On the back of one of the scoreboards in TS it’s clearly marked ’58, ’03, and ’07 in HUGE numbers. Should we take that down?



Nah. For one, it's huge because it's way the frick up there. Also, our last championship was less than two years ago.

I was fine with leaving it up in the old box. But actually going out of the way to bring that monstrous thing over to the new box is unnecessary.

The billboard only became tacky when it served no purpose (i.e. no longer intimidated).
Lastly, Bgwin = gay.

I'm anti-moving the Intimidator, just not the for the reasons discussed here. I think it was the unique focal point for the old Alex Box, and we should do something different for the new stadium to let it have it's own identity.

I am still all for throwing all of the national titles into every opponent's face regardles of the years we won them. I just think we should find a new way to display them that would be more of a unique centerpiece for the new park.

Your entire argument against the intimidator is that "it is no longer intimidating." Please tell me that you are not that dumb and actually realize it was just a name and was not built for the sole purpose of intimidating other players? It was built to celebrate our dominance of the 90's era (Which is actually not that long ago, but for you it sounds like it was the jurassic era). It is widely known in the world of business and management that one must appreciate and celebrate past accomplishments while at the same time moving forward and innovating. LSU has done a great job at that with the new Alex Box.

I hope they put the intimidator right in front of where you sit at the games, if you even go to them at all.
