Art Cantrelle, How Bad Was He?


My mom dated Art while at LSU.

My dad knew of him because, as told to me, they ran in the same circles (my dad was a boxer from the Westbank, so...) and kinda knew each other.

From the few stories I've been told - he would've been awesome to hangout with.

“Art Cantrelle is pure evil, formed of twisted blue steel and raised in the smoldering fires of hell.

“When Cantrelle entered a bar, everyone knew him and they either left or all walked over to the other side of the room. That’s how bad Art was.”

The book ‘Tales from the LSU Sidelines’ has some entertaining stories about him.

Sure, but I would think he dated his wife for at least some time

You think he’s lying about his Mom dating a football player for eCred?

.....and he did not look like a badass. He's probably 5'9"?

Just don't get on his bad side. You would not like him if he was mad.

Heard a few from my father who was in high school in BR while Art was at LSU. Dad had a cop buddy who told him they’d get calls, at least a few times a month. from bars complaining that Art was drunk smashing shite and kicking everyone’s arse that looked at him the wrong way. Guy said they’d make the new officers take the “Art Calls” as a sort of initiation haha

An LSU photo of Art Cantrelle looks like that of a preppy frat boy who could not hurt anyone. Not only was he a brutal running back at LSU, he was well-known by the Baton Rouge Police Department who hated being called to break up any fight with, or disturbance caused by, Cantrelle. He was a rough customer. I have been told by people who knew him, or witnessed his confrontations, that he was not to be messed with. He could hurt adversaries badly. He had no fear and possessed the strength of any linebacker. No exaggeration.

No?

I was making a lighthearted joke that he should check and see if his mom actually married him or if she dated him while he was married
