Got Blaze

Fox chase is a classic

wore this shite out in HS :dude:


Howdy folks, this is your old buddy Shorty Medlocke
I'd like to tell you about an old bunch of fox hounds I got
Ole Ring, and Ole Tige and Ole Rover
And when we start out across them Georgia hills a-huntin'
And them foxes sound something like this
Ooooh, ooh, ooh, git it sic em, catch it
Get em Ring, ooooh, ooh, ooh

I have no problem with this bump of an old thread. Hard to believe Billy passed away 4 yrs ago at the age of 55 RIP brother :wah:

Billy was a HUGE LSU fan and supporter. He traveled everywhere to watch the Tigers ... definitely missed

Maybe this will be a repeat of 9/5/2015 LSU vs. McNeese :dunno:

Only game ever canceled in Tiger Stadium

Dr. Andrew’s I think became popular starting with Bo Jackson.

sorry for so lengthy, but interesting facts about the LSU alumni, Dr. James Andrews.

Dr. James Andrews became known as "The Sports Medicine Doctor," and highly recommended after performing TJ surgery on Roger Clemons around 1985. Clemons returned to the mound, striking out 20 in 1 game and winning the Cy Young. Clemons recommended Andrews to other MLB players, confirming the doctor saved his career. Approximately 318 of Clemons 354 career Wins came after Dr. Andrews' surgery. Andrews and his orthopedic group likely performed over 3,000 TJ surgeries.

Here are a few famous athletes he did orthopedic surgery on and saved their careers: Roger Clemens, John Smoltz, Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Bo Jackson (shoulder and hip), Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Andy Petite, Peyton Manning, Bruce Smith, Charles Barkley, Yu Darvish, and hundreds of others. LSU related athletes - Paul Byrd, Brian Wilson x2, Derrius Guice x2, and Kevin McGlinchey.

Post Dr. Andrews' performed surgery, athletes returned to their respective sport, and signed contracts valued at over $2 Billion collectively. (It was either Sports Illustrated or ESPN the Magazine did an article on Dr. Andrews and reported the aforementioned numbers)

My brother played QB at Troy State (early 90's) and jacked up his throwing shoulder/rotator cuff. Dr. Andrews did the surgery, as everything was paid for by TSU.

I know a retired orthopedic surgeon who confirmed that Dr. Andrews was wild and crazy at LSU during his undergraduate years. Andrews cut up so much he almost got expelled from school because he was often in trouble. He was a pole vaulter on the Track team who won both indoor and outdoor SEC Championships. That pretty much saved his arse from serious discipline.

I grew up with the Pettit’s as Robert was in my HS graduating class. His bday was during Basketball season as Mr Bob would take a suburban full of kids to an LSU game every year. A lifetime of memories from swim meets, HS sports, sleep overs, spending weekends at New Orleans CC, too many to list. Such a humble man and gentle giant. RIP Mr Bob, a true Tiger Legend

First timer! We are heading to New Orleans for a long weekend in mid-September.

Got here on Thursday and have had a great weekend so far.

Hoops, thank you and your wife for coming to N.O., spending your hard-earned money while having a great time taking in what the city has to offer. :cheers: Impossible to do everything in 3 days, but at least you got a taste of it. As you likely found out, N.O. is very laid back and moves at a slower pace. People are friendly (compared to Northern cities) and want you to have a great time. Alcohol, food, and music are the primary "things to do" amongst the locals and visitors.

I shared your same desire to explore a new city 15 years ago. Reached out to my second cousins who live in the Chicago suburbs (Irving Woods, Schiller Woods, Western Dunning area) and have visited the Windy City ten different times to enjoy the food, music, and museum scene. If you ask the locals about WTD, places to visit/eat, and use common sense, you won't become a statistic and get shot in the South Side of Chicago or New Orleans East. Thank you again for visiting, and come back again during one of the cooler months. Both cities are very similar sharing common theme of great music and food.

Those news anchors in Lafayette don't make any money.

---

Lafayette and other small markets are merely a stepping stone for those wanting to get into the news media business for the long term. Get your degree, start out in Lafayette for 2 years, and then move on to a bigger market and better paying job at a different station.

Some even change careers to being a public spokesperson or public information officer. Few names the come to mind that moved on from Laf: Mike Steele & Lori Meaux Steele (KLKFY->WBRZ->Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office), Tracy Wirth (LPSB), Valeri Ponsetti (LPSO). David Begnaud made the big time working for CBS News

How did the Saints stop Derrick Henry?

---

as noted above, the Baltimore OC stopped Derrick Henry. Horrible play calling. In the 3Q: Henry had 4 carries for 15 yds. In the 4Q, 1 carry 2 yds. He needs 25 carries a game to wear out the defense, and bust a 40+ yd run. Crazy that his longest carry was 8 yds. He had 10 carries for 5 yds or less including a -2 yd carry.
