re: Would you like if LSU added a decibel meter on the video board during big moment in games?

But I do wish they would bring them back on the video screens. Sometimes the crowd just needs a little urging. Some actual interaction w fans and stadium.

Just flash this at certain times.

re: SEC Football Ranked by Percentage of In-State Roster

This is the first time in decades, that the LSU roster is less than 50% of Louisiana kids.


Yeah wasn't Saban's love of LSU and Louisiana was that LA had more kids per capita in NFL than any other state?

Surprised LSU is this low on the list.

damn fine gun!!!

Plan B = But if you don't want that then like you said, anything in AR platform suppressed. The stock can be moved with ease for smaller person and he can grow into. Any size that you think he can handle that the recoil won't hurt or scare him.

Plan C = a lever action 30-30 suppressed. Sweet little gun!

Getting to the point where why should they have to go to class and worry about school


This is true but the other side of this coin is the guys like the Matt Maucks who want to stay in school, dental school for example, or law school. Thats 4 years undergrad and 3-4 years post grad. At this point if someone truly wants to stay in school and get a decent degree, they should be allowed to still play football if they can handle it all.

re: No discussion on the hood takeover of LSU North gates?

none of the ghetto bullshite going on near LSU has anything to do with LSUs admissions standards. The fact that this culture exists at all, clearly does not give a frick about civilized society, and populates the area within walking distance of the north gate is the problem.

LSU could admit only valedictorians and this problem would be the same.

It’s a Baton Rouge problem not an LSU problem.


This right here! :bow: Although it is both their problems due to the fact that LSU sits next to the hood, and it would serve both LSU and BR well to get it under control.

re: Dale Brown...you think he gets all this praise that skip has been getting when he passes?

Posted by TopWaterTiger on 8/19/26 at 9:44 am to alterego55
Have we really come to the point in society that we would bash a former LSU coach at his death on a message board?

Death is a time to pay respects and celebrate a life lived, and then to move on. Not a time to stop and say what a jerk...

re: How much were top high school football recruits in the 1980s getting paid under the table?

Shaq said he had hardly any money when he went to LSU


I was a youngster attending LSU basketball camps in Shaq's days. He drove up to the PMAC in an old Ford Explorer. Didn't look new at the time.

But that old movie "Blue Chips" with Shaq and Penny and Nick Nolte probably had a lot of truths to the old days of doing it. Friends of the program would loan or gift a new car, tractor, etc. to the player or their family.

Agreed.

They did say they hope to open for Labor Day weekend.

And this is better than when the Feds controlled it....BUT

I have a hard time believing this...There have been only a handful of days that any boats have made it out of Cameron. Its been rough and windy most of the summer over here.

Ok....then why do we have a Ticket Exchange? Same thing.

Many posters on the OB would like a classified in that section for boats, atv, fishing gear, etc.

re: The difference between the Summer of ‘93 and ‘94. Which do you like better?

Posted by TopWaterTiger on 8/7/26 at 11:20 am to STigers
94 solely due to timing. 1993 was my freshman year of HS. 1994 I started driving and listening to more music at that time. :dude:

We didn't have any pandora/apple or online music, it was all radio or word of mouth and passing tapes/CD's around amongst friends. Good times.

re: Since 2020, Lane has maintained the #1 offense in the conference barring 2 years.

Posted by TopWaterTiger on 8/7/26 at 11:10 am to GrizzlyWintergreen
I think Offense will be top 3 in SEC.

I think Defense will be middle of the pack, but improved.

I worry about ST. We've been historically bad under BK, and that small difference and improvement can make or break you in a few games.

Hazing in the band, sports, military, at some jobs, etc...


I'm not defending hazing. I'm just saying there are frats that don't haze and there are non-frats that haze.


Exactly...you are going to experience some form of hazing at some point in life. Its all how you deal with it. LSU is hellbent to get rid of all frats at this point.

Frats ebb and flow. Its dependent on the class right above the pledges....if they got it bad, they generally tend to pass it on because they had to do it.

I'll pour one out for the old Lambda Chi brothers tonight in light of this thread. :lol: It was one of the better well rounded frats back in the day.

Based upon these rankings, if LSU were to start 4-0, they would be a lock to be top 4 or 5 by week 5. Playing #23 Clemson, #10 Ole Miss, and #8 Aggie. No one would even have close to the resume at the beginning of October


Agreed. Just win and these things sort themselves out
