re: Experiences with LSU Lab School
Posted by Petrol0204 on 2/11/15 at 10:44 am to Farkwad
Went there and graduated in the 80's. In 1983 or 1984 the tuition went way up and then went up steadily to it's current level. So you have a much different type of kid (and parents) than when I was a student and tuition was less than a thousand. My sister went there.
I played sports- they were Class A back then and yes one needed to excel in the athletic arena as well as academics to be amditted or a person needed political help. But not nearly as bad as today.
Part of me is happy I attended there and around 75-80% of my graduating class went to LSU. Part of me wishes I went somewhere else (to Baton Rouge High had they participated in major team sports). There exists a bubble that insulates the kids. I don't think its a good thing most of the time.

Basketball: LSU 148 v. Loyola Marymount 141
Football: LSU 20 v. Alabama 10 (Bear's last year)
Baseball: USC game in regional at home 8-7 (maybe) not sure about score but it was tense and both teams were playing at a high level.

Well considering he has mental issues; he doesn't have an interest right now.

5th or 6th best player on that stacked U-High team? U-High lost 4 games in 2 years. Temple was injured and out for 3 of them.....and the 4th he was playing with a bad ankle...

re: Did anyone know Scott Cochran while he was at LSU?
Posted by Petrol0204 on 12/6/13 at 9:58 am to dgnx6
He actually worked for UHigh. I think he did special teams because I would see him at games gathering the kickoff and punt peams when it was time for them. Also my nephew said he did the summer weight program for the athletes until he got a GA at LSU. Supposedly he was normal back then and not the showman he is now.
Also, my nephew who player varsity basketball for Ari Fisher the year before they had that 3 or 4 year run with Big Baby Garrett et. al said he kept the clock at Boys' basketball games. For extra money I suppose..the word was that Fisher got him the gig at UHigh.
This is all from my nephew who went to UHigh from 1997-2000 so it might be bad information.

re: My Biggest complaint........ the Team quitting
Posted by Petrol0204 on 11/14/13 at 2:27 pm to Fat Bastard
I recall FB from 1976 when I went to my first game at age 5 to see a undermanned LSU team tie Nebraska 6-6.
In terms of quitting I remember a few instances.
Dinardo years: once against Arkansas when Craig Nall started. once against Kentucky when they won 31-5. once against Houston who won 20-7 and he was fired the next day.
Hallman- many times; one of the most blatant is one time against Ole Miss on the road and they won 32-0. Hallman's second game of career against Texas AM 45-7 loss. Florida 58-3. No pride that game; the low point of LSU football maybe ever.
Archer: Maybe Miami of Florida 44-3 but for the most part they played hard; just poor
Bill A. : he would not allow that. we had a strong NFL influence and things were done like the pros do it. Quitting was not accepted.
Stovall: Tulane in 81 48-7...not sure they quit in any other games. Stovall was a fine gentleman even though he had poor coordinators for 2 of 4 seasons.
McClendon: Don't really recall a time they quit. In 74-75 they didnt have good talent and other teams like Texas AM and even Miss State and Kentucky were good.
Just my analysis from my memory

re: Did anyone actually at LSU when Saban was coach have run ins with him?

Yes. A big run-in; but can't disclose the details.

I have always thought Miles was at his best when people give up on the team. It was the same after Florida beat us last year. Couldnt run- huge problem. Then the next week they run all over South Carolina. They have 3 weeks to prepare for Alabama. I am sure they will give a supreme effort. Not sure if that effort can translate to a win but they will be all in because they have another week off before AM. I guess this is the SEC way of helping LSU since they made us play GA away this season and FLA every year.

It is a shame. I watch those videos often...maybe you could find more vintage stuff from the 70's and early 80's. That would be cool..I hope you reconsider.

Suggesting the BCS championship is less worthy because we backed into the game is inapproiate.
The fact is that Miles won't alter his ideas about football. At times that can be troubling. But its the reality.
The problem (regardless of the youth of the players), seems to be sideline and clock management. We waste plenty of time getting the proper players and giving the play to the qb, etc. I haven't timed it but I would be willing that we waste so much time that in equals to about 5 or so plays we don't get a chance to run.
I have experience coaching college athletics as an assistant. For the kind of money our staff makes; the standard they should be held to is high. Right now, the staff isn't living up to or earning their check. They might work around the clock like Joe Gibbs (sleeping in office) uses to do for all I know, but there seems to be a disconnect on game day especialaly when things get tight. You can't pay money and tolerate this sort of thing. I am not saying firing, but someone needs to make him aware that the standards are higher than what is being achieved. Is this harsh, sure it so....but things become harsh when we pay that kind of money.
