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: :gea...

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 pe...

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....

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:...

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 LS...

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

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

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. . Wi...

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:...
