re: Ramsay Dardar

Announcer kept saying how great a player the all american center for Nebraska was. But every time they panned in Dardar was knocking him on his azz. Dardar was beat'n his azz the entire game and the announcers finally shut up about it.

I remember this well. The center was Dave Rimington and he won the Outland Trophy that year. He was holding Dardar the whole game because he was getting beat. The announcers finally had to stop isolating on Rimington.

Yeah Dardar is a great guy. I'm just an a-hole.

I mean all he ever did was a few home invasions, some robberies, a bunch of burglaries. Tried to kill a few cops, stab a couple of police dogs. Threaten to kill an innocent resident or 2 in the process.

You know, just minor shite.

I am completely blowing his indiscretions out of proportion.


He was a great player at LSU, so we should all overlook this

I'm not even going to get into the specifics as I know an awful lot just like you, but people can actually be remorseful in life you know. It's the ones that never are that scare the shite out of me. Did you know Ramsey has met quite a few victims and their family members? I doubt it.

No one said he didn't do some shitty stuff but he's not the animal you're portraying him to be.

The judge called him a "one man crime wave." A lot of BR residents were relieved when he was finally arrested and convicted.

Cant condone what he did after he left LSU. But at LSU he was a man!!!!!! He, Leonard Marshall and Bill Elko were probably the most physically dominant front line ever to play at LSU. I used to say if Michael Brooks had been two years older that defense may never have been scored on.

As far as the Orange Bowl I clearly remember the announcer repeatedly saying how dominant Remington had been all year and how he had never come out of a game with Nebraska up less than 3 touchdowns. Flash to the third quarter LSU leading and they pan to the Nebraska bench and show Remington sucking oxygen while the Nebraska offense is on the field and Ramsey is kicking his backup's arse. Back then there was no neutral zone and Ramsey used to line up within inches of the center and punish him. He made Remington his bitch that nite.

Might have not been such a great person but he was a great Tiger football player!

Did anyone see him on the Lockup special about Hunt Correctional? Interesting. Any memories of him playing?

---

Yes. He owned the All-American Dave Rimington in the '83 Orange Bowl. He also used to empty my trash can and dust my cubicle when he was an inmate at the State Police Barracks.

His life went downhill after that.

---

He was a semi-literate farmboy when he came to LSU, but went to St. Louis and got hooked on blow with all of his FB money. His young son was killed when he got away from his mother and ran out into the street while she was shopping for a car.

I remember this well.

It was classic! The great Outland Trophy winner was getting his arse handed to him and he was holding onto Dardar's jersey for dear life!

LSU should've won that game.

Agreed. I hate to always blame refs, but I remember a BS late hit out of bounds call that kept a late Nebraska drive going. The call was on Joiner maybe? The announcers agreed that it was a bad call.

Ole Ramsay got caught breaking into my neighbor's house on Arlington.
