For the same crime??! I missed that.

No, not the same crime of speeding. But when murder is included in those crimes....murder trumps speeding, don't you think? And the speeders at Georgia is not in one year. It is spread out over 4 years, so 4 different teams. 2008 was all from one team.

Auburn was never in the discussion and for good reason, USC and OU were clearly better teams from start to finish that year

This is a insane take. They certainly were in the discussion and apparently it is still being discussed today. We can never say certainly how a game would turn out, but we can say "we think", "We believe", "might have".

There have just been too many things to happen over the years to say Team "A" would definitely beat Team"B" with absolute certainty. But, as i said bove, I have thought Auburn would have won, and still believe it would have been a great game. USC should never have been in the game with what we know now, and Oklahoma would have been the better matchup for Auburn.

Great player! I don't know how many of the younger people remember this or have heard, but there were times after a particularly good shot he would run down the court waving his fingers back and forth as if they were guns. Soft folks today would get their feels hurt today. :lol:

I'm not a basketball fan, but it would be great if they could turn the program around. That money could be a big boost, provided it isn't squandered.

It's not irony, it's reciprocation and responding in kind. LSU fans approve of Kiffin's statements about Ole Miss and feel they have some type of elevated moral platform from which to look down on others in the SEC.

---

And when you do the exact same thing, you don't see that as looking down on others in the SEC?

I was informing them that they are hypocritical douche-bags whose brains don't work well and they lack knowledge of their own team's history of prejudice and exclusion and hatred.

---

But you don't think Alabama fans are hypocritical by pointing out stuff against LSU when your own school is guilty of similar?

I don't think you understand. I am not calling out Alabama, Ole Miss or LSU...I am calling out all of the schools histories. That said, what happened 130 years ago should be left in the past, imo. To dredge stuff up in an effort to say "Gotcha!" is shortsighted and unnecessary. People are prone to faux outrage when it concerns their rivals on this board. I look at this as similar to people running to the board if a kid gets in trouble. (Not you....in general) We all have kids that get into trouble, and it's dumb to run here trying to be the first to cry outrage over stuff.

I wish the kids would learn to drive the speed limit...or at least close to the speed limit.

That said...do you really want to discuss the actions of former players?
We can if you want to....so...is this a place you want to go?

The Desegragation Riots an the campus of the University of Georgia where blacks were almost murdered by students and Klanners was in '61, which was before Wallace's infamous stand in the doorway.

---

Almost murdered? :lol: Is that like being almost pregnant? Yes, it happened earlier than what happened at Alabama, meaning Alabama was racially discriminating more recently. I'm not sure how that matters, but you seemed to want to make it a big deal in your previous post.

The Augusta Disorder was over a period of years from 67-70, which is still in the state of Georgia and still looks horrible for black students who want to attend college in that state was after Wallace in the doorway. Many blacks are still scared of the state of Georgia, in general, because of things like this.

---

So now you want to open it up to any kind of racial unrest in the entire state? be careful because now we Have Selma, Alabama to bring to the discussion and a few other things that has gone on in Alabama.
You might want to think carefully before you start bringing other parts of the states into the discussion. However...if you want, we can discuss entire states.

Alabama is not casting stones. Georgia is not casting stones. Kiffin, a slightly mongoloid coach of LSU is doing that. That is what the thread is about.

---

If you believe that, then you have not read through this thread, and seem to have forgotten some of your own posts.

quote:

---

I'm glad you agree that a coach of a team that proudly taunts and terrorizes black athletes with their name that idolizes and promotes hatred and division should probably keep his stupid fricking mouth shut in regards to which states and which teams are associated with racism and makes recruitment of black athletes harder.

---

You might want to step away for a bit. Do LSU athletes really look traumatized to you? You do know that if they were truly traumatized, they could just not go to LSU, right? Or to Ole Miss or to Georgia or to Alabama. Nobody is forcing them to be "traumatized."
:lol: You should probably stop living in the 1950's and 1960's. And, before pointing fingers at their schools research your favorite school and states racial history

quote:

---

WTF are you talking about. The entire thread is about LSU being named after men who were fighting to keep the ancestors of LSU's current players in neck cuffs and bound and tied up.

---

And my response was that no school in the country has a moral high ground for the past. Not LSU. Not Georgia and it is very odd for Alabama fans to be pointing their fingers, while needing the National Guard to come to preserve the peace and protect black students from harm.

quote:

---

Yeah, but the LSU Fighting Tigers and their fans are praising, celebrating, and honoring people who murdered their current players kinfolk and tied them to trees at night if they misbehaved and things like that.

---

Really? Mind showing me a post like that? I mean, they may have named their team after a group like that in the 1890's, but Alabama had the National Guard on campus to keep those same things from happening to black students in 1963.

And while I don't give LSU a pass by any stretch, they do have a point that very few people know about the nickname controversy, while I would be willing to bet that most know about 1963 at Alabama.

From what I have seen on here most seem to burn with a white hot hatred for FSU.

That's not to say they have fond feelings toward Georgia, though. We probably come in a semi-close second. :lol:

LSU's football team, and other teams at LSU, are directly named after Company B of the 1st Louisiana Special Battalion, the Fighting Tigers.

For the equivalent to be true of the Crimson Tide, they would be known as the University of Alabama Plowboys or the Tuscaloosa Plowboys, which was a well known cavalry unit formed mostly of Tuscaloosa men.

Dude...I think you are losing focus on what the whole thing is talking about. My post was about racial discrimination and how all schools have their own past to deal with and not just LSU. You can point your fingers all you want at LSU, but Alabama had a governor trying to block access to the University, and the National Guard had to be called out. Neither is something to jump up and down about and poit to proudly. But neither is doing that, either.
