Was he wearing something bright and shaggy again? Am I the only one embaraseed at the fact that he is from LSU. I sort of wish they wouldn't invite him to anything. Just MHO


Nah, he waqs just wearing a plain white T. He was hanging out with Justin Vincent (who is pretty chunky as well), early doucet, ali highsmith, and a few others

I guess the fall from grace has humbled him lol. Or maybe since he is broke he can't afford the latest homeless collection. I saw JV when he got there and I though he looked like he cut some fat and bulked up. He actually got upset with one of the girls working the area. He moved his name tag from the very end to the 3rd from the front. the girl questioned him on Moving and he responded rather loudly, "because you put me in the sun". She yelled back that she didn't do it and walked away. I just laughed. You had people standing In the sun for hours n

Anyone see Herman Johnson? I think I got a pic of him eating crawfish; he wasn't at the signing table when I went through :(

Everytime I looked, his chair was empty. I never saw him.

And everyone will be glad to know that, despite Grewe and Mainieri being terrible terrible no good people, Glenn Dorsey is a very friendly and nice guy.

He really is. I shook his hand and said "It was a joy to watch you play man" he was really appreciative.

I just got home so I want to do my venting. The two lines thing was ridiculous. I was wondering why they had the two lists on the spring game page, but now I know why. Go figure someone would want everyone's autograph. They must've really underestimated how many people thought this was a good change to get some LSU history at home. One the bright side, if you got something with all of them it might be worth something one day since it seems there won't be that many of them.

Who would you contact for a respectful recommendation? I think they should post what time they are cutting off at the BACK of the line. You can only get so upset if you don't get in line by an advertised time.

And props to Corey Webster coming out to sign autos right after they cut the line.

If you have ever been to an autograph signing, then you should know that you have to get there early because you know there will be a cut off time. They would have been out there til 7 if they had to accommodate everyone in line. I was in line at 11:00am and was about 40 people back.
Also I'm glad they didn't combine the regular NFL'rs with the ALL AMERICANS. That's an elite group that you'll never get a chance to get all at once again.

Without a doubt...got Faulk and Mealey on my white LSU helmet.

Got Reed, James, Webster, Dorsey, Jones, Casanova, Fugler, Davis and Faulk on a gold helmet.

I agree with the lines, I was fortunate enough to be in the L club yesterday. I don't think they purposely made it a cluster. I think they underestimated how many people were going to show up. Definitely piss poor planning

That's just LSU Ath Dept. defined right there, piss poor planning. Any one of us could've looked at this event and said, you know, I bet a ton of people are going to show up for a heretofore unheard of event at LSU how about we:

1.Tell the power mad a-hole marshals to do their job and keep the line moving.
2. Tell our coworkers it would move faster if they weren't bringing family and friends in through the fence behind the tents since that will slow it down.
3. Make two lines and let people choose because that would speed it up as well.

If we do that, we might just pull it off, not embarass ourselves and furnish our legends and our loyal fans with a good time and nice memory.

Nah! Who are we kidding?! We're the LSU Athletic Dept, we've gotta screw this up. It's what we do.

Did anyone see Rohan Davey at that party or in the stadium or anywhere? I was curious if he was around.
