Found this picture of the 1986 LSU placekicker giving the bird to the LSU student section

I like the passion.

Negatiger frickin fricks always existed.

Looks like his bitch arse shouldn’t have missed 3 kicks in a row. Tuition ain’t free.









Awesome pic and story

Hahaha at least he was shooting something straight...

Arnsparger's tenure was plagued by short, missed FGs at critical times.

'84: Juan Betanzos missed a short FG vs UF in our first game that would have won it. Instead we tied 21-21 I think. Betanzos had been a good kicker in '82 and'83 but just lost his confidence in '84 and was replaced by Ronnie Lewis.

'85: Lewis could have won it vs Bama but missed a short FG at the end. We tied 14-14. And that was the beginning of the end for Ronnie.

'86: Lewis gets replaced by left footed David Browndyke who had made 4 FGs vs OM. But he missed late and we lost 19-21.

I was at that game and worked with Ronnie after I graduated LSU. My first week at the job, I was going around the office meeting people and was talking to him when I saw the photo on his wall and put two and two together. We got a big laugh out of the story. He and I were friends for several years after that before I moved on to a different career path. Nice guy.

He got a try out for the NFL (with the Cardinals) after graduating and made it through four days of camp before being sent home. His story of that was pretty funny. As he told it, the first three days were meetings, physicals, basic combine type tests and such. On the fourth day they suited up and went out to kick. They booted a few and started backing up and almost immediately were at his career long with the other candidates easily making it. He told me he knew he was in over his head and ten minutes later he was packing his stuff to head home. Shortest NFL career ever.

We lost to Miami of Ohio in 1986 so he had zero business flipping anyone off but himself.

Had nothing to do with that loss. LSU fumbled something like 12 times that night and lost 9 of them.

Well at least in the 80s no student would have needed grief counseling after the incident unlike Millennial's...

He choked against Bama too. That is probably what burned his hole the most.

Lol so true. There would be tears and screams of horror today if they were faced with such an incident. Oh the outrage!!
