who or what is "Stanka?"

that change in 1971 was under a 'gentlemen's agreement' with the SEC for the two teams to wear contrasting jerseys ---- because so many people had black and white TVs :confused:, which would have made more sense in the mid to late 1960's but with more and more people getting color making this rule effective in 1971 was really weird. But it was for all conference games, not just tv ones.

Tennessee was as much about wearing 'orange jerseys' home and away as LSU was about wearing white jerseys home and away. Tennessee and Auburn in that time frame was almost as big as Tenn-Ala or Aub-Ala. For the 1972 Tennessee-Auburn game at Legion Field in Birmingham the Vols felt Auburn had surpassed their alloted number of games to scout in person and chose to wear Orange that year. Unranked Auburn upset #4 Tennessee, 10-6.

Idaho ???? California,Oregon,Washington I can see. But Idaho? That's disturbing. :confused:

What on Earth does this have to do with anything their 1995 team accomplished?

Early leader in the clubhouse for 2028 DNC Keynote speaker.

On the flipside I'm really surprised (in a good way)how aggressively Masssachusetts is going after Clancy. After last Monday's Abortion 365/24/7 law/bill I was concerned the state would make her a hero.

Oh, my goodness! That's terrible. He lived fairly close to me and I remember joining him at Waffle House every now and then and talking basketball.

Sad.

Do they just try to be the most annoying league in the universe?

The 'new era' Democrats just gave the RNC a layup this week and hopefully they (RNC) will use it to their advantage with commercials,ads,etc. Just this week alone Massachusetts passed an abortion bill with zero restrictions or time frame even. And this was done to euphoric applause from demented supporters as the Governor signed the bill. And now the "pet" sport, WNBA has a disaster on its hands with white stars being villified for being white and straight. And now with former NBA players claiming to be trannies and wanting to play the WNBA can't come to an agreement on what a woman is.

And if that isn't enough Muslims are being elected and hailed as heroes ...all as the 25th anniversary of 9/11 is around the corner.

Surely the RNC will showcase their opponent constantly shooting themselves in the foot.

Susan Olsen, her real name. Every Friday night on ABC at 7 from 2nd through 6th grade I never missed The Brady Bunch. :lol:

What the man did was simply amazing. His first year,1984, was my SR year at LSU. No offense to the prior coach as he had virtually no backing from the school, but in 1983 or 1982 it wasn't unusal to see as many SE La, Nichols fans at the Box as LSU fans. Just zero buzz on campus for LSU baseball.

He almost got LSU in the SEC Tournament his first year (still had a 4 team format at that time) , then made the CWS in 1986--which no one ever thought would happen, and you know the rest.

But at that same time football and basketball were still king and baseball became 'popular' but still nothing like you see now. Then in the late 1980s LSU football began to struggle and generally produced some poor teams before ending a six year streak of losing seasons in 1995. Basketball, after four Elite 8s and two Final Fours from 1980-1987 began to disappoint. Support hadn't waned but even with amazing talent the team sputtered and disapponted. Basketball soon fell apart in 1994.

LSU baseball just took over the SEC and NCAA in baseball. Because of LSU's domination and CWS titles and other CWS appearances "LSU Baseball" distanced itself from college baseball being called a "niche sport." Throughout the 1990s when football and basketball provide some good moments but generally disappointment, LSU baseball became a source of pride. Even our SEC brethren when discussing LSU's football and basketball woes had to concede LSU baseball was a monster.

Thanks for all you did for LSU,Coach. :bow: :geauxtigers:
