Dubious timing, but I heard through all the chatter this week that John Talty’s book on Lane was set to release Sept 15.

I’m not familiar with Talty, but I came across one of his articles on CBS about this whole SEC/LSU mess with an obvious SEC slant, and then saw he lives in Birmingham.

Anybody plan on giving this a read? Or like me, are we assuming it will be heavily anti-Lane?

It'll be full on villain Lane with Ole Miss being a victim that never did anything wrong. Ever.

I might have to pick up a copy if that’s the case.

That goober that is on at night in BR on tape delay said it delves into, among other things, his Joey Freshwater days at Bama. Oh juicy. Yawn.

What's funny is:

LSU with a bad coach = loved
Lane with a bad team = loved

LSU with Lane = both hated

Not hard to figure out what's going on.

Isn’t Talty the one who started the rumor Lane encouraged the players to sue after contacting NFL coaches ?

I wonder if it will cover when Orgeron first got the job and Lane planned to join him in BR? I doubt it.

I find the idea of writing a book about someone else, while they're still alive, to be a bit weird. Except incases where it's a biography commissioned by said person.

Wouldn’t surprise me based on his most recent article’s title:

“Facing potential expulsion, LSU blinked first in standoff with SEC”

Makes me very hesitant to see what this book is all about

The guy lives in Alabama, this is nothing but a hit piece. Someone should dig into his personal life and make it public.
