I don’t know why Coach O would lie about the locker room issue.  I haven’t read or heard Holtz comment about it but if he did indeed say it was the case that weekend, I don’t think anyone would doubt it because Skip, through Trey, is part of the family.  I also can’t imagine that would be intentional with LA Tech given the Holtz family’s support of the University.   

I do think Coach O (who I’ve always thought to be a good guy) was less than genuine about the “cramps” issue.   As WGL pointed out, didn’t happen with a single Tiger offensive player.   Short of LSU having separate conditioning programs for the different units, that alone is hard to believe.  

But I’m not even that bent out of shape about the “flopping” either.  Although I’m not a fan of the tactic in any sport, if the Tigers were doing it intentionally to counteract the speed of the UT’s no huddle offense, they wouldn’t be the first team to employ that tactic in the sport.  And it’s not technically against the rules.  But if more teams start doing this, I can’t imagine there won’t be some punitive repercussion inserted in the rules soon.  

And again, as with WGL’s experience, I didn’t have a single encounter with an LSU fan that wasn’t entirely positive.  To the contrary, they were fantastic.  Much respect to them.  

As for the band, fan’s seats, etc, I couldn’t care less.  There were plenty who shelled out enough to get a good seat, there were several in our section.  Give UT the same allotment next year, in the worst section you can provide. There will plenty of us sitting in LSU donor seats anyway, just like the Tiger fans who opened their wallets this year.  Despite what any school wants to claim about their fan base, there will always be those who are willing to sell their tickets to one game and use the money to pay for the rest of the games for that season (and who can blame anyone who wants to do that).  It’s been that way forever.

Idk.  I just remember more people watching that game than any game aggy has ever played.  Ever.  Like at any point in the history of the game.   So even at 5-7, still more “relevant” than deranged lit

Leaving Thursday night.  Going to be with a mixed group of Longhorns/Tigers.  Hoping for a Longhorn win a good time to be had by all.

Isn’t that where the homeless camps are in Austin now?   Hopefully people can avoid the dirty needles and human feces.

In other news, my understanding is Skip Holtz has all but called Orgeron a liar.  The whole thing seemed awful fishy to begin with because if it had happened with La Tech it would have been unintentional, and would have been rectified.  Skip is part of the family.  I don’t know why Coach Mushmouth felt compelled to make this an issue, but for the convenient “cramps” (aka flopping) which was “suffered” in abundance on one side of the ball.  What he neglected to anticipate is the abundance of technology available in this day and age.  Bringing La Tech into the discussion was not wise either, but he likely could have been completely unaware of Skip’s connection with the school.

Ticket allotments for LSU were cut to 3,000 due to the stadium construction.

In return, UT paid LSU $1.5 million. 

Same will take place next year with UT receiving less tickets and $1.5 million.

Exactly what they were told - no school is going to boot season ticket holders out of their seats to create some for opposing fans.  Again, if you want a good seat, pay for it.

Tough pill to swallow for aggy to realize that even their beloved SEC considers them a joke.  Especially harsh to get slapped across the face while you are attempting to get another whiff of a jock you’ve been openly sniffing for a decade. 😂

Smells like onions and shame...

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
