Believe me Carl, I agree it's a ridiculous statement, but my point stands.

And no, I don't think I would take less either, but I'd feel a little funny cashing those huge checks twice a month while getting SHELLED regularly.

I wasn't there, but was listening to one of the best ever, John Ferguson call the game on 1150am WJBO. I was only 8 at the time!

Do you honestly believe that with the last 2 ADs LSU would be paying and signing the players we currently are? And that Wade, much less Kiffin would be here with WEAK LEADERSHIP in place?

If so, I'm guessing you have less life experience than the average LSU fan.

Also, this extends well past Verge's reach. We have people in place now that aren't flucking around, and are hellbent on making LSU a winner.

It's a refreshing change, and you're gonna enjoy it along with the rest of us whether you're able to recognize the difference between now and then or not.

All you said is still true. DESPITE the efforts of the pathetic green/orange haired minority that hate their lives and try to make everyone else just miserable as they are.

Without even having to look it up I remember the score: 66-7.

We also beat the mess out of Rice that year 77-0 when Carlos Carson went insane.

This is what I believe, and it's a huge advantage for us.

If we're close monetarily with these guys, most will pick us. Most of these recruits LOVE LSU, and it takes an overwhelming offer to pry them loose.

Think Colin Simmons who was allegedly on the phone CRYING with Frank Wilson because he wanted to play for us, but Texas just blew him away with their offer.

That was also when we had THAT fig in the AD's office who didn't want to pay a lot of these players big bucks. We have that problem corrected now.

I'm from Louisiana, and a lifetime LSU fan.

But I've also been Eagles/Phillies fan my whole life, and loved the 76ers until the NBA became unwatchable 20 years ago, also was a Flyers fan, but don't have the time for hockey anymore.

All that said, Nola now SUCKS. He's being paid $25 million a year, THROUGH 2030.

It's pro sports. When you don't perform, you catch the heat. ESPECIALLY in a market like Philly.

No, I WOULD NOT do this either, but if he had any sense of pride, he'd retire and stop taking the salary, or negotiate a lower amount due to him.

I'm 99.999999% sure the WORST play by play man in college basketball (and football for that matter) history (Hawthorne) was doing that game.

I still remember him hyperventilating at the end and during the post game show of that broadcast.

My memory from that long ago can be shaky, however.

I didn't even know they made the sweet 16, and I was and still am a big time college basketball fan.

The memory is fading I guess.
