 | re: Just met Bert Jones!! - dimet on 5/15/13 at 11:05 am
There is a great Bert Jones story from his day...Jones bet Rusty Jackson, the punter,that he could throw the ball further up the TS bleachers than Jackson could kick it. Legend holds that on the pressbox side that Jackson got it to the 10th row from the top while Jones got it to the 3rd row from the...

Did you have the meniscus repaired or removed? The popping could be scar tissue, as someone posted earlier, or even debris from the meniscus tear. Make certain to strengthen the hamstring to stabilize the ACL......

The problem was that the best players were wearing football uniforms. Jay Blass was the player of the year in NO and he never played baseball. Kent Nicar was drafted by the Yankees, Bob Lane and John Ed Bradley were both all state and NONE of these even guys sniffed a baseball field. Coach Mac was a...

Andolsek was no way, shape or form, thuggish. I started LSU in '77 and the Art Cantrelle stories are mythic...and the poster concerning Greg Cook is spot on. The greatest Cookieman story is the night he borrowed Coach Mac's golf cart and drove it around campus that night! The Campus police found it ...

| re: For the old-timers...when did Cholly Mac first get on the hot seat? - dimet on 1/29/13 at 2:52 pm
The slippery slope began with Mike Miley choosing pro baseball over LSU football at the start of the '74 season. LSU had implemented the veer offense to fit the talents of both Miley and Carl Otis Trimble. It just wasn't successful. The '77 recruiting class was the class that many felt would put Coa...

| re: Tommy Casanova on Cholly Mac - dimet on 1/6/13 at 8:47 pm
The recruiting game is far different in 2012 than it was in 1975. LSU recruited regionally during Coach Mac's tenure. Today, a program must recruit nationally to be successful. Early recruiting was not in place during Coach Mac's tenure. Also, the top athletes wanted to come to LSU. That seemed the ...

With your engineering hours, consult your academic adviser and ascertain what would apply to a math/science specialty area. PE and Social Studies are the predominant majors for coaches so those slots are limited. Once you gain a certification in your math/science area, you can find a job most anywhe...

Charlie would be a terrific zone scheme RB...great speed, incredible strength and a true one cut guy. Carlos Carson could fly and would flourish in a true 4 wide out system. Remember that OL had Robert Dugas, who was 2nd team All American. Defensively, the secondary had Chris Williams, Willie Teal a...
