You can have a lot of penalties and win a national championship

How you boys? (and girls?)
For fun, I wrote this piece this morning while drinking Community Coffee from a Cafe du Monde mug in the Pacific Northwest, and it reminded me of fun times with y'all (yes, I still use that word).
The early kickoff (9 a.m. for me) Saturday gave me a rare chance to wa...
re: Dandy Don passed away Saturday morning. RIP!

A gentleman and a model of steady, measured consistency, day after day after day. A lot of respect for him in many areas -- and sad to hear of his passing.

re: how do you pronounce alex box
Posted by Carl Dubois on 4/15/12 at 8:03 pm
Yes, but that quote comes from a nephew who never met his more famous uncle, who died before he was born. The brother who grew up with Alex Box said "Elec" as many times as he said "Alex" in the interviews I did with him.
You can find supporting evidence in the family for any of three pronunciati...

I was just talking about this last week with someone in Oregon who graduated from LSU, and he sent me the link to this thread. Small world. Here is a section of a much longer piece I did in 2008 for The Advocate. I'm sure the full version is available in the paper's online archives for anyone who ca...

I've seen a lot of inaccuracies about myself and others in the media on this site (and others), and I can't set the record straight on all of them, but I'd like to about this. I was not on Jimmy Ott's show the day after...

The first picture was taken after a drive of 2,700 miles. The second was taken after rediscovering the Rant.
Hope all my friends (and old adversaries) are doing well. I miss ... some of you!
Laissez les bons temps rouler. :cheers:...
Sam Box, 93, brother of Alex Box, passes away

Thought LSU fans would want to know.

In winter 1987, I covered a game in Lake Charles between Gulfport High School and Washington-Marion in the Popeyes Classic. This was, I think, the first year of the 3-point line in high schools. Maybe the second. Washington-Marion was reigning 3A state champion, having defeated the St. Thomas More t...
re: Dandy Don questions his longevity
Posted by Carl Dubois on 12/18/10 at 4:49 am
I would encourage everyone who's ever looked at his site to send Don words of support during this very different (for him) holiday season. He was always a gentleman to me, kind and courteous, cut from a different cloth than many of the shouters making so much noise and saying nothing. Don loves LSU,...

Was always a fan of the bump-and-run, and never understood why anyone wanted it to be against the rules.

Just my way of saying hello on a rainy Sunday in the Pacific Northwest and that I'm paying attention -- and enjoying watching from afar. Hello, old friend...

[quote][i]Maybe that's all Miles thinks they need. It's worked for many championship teams: Play strong defense, have a solid kicking game, and don't beat yourself on offense.
This team has too many weapons to have to settle for that. The Tigers can open things up with Lee if they take a chance a...
re: I'll miss Carl Dublog's baseball coverage.
Posted by Carl Dubois on 8/6/10 at 9:25 am
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. As for the reference to Randy earlier, he's a workhorse and as dogged and determined as anyone I know. I can't imagine he's ever missed anything or failed to provide the most thorough coverage possible. He'll be a tough act to follow if he ever leaves.

I thought some of you might enjoy reading an MLB.com story about the green tradition, linked on my blog [link=(http://www.tigerrag.com/?p=22521)]HERE[/link].
Hope to see some of you in green tonight at the Box.

Yesterday I accepted the job of associate editor of Tiger Rag. I start Monday.
It's been only a few months since I started here with a "Hello (again)" post and a series of pieces on what proved to be a national championship baseball team. It's been a blast. Chicken has been great to me in a time ...

Tulane vs. LSU: First ... and last?
Posted by Carl Dubois on 10/30/09 at 12:08 am
[i]LSU and Tulane will play football against each other for the 98th time Saturday. LSU's game notes say the Tigers lead the series 68-22-7. Tulane's game notes say it's 66-24-7.
At least they agree about who won 88 of the 90 games that had a winner.
The first game between the schools was the ...
