Dude, always very creative and fun to read. I always felt like I was the first one to read them most of the time too.. (usually posted around 4 in the morning?)
Major props to you chicageaux! Any TD writing plans for the future?

Damn man, as I was reading that I started to get the same feeling I felt when they announced Miles was leaving last year on ESPN.

Best wishes

Well, isn't this a real bummer. Chi, normally I'd say we're not worthy but we're LSU. Therefore, we are worthy. Please pass the slop.

It will be missed. It was a part of my game week tradition as well. Tigerdroppings with no Trough during football season will be a little like Tiger Stadium with no Welcome To Death Valley sign. A piece will be missing.

The Sky fell. :(

Thanks for all your posts and great style. When did you get the movie contract? jk. I will miss the articles every week before gameday.

Hope the rest of your ventures are as successful as 'The Trough'

As I usually do, iwas gonna post something sarcastic. But this is sad. I have enjoyed it and will miss it my friend.

Guess I'll have to sneak by your tailgate next year to get a dose of your gayety.

That "4 in the morning" thing was part of the problem, considering I'm at work at 7. You were the first to read them - there were only about 12 people on at that time and Nasty was always there.

Not sure yet. I certainly won't rule that out.

I'm sure I'll have some crap to offer; don't know if it will be an actual Trough, but it might be a picture of an Alabama fan fellating a bear or something.

Please do stop by. Carolina, it's "gaiety," and we'll have plenty. We could always use your manliness to balance us and our Manilow.

That's alright. Frankly, I barely remember the encounter. She caught me well into a 2nd case of beer, so I'm normally not that "humpy" on table legs. But if you stop by the tailgate again, I'll hump yours.

Thanks for sharing the Trough with us. I always looked forward to reading it on Fridays.

Run out of Family Guy episodes to rip off? Just kidding. Sad to see it go.

I can't say as I blame you, this season has just been a total disappointment as most of the luster is off and the specialness gone from LSU football. Thanks for the memories, though.

Like many others, I am said to see it go. Reading The Trough - and laughing out loud at my desk - came to be one of those little steps in the process of transitioning to "Game Mode."

Geaux Tigers and many thanks for your hard, hilarious work!

Dude, say it ain't so! Chicageaux, it has been a great ride with the trough. It was something I always looked forward to sharing with the rest of the tiger fans in my office. Hope we get to enjoy some other form of your craziness that only your sick mind can come up with. Thanks again.
