Tree Dog u are so right,I suffered through many tough years but stuck with my Tigers. Kids today, many that never played the game are so spoiled they mostly leave the game several times in the 3rd. quarter But still call themselves football fans.

Yeah, a bunch of grammarians on the rant note spelling errors, but rarely does anyone note a dangling participial phrase or a needed possessive adjective to modify a gerund.

If one decides to develop multiple soliloquies to convey his opinions, then proper care should be taken of the audience.
If you are just shooting the shite on the rant than let it fly.
I was just curious if he was getting auto-"in"corrected at an unreasonable rate on a mobile device.

yea, dinardo really did start the comeback. if he had not been so hard headed and fired lou tepper he might have had a much longer tenure here. lou tepper was the worst DC i have ever seen at any level of football.

If had not started micro managing his Offense and Defense Coordinators, prompting them to leave, he would have never even had a reason to hire Tepper............I know Morris Watts was the OC then, but can't remember the DC?? They were both doing a very good job for Dinardo..........

Truth seems to be that the tragic death of Bo Rein set LSU back about twenty years. There was a lack of leadership with vision enough to replace what would have been an outstanding young coach. For years LSU hired one unprepared/unproven coach after another.Gerry D was better than I expected him to be, and was probably the best we could have hoped for given the state of the program. But Archer and Hallman were, in my opinion, among the worst hires in the history of Division 1 football. Neither of them had people skills, or were able to recruit worth beans. Their football acumen was that of a decent, though unspectacular assistant coach.

You know Daddy wasn't going to allow that.
On the original post - With Watts and Reese as coordinators, DiNardo had something going on for sure. Then we had the "Tepper Experience" and it all broke down.
I give Gerry credit for making the first step at closing the border and refocuing recruits attention back on LSU. Especially when you think back to the flash of some of the programs (Florida State, Notre Dame, Miami) that were raiding Louisiana in the 80s and early 90s. Hell, even Colorado was picking up talent back then.
DiNardo started it, Saban capitalized on it and Miles has continued to step it up.
The non-LSU fan will tell you that our football program didn't exist until Nick Saban came along and birthed it from his golden vagina. But I'm over 40 and know this to be bullshite.

I'd agree TreeDawg. 95 Indy Bowl was the jumping off point for LSU's return.

That's sig quote material right there.

quote:there's 2 parts to awakening the giant: closing the borders, then looking outside the borders. i remember saban specifically talking about this, that the "all we have to do is keep the Louisiana kids and we'll have a national title team" was flawed. yes, we have great talent here, but where we've taken the leap forward is keeping the homegrown guys, but cherry-picking from elsewhere. someone else listed all the dudes from elsewhere, and it really drives home the point.
LSU was a "sleeping giant"
great times to be a tiger fan!

Grammarian Bayou Wrangler, it should be bother in your original complaint.

lmfao nice!

What if Saban comes in this year and takes the No. 1 and No. 3 player from Les to Alabama. What does that say?
