The one with Matt Damon holding up the paper saying how you like them apples was epic. Plus his diatribes giving the game some kind of back story. Glory days I guess.

Indeed. That dude’s super talented. Maybe he’ll bless us with one this year, I believe he said he’d gotten too busy to crank those out with consistency.

KadronBOOOOONE as a comic book sound effect ftw.

Both were awesome. Every now and then Chicageaux will still spit one out if the game is big enough. Don’t think we’ll have that this year unfortunately.

The Trough for people who don't know what the OP is referring to

Also one of the best arse whooping I've seen in person...that VT game!!! 48-7 final score with 598 yards of offense and only 149 for VT.
Keiland Williams' calf became a thing.
#18 was solidified as a tradition. BCS drama at its height. Computer polls, the math behind it...Pitt helping us get to the title game.

Good memories!

Thanks, BillBobfan (and everyone else). It really was a blip of a thing and I'm humbled and appreciative that anyone even remembers it.

Short answer: life
Long answer: Between designing and coding the site, coming up with every concept, doing all the writing and graphics, and integrating that consistently into Troughness - week after week - became a lot. Some life happened, and then it wented away.

Never say never. Thanks again for the kind words.

I'll admit I'm pretty proud of that one. When I did it in that comic book font and saw how absurd and absurdly perfectly Trough it was, I LOL'ed.

These were so awesome. I totally get the time suck it may have taken, but you should consider making them when LSU gets back into the playoff.

Just for the playoff game or perhaps even the SEC championship game.

You could even start a thread about potential topics and themes and likely get a ton of inspiration so you wouldn’t have to create every single part of it.

Between you and Freek this stuff was next level.

I wonder if we drank together at The Bayou a time or two. The Trough was comedic genius!

I used to refresh the hell out of TD back then waiting for The Trough to pop up. You are a real man of genius.
