re: For those who attended LSU, how was the sports scene when you were there?

coined that phrase one crazy eve. as an lsu student. Had the buttons made "Do the Dalton" one Saturday afternoon Brent Musburger said on national tv "They are Doing the Dalton in Baton Rouge" more to the story but that is the short version. Still have about 30 of those buttons. Gave a handfull to Dalton after Lsu and "Risher Riddled the Tide" in Birmingham that one awesome Saturday afternoon..

That is pretty cool!


I was frat brothers with a couple of guys from Patterson & they kept telling me about this great running back coming to LSU. Of course, the "marquee" recruit was Gary James, but in deference to them I was cheering for Dalton to get a chance.

Man, he hit the ground running (so to speak) that first game & never looked back. Gary James was good & they made a hellava pair to draw to, but Dalton definitely outshown Gary at LSU & the pros.

He, along with Ethan Martin, were my two favorite "hometown" LSU sports stars back in the day.

Do you remember the "If Pigs could Fly" t-shirts after we kicked Bama's butt that year? Some sportswriter in Moblie, I think, had written an article titled,

"LSU Can Beat Bama Today....Yeah, If Pigs Could Fly"


After the game, some enterprising fellow had t-shirts made with that quote & a flying pig & some other smart-assed shite. I kept that T-shirt for years, but it's gone now.
