Wasn’t this the game Faulk was suspended for the first half?
No, he had 3 fumbles in the first half, 2 inside LSU’s own 5 yard line that Houston scored TDs off of. He was the reason LSU fell 20 points down at halftime, lol.

Originally it was just the east and west lower sideline stands.
Then the north end zone was constructed giving a horseshoe look.
I think that you just skipped a step. Weren't the original east and west sideline stands expanded and extended upward when the Works Progress Administration funding for dormitory buildings was used on the backside of the stands?:spank:

designed the North Stadium and South Stadium
Why did the South Stadium have to be designed so differently from the rest of the entire stadium? Why couldn't they save money on the design and basically just "flip" the North Stadium blueprints to have the structures in both end zones match? Standards couldn't have changed all that much in 20 years.

Graves and Gordon will keep donating
Graves doesn't personally give all that much compared to most boosters. He went to Georgia, and that is where his loyalty primarily lies.
However, Raising Cane's is one of the more common advertisers at LSU sporting events, but then again regular advertising only goes so far in paying off a $54M bill.
As for McKernan, he only has a fraction of the money that Graves has, and neither can be expected to bankroll the bulk of the buyout. In fact, none of Louisiana's three billionaires went to LSU, so none of them will help with it. Hopefully someone else comes along.

LSU is in the SEC, which means that only a proven head coach who won at the Power 5 level should be hired...no risks are worth taking on unproven coordinators or even winning coaches from non-Power 5 schools. :spank:

in the last 25 years
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)?

Holoweiko needs to be fired if they waste this trip by bringing the Full Band and just sit there like Cypress Knees. Unacceptable.
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 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.
