Here is for Props and Prayers for Dandy Don. For those of us that live out of state, his website is perfect. His site is my first read in the morning. Yes, I know, he summarizes news from various websites (Advocate, LSU Sports.Net, Tiger Rant, etc.) and sometimes he posts things with typo's and misstatements, but he always posts something - everyday, without fail. In my opinion, it is a great compilation about what is happening regarding LSU, in and around Louisiana.

It is amazing that he still takes the time to update his page, every day, without fail, even though we all know that he is struggling with his wife's illness and his own personal health situation. He is truly a great Tiger fan. He was around before the Tiger Rant (which is a great website) and his memories will be around forever.

Dandy Don - I salute you and I pray for you and your family. May God shine down his many Tiger Town blessings on you and your family and give you the peace to deal with all of your troubles.

Realize that life is a journey. Don’t sweat the small stuff and don’t get too overjoyed with your successes in life. Life is truly like a roller coaster – sometimes on the way up, it goes real slow. Sometimes on the way down, it goes way too fast and you spend all your time screaming and complaining. In the end, hopefully, you will be able to say it was a great ride.

Thanks Dandy Don for a great ride and I am looking forward to many more daily updates on your website. I appreciate your commitment to all true Tiger Fans and to LSU.

Dandy Don is truly one of the all-time LSU fan greats. Plus LSU aside, he's a pretty great human being in general, from what I can figure out.

To DD

I used to read his stuff daily when I was in college, before I discovered this damn place. To him and his family, all the best.

dd might be the first website i ever visited. it has been a huge and necessary part of my daily routine for longer than i can remember. he is a complete homer, but at 80, he is allowed to be. he has seen it ALL as a true tiger fan. i hope i even have the physical ability to log on the net at 80, much less be dedicated to a daily sports write up. god bless dd.
