1982 LSU played Highly ranked Fla. State team at night in tiger stadium. Bobby Bowden was 3-0 against LSU. Game was for berth in orange bowl. LSU pummeled Fla. State with field being covered with oranges thrown from stands followed by rushing the field. Excitement off the charts. :geauxtigers: :geauxtigers:

The Giants have rehabbed seemingly washed up pitchers and hitters this year. They brought in a number of analytically oriented young coaches this year. I personally thought the approach overrated. I have come to appreciate that coaching matters. Who knew? ?? :geauxtigers:

I live in SF Bay Area and friends with season tickets to Giants baseball asked me why there were so many people in LSU gear at game last night. What a great trip for some - get to see baseball game at height of pennant race in an iconic venue and then on to the Rose Bowl to watch the tigers. Some people planned very well and I hate the idea of the storm depriving others of the opportunity (not to mention the heartaches of the storm).

While Stuart Scott certainly popularized the phrase “cooler than the other side of the pillow”, he did not coin it. Wayne Walker, doing color for 49ers described Joe Montana as being “cooler than other side of pillow” in 1980 (Scott was ~ 15 then)

re: What are some notable baseball careers that started off HOF worthy only to derail badly.

There are some startling bad takes in this thread. Perhaps none worse than Lincecum. He is one of only two pitchers in MLB history to win multiple World Series Championships, win multiple Cy Young Awards, throw multiple no hitters and be elected to multiple All Star games. The other is Sandy Koufax. I suppose one could say that his career derailed after an injury 9 years later, but jeez, derailed badly?

The Chicago Bears of the late sixties must be considered. They had offensive and defensive MVP’s in Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus. Indeed, Butkus and Sayers are arguably the best ever at their positions.

Casanova was multi year all pro safety. However, he was not a safety at LSU. He was a three time all American CB, RB and returner. Honey Badger is a great choice at CB, but if he is number 1, Casanova is 1a. :cheers:

Mel Ott must be considered. 12 time MLB all star, led National League in HR’s 6 times. First in National League to 500 HR’s. In HOF. Power hitter who weighed 170 lbs.

Great post - many memories - one I haven’t seen mentioned:

December 5, 1970 LSU Ole Miss. Archie Manning had single handedly beaten us previous two years. LSU came into game with 1st SEC championship under McClendon and Orange Bowl invitation on the line. Casanova returned two punts for TD as LSU crushed Ole Miss 61-17. Before game ended field was pelted by oranges and students poured onto field. Absolutely electric.

re: Who is the best safety to play for LSU?

Posted by LSU - Mill Valley CA on 12/15/20 at 9:00 pm to Powerman

That is a most excellent list, all of whom I saw play. I perhaps would add Jerry Stovall and Johnny Robinson, each of whom played two ways at LSU and went on to become all pro safeties.

The only possible player I saw who might challenge is Tommy Casanova who was All Pro safety with Bengals. . With his speed and explosiveness, he is in discussion as best athlete to play at LSU. However, he was not a safety at LSU. He played CB and some half back and was a great returner. He was three time AA.

Therefore, I concur with others that Jamal Adams body of work thus far puts him an arguable smidge ahead of the other worthy members of your list. :cheers:

I think you mean Title IX rather than Title XI

Title IX violations are alleged that could bring Orgeron et al down. Interesting transposition though - Title XI has to do with bankruptcy law.

They may ultimately be related. :cheers:
