What did DD say in the Post Game?

Nevermind, I just hear they ran out of time - what a shocker.

Although no one in mean green land expected us to win, I was proud of the team

and felt that they played pretty well and never gave up. It was the play of a

really great LSU team that was the difference. We're young and we are gonna

be good over the next couple of years and that is progress.

I was let down that our beloved coach didn't have the courtesy to come on the

air after the game. He doesn't realize that part of his role is PR. A few words to

the kids and then he would have had a few minutes for us fans, that he detests,

and that would be meeting his responsibility as a head coach. Instead he left

George and Hank hanging and making excuses for him.

I remember a Fry team getting beat 67-7 by Okie State one year. He spoke to

the fans and said we will have our day. Two years later we beat OSU in the

Cotton Bowl. Just one more differnce in a positive big thinking coach and one

that feels no obligation to the fans.

You guys know I wouldn't pull any punches if that was the case, but it simply wasn't.

Coach Dickey was detained by reporters doing postgame interviews for at least a half hour down on the field after the game. If the MGRN didn't have a microphone down there, then that's the network's fault.

Actually it was three years later in 1978 and the game was at Texas Stadium. It was Hayden's last year here and probably his best team. We went 9-2.

Then Hayden left and we had only intermittent, limited success till 2001.

Adler, how in the hell could reporters (I am guessing VITO and maybe one other guy from the S-T) carry on a 30 minute conversation with DD? What could he say in those 30 minutes that haven't been said 42 times before?

Vito may have been with Dickey for a few minutes, but Bret spent the majority of his time interviewing the players.

There were several reporters from what I presume were Tigervision, LSU Sports, Louisiana stations, and SEC market newspapers that were conducting the interviews with Coach Dickey.
