'84 was an ok yr. Probably should've beat UF (Betanzos) missed a short FG that would've won it. We were thin at DL. Lost Barbay for the yr vs UF. Lost Henry Thomas for the yr vs ND. Andolsek was starting at DL as a true FR.

Arnsparger had some heartbreaks in the FG game ea yr. Vs UF in '84, Ronnie Lewis vs Bama in '85, and Browndyke vs OM in '86.

He interviwed for the Fla. A.D. job while still coaching LSU. That went over like a lead balloon.Good Ol' Smoke said once that he flew with Skip to recruit a multi sport ball player & on the 2 hr flite going and coming Skip never spoke one word to him. Quirkly is being polite. Great coach but an a-hole as a person.

Just think about '86. Upset by Miami of Ohio...in Tiger Stadium...a week after handling top 10 Texas A&M in the season opener and a missed 24 yd FG in the Ole Miss game...also in Tiger Stadium...to again be upset. LSU still won the SEC...with a freshman QB. Imagine had LSU had their minds right in those 2 upset losses. Also, I would have LOVED to seen Arnsparger or Spurrier coach that '87 team!!
