re: Money matters / Prestige matters / Championships matter - LSU is an important job

Yes, but even Saban himself cited NIL, etc. when retiring. It's a different era now.
In addition, LSU now owes $54M to a single coach and is getting sued for trying to get out of paying that, and any coaching candidates would understandably be hesitant to believe that LSU can be taken at its word and would be able to redirect any remaining booster money to that new coach's salary and NIL instead.

Well, he had failed runs with the Raiders, Tennessee, and USC, was accused of “self-report” style NCAA violations at Tennessee, had the off-field “Joe Freshwater” drama attributed to him, was fired mid-season at Oakland, USC, and Alabama…is that enough? Should I keep going?

Didn’t Orgeron say that when he was made interim head coach that he decided to remove the coordinator, promote someone in his place (Ensminger), and brough someone back into the program mid-season (Jenkins)?

I'm guessing that you haven't been to any LSU home games recently. The band can't be bothered to play almost any song at this point if there is a stoppage of play. Back in the old days, they played a countless number of songs during commercial breaks, etc. Now it is all piped in rap music. :spank:

I think that they march to that same exact "Yogi-Bear-is-smarter-than-the-average-bear" song each and every game, and year. Should have the marching routine to that song absolutely perfect after all of those performances of it by now... :dunno:

I really don’t remember much about him being on MNF.
It was claimed that he was mainly just cracking preplanned jokes about the proper way to pronounce players' last names and that he couldn't generate one-liners on the spot to describe a play that had just happened. I liked him a lot though and wish that the network had just shaken off the haters and kept him. :usa:

It all goes back to the Civil War. The Battle of Baton Rouge led to the destruction of the city, and there are very few nice-looking, old-time buildings remaining to frolic in. The Battle of Vicksburg, on the other hand, was more of a "siege" than a "battle," with lots of action going on outside of the city.
re: What era was peak Tiger Stadium?
Posted by TheDude321 on 6/27/25 at 11:28 am to reauxl tigers
I'll probably get downvoted, but the answer is the early 1990s. Wins were fewer back then, so the fans just went absolutely nuts when a rare good play did finally did occur. When the winning picked back up again around the mid-1990s, that fan fervor remained but occurred much more often with more big plays to cheer for.
Also, LSU fans usually just showed up in regular street clothes but by the mid-1990s exclusively only wore purple and gold to games.
Tailgating was well known before the early 1990s, but with all of the losing during that era tailgating became much more of a focal point, even to the extent that it was more climactic than the game itself, becoming legendary in the process.

Texas poached their head coach.
Now, I'm not an Aggie defender by any means, but the SEC really needs to put a stop to this kind of stuff. The SEC teams used to have a gentlemen's agreement that you don't take other teams' coaches. Once A&M and Missouri joined the conference, they brought that bush league garbage from the Big XII and started going all-out on that kind of stuff here. It seemed to be tapering off finally, but now Texas has joined the conference and brought it back. :spank:

There's no such thing as a big 3 sports.
To be fair, the 3 sports that he mentions are also the ones known to generate revenue at some schools, which kind of sets them apart from all the rest of the other sports, which lose money. In fact, women's basketball should probably now be included as one of the sports by him too, since it has been claimed that some profiting has been generated recently in that sport as well. :spank:

You're joking, but your point is well-taken. It is interesting that 6 of the 7 "bottom" teams on this particular list are the only 6 expansion teams in the league's history. I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from that are, but it must mean something.
