For keeping me in the know for LSU sports of interest. Man they really align with a cup of coffee after wakeup.

Dude I remember reading Dandy on dial up in high school in the late 90s, took forever for the page to load. Then I got to LSU and they had this magical shite called the “Ethernet” in Herget Hall… after class every morning (2000) I couldn’t wait to read Dandydon because that was pretty much the only LSU site I knew. I got Tiger Rag delivered still at that time, but Dandy was the cat’s pajamas to me. Don Long would respond promptly to messages too. RIP.

Don was a legend. Scott has done a good job but you have to remember those purple glasses are very dark.

He will never rip LSU or say anything negative and I believe has a 7 year streak of picking LSU to win every game


As long as you know that he is a good read. I’ve heard that guy makes a shite ton on donations.

I have a longer streak than Scott (I’m older).

Same here. Use to fill out the question area and Don would answer every time.
Don was the most positive LSU fan ever.

Same. The Reveille sports editor didn’t hire me to be a columnist circa 2004 because I talked shite in an interview about how they always picked against LSU haha.

LSU showed a lot of class honoring Dandy at a baseball game before he passed.

I am an avid DD reader. I enjoy getting my daily condensed dose of LSU sporting new to start my day. I remember thinking it would be over when Don passed away. Man was I wrong. It still is a great go to site for Tiger fans.

Dandy Don Long is buried about 30 feet away from my folks. Everytime I drop by the cemetery, I always walk over and pay my respects to him as well.

Yall got me feeling sentimental. I would read his site every morning until he died. Then for some reason I just stopped. I guess I thought the site would fold.

Going to check it out today and add it back to my regular toilet reading time.

RIP Dandy Don. We loved you.

I hope Scott reads this thread.

Scott, you’ve been an awesome son and I know your dad would be proud of what you nudged him to do, and what you continue to do after being handed the torch.

Yes, we all love reading your site while on the shitter. There’s a hidden compliment in there. You produce very important content for all of us. It’s the best location to focus on things without interruption. It’s our fuel for the day.

RIP Dandy.

Scott is very good. There hasn't been any drop off. His dad would be proud of him!

I start my day with dandydon.com every day!
