re: Tournament of Roses Parade in game thread
Posted by Gerry Laval on 1/1/26 at 8:16 pm to Tarps99
An “I didn’t make the dance team in high school so let me try it now at 53 so I can jiggle my jigglies” adult woman dance team from the Northshore was in the parade in London. Anybody know the story on this? I did not catch their name.
re: I rewatched the first 3 Terminator movies

I saw T2 at the movies with friends in the summer of 91. I was 11. I had never seen T1 at the time-it came out when I was 4. I agree with the OP that T1 is the best, but I still really like T2. I do not like any of the others.
I decided to rewatch the first two movies with my kids. They were the edited for tv versions of course. I explained to my kids that T2 was the biggest summer hit that summer and one of the world’s most popular bands at the time was Guns N’ Roses, who had a major hit song in the movie (this was right before Nirvana and Pearl Jam supplanted GNR if I remember correctly). In any event, in the scene at the mall when Arnold takes out his gun, he had been hiding it in a box of roses and my 5 year old son yells out “Hey guns and roses!”. I’m in my mid 40s and have seen the movie at least 10 times and I’ve never picked up on that hidden message! Sometimes it takes a child.

Clemson game this year. Nuss should have come out looking more like Burrow (not saying same level, but closer to) and instead he came out looking like Jordan Jefferson. I could tell something didn’t click in the offseason. We were lucky to win the game and I’m glad we did but I predicted 8-4 or 9-3.

re: Can someone explain LSU Baseball early season non-conference scheduling to me?
Posted by Gerry Laval on 12/28/25 at 6:29 pm to ProjectP2294
I think some have missed my point. I never said there weren’t guys in the major leagues from small schools. I also never said we should not play easy teams in the beginning of the season.
I’m just wondering why Sac State and Milwaukee over, say, Arkansas State and North Texas?

Can someone explain LSU Baseball early season non-conference scheduling to me?
Posted by Gerry Laval on 12/28/25 at 4:40 pm
When I was at LSU in the mid to late 90s, the Tiger Baseball team went on early season road trips to Long Beach State and Arizona State. I get why we don’t do that anymore (concession sales), but I think we also hosted Cal State Fullerton one year.
I also understand you want to get northern teams down here in February and early March. But it seems like in recent years we have been scheduling schools I did not even know were schools/never heard of.
To be clear, I’m totally cool with the weekend in Jacksonville. I’m even cool with the Dartmouth and Northeastern weekend. But Milwaukee? Did you even know there was a Univ of Milwaukee? Why not just play the Univ of Wisconsin? And Sacramento State? Come on, seriously?
Does anyone know the thought process behind this?

I read it earlier this year. I did not like it but will give it a second read in a few years from now. Will try to read maybe two of his other books first. For movies, I loved No Country but did not care for The Road. I will say, for me, this book wins my award for “biggest letdown” based on the way it was pumped up.

Every topic like this, concerning the downfall of LSU, can be traced back to JBE. Your governor for 8 years, he did everything he could to hurt lsu.

I refuse to drink Dasani bottled water. Go to a hot event (lsu football in sept or lsu baseball in June) and take an ice cold Dasani out of an ice chest to hydrate, chug it, and tell me you are not more thirsty after you drink it than before?
Take a Dasani bottle and 3 other bottled water brands and compare the ingredients. The ingredients are the same except Dasani puts some sort of salt/sodium in their water that none of the others do.
The very fact that Dasani is still in business is an insult to my intelligence!

re: What was your first ever topic on Tigerdroppings?
Posted by Gerry Laval on 12/22/25 at 6:54 pm to lepdagod
It involved future scheduling. College football is by far my favorite sport but nothing bothers me more than inequity in non conference scheduling, teams of lsu caliber playing Junior high schools like Towson and Sam Houston state, and, of course, the absolute scourge of non conference scheduling-the neutral site game.

Busey’s best line in a movie has actually not spoken words. It was in Point Break when the half naked girl answers the door and he looks right at her body and just makes this snort/smile/pleasure sound. Very awkward and very Busey

re: What’s your favorite out of conference road football game experience?
Posted by Gerry Laval on 12/16/25 at 7:15 pm to austintexastiger
Been to 75% of the SEC schools with my favorite being Athens.
I don’t do neutral site games. Lame idea.
Out of conference, been to Notre Dame, Arizona State, Washington, and Texas 2019. My favorite was actually Arizona State. Lots of pretty ladies, good weather and scenery, I loved Sun Devil Stadium and at the time it was a great respite from Katrina. I would say my #2 was Washington. The people were really nice and I enjoyed hiking in Mt. Rainer Park the day before gameday,

Taco Bell and Papa John’s in the 90s

As a teen and early 20s in the 90s, these two places were magical. I dint really like either anymore. Mid 40s now.
Is is just that I’m old or has the taste and quality just gone down that much?
