Longtime LSU fan (1962) who lived mostly on the West Coast until the last 12 years. I've been in all the Pac Ten stadiums and to say any of them compare to Tiger Stadium is a joke.

Long time USC radio announcer (Mike Walton) said during the USC game at Tiger Stadium in the 70s...."This makes Notre Dame look like a walk in the park".

It's really not anything to argue about. No contest.

Harry--

I'm over in Mississippi and know what you're talking about. Mine isn't usually that late but late. After Katrina the problem seemed to be mail being routed through New Orleans (no surprise, I guess) but things haven't really gotten better in recent years.

I just think the writing isn't as good nor is the layout (especially the basketball guide). After all these years of subscribing...I doubt if I'll renew.

BTW...What happened to the daily Tiger Rag e-mail ?

Sounds like the company is going down or just hanging on. Deville wasn't great but better than the latest "editor".

Tiger Rag Magazine Question

Posted by Wimpy on 11/24/09 at 4:01 pm
I don't live in the Baton Rouge area , so I'm out of the loop.

I've been a Tiger Rag subscriber since day 1 ,years ago and have seen a huge drop off in quality the last 4-5 issues plus the Basketball Special.

I've also noticed a change at the top (editor) several times since the opening of the football season.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the personnel changes and/or the future of the magazine ?

Maybe it's just me but I feel the writing quality and substance is not as good as it once was. Is there an alternative publication (as Purple & Gold once was) ?

Thanks

Lousy telecast....worse crew.

Ron Franklin is easiest the best play-by-play guy they have and you rarely see him anymore.

Mark Jones is the worst they have. My gawd, Pam Ward is better than him.

My feeling was there was a pro-Washington basis from the start. And what was the attraction to the UW defensive coach ?
