I showed up in January of my sophomore year in college with my family’s old 1975 Cadillac Sedan de Ville. Had a 500 cu in engine with a Weber 4 barrel carburetor. If we didn’t stuff 20 of us in that thing, it was dang close…

There was also mutual respect between the bands. The home band would bring refreshments to them in the third quarter. The band service fraternity would do it. I don’t know is any of that goes on today. People are a lot less respectful these days. It’s been 40 years

The amount of self centeredness among the youth of today is staggering.

Ouch

You know, I truly believe that booster meeting brain storming to come up with a way to raise all this cash by LSU was a shot across the bow to the SEC. And it damn near hit the ship!!

If Congress sees a way for them to not get involved, they will absolutely step back. The reasons many of the organizations that oppose the Bills are the restrictions of money. Imagine thinking you’re getting a $10M payday only to have Congress step in and only allow a max of $500K (I don’t know what the cap will be but point made).

They all better get onboard with Cruz’ Bill though. He’s offering partial Anti-trust exemption. Trust me. Congress RARELY offers that. If the opposing organizations don’t get onboard soon, look for that line in the Bill to get crossed out. I have no idea if Trump would even sign off on that. My guess is no, but stranger things have happened.

Sorry. Cassidy is the one I’m thinking of. My goof.

I get that. But pissing off Johnson and Kennedy may make this a bad play

Republicans are hot and heavy trying to replace (edit: was thinking of Cassidy), so striking now is the best time.

Both Texas and A&M are against the Bill that their own Senator filed (Cruz). They better be careful. It’s a fine line to be for or against something, but in the end, don’t piss off the ones in favor if the Bill happens to pass. Losing a seat at the table is far and away the worst thing to happen.

Edit: I had my Senators crossed up. Not Kennedy but Cassidy. :spank:

I was standing on the sidelines as Wllie Gault ran past me on a KO return for a touchdown against us. He was striding at 3/4 speed and pulling away from everybody.

I was just about to post, then you weren’t at the game where Willie Gault set the land speed record on a KO return against the Tigers in TS. :lol:

Dang it!!! Opened this thread to say this..

Awesome memory!!! Thanks for sharing.

So sad to hear about Bob. I always bought Champions Club tickets online behind the visitor's dugout if they were available. Not because I wanted to be there, but because that was the section where Pettit sat. It was awesome to sit near him.

Remember the Friday night game against Tennessee, Vitello's last season?? Some player kept grabbing foul balls (#24??) holding them until there was a break in the action when we were at bat and throwing them to the other side's bat girl area. Our on deck batter had to avoid being hit. Ump did nothing. About the third inning Pettit walked down the aisle and wore that kid's arse OUT!! Some guy further back hollered, "Hey boy, that was a 92 year old NBA champion who just wore your arse out!!!" Even Vitello laughed.

There was also the Friday night we played FL. First at bat, Tommy Tanks hits HR #1. Next at bat, HR #2. Next at bat, pitcher plunks Tommy right between the shoulder blades. Bob almost went through that net!!!! He had to be restrained (mildly) by the person with him. I was headed that way myself. No way I was letting our 92 year old champion get arrested by himself….

They never let the game breath, even during 3 minute TV timeouts

My wife and I watched the game on YouTube TV. No commercials. They left a panoramic camera on during timeouts. The entire game, during timeouts, the stadium lights would go out, lasers would flash, lights would flash. We couldn’t hear music but agreed it was likely playing.

My wife looked at me at one point and said, if we had gone, I would have left a long time ago. It looked oppressive.
