I-59 Tiger

May be long so please exit if you are Team tl;dr. :lol:

Today began one of the craziest weeks in LSU sports which were about has LSU has it could be. The irony is this was about two and a half months after Sports Illustrated's "Crazy Days at LSU" which had Dale Brown on the cover. The story didn't acknowledge any of this mess.

First of all #14 LSU lost in Gainesville to Florida, 74-65. Not devastating in and of itself, but Florida was still one year away from their FIRST NCAA bid. LSU had beaten Florida 20 of the last 23 games. Still even though LSU was now 13-3 the three losses had come in the last 5 games --all three losses on the road.

LSU took the court that night without Nikita Wilson, the Tigers' captain and one of the top scorers and rebounders.In fact, Wilson would not play for the rest of the season.Buddy Seay, a Psychology professor and head of the LSU Athletic Council deemed Wilson ineligible after failing a Math class and denying Wilson's appeal. Wilson said he failed some tests because of travelling with the team to road games and LSU said he never mentioned any of that until he received his F.

In a press conference the next day Dale Brown responded like Dale Brown.Brown said "there is a Judas on the LSU staff" and how other students with failing grades had been given an incomplete."Some grades have been changed for International Students so they don't have to go back to Iran." He also alluded to the seemingly lethargic play by several Tigers in the Florida game . One of the reasons was an outbreak of Chicken Pox by members of the team. Before leaving for Gainesville , John Williams and Bernard Woodside had complained of a rash and were medicated. Upon returning they were determined to indeed have chicken pox. Only 4 players had had the chicken pox, starters Don Redden and Derrick Taylor and reserves Edwin Wilson and Neboisha Bukumirovich so there was obvious precaution with the remainder of the squad.

Dr Marty Broussard felt the team needed to postpone the upcoming game as well as an internist at OLOL. While sympathetic to a point, Auburn, LSU's upcoming opponent expected LSU to show up for that Saturday's game in Auburn. It was to be Auburn's first nationally televised basketball game at home. Heck,Auburn and various Alabama media suggested that LSU send the four healthy players and some intramural players. Who wouldn't find valor in Auburn winning 119-42 over an impromptu walkon team? Of course this was the same Auburn University that persuaded Kentucky to move their game from Saturday to Monday three weeks earlier as athletic staff and cheerleaders were still en route from the football team's Cotton Bowl and wouldn't make it back in time. Cheerleaders > healthy players. Kentucky obliged without question.

The SEC really just wound up letting LSU and Auburn work it out and the game was postponed a few weeks where LSU won, 63-61 in Auburn. Auburn did return the favor with a win in Baton Rouge at the end of the season.

you're talking about people who insist men can get pregnant. Frustrating,but these people are crazy.

Oh,by the way, this "judge's" office phone number is (702) 671-4350. I asked the lady who answered the phone that surely I misread and article about her boss. "Does Judge Bluth support baby killers?"

702-671-4350.

Sophomore year homecoming. Absolute beat down. This was in the era where Florida State was putting its program back together after hitting rock bottom in 1973 and 1974. Florida State agreed to many road games with no return several years in advance. This LSU game was the fifth game in a row that the Seminoles played a game on the road. At Nebraska, at Ohio State, at Notre Dame at PItt and then at LSU. They went 3-2 in those game but it really took a toll on them. Later in the year Southern Miss beat them at home, 58-14.

Sophomore in HS. Lol. I was 41.

The man is one of the best, level-headed posters on this board. Of all the people why call him out?

I thought you were better than this. You're sounding like that retard REBEL AC.

I don't get it? EVERY LSU fan? Explain.

Suburb we live in outside of Birmingham is really nice. Good schools, clean,safe. But if anything involves a shovel on behalf of the city it becomes a disaster.

There are two projects going on right now that seemed like 3-4 month projects max but are now over a year. One involves a 'pedestrian bridge' over US 31 that would connect the park with the swimming pool and the library. The "bridge" was set back in July after eons of promises (honestly IMO its a waste of time) over the road one weekend. What was supposed to be left was steps built to the bridge from either side. Okay, regardless of how long the project and been on the books it has 5 months.

The other one is trying to 'straighten out' a 1/2 mile -- at best road. Now, it was cut between some hills and as a creek at the bottom of the other side of the road. Project itself is legit as it is a busy road to get to the middle school and is a tad spooky at night.That one has been in work well over one year with no end in sight.

Kinda felt like I needed a little background before my question. The city of Vestavia Hills tries to absolve itself of any responsibility for the completion and ridiculous delays of the projects. They maintain these were grants from the state of Alabama and they have no say so in the matter.

I just find it hard to believe that if a city accepts grant money they have no say so in the construction and completion of a project. I would have thought they would have something to do with the contractors and getting the jobs done in a reasonable time. But,no, "there is nothing we can do. Our hands are tied."

That just sounds lame and that they do have some culpability. Are they correct?

So how would you respond if change you expected to receive was slammed on the counter in front of you?

So you agree with Gravy that since the black man was 'disrespected' violence is the answer? You really are fragile.
