Karl Malone

[PawDawg]

Considering what Karl has done for our Alma matter, I will give him 100% pass on this.

You mean like going on national TV and saying how much he dislikes what Tech has done while spewing bad information and showing greed?

Karl is supporting his son and that comes before anything trivial like LA Tech's grudge against lsu. While I don't like seeing him in the purple and piss I am glad that he is supporting his son's decision to attend that university and play football for them.

Your thoughtfulness towards Malone is very sweet.

I think it's a good thing that Karl's son didn't come to Tech. If he did not get the playing time Karl expected, it would further strain a tumultuous relationship.

We didn't recruit him.

I have great respect for what Malone has done for Louisiana Tech. My statement was not a jab. Just stating fact.

How about the damage he has tried to do to LaTech. How do you feel about that?

MD, I realize that we didn't recruit him. I was simply trying not to fan the fire.

I didn't start the thread. I will not act like him getting plastered all over social media with lsu crap on is understandable. It's just another bad decision by Malone and very similar to Kim Mulkey wearing powder blue on National TV.

Case in point, look.at attendance at game yesterday and those that left at half- for our 2nd home game. Our fanbase is so transparently thin. Unless we are blowing everyone away, they do not show up. Unfortunately, obvious concerns.for upcoming basketball season attendance..

I am more concerned with me going to jail over these IDIOTS wearing there LSU crap to our games.

For some reason, I have no problem with him wearing LSU colors to cheer for his son. If they believed LSU was the best place for him to go, that's cool with me. I am more irritated by LaTech grads who have no tie to LSU dressing all up in purple/gold on the same day when their alma mater is playing a home game. I don't understand that.

Agreed. I don't have to worry about it thankfully, but I would even put that ugly shirt on if my kid was playing on a team there. I would probably need something to keep it from touching my skin, but being a parent trumps most things in my book. And I could only wear it for the game and would need to change before I left. I am just hopeful none of mine want to go there!

Just wait til next year when Mickey Slaughter puts on that purple and yellow for his grandson's team.

When I came to Tech from out of state, I was shocked at the amount of purple and gold worn around campus. .

Not anymore!

But they don't have to wear purple and piss colors!! They are supporting their kids by just being there in person.

I wore a purple jacket with gold trim and a purple sweater that were left over from my HS days. My HS colors were purple and white with some gold or gray trim off and on, but I believe we were originally copying Northwestern State who was probably Northwestern U. Most of our teachers were NSC grads or even Louisiana Normal when a lot of them graduated.

A few years before I attended they would make you take the letter off your jacket or sweater, but they had stopped that in about 1960-61.

If your child was out there playing, you would.

[Woof!]

The irony of criticizing Karl for wearing a gold shirt is that another thread is started about LSU to add to the many that are already abundant on this forum.

I heard Tiger drops came on here and copied a thread. Apparently, they care about us too.

These are the things about Karl that upset me.

Wearing LSU colors to an LSU game to watch his kid play for LSU? Doesn't bother me. I wouldn't expect him to hate LSU more than he loves his kid.
