That happened right down the road from my apartment on Nicholson Drive. It was the game where we tied #1 Nebraska 6-6. The story I heard was that there was a line of cars on the way down to the bars and Rusty punched a guy's car and dented it. The guy got out and Rusty expected to pummel him. It turned out that the guy was as big and badder than him and proceeded to kick his butt. That's when someone handed Rusty a knife and he stabbed the guy. That was the end of his career at LSU.

Played golf with and became friends with Eddie Ray. We played as a team in a Couple of Biloxi golf tourneys and he introduced me to Cantrell. He was still the terror of Biloxi police in the 90s. Eddie told me if a fight breaks out in the bar we were in, get behind Art. Sure nuff. The police didn’t arrest him. They politely asked him if he wouldn’t beat up anybody else that night. He agreed and we had a few more adult beverages.

Got to be some wild bar room stories in that group.

I have a friend that saw the security video taken from the fight Ryan Perriloux had with the bouncers who were trying to throw him out of the Varsity. He said it was 4 or 5 really big guys and Perriloux was throwing them around like rag dolls!

My era was ‘78-82 and I never witnessed him fight but heard stories about how Ensminger had a quick/bad temper and did a lot of damage at Faps (now Fred’s)

One thing I have learned is that all the people back in previous decades that lost fights must have died early, bc it’s only people that were badasses and beat every up that anyone ever heard from. “Oh but he lost to a LSU football player.” Like that is conceding anything, probably just got beat up by a black guy and claims this in his made up story

Arthur CANTRELLE! Grew up in Larose down Delta Farms. Quite possibly the Toughest SOB to ever put on an LSU Uniform.

It’s funny how after smartphones, we have way less instances of people slinging 900 pound machines around as if it were a traffic cone.

You know how the fish grows in the story every time one tells it? That’s what’s happening here, the feats of strength proposed here are absurd for even the world’s strongest man competitors. And if true, these stories show him in an absolutely terrible light, beating up police officers? Everyone having to leave the bar when he showed up? Wtf kind of shite is this?

quote:From the people that were there, it seems Laputka sucker punched him. Yeah, real tough guy.
And by the way this is the guy who put Cantrelle on his arse.
quote:
" Cantrelle played professionally with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League and with the Birmingham Americans of the World Football League. His coach, Jack Gotta with Ottawa and Birmingham, said Cantrelle was the toughest player he ever coached. In Ottawa, it was reported that Cantrelle lost a memorable fight to teammate Tom Laputka, a defensive lineman, who had played with the San Francisco 49ers. Earl McRae, a writer for the Ottawa Sun recalls the LSU import this way: “What nasty, scary piece of work he was.” McRae called on defensive back John Kruspe to recount Cantrelle’s bout with Laputka. “They got into arm wrestling,” Kruspe said. “For his size, Art was strong as hell. He was beating everybody no matter how big they were. “Tom Laputka was watching from across the room. His arms were bigger than my thighs…He went over, they locked hands, but they couldn’t decide on the grip. Cantrelle kept mouthing away at him. “Laptutka had enough. He swung a haymaker, nailed Art in the face, knocked him flat on his back, out cold. When Art came to, he shot out of the building. Five minutes later I was outside on the sidewalk when I saw him coming…He was in a rage. His eyes were on fire. In his hand, he was waving a pistol. He was looking for Laputka.”

Anyone who actually believes he was swinging a pinball machine around also believes Paul Bunyan was a real guy.

Art Cantrell is a legend on the MS Gulf Coast. He has large hands......take people out with his pinkie finger.
Back in late 70's Pitt Panthers stayed in Biloxi prepping for Sugar Bowl (Jackie Sherrill Pitt head coach was from Biloxi).
One night during the week the Pitt boys were out in Biloxi clubbing. A ruckus ensued and Mr. Tony Dorsett encountered Art Cantrell and it didn't go well for Tony D.
