So many extremes on here (from “set him free” to “euthanize him” to ”his living quarters are perfect and are the biggest of all tigers ever”)...and many of them imagined positions of someone on “the other side.” Y’all get into your political corners (and lash out at some enemy in an opposite corner)...

re: Jefferson’s touchdown jig

Posted by johnfredlsu on 11/21/19 at 9:09 pm
Pretty sure one of the Alabama receivers did the gritty too—trolling LSU—after one of their early touchdowns. Burned me up all game. And made the win even sweeter, if that’s possible....

[quote]TigerOnTheMountain: Yes, we’re so fragile in our whiteness.[/quote] That's a good first step. Acknowledge it. Otherwise you're going to keep feeling like [b]everything you hold dear[/b] (again, your words) is under attack. I, for one, have not pointed to any boogey men. I'm just saying,...
[quote]If only this documentary was simply about the institution of football. It’s almost like you didn’t watch.[/quote] I did watch. And you really just don't get it. Or, actually, I think you DO get it. There's no way to separate the institution of football from the institution of racism on som...
[quote]designed to make you feel a certain way[/quote] Not everyone is feeling the certain way you're feeling. Some of us are saying, (1) yeah, I never really knew that dimension of this story, and (2) maybe I should be more thoughtful about the contradictions that persist in this aspect of my li...

[quote]Georgia and Auburn both have much better bands than LSU. It wasn’t always this way. They’ve caught up to us and passed us since Wickes and Moorhouse left.[/quote] I haven't seen Georgia lately but when I went to the LSU / Auburn game two years ago, the Auburn band sounded and looked like T...
[quote]Pregame is not charted for 325. When you're at a home game, you'll see the alternates in the stands. If my memory is correct, pregame is written for 280 or 285. After preseason cuts were made and we had our 325 they would have another pregame cut to select who was in pregame for the season. ...

re: LSU should dump nike

While I think this thread is silly and unnecessary, I have to admit that I derived a lot of joy from: (1) downvoting a bunch of dumb posts (e.g., "a symbol that I idolize and drape myself in is MORE AMERICAN than civil protest and civic discourse"; "if you disagree with me and believe we should imp...

Wish you'd posted pics......
This thread didn’t age well......
Ugh. My first double post. :banghead:...
[quote]You don’t have enough Xs for track and field. Women’s track and field could be described as one of the most dominating sports in the history of the NCAA from the late 80s to the 2000s.[/quote] Read the post. And scroll up and reason previous posts. Would've taken less time than writing y...
Okay. I'll buy that. Two things: 1. Alleva could've gone out to get a better track coach, right? All that history and then *nothing*? 2. Let's look at the non-track national championships over time: For visual summary: 1930s: X (MBB) 1940s: XXXX (boxing, golf) 1950s: XX (foot...

[quote]LSU fell off with national titles once Alleva came on board. Just wanted to be close and not win was his motto. LSU has not won national titles in a decade. Good riddance Alleva [/quote] So true. Only 1 in 2015 (M Golf). [b]19[/b] in the 1990s [b]13 [/b]in the 2000s 1 in the 2010s ...
I'll agree! Maybe I was spoiled as an undergraduate during this time. A few more details though: - Football is king, and 2000s was most successful decade for sure. - 2000s was only decade with 3 Men's Basketball SEC championships. - Baseball went to CWS once every 2 years on average (5 out of...
[quote]College baseball, particularly SEC baseball, is much more competitive. You don't see teams go to the CWS year after year after year. [/quote] I see someone posted that you won't EVER hear Duke or Kentucky say this about basketball. And you won't hear Alabama say this about football. And ...
