Dale Brown is 1000 x more divisive than Skip.

Dale was actually known for visiting children's cancer wards, bringing his players to tiny rural rickety wooden churches to meet blind people, etc. Not saying that Skip didn't do charitable "humanitarian" things, but it was more in a general sense like speaking at a fundraising dinner. When Dale dies there are going to be actual individuals who show up at his funeral who had special needs, etc. and will say that they greatly appreciated him treating them like a king for one afternoon with the entire team including its future NBA players tagging along for the visit.

It's hard to find a single person with anything bad to say about Skip

As A.D., he started the Tradition Fund, which de facto hiked ticket prices by thousands of dollars overnight. He also did not try to stop Nick Saban or Pat Henry from leaving LSU. Saban would have been expensive to try to bribe into staying, but Henry could have easily been convinced that A&M supporters were lying to him when they tried to make it sound like their track program had a sold-out football stadium gameday atmosphere. While LSU's Bernie Moore Track Stadium and Carl Maddox Field House are not exactly "Death Valley," those were larger facilities than A&M had and came with a core of loyal supporters.

And only having your house destroyed once is rookie territory around here.

Yeah, the bulk of Skip's house went down in an electrical fire previously.

Good AI fake

I like the way that the Geaux font changes for the letter S between its use in "LSU" and in "SEC".

Daniels won the Heisman in '23 and Nussmeier was picked by some before last season to win it. If Nussmeier had stayed healthy, Kelly would still be here.

Was the ultimate "trap" game for LSU--played the week after the always-big Bama game and the week before the Tulane rivalry game. Perhaps not coincidentally, the game was moved to the "conference opener" slot a few years later, and LSU has subsequently taken it more seriously and gone 28-4-0 in the series since then... :lol:

Peter Cottontail just values his own privacy more than Santa does, baw. :spank:

You're grasping at straws with some of these links. If you're going to list all this stuff, then you might as well go all-out and list other things like NC State later hired Mike Archer as defensive coordinator, former NC State player and coach Ray Tanner hired Mainieri while being athletic director at South Carolina, etc...

the general population being able to rise up

Well, the general population isn't going "to rise up." Their government murdered 40,000 protesters in the weeks before the U.S. and Israel got involved. Those 40,000 were the most actively opposed to the government. At this point, the remaining people in Iran are either outright pro-government or "sheeple" who will not oppose anything that the government does. Game over.

Quit using that d*m escalator!

---

They used to have a nice, elongated ramp that went up there on the south end of the East Upper Deck. I head that they removed it to add the South Upper Deck, which seems odd because they had only built it like 15 years before. If true, then I have no idea how they don't violate fire code, because during an emergency evacuating all of those people on a single escalator and several sets of stairs would take an absolute eternity. It must also now have an incredibly long, sprawling line of people to get their tickets scanned and bags checked before the game starts.

He was also replaced by LSU's own Alvin "Al" Dark!
