Lost to sub .500 Miss st….4 years in a row.


Was the ultimate "trap" game for LSU--played the week after the always-big Bama game and the week before the Tulane rivalry game. Perhaps not coincidentally, the game was moved to the "conference opener" slot a few years later, and LSU has subsequently taken it more seriously and gone 28-4-0 in the series since then... :lol:

re: Mt. Rushmore of SEC coaches

You obviously have NO clue what puts people on things like Mt. Rushmore. It's lifetime accomplishments.
"Adolph Rupp was a legendary


Well, by that standard, then you can't also overlook that Rupp had a LOT of trouble with NCAA violations. So many violations in fact that wasn't Kentucky the first NCAA program ever given the death penalty? That is a serious level of rule-breaking. :spank:
You're grasping at straws with some of these links. If you're going to list all this stuff, then you might as well go all-out and list other things like NC State later hired Mike Archer as defensive coordinator, former NC State player and coach Ray Tanner hired Mainieri while being athletic director at South Carolina, etc...

the general population being able to rise up


Well, the general population isn't going "to rise up." Their government murdered 40,000 protesters in the weeks before the U.S. and Israel got involved. Those 40,000 were the most actively opposed to the government. At this point, the remaining people in Iran are either outright pro-government or "sheeple" who will not oppose anything that the government does. Game over.

re: East upper deck

Quit using that d*m escalator!


They used to have a nice, elongated ramp that went up there on the south end of the East Upper Deck. I head that they removed it to add the South Upper Deck, which seems odd because they had only built it like 15 years before. If true, then I have no idea how they don't violate fire code, because during an emergency evacuating all of those people on a single escalator and several sets of stairs would take an absolute eternity. It must also now have an incredibly long, sprawling line of people to get their tickets scanned and bags checked before the game starts.

Why has the OT become the 2nd poli board?


Don Lemon was born in Baton Rouge and went to LSU. It seems like 99.9% of the stuff discussed here on the O-T is in some way related to LSU specifically or Baton Rouge in general... :lol:

Would you trust the typical oil change place to flush the coolant correctly?


Coolant flushes (and all "flushes," for that matter be it engine flushes, radiator flushes, brake fluid flushes, etc.) are scams created by automotive service shops to generate revenue. If someone offers you one at a repair shop, just tell them "no" and then walk out, because they can't be trusted with anything else concerning your vehicle if they are willing to try to trick you with that scam. Ask yourself this question: have you ever heard of anyone's vehicle breaking down because it didn't get some kind of a flush? No.:spank:

Buddy has been at it since the high point of the 80’s


I think that he was originally a frequent caller to Norman "Nasty" Molvar's WKJN-FM sports talk show before Norman Nasty bolted to Slidell-area sports radio. Buddy's Sports Page was on WIBR-AM for years until Hurricane Gustav shut down the station permanently. I think that he was going to try to revive the show out of some Donaldsonville station at one point.

New Orleans:


Historically, several old guard wealthy families have run the city and have openly discouraged outside businesses from relocating to there so they don't have to have any competitors. Too much reliance on gambling as a last ditch effort to try to save the city.

Lake Charles:


See New Orleans.

quote:

Baton Rouge:


Very middle class city with no old guard rich families to block outside investments from coming in; welcomed new businesses and has therefore been the source of the bulk of the state's new jobs since the 1970s...big problem is that the lack of upper class people means most of the new businesses are just many smaller type businesses and really needs more big business coming in.

Lafayette:


See Baton Rouge (except Lafayette actually did have a number rich people briefly during the oil boom...boom didn't last long enough to invest it though)

Shreveport:


Gave up on being the center of country music.

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:
