re: Looking to clairfy some "myths" about LSU Football

After enduring the rain, wind and a 44 to 3 beating, what realy PO'ed many of us was Ruffin Rodique saying that "the score didn't indicate how close the game really was". I am still mad about that comment.

Steve Spurrier was in Baton Rouge for the interview when the players "struck" for Archer. Spurrier was brought to the Capital from the airport to meet some of the politicans instead of being taken to the campus. He asked why he wasn't being brought to the campus and he was told that this is Louisiana and you need to meet the politicans. I have always thought (but could be wrong) that people escorting Spurrier knew what was happening about Archer. Spurrier was "very upset" that he was not taken to the campus. In fact, he found out that Archer had the job while he was at the capital. And he imediately went back to the airport. He was some PO'ed and everyone knows how his instant temper reacts.

A mutual friend of Steve and myself told me that he "had a helava hard on for LSU" and he showed it during his years at Florida when he took no mercy on us.

In my opinion, he would not have done as well at LSU because of the outside pressures that would not have let him control the program as he was able to at Florida.

I am still bitter about Rodiques comment. I have always wondered what he dad said to him. His dad was a damn good football player at LSU.
