Game vs Auburn when they lit up cigars in TIGER STADIUM and were strutting around showing their arse. That one was uncalled for. I've blanked out who their coach was, but he was a first class a-hole. My guess is Billy Brewer, may be wrong on that tho.

!958 win over Ole Miss - Cannon for 89 yards and stopped Elmore on the one with the clock running out for the win. Also the win over Alabama and Bear Bryant In Birmingham that caused Bryant to finally retire. Thank you Dalton Hilliard!
Ever heard of Oscar Robertson or Kareem? They led their teams to Wins.

It's shorthand for a brag. "I'm an innie, you're an outie. I (we) already knew that"
AND HIS COLUMN WAS READY TO BE PRINTED WITHIN MINUTES OF THE END OF THE GAME! SORRY ABOUT THE SCREAMING.

Finger or hand signs. Texas, A&M, TCU everybody from the old Southwest Conference HAD to have some dorky hand sign. Texas started it and all of the me toos came up with something. I saw Oregon doing it last week. We don't do any of that shite.

No offing way. Just as many will leave at the end of this year as have the last two or three years. Les has created a pattern that the kids understand. Sign w LSU, you'll be drafted early and the money will come early. He's done a great job but they're going to go if the pros will draft them. As long as he stays here LSU is going to be good BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GO IF they are good enough to be drafted…..

Sweetheart - that post sounds like a kissup for Alleva. That was a scrimmage we paid to see. It was a part of the LSU ripoff of 2014.

LF will get better. He made two/three high school cuts which turned plays into no gainers or less. Cam Cameron will spend time with him in the film room. Watching Hilliard run north south instead of east west was terrific. It won the game for us.

The previous winners make the decision. Not the team. Not the coaches. Do you trust them? Doesn't matter. Thank goodness it isn't you.
re: 2nd Greatest LSU Football Player Ever
Posted by tigerecho on 6/14/14 at 11:11 am to AngryBeavers
Kevin Faulk was sensational. No question. He was also very lucky that Cecil Collins suffered a broken leg in his fourth game. Kevin wasn't starting when the Diesel was healthy. Kevin wouldn't have had the stats he accumulated if Cecil had continued to be the starter. Was Cecil the 2nd best football player ever at LSU? Of course not. Could he have been? Maybe, but probably not. He was a hand grenade waiting to explode, and he did. Kevin was a product of the exceptional coaching of Bill Belichek He had a long career in the NFL
as a third down back. He did not start. Jimmy Taylor, on the other hand, was the 2nd best back in the NFL to Jim Brown for years. But he was too many years ago for most of todays computer and TV addicted fans to have ever seen him. Too bad.

Ga Tech - Bobby Dodd - !946 Night game. I know we lost. 21 to 6 - I think.

The name you're searching for is Alan Faneca. !3 years in the NFL. Nine years chosen for the pro bowl. Nine years All Pro. The guys he was blocking were black or white. He blocked 'em all. He was the best offensive guard in the league. At one point he was the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL. Re Kevin Faulk - he was fabulous, but when Cecil Collins came on the team Kevin went to second string until Collins suffered a broken leg. Bert Jones name belongs somewhere on that list. I believe Patrick Peterson will end up on that list too. But not yet.
re: Your favorite LSU victory- can be any sport
Posted by tigerecho on 5/21/14 at 11:03 pm to Radiojones
this is hard. I've seen so many. But Cannon for 89 yards for the TD and then Cannon and Rabb stop Doug Elmore at the one. Hard to beat that one '58. The game in Alabama in '82 when Dalton Hilliard sent "The BEAR" into retirement was delicious too. The first 62-0 game. 6-0 at the half.
No not even close. I posted on Sept 2. Magee reminds me of Dalton Hilliard. Hilliard was the most successful pro back ever to come out of LSU. Look up his statistics. They're built the same. They're scorers. Very similar. I made that post after seeing him once. The coaches should have been playing him more from the beginning.
Be careful what you wish for. If there's any way Slive can slide Bama in the back door he'll do it. If Auburn beats Mizzou Bama's probably toast but Slive will do most anything to help Bama.
Terrance Magee reminds me of the best running back i've ever seen play at LSU. Dalton Hilliard was the man. Probably too long ago for 80% of current members but he was great - about the same size as Magee and would find a hole in the defense and burst through it. This guy needs to be on the field.
To miss wreck location, leave I49 in South Shreveport turning West on Hwu 3132. It's 4 lanes w/ no traffic lights. Go about 7 miles - leave 3132 at West 70th (well marked) going west. Watch for sign directing you to turn north toward I20. (about three or four miles. This bypasses wreck location.

In the stands for Billy Cannon's run.
At the end of that game when Billy Cannon and Warren Rabb stopped Doug Elmore at the one to make Cannon's run a winner. They absolutely planted him. Had to have it. That was the winner.

I don't know if Faneca's best year was any better than his worst year. He was so dominant it would be hard to choose. But he should be in this list.
The other missing player IMO is Johnny Robinson. He was all AFL six years in a row and then came back to be named to that team three more times. KC Chiefs.

re: Which former LSU player has had the single greatest NFL season?
Posted by tigerecho on 7/6/13 at 10:56 am to Cincinnati Bowtie
Daniel Sandifer (March 1, 1927 – August 15, 1987), was an American football defensive back who played from 1948 to 1953. Because of WWII, he was one of the few college football players to play in two College All-Star Games.
Sandifer was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the 1948 NFL Draft out of LSU, and that SAME season he led the NFL with a then record 13 interceptions. Dick "Night Train" Lane's 14 interceptions in a season is the ONLY time Sandifer's record was surpassed in NFL history. Sandifer's 13 interceptions remains the All-Time single season interception record for the Washington Redskins. He also is included in a group of NFL players who hold the record for most interceptions in a game; four - Washington vs. Boston, Oct. 31, 1948, and in that same game returned two interceptions for touchdowns, a record that has never been surpassed. Sandifer was an architect. He was one of the architects of the Louisiana State University Student Union Building in Baton Rouge. Could he get a mention?

1944 vs GaTech
My father and uncle took me with a last minute decision. I was 6. Bobby Dodd was a big time coach then for Ga Tech. They were in the SEC back then. Tech won 14-6, but it wasn't that close. I think Gaynell Tinsley was LSU's coach but not sure. I didn't see another one until 1956, when I started LSU. I saw Cannon, Johnny Robinson, and Warren Rabb play their senior year in high school. When they all signed with LSU you had to know LSU was on the way.Those three guys with others, plus Dietzel put LSU football on the map.

Good post. Better than anyone else's. Nola was hot and until something changed the tone of the game, small ball was going to be the way this game was to be won. Bregman is the ONLY batter I would have considered having hit away. I imagine Maineri considered the bunt - he doesn't miss much. Good thing he doesn't have to take a poll on the Rant. There are some strange opinions on here. BTW I played baseball too. That doesn't mean one friggin thing.

If he's smart enough to be a catcher, that could fit. Not too many major leaguers with his build and height. How's his arm? Can he gun it?
Funny you mention Kevin Faulk. He WAS a good back, and a very good 3rd down back in the pros. BUT There was a time tho his junior year when he couldn't get on the field - Cecil Collins. But he hung in and when the Diesel went down he was there. Lets hope they both stay healthy and play.
