Hmmm, I didnt know Ron Jeremy was so short?

This was unfreakingbelievable. Im sure I will post more about this when Rick does. The stadium nazis handled the situation the wrong way. Even IF Rick did throw them, there is a proper way to handle the situation and that is not it. I think the guy that was talking with Rick was wrongfully thrown in the middle of everything, but he could have gone about it better. And it was not mild chaos, a near Paris-like situation is a more accurrate description. the 3 middle sections were FURIOUS with the event staff. I think Mr Muscles just has it out against Rick, and the group I am in, which is the same group as ladygreen. I was yelling at him, but was not using obcenities, obscene gestures, nor did I make and verbal threats, or show any intent to arm. Yet, steriod boy asks if I want to be next. I ask for what, but of course he could not answer. That steriod loaded POS needs to unclench is ass and take a hike. We definetly traded glares throughout the second half. I do want to point something out to everyone, even though I know some will take it as I have an ego. The people in the yellow shirts ARE NOT SECURITY. They have no formal training, nor do they hold any licensing from the State of Texas Private Security Board. Even though I don't plan on doing it for long, I am proud of what I do now, which IS security, for the courthouse. I do have formal training and I take my job very seriosuly. Its aholes like Mr Muscles that give real security officers a bad name. They have a false sense of empowerment, and believe that they hold the same powers of a peace officer. REAL security do not, as they understand their job is to assist peace officers, and they understand their powers and limitations within the law. I'm sorry to go off on the subject, it just bugs me. But the yellow shirts ARE NOT SECURITY!!!!

Think about the stands in "Necessary Roughness" and you will have your answer. Talons, get started advertising the last two home games, N O W!!!!

I saw a few players staying for the alma mattar. But I saw several walking toward the tunnel. Something stopped them and made them return to the field for the school song. Whoever it was, I thank them for that.

I woulnt exactly say that the language spoken by that dude in The Waterboy was English. Hell, at least our mayors and governor don't completely forget about the residents until it is too late, then try to blame others instead of getting off their asses and doing something useful.

SOS, different year. I do hate to hear about a possible reduction in height, though. Talons are safe and police themselves well. And as for watching it afterward, we do that EVERY year, until it has burned out completely, well after everyone else has gone to bed.

lets see, I have a ball signed from last years team. I think its a game ball, but Im not sure if it was used. My Booger bobblehead, I have a photo of myself and RV from 2 NOB's, 2 photos of myself and Dr Pohl from 2 NOB's, and a photo of myself and Dr Pohl on graduation day with me in my cap and gown. Just a side note, how many other presidents would stand there and pose for pictures with graduates and their families, or stand there and talk with them on graduation day? Dr Pohl did this when I graduated, even though he had to have been tired, busy, and at times not even feeling like being there. Yet, he was there, and with a SMILE on his face. That impressed me, and it made a H U G E impression on my dad. When I told him Dr Pohl was leaving, It disappointed my dad, because that day Pohl made that big of an impression him. Just my .02

I know that was the year we almost went to the Inhumanitarian Bowl.

Happy Halloween, wish I had a little time to celebrate. Hapy birthday RG

I was disappointed becuase I know that this was a makeable trip for us die hard greenbloods. I know there were probably many reason, thus I was not calling anyone out or scolding anyone. I was just disappointed because we did not have a larger showing.

Debbie, get a grip. I was not going off on anyone. I was merely pointing out the reason that most people, including the one that you stated to me, was not as bad as people made it seem. Furthermore, I said i was disappointed that we didnt have more turn out. I did not say they were bad fans, or that I was a better fan than you.

I know that there were probably a number of reasons, but the one I listed was the one that most people replied with when I asked if they were going. I was not trying to scold anyone or call anyone out. I apologize if it came out that way.

Then you must not read or pay attention to my posts. I hate seeing crap like what you just talked about. But we go to games for more than just to see us win, we go to support our school.

And you think I'm not?

It was the reason most expressed to me by other NT fans.

I got in about an hour before kickoff, so I didnt have time to tailgate. However, I didnt run into any of that famed hostile environment. Had a couple of conversations with LSU fans. Most were at least indifferent to me walking past them, a few were friendly. Seats were 50yd line right behind the team. Awesome stadium, which makes me look forward to getting our new one. The team showed MAJOR improvment last night. I think the score makes the game seem more lopsided that it actually was. It was only 28-3 at the half, and they didnt start piling on the points until after we had a couple of drives stopped in the redzone, one of those on the LSU 1. I don't think it was as much the coaches gameplan as it was that the players may be starting to come around. Probably the funniest thing all night was when practically EVERY ref on the field threw their flags at the spot where JQ got horsecollared. Don't think Ive ever seen that, much less the authority and force the flags were thrown with. The thing that I am most disappointed in is the lack of showing by the NT faithfull. I know alot were scared off by the hostile environment rumors. Even if it were true, so the hell what? There are tons of law enforcement inside, so you would be safe. If you get a beer thrown on you, bring an extra pair of clothes. I really don't see the reason for lack of fans there. Even if they want to taunt us, so what? We've had to put up with taunts from schools like SMU, Texas, and Oklahoma, we should be able to handle it from LSU fans. Im not on here to call anyone out about not going, I just want to point out that I don't think its as bad as everyone thought. I may even go back to watch them play someone else sometime. But now that we know the "eat your young" rumors arent true, we will have a bigger showing there next time. I may even have a few local LSU alums coming to visit Fouts this season. I just want to let eveyone know that Louisiana hospitality does extend into Baton Rouge.

See you down there Rick.

If what I saw was the actual "report" They just said something about the total point differential between the two teams. Then said a quick blurp about how the game got moved due to Katrina, and that was it. It will take me awhile not to despise them after watching *ric renner in 2001 doing a piece (of crap) on how we were excited about going to the NOB. Problem with the report is that he went up to campus over THANKSGIVING break. He and his camera crew set up at the North Texas sign by Bruce Hall. renner said something to the effect of, "You would think NT fans would be excited to be going to a bowl game. Well, where are they?" The camera then panned out to show an empty campus. The implied effect was that we were all apethetic and weren't out celebrating. BTW, it was broad daylight when he did the report, not later in the evening. Oh, if that wasnt enough, he and his camera then went to FRY ST and found 5 of the biggest liberal arts/ apathetic types/ disinterested in life types and asked them if they were excited. All said no, and one even laughed and asked, "we have a football team" Ever since then, Ive hoped someone would kick his ass, or at least scare the piss out of him like Jim Everett did to little rhome.

Who?

While I think it was a stupid comment, why would anyone in the black community get offened by it? It could be taken as a compliment.

Saw the quick blurp in the first few minutes of the show. What a waste of time. What would be the point of even bringing it up, other than to trash NT. LSU is not in the "Southwest".

This is directed at both, the remove dd and support dd peole on the board. I, and everyone here agree, we have improved leaps and bounds in attendance, conference domination, exposure, bowls, etc. However, at what point to we increase our level of expectations?

bump.

That sucks. New Orleans should have a pro football team.
