re: Friends son just passed away in a car accident
Posted by JoBo68 on 3/18/24 at 10:00 pm
This exact thing happened to me four years ago except my 22 year old son died instantly. So I speak from experience when I say just being there is the first thing to do. They will remember that you showed up in their time of greatest need. Truly, nothing has to be said but words do matter. If you ca...

re: Barrett-Jackson Car Auction
Posted by JoBo68 on 1/22/23 at 12:48 pm
I recently had mine restored but not back to exact original. It now has a 350 Chevy engine. It still needs a few things I can do myself I just need to get it done.
I don’t know how to post a picture ...

re: Which posters supported the Ed Orgeron hire?
Posted by JoBo68 on 10/13/21 at 3:30 pm
I thought O was a hire of convenience but I admit I kinda liked the “geaux tigahs” after the halftime interview. I thought “tell the truth Monday” etc. sounded neat and he seemed to answer questions head-on. A new sound. But now it all sounds a bit childish and a big todo about nothing like ripping ...
re: How many dead people do you have in your phone contacts?
Posted by JoBo68 on 9/17/21 at 9:50 am
I have a few. Probably won’t ever delete them. Especially my 22 year old son. He died in a car wreak, February 2020, while the Tigers were on top of the world. He never knew covid or Biden’s America (or lack thereof)...
re: First cold front of the year is on the way

Hello my fellow central Mississippian. I’m looking forward to this cool front.
Spent a few days in the sweltering heat helping friends recover from the storm in Lake Charles. There seems to be a noticeable difference in the heat/humidity between here and there ...

Hey Kevin! So neat to see you on here and thanks so much for the kind words. Your church family was such a blessing and went way beyond even the highest expectations for us! Thanks again. See you around here or elsewhere bro ...

Thank you so much! I hope to never pass up a chance to speak encouragement to someone in need. It’s a tough way to learn a lesson but I think this one is forever learned.
God bless you and the memory of you child ...
Another Tiger fan gone too soon
Posted by JoBo68 on 2/26/20 at 7:54 am
Yesterday I buried my 22 year old tiger fan. He was killed in a car wreck last Thursday morning on his way to work. Blake still lived at home with plans to marry his girlfriend after she graduates from nursing school in a couple of years. He had it all planned out, but God had other plans. I trust H...
re: Article on Guice
Posted by JoBo68 on 5/23/18 at 8:15 pm
I probably know less than you or anyone else so I’m not arguing with you at all but...why did they pick on him? Who did it benefit to let him slide in the draft or to bring his character into question?...
re: Article on Guice
Posted by JoBo68 on 5/23/18 at 3:44 pm
Makes sense to me. I don’t think teams were afraid he was the one guy that could/would call them out and take them down because he “tells it like it is.”
Hopefully he’ll put it behind him and thrive in his element....
re: Article on Guice
Posted by JoBo68 on 5/23/18 at 3:03 pm
I agree!
I don’t think he’s the first guy to ever “call it like he sees it” in one of those interviews. Probably not the first that didn’t give “Stanford type” answers. I doubt his answers were the first “real” answers they had ever heard and “reality” was more than they could handle.
So thi...
re: What's the Rant's thoughts on Jacques Doucet's impression of Hawthorne?
Posted by JoBo68 on 3/7/18 at 6:29 pm
The impression was actually pretty good! Enjoyed what coach had to say about the impression and about Jim.
Since I have never been to a game in Tiger Stadium Jim Hawthorne took me to the game on Saturday nights. He was definitely "off" the last few years. It made me laugh and it made me cringe b...
re: What is your earliest recollection of LSU Football?
Posted by JoBo68 on 2/9/18 at 7:09 pm
As a kid tiger fan in Mississippi I remember reading the Jackson news paper. It was my only connection to tiger football back then. I read about Jeff Wickersham and Alan Risher, the Dalton-James gang and others. They are my first real memories of LSU football.
I have vague memories of hearing or r...
re: Recruits chasing championships
Posted by JoBo68 on 2/8/18 at 3:33 pm
Perhaps he could get the same level conditioning and certainly can play alongside top level talent at LSU. But I can't argue with you on the others unless it would be position coaching with Raymond. Then I hear people saying he's leaving so...
I guess it's really a business as early as going to a...
re: Recruits chasing championships
Posted by JoBo68 on 2/8/18 at 3:24 pm
Yes! A guy that says "I'm going to LSU to beat Saban and win a championship, come go with me"
It can be done. LSU has won and can/will again. If not I had fun playing for my school. ...
re: Recruits chasing championships
Posted by JoBo68 on 2/8/18 at 3:18 pm
You are right and I understand that side of it.
I've never been recruited for anything and never will be, certainly not as an 18 year old kid hoping to go to the NFL, but my simple mind says I've been an LSU fan all my life and I guess I'd be going there hoping to bring championships back to MY sc...
Recruits chasing championships
Posted by JoBo68 on 2/8/18 at 2:26 pm
I know there's not much reality in this way of thinking but I'd love to hear a recruit be a bad enough dude to choose his school saying "come with me, championships follow me" instead of choosing to play for the latest champion saying "I'm following you to championships."
Sure it's just "in the mov...
re: "Doctor 363, Please call your exchange"
Posted by JoBo68 on 10/30/16 at 8:21 am
I've never been to a game in Tiger stadium but I'm old enough to have started "looking back" at fond memories in my life so...even though I've never heard or seen any of the things posted, I love reading this thread and the posts by all the "old" tiger fans. Thanks guys!
Btw, I did get a sneak pe...
