re: Pete Finney passed away this morning at the age of 88-

Posted by Lackamoola on 8/13/16 at 1:04 pm

In 1956 I was sitting in the Reveille office working on a story when Pete Finney, who was visiting the campus at the time, came up and asked if I had written a recently printed story. When I acknowledged having done so, he said he thought it was very informative and professionally done. Greatest com...

re: Pretty cool full day video from saturday

Posted by Lackamoola on 10/30/14 at 4:56 pm

Excellent presentation, but couldn’t help noticing many differences in the crowd now and back in 1954 when I attended the games, especially all the attractive, unattached coeds. Back then coeds did not attend the games unless they had a date. And they dressed for the occasion—no shorts or pants! Th...

re: Classics from the Old Timers on the Rant

At the beginning of the ’58 championship season, one could always buy tickets outside the stadium around game time. A friend and I sometimes just drove up to the game from N.O. on a whim and successfully bought tickets. The Tigers were undefeated on October 18th when they were to play Kentucky. At t...

re: Anybody for Russian cake?

Posted by Lackamoola on 3/4/13 at 12:55 am

In the days of corner bakeries, the baker would take pieces of unsold cakes and make Russian Cake by soaking them in cheap rum (or wine) and sugar, and molding them into a single cake. Pieces of the unbaked cake were then sold for a pittance, mostly to neighborhood kids (including me). This was a wa...
