re: Did HVL choose the portal or was it recommended?
Posted by TigernoTide on 4/5/24 at 7:50 pm
This is the real head-scratcher. Clark is 6'0; Mikaylah is 6'0. HVL is 5'7. Clark should never have been her defensive assignment in the first place. How much of HVL's offense that assignment cost us we'll never know....
re: Terrible decision.Why did van lith start on Clark.Never want a good shooter to start rolli
Posted by TigernoTide on 4/3/24 at 3:40 pm
She was injured early in the season and then had to play herself into shape. That's why she looked heavy and slow in February.
The main reason we lost was we could not buy a basket in the second half. Worse shooting performance by LSU women I can remember....

And HVL went into the game sick, and we have no idea for how much of the playoffs she was sick. If you have to take an IV feed right before the game, which she did, it isn't going to kick in right away. Maybe they is why Kim benched her early.
And if she was that sick it might explain why she w...
re: VAN LITH will be the reason we WIN Monday Night!!!!

Dutch or Belgian. If she were German, that "van""would be "von,"and I'm not sure that honorific goes to women anyway....
re: Van Lith will be X Factor next game
Posted by TigernoTide on 3/30/24 at 7:34 pm
I wonder how many of HVL's problems stem from her having to toggle between playing point and shooting guard, positions with different priorities. Points are expected to feed the ball to others so they can shoot; shooters expect to be fed the ball so they can shoot. Can it be that having to focus on...
re: Skenes to donate $100/K to Sinise Foundation
Posted by TigernoTide on 3/28/24 at 7:42 pm
About a dozen years ago Sinise brought his review to my university to benefit a local boy who had taken shrapnel in the neck and was paralyzed, Total class and professionalism all the way and total respect for the "guest of honor"; and Sinise played his Fender Jazz Bass better than anyone would hav...
re: Who's your favorite 20th Century LSU football player?
Posted by TigernoTide on 10/28/22 at 2:18 pm
For the name alone, Gawain DiBetta.
Because I taught him freshman composition in 1971, Steve Rogers....
re: Trey Quinn Opens Up About Transfer
Posted by TigernoTide on 7/15/16 at 9:10 am
How many drops were pre-corrective eye surgery, and how many after the surgery? For that matter, how many opportunities were after the surgery? Dwayne Bowe had some problems seeing the ball as well, and had to have corrective surgery, after which he was much better....
re: New policy bans opposing bands from performing in TS
Posted by TigernoTide on 6/11/16 at 9:07 pm
At the very least, this is an embarrassment for LSU in that it looks so bush league; if breach of contract with JaxState kicks in it could be much worse.
I have multiple graduate degrees from LSU and after the last one I immediately went to work at JSU and still am here. JSU may be an FCS school...
re: Remembering tiger greats who's life was cut short
Posted by TigernoTide on 12/28/14 at 11:27 pm
My one encounter with Miley came during summer intramural softball, when somehow my team of LSU English Department graduate students got matched against a team of LSU athletes that had Miley pitching and also had Doug Moreau.
Miley almost got undressed on the mound during that game, a la Charlie ...
re: Advocate article on recent quarterback history
Posted by TigernoTide on 11/27/14 at 12:38 pm
Well, yeah; considering that an 11/24 dateline was posted to the Rant on 11/25, and considering that in all the threads on QB I had not seen Crowton's statement about JL being recruited because of his similarities to Flynn, it is news....

Puts some things into perspective.

re: turning point on miles
Posted by TigernoTide on 11/26/14 at 10:16 pm
Actually, to me Miles' offense is starting to look like Cholly Mac's offense; not a lot of imagination showing there. I'm sure 1/09/12 had its impact on him, but we now seem to have a changeling Les Miles. The gambler is gone and what we have now seems content on playing not to lose....
re: Your favorite unsung Tiger of all times
Posted by TigernoTide on 8/8/13 at 1:28 pm
Steve Rogers, who shared time with Davis
Jim Benglis, who opened holes for Art Cantrelle
(Little) Jimmy Ledoux, whom Mac actually made run out of a full-house backfield
And, for the name alone, Gawain DiBetta...
re: LSU's first president pays a visit to the great state of South Carolina
Posted by TigernoTide on 12/4/12 at 1:40 pm
I think you are confusing two U.S. presidents. Zachary Taylor did own slaves, but he died so soon after becoming president he hardly had opportunity to address slavery or anything else. Andrew Jackson is the president who threatened South Carolina with
a drubbing in the 1830s -- over secession due ...
re: Can you all at least somewhat appreciate what JJ/JL brought to the table now?
Posted by TigernoTide on 9/23/12 at 11:26 pm
BUT, had Mett gotten some meaningful reps in mop-up
duty last year when JJ was suspended, would he have
now enough experience and understanding of SEC speed to not have made some of the mistakes he did against Auburn?...

Wow! Prather. I saw him play when I was in the band
at Shreveport Woodlawn. That school's first five quarterbacks:
1. Billy Laird
2. Trey Prather
3. Terry Bradshaw
4. Joe Ferguson
5. John Booty...

re: So Jarrett Lee Led SD's Winning Drive Tonight?
Posted by TigernoTide on 8/26/12 at 4:44 pm
Not to be contentious here, but as long as Lee is able to make the plays and complete the passes, how much difference does it make what he does with his feet? Isn't this like having a mechanical flaw that one devises a workaround to compensate for? Like a weak-armed outfielder who tries to position ...
re: Chargers down to two QBs now . . .

My bad. It was not a broadcast, so no screen shot.
It was under he NFL tab, the story about Boller retiring. The Whitehurst info is there too....
