To be fair, having a bear AND a shark AND a Rebel as a mascot is ridiculous also. There’s really no mother******* reason for that either. And the shark fin on the head sign is really dumb.

If SEC had a tie in with the Reliant Energy Bowl again and LSU came it would be sold out twice over. Plenty LSU baws in the 318.
That’s right, Archi and Lane are very different kind of people. Archie Manning just comes off as a narcissistic jerk. Lane appears to be much nicer.
I am not for paying players unless it’s the same for all student athletes men and women at your school. If someone does extra duties they can be paid a bit more - like if they organize practice etc. Won’t need any NIL $ and ticket prices can drop to a reasonable level. Coaches salaries would decline as well.

Never gonna happen.
Five years ago my wife asked who he was and I said he’s a real jerk of a guy and coach. Why, she asked. So I told her some of the shenanigans with coaching changes and trash talking. Two years ago I mentioned I liked him now and he seemed to have changed. Still had a bit of a troll in him but not hurtful. And I respected what he did at Ole Miss even though I completely HATE GTHOM. I had no idea he would be our coach but he proved himself at a smaller school so why not move up to the big time? He was my second choice this year after St Nick.
Why would anyone outside of LSU celebrate a new coach for LSU? I know I’m not celebrating any other team’s coach.

Thanks for the intel!
Quote - - It will also mark the first time in CFB history that a school will make a HC the highest paid coach in the country and the coach has never won or even made it to a championship conference game or the playoffs.

Nick Saban says hello when we hired him from Mich St.
If that happens it is validation how powerful it is to be coach for LSU.
I say if he signs a contract to be LSU’s coach then let him coach the playoffs if Ole Miss gets in. That way, if the unthinkable happens and Ole Miss lucks into a championship, it will be LSU’s coach that got them there and we can claim the national championship as well. Add another flag, baws!
Dunno about the burgers but a buddy and I split a Philly cheese fries and they were excellent with no digestive issues. So there’s that.
Mike Denbrick is the only man who wanted Mike Denbrock to leave.

Why go to Tulare from UAB. That’s a step down.
It insults me, it’s predictable. And yet, still I watch and hope. I’m an idiot.
Relax folks. Berge is a placeholder until the new coach is hired. The coach will get whatever AD he wants - no doubt very qualified or he wouldn’t be in the running for AD at a major university’s sports department.

Saw Herb Alpert this summer in Dallas at one of his tour stops. Easily 10k people in the packed hall. He played and sounded as good as ever. He didn’t do it for the money. Nine Grammy awards, 75 million in record sales. So why at 92 did the trumpet player worth 850 million come out of retirement and go on tour? Because he loves to play for people who want to hear his music. Heard it from his own mouth.

So quit projecting your goals, values, and motivations on a 74 year old man who is still in good health. I’m not saying he is coming but it wouldn’t surprise me.
I can only hope there is a change. First game I ever went to was as a freshman in 1976. Was not a Tiger fan but I was after the game. Tied #1 Nebraska 6-6 (and should’ve won). It was so amazingly loud and raucous the whole game. Been season ticket holder for 35 plus years and my kids were raised in Tiger Stadium. It has a special place in my heart. But truthfully the racket of the gangsta rap and not letting the band play and the incessant offensive chants and rude behavior of the fans has really killed the family atmosphere we used to enjoy. Now my 3 and 5 year old grandkids ask what does it mean to suck a Tiger’s di**. I get it in the student section - it’s always been irreverent. But keep that trash and foul language (to say nothing of the lyrics of those songs sung by the white thug wannabes around me) in the student section only. I have had as many as 12 season tix and brought hundreds of guests and Tiger fan concerts to the stadium but I’m just about done. Tailgating is pathetic compared to what it used to be. Sigh. I know I’m getting old but subjectively it’s just bad. I guess I’m gonna have to try to get an appt with the new AD at some point if I’m ever gonna set foot in the stadium. Might have to buy visitor’s section tix or just go to away games to experience decency and family atmosphere again. Painful actually write this.
