Very good special(with video) about Eric and the 86' team.
’I just miss him’ - LSU late great Andolsek still beloved nearly three decades later
Also will have a special on Friday, July 24 with player interviews.

For Flashback Friday on July 24, there will be a deep dive into “Crazy Days at LSU - The Arnsparger/Archer Circus of 1986.” WAFB-TV has conducted 15 interviews with former LSU players and coaches from the late 80s to tell great tales of those Tiger teams.

Thank you for the video. He was a tremendous football player for the Bayou Bengals. I'll never forget when he punched Cris Spielman at the coin flip. That 13-13 tie was a huge disappointment. LSU dominated the game, and some kind of way Ohio St. had a chance to win on a field goal at the buzzer. Some of my friends were so confident that LSU would blow them off the field. I can remember saying to them on the way to the game. "Guys, It's f------g Ohio St. They'll show up".

I live on a main highway with no shoulder on the road. I think about him everytime I have to weedeat my ditch and keep my head on a swivel.

His highlight video is unreal, there was a video that was shown at a memorial, I think, it is jaw dropping.

I use to imagine he was just a bully when he played at LSU until he made it to the NFL and would get right in Alonzo Spellman's face.
NOPE!...he was a legit tough guy.

Spielman spit in his face at the coin flip.

One of the best ever to suit up for the Tigers.

The “Gobot” was a bad man.

Ironically they later became great friends.

Does he still own any weightlifting records?

Elko and George atiyeh could bench with him and Leonard Marshall could squat with him . Clean and jerk he was second to no one . One bad dude on the field . Off the field an all around great guy . George and Elko were before Big E .

And they became best friends as teammates with the Lions. I remember seeing a news clip of the Andolsek funeral and Chris Spielman was standing outside the church just balling his eyes out. It was obvious that he had lost a really good friend.

Loved that fight!

He was freaking mean, like Conrad Dobler, only about 10 times stronger!

Anyone hear the story about him releasing an alligator into the weight room?!?!

No, but you can tell us.

Wish we had more human interest stories like this than the garbage which is sports reporting today. Andolsek and Spielman were mirror images of each other.
