It once mattered, didn't It? Academics were a consideration. Today, it's a big joke.

At 7:49 a.m., this is on your mind?
Appears LSU owns you.

Sports Information Directors usually write that nonsense for players. That's why the same tired phrases are written. Truth is, most athletes can spell "cat." Have you ever read their X or Instagram posts? Truly embarrassing to a university.

I don't care for the so-called Geaux font. It's plain.

Thumbs down.

He wasn't writing to you personally, either. Why did you respond with filthy language?

Gino's is the best Italian. Not even close.

Whaaaat!
No.

Until the 1980s, there were about two college football games on per Saturday. Almost never at night. A night game televised was like Christmas. That's it. Tickets were coveted because if you didn't get them for a 68,500 seat stadium you listened on radio. WWL out of New Orleans broadcast games east of the Mississippi River at night all the way to Maine. West of the Mississippi River, the signal faded around Texas, Arkansas, etc. LSU football was on TV twice per year, plus a bowl game, and there were maybe 12 of those. A big deal to go to a bowl. We became quite accustomed to the radio Voice of the Tigers, John Ferguson and Walter Hill. Everyone listened. New Years Day was huge because there were four to six games on that day alone, and it was alot like any common Saturday today...but it was once per year. When cable became common in the early 80s, there were four to five games on per day. And then more. And thus, we became spoiled. We survived. We listened. And Ferguson and Hill were very descriptive and colorful. Some of those games are on YouTube, and their voices take me back to a time when I was younger, parents were alive, and LSU football was our world.

Like, hell ya, totally bitchin, like, OMG! Ya! Fo reel! Sick!

Not true of the past, but definitelytrue today. Bowl games of 1960s through about 2000, held significant status. No one opted out. Great crowds. Big names. Losing records did not earn invitations to bowls. Fans watched. Today, there are simply too many bowl games played by many unworthy teams.
