I just asked your question on an LSU board and the response was that LSU's athletic department is self-sustaining, using no state funds, and therefore the rule is not applicable to them.

I know...

No comment needed. I think we all know the answer to that. :laugh:

By the way, I love your sig.

When did the hiring freeze start? After Dooley was hired?
I had heard something quite a while back about a hiring freeze, but didn't know it was still in effect.

Thanks. Glad to know he's considered a good guy. If you guys have nothing negative to say about him, that tells me he must be a good hire. :D

Appreciate the info.

Thanks. According to what I had seen last night, he's an LSU grad, so obviouslyl that's a strike against him. ;)
Dandy Don's bio on him this morning had him starting out at Catholic High, then on...

I read last night that he is being hired at LSU and at one point coached at LA Tech as RB coach or something like that. I believe it was only for a year, so you guys might not remember much about...

I know this is a touchy subject and I fully expect to get blasted for bringing it up, but I was talking with some Tech and ULM and LSU fans today at church and this subject arose...

ULM had over...

First I want to give recognition to the toughness that LA Tech showed as a team. I was very impressed with your rushing defense. It was extremely tough to run in short yardage situations against...

Wow, I actually did get some green. Thanks for the sentiment.
(I won't out the one who gave it. haha)

I don't expect any green. I just find many of the red dots I've gotten amusing. lol

And I'm not aware I'm hiding anything.

So now you are saying that you don't believe there was ever an attempt to model Tiger Stadium after the Roman Coliseum????

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO kay.

Believe as you will.

Enjoy the game. ...

I believe I've already stated twice that the expansions to Tiger stadium did not continue to incorporate the original theme of the coliseum.

As far as I know, "Tiger Bait" is not an officially...

And you are entitled to your opinion, however misguided and unfounded.

You are correct that the expansions have not incorporated the original coliseum pattern. I wish they would have done so. I...

Regarding your question, I don't really know and don't particularly believe it matters, but I would suggest that the vast majority are aware of the coliseum and Rome.

As for your latter...

Apparently you aren't a student of history. :D

I understand the premise of the thread. Bait is typically used to trap the prey. But in the coliseum this was not the case. And live bait very...

What I realize is that the "bait" never really fared well in these encounters while the Tigers typically got a nice meal and lived to fight another day. lol

I do wish the powers-that-be would...

lol...this post earned me a red dot with the message, "Go Away, tiger trash."

Cute.

???

I guess you and I just have vastly different ideas about what makes up good coaching. I don't base my opinion on what most other coaches would do in a situation. I don't want an average...

Indeed he did. LSU has pretty decent seating for visitors in comparison to most SEC teams.

Christians, "barbarians" of other races, criminals, etc.

:D

Maybe we should move most of the visiting section away from the SEZ and into the corners of the upper decks like Saban did when he arrived at Alabama. That might help. :D

C would get you maybe 3 yards and you'd still have at best a 35 yard field goal into the wind. Our kicker has NOT been great from that range.
Miles took a shot at the endzone knowing he'd still be...

On a side-note, just a question...have you seen the Coliseum in person? I'm asking because my wife and I plan on going next year and if you've been there and have any advice on the trip, I'd love to...

lol. Well, you may believe as you like, of course, but I'm telling you the story behind the term in question.

The original bowl was built to resemble the Coliseum. Take away all the...

Saban lost at least three games EVERY year except for the 2003 season.
He lost to UAB.
He lost to numerous teams that had inferior talent.

Saban is more media-savy than Miles. Saban is a...
