re: Football game dress

Posted by TheBear60 on 4/7/26 at 5:59 pm to
Started LSU in '63.
Yes, except for the freshman ROTC game when we wore pajamas, we dressed in coat & tie.
Go look at the Billy Cannon punt return...look at the guy who runs out of the stands & down the sidelines...how is he dressed?
I'm the OP.
Thanks to all who replied...even the nasty posts!
FYI, we didn't dust...we added more salt...it's a chemical thing. Raised the seasoning leval, but not the "heat"...even the yankies from North Carolina liked them.
Thanks again.
LSU1SLU:
I come in peace & ask why you question the OP?

Not to put words in the OP's post, but I think he is saying we need to get baseball a greater percentage of the base $. Jay did great with the pre House $. It was a level playing field. Post House, i.e., the $20.5M), schools like Arkansas, USCe, State & maybe more are giving a greater % to baseball.

If you are saying that LSU should be a football, MBB & WBB "school", OK, that is your position. I think our history is we are a football & baseball school.

Do I understand your position?

Thanks
Please explain which one.
Thanks
Re msutiger & the A&M post above...BINGO!
I agree with most of you above - this is a message.
Can't understand the percent share where Jay has to get some part of 5% with track, gymnastics, etc. He sells out the Box & if they add more seats, expecially suites, he would sell those out too. I know there is only so much $ in the $20.5M pot, but I look at LSU as a football than baseball sports school.
Thanks for website. I usually agree with those who say never dust, but when you have a mixed gang of local's & family & wives who are not from here, how do you stop the bitching, even when we boil three or four pots. Seems good to try middle of the road for the yankees & add dust for the rest of us.

Crawfish Boil: Season the pot or dust?

Holy Saturday Boil. We have always seasoned the pot, but I hear lots of people now dusting the boiled crawfish.
What product do you guys who dust use?
Thanks
First, Jayden won the throphy...5 is retired if 9 & 20 is retired.
Set up a standard for retiring numbers, then set up a standard for the ring of honor. No emotions, a hard standard. And include a chance for the OL & defenders. Maybe establish a review board of guys already included in the ring...

I have said this beforec. I am 81. I sat in that stadium and saw Taylor, Cannon , Jones thru Borrow & Chase.
Casanova was the best.

504: Geaux Tigers!

Feel better 504?
It was a different era...but at 81 years old, so am I.
Simply saying that LSU has some high profile coaches at our four major sports. Also remember that gymnastics won it all last year.
Please accept my apologizes if I offended you.

When you were a kid, you dreamed of LSU having those 4...now, would you call the 4 we have a full house?
Only problem is that we may have to change our colors to black & black:)
NOLA.com said this recruit is 22 & played in a pro league in Australia. Guess this is a look at the future.
If they built more suite's, could they sell them & use that additional $ to improve sideline & bleacher seats?

re: 1908 national championship

Do you think we are Ole Miss?
Forget 1908...let's work on 2026.
OP: Tongue in cheek reply after reading you title: Sentence should have stopped after "greatest"
Has anyone seen anything on the early enrolled high school kids & which transfers will be on hand for spring practice? I assume most of the portal guys are already enrolled.
OP: I think we blew pass the % of $20M House $ a long time ago. Football, WBB & Jay have their dedicated House + "new" $ - they have earned it. MBB has to do the same w/new $.
Two things: 1. They rush the punter 80-90% of the times. 2. The odds of a blocked punt is probably better than a punt return for a TD.
