re: 55 years ago tonight, Dec. 5, 1970

What a great memory! I was 13 years old. Dad invited a priest friend of the family over. I sat on the floor in front of the tv. My dad and the priest on the sofa behind me.
They had a few bourbons and we all got cranked up as the Tigers poured it on in every phase of the game. The priest was grinding his fist into the sofa “crush ‘em! Grind ‘em! Mash ‘em!” Many variations on that theme.
We had a great night.
All those names bring back great memories, but Estay was my favorite. I have a b/w photo of him tackling Pat Sullivan in our den.

Dropper,
Sounds like I have to turn up the heat and wear out my spoon. I’ll try to be bold next time and see if I can save some time.
Thanks

Goose,
That’s basically what I do. Medium heat on a gas stove. But I’ll crank it up for a few minutes, stirring the whole time. When it starts to smoke, I’ll turn the heat back down to medium. I want it very dark, so I’m stirring for over an hour.
Thanks.

Making roux
Posted by jrbjr on 12/5/25 at 7:43 pm
Probably been covered before but I’m coming to the board for advice. Like most people in LA I made turkey-andouille gumbo with our leftovers.
I’m traditional. I didn’t measure but heated about a half cup of vegetable oil in a cast iron pot. Added about a cup of flour over medium heat. Stirred for an hour and 15 minutes until it was dark chocolate color. Stirred in veggies and the roux got darker. Slowly incorporated stock (Better Than Bouillon is a great base). Added meat and simmered for a couple hours. Thick, dark and tasty.
My question is: Is there an easier or quicker way to make a good, dark roux? I’ve heard about oven and microwave but is it really as good as the old fashioned way?

re: How was the Piped in music/noise last night

I sit in the NEZ and it sounded the same to me. I hate that I can’t talk to the people next to me because it’s too loud. I hate that I feel the bass reverberating in my chest. I came to see a football game! I don’t want recorded music and a light show, whatever that is.
Mine is this- driving in a major city, pull up to the building- office, condo, hotel- and there’s always an available parking space by the front door.
I think the Vandy coach is doing a great job this year. But, is it like 2019 , when O caught lightning in a bottle with Burrow? I’d like to see if he can sustain a program without Pavia.
In 2019 we found a bar across West End Blvd from Vandy called The Local. It was packed with Tiger fans.

I’m afraid of that happening to my nephew.
I think it might be easier for him to rent a car for the day and park in the Hay Field.

My nephew and his family are coming in for the game Saturday. They are staying in NO and getting s ride to the game. We park in Lot 306. Too many people to ride with us.
Getting there is ok, but what’s the best way to get an Uber/Lyft post-game?Contraflow makes it difficult.

re: LSP releases video statement. They double down on Lacy guilty
Posted by jrbjr on 10/7/25 at 8:44 am to Hold That Tiger 10
I watched the whole video. The trooper’s body cam video talking to the witness about his statement looks very bad for LSO. He tells the witness what to write, implicating Lacy, but the witness says that he wasn’t the cause; that the driver behind him caused the accident.
Then the trooper’s body cam is turned off. The statement in the record says what the trooper wanted, and the witness refused to sign. That’s very suspicious to me.

re: Kelly says LSU had answers for Ole Miss' drop 8 scheme
Posted by jrbjr on 10/3/25 at 4:12 pm to Jack Crevalle
I’m trying to figure this out. Is he saying that we have plays to run against a 3-man front but didn’t call them?
If so, all he has to do is tell Sloan to use them. And if he doesn’t, then Sloan has to go. Kelly too, for not telling him.

I agree with the OP. Wear the traditional uni most of the time. I get that alternates are popular, but it was too much last year.
Personally, I really dislike the all white look. I also hate the Saints’ all white or all black. But that’s my personal taste.
I really like the baseball team’s Sunday uniforms. I’d like the football team to try a purple helmet, gold jersey, white pants look for an alternate uniform.

The suggestions given above are great. But they’ll be crowded. If you’re driving in from Harahan, consider taking the Bluebonnet exit from I-10 to Highland Rd. Lunch at either George’s Southside or Sammy’s will be good. George’s has one of the best muffulettas to be found.
Park on the Southeast quadrant of campus. There’s a map on the LSU Athletics. There’s free parking at Parker Coliseum but that fills pretty early. Anyway, we can get home to NOLA in 90 minutes post-game going Highland Rd to I-10.
Have a great day!

That is a great question to be able to discuss. Do y’all realize how lucky we are to even consider this? Go Tigers!

“Peterson’s interview with SVP was a struggle. It looked like Peterson’s dog died. He hated that he had to compliment LSU.”
Peterson paused before answering SVP but he said that it was “LSU being LSU.” I think that’s a great compliment.

re: Bama just beat TN 6-5 in baseball

C’mon! UT is good. Don’t put too much stock into 1 game. It’s a long season, and it’s not over until the last post-season game.
Bama is good, too.
We’ll win a lot of games, but 17 or 18 wins will be a good record in the SEC this season.
