Redfish, he spent 11 years overseeing the Cox Center for student athletes before moving to Michigan last year.

Not sure Byrdy, no details were forthcoming.

He was quite the character and a super nice guy. Very sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

I hate that I have to be excited about a QB that can accurately and deftly throw a short pass.
I hate that I have to be excited about a QB that can stay in the pocket and step up when necessary, instead of immediately sprinting outside, making bad throws and making his offensive line completely ineffective.
I hate that I have to be excited about a QB that can read more than one deep in his progression.

I hate all those things, but I'm at least somewhat hopeful going forward; that is until BH trots out as our starting QB on Saturday...then all hope will crumble.
Great numbers, lotsa work there. Before they mean anything, I need to see those stats compared to other SEC West coaches, SEC coaches, and national coaches. And don't give me the "talent isn't equal" speech, because that is a subjective measure. I'm not arguing the point being made, but without the other numbers, this is largely meaningless.
It's the only time Tom Ritter's crack officiating crew was available...
He routinely missed his short pass attempts, never looked off primary receivers (even when multiple receivers were present and open), and made some poor decisions in option situations.

Nothing against Jennings, I'm just pointing out the fallacies in the argument presented.
Yeah, I just got notified of my club level seats as well. I was initially in sticker shock due to location, but after seeing the amenities (extra leg room, televisions, as well as those mentioned above), I'm quite happy to pay the $135 per.

Great food all around. Must try Pok Pok (Whiskey Soda Lounge). The wings are incredible.

Obviously the big name breweries, but there are some good local flavors, too. Hit Apex or Green Dragon to get a good cross-section of local beer on tap (Apex is awesome, but bring cash).

If you head up the river to Hood River, go to Double Mountain Brewery. Great beer and fantastic pizza.

So many good places to try, Portland is a beer/foodie mecha. One of the few places in the country that can hang with south Louisiana for food, and they kill us in beer.

Would have been nice to see Great Raft out of Shreveport down here too. Maybe another distribution issue. Perhaps Crooked Letter and Great Raft will both make it next year. Getting better all the time. (yes, more bathrooms please!)

Can get more than 25 commits, can only sign a limited number. Commits does not = signees (unfortunately).

This!

I don't think Miles wanted to put JJ in as early as he did, but from a purely logical standpoint, it made sense. If you have a big, physical running QB as your backup, why would you risk injury to your starter in that situation...

re: High-stepping into the end-zone

Oh, I agree that it is a stupid penalty and I'm glad that I have not seen it enforced to date. Just making sure I wasn't trying to make a reality out of one of my lucid dreams :lol:

High-stepping into the end-zone

Posted by TheMungBard on 9/26/11 at 10:14 am
Isn't that supposed to be a penalty this year? I know it is nit-picking at this point, but when WV scored (I think the first touchdown), their receiver started high-stepping on the 2 yard line. I thought that beginning this year, that was a dead ball penalty at the spot of the foul, then -15 yards. Did anyone else notice this? Maybe I'm just confused, certainly wouldn't be the first time.

women trainers for a college football team = not a good idea


Really? Shelly is one of the most respected trainers in college athletics. Not just in football mind you, in all of college athletics. You laugh at her rubbing down a players leg muscles after a great play, but you don't mention her out on the field supporting Craig Loston's head during the scary moments after the hard hit when we didn't know if he was seriously injured or worse. You don't mention the long hours that she (and the other training staff) spends away from her family and friends to ensure that the boys we root for so ardently are ready to play physically and emotionally.

I have the pleasure of knowing all three of our head trainers and I can say with all honesty that I cannot imagine a group of more professional, competent and dedicated people. Sure, the angle on the video was cause for a snicker, but to come on here and belittle the job that our training staff does by stating having women trainers is a bad idea shows a complete lack of respect and knowledge. Go ahead and laugh at the video, but please keep in mind that the person you are watching, and the rest of the staff along with her, are outstanding at their jobs and LSU Football is only in a position of national prominence because of the hard work and dedication of the many support staff working behind the scenes to keep our team in shape.

:geauxtigers:
You guys are idiots if you keep contributing our offensive mediocrity to Crowton without acknowledging the fact that Miles has his fingers so deep in the offensive play-calling that Crowton really doesn't have the option to run it as he wants. Add that to the under-talented (I love the guys, but facts are facts) QBs that we have, the injuries to our offensive line and I'm down right ecstatic with how this season turned out.

To put it simply, to hell with you bunch of whiny little bitches. If you don't want to support the Tigers (or worse yet, if you think that this nay-saying gibberish you keep spouting off IS showing support), we are all better off without you. Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

I wonder how this will affect their recruiting. They are currently at the top of the board, but could some of those commits slip now?

He was definitely talking about TCU based on his other comments recently.

Hatcher screwed the pooch, but the zebras missed yet another hold on Nevis to allow that to develop. Drake was about to blow it up (again).

re: SEC refs tried to screw us again!

Posted by TheMungBard on 11/7/10 at 12:45 am
I would agree that the delay of game was the only real questionable (horrible) call. There were some missed calls, but that's true in every game and it happens on both sides of the ball, we just notice it more for our side.

The delay penalty needs to be reviewed by the conference officials and that needs to not ever happen again. Regardless, it was a great day in Death Valley!
