Which helps explain the stupidity that you posted after this.

I'd be fine if I never heard his name again.

Then you are not much of an LSU fan. Bandwagon maybe but true fan? Not. You can't pick and choose your history. To dismiss one of the most iconic events in LSU history and CFB history shows your youthful ignorance.

Any player who didn't have to play against black athletes shouldn't be considered better than anyone playing today.

Who said he was better than anyone else? He was great for his time and would probably be great today. Players can only play against who they have during their lifetime. To try to compare players from different generations is fun but unrealistic. Would the 1976 Steelers beat the 2015 Patriots? Different era and different game.

I've seen his "run". Not that magical to me.

Can't understand this. What was on the line, time in the game when it happened and results of the run were all pretty important.

Sorry but I just don't see the hype.

Apparently not

Geaux Tigers!

You finally make sense.
