Sammy Martin was fast, but man was he skinny. How did he not get cracked in half? Between he and Harvey Williams, that was one heckuva speedy backfield. Speaking of Harvey, he grew up near College Station and chose LSU in a made for TV moment on signing day. The Aggie fans have hated their homebo...

Don't understand this "who cares" attitude about the SEC Tournament championship. Vandy wine the regular season championship. I for one would love nothing more that see an LSU-Vandy showdown in the championship game with Nola on the mound as his second game in the tourney. Could be a primer for the ...

| re: John Adams as punter and DE - Iam4LSUnTN on 4/29/13 at 8:42 pm
Ok...for you young buck Ranters...John Adams was an All SEC DE AND punter for LSU from 77-81. One of the very best players in that era. Played with Woodley, Ensminger John Ed Bradley, Willie Teal, and many others who left there mark at that time. He was a phenomenal athlete and competitor. Drafte...

This year reminded me of the 1978 season when we were "left at the alter" with no post season bid after an "emerging" season with a very similar record. The next 5 years brought 5 NCAA tourneys, 3 Sweet Sixteen, 2Elite Eight, and 1 Final Four Finishes.

At this critical point in TM's life, it's all about building Trust with high integrity.
