Underrated LSU win was when the 2000 Men’s B-Ball team ran dunk lines against #1 Arizona in the PMAC.


I was at Fort Sill and invited one of my buddies, an AZ grad, over to watch the game. He had been talking shite about their basketball program for the previous four years that I served with him. Needless to say he left at halftime! Three years later we attended the LSU vz AZ game together in Tucson which he was hoping would be his revenge game. Now we have their baseball coach! He no longer talks shite about LSU athletics.

Gosh I’ve been to plenty

2003, 2007, 2011, and 2019 National Championships

2022 CBB Championship (largest championship comeback ever)

Brees all time TD game and passing yards game

NFC Championship sending the Saints to the Super Bowl


Random Bonus: Not me, but my wife’s college roommates dad was the director of video for Stanford and somehow she got tickets to the Auburn Alabama kick six game. We declined thinking it would be a bad game, and she sent us a video storming the field.

LSU got three plays off in the final seven seconds, the last one ending in a touchdown and the “One Second Blues”.

I was listening to the other end of the phone conversation when Gary Plauche Shot Jeff Doucet. That's right, he wasn't faking, he was actually talking to someone on the phone.

I didn't realize the impact at the time. Pretty interesting though.

Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing

Although I was 10 miles away, I felt the shock wave.

Also, when I got home from work, my neighbor, who was a postal inspector, was dressed in SWAT gear. They had evidence stored in the building, and he had to go stand guard over it.

Also knew a couple of people who were killed in it, and some firemen that were part of the recovery effort.

Stevie Ray Vaughn’s last concert.


I have a brother-in-law who was a drummer in a band in Dallas back in the 70s and 80s.

He claims they auditioned SRV to play guitar for them, and he blew everyone else away, but he was too young (16) so they couldn't hire him. I think he is full of shite. In fact, I know he is.

I do remember where I was when I found out he died. I was at work, sitting in my cubicle doing something on my computer, and the guy sitting next to me got off his phone and said "My wife just told me that SRV died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin." He was from Wisconsin. His wife heard about if from a family member.

When Robert Royal caught TD in 1st OT game in Tiger Stadium for the win over Tennessee in Saban’s 1st season - that many believed was watershed moment for football program.

Had A&M friend with me in student section (neither of us were students at the time). His 1st taste of TS was off the chain.

The resolution is incredible for the timeframe.

Late nighted at a random house in Nashville after a long bar night with about 10 people. 2 were Gary Clark Jr and Warren Haynes. Played a drinking game with them. Too nervous to ask their numbers but spent a couple hours getting to know them.
