Bitch Bitch Bitch

I gave up going trick or treating back in 1959 in order to travel with my dad on the Tiger Train from Shreveport to Baton Rouge. I attended my very first Tiger game. It turned out to be a pretty good game. The coach at the time would leave LSU a few years later to coach at the US Military Academy. His successor would be vilified his entire career and would be (up until and even after his retirement) compared to his predecessor.I do not question that Coach Dietzel was a great coach. But Cholly Mac is STILL the "winningest" coach in Tiger history.
It seems history repeats itself. Only the names tend to change.

It is now been over 50 years since I became a Tiger Fan. I will be one till the day I die.
Doesn't anyone remember the litany of coaches that passed through after Coach McClendon. Give the Mad Hatter a break. So we had a bad year. Yes our recruiting class may not be as stellar as last year's. Have faith. I would still rather be Bayou Bengal than anything else.

I currently live in Temple, Texas.

I live less than 70 miles from Austin, Texas. This is Longhorn County. (Yes this is the hometown of Lache Seastrunk) Two years ago there were two full sized billboards in town. One was on Interstate 35. Each showed a huge image of Mike the Tiger and read Congratulations to The 2007 BCS National Champions Louisiana State University. That was pretty cool. It made those losing years worth the wait.
Last year I sat in a pub in Austin and watched as the Omaha Dog Pile was Purple and Gold. That also was pretty cool.

Before you begin pounding on your Commadore 64s to reply, take a closer look at a few of the recruits for the 2010 signing class and you might see some amazing baseball talent as well. By the way for someone who actually played baseball for the Tigers in the early 70's ... Six National Championships is way cool!!!!
