    They came back from 21 points back and won the game. They had all the reason in the world to be that excited. If we would have done that in there place, we would have done the same thing.

    I sure hope the assclowns that threw the stuff at their bus were caught and punished.

    Yeah, the cultured intelligentsia of Michigan burn the city when they win. The Einsteins in Wisconson really know how to celebrate too. I'm sure LA is a calm sophisticated place too after sporting events- give me a break.

    You are right, it was Herb Vincent, not Skip Bertman.

    Some Arkansas fans that have been to LSU told me to be on guard at all times when I go to BR this Nov. I've heard many stories of fights, stuff being thrown, and cars being vandalized. LSU fans really do get a bad rap as far as alot of Arkansas fans are concerned. I actually debated whether I would wear my Arkansas colors or LSU colors to the game until you guys convinced me that my seats were in Arkansas section and that I should wear my RED.

    The police aren't doing their jobs. There are cops every 100 feet on gameday. But they stand in packs and talk instead of walking around and looking for trouble. It ain't hard to find. The problem is not with Tiger fans. The problem is some young, purple-&-gold hooligans who feel free to misbehave on gameday. Many don't even have tickets, they are just here to party. They do it because there are no consequences. Throw a bottle at a bus anywhere in America including downtown Baton Rouge and you are going to jail. These people are hiding in gameday crowds and the cops aren't addressing the problem.

    I saw a crowd of about 20 young animal frats hollering a bunch of rude crap and following along behind a small group of disturbed Tennessee fans. This wasn't a good-natured "Tigerbait" taunt. It was vulgarness, threats, and fighting words. Three motorcycle cops not 30 feet away just watched it go by. Skip said that kind of behavior won't be tolerated. But it is being ignored by the cops. They only help if they are asked. One must assume they are following orders.

    Problem is the cops are outnumbered 1000-1 and right or not are often seen as the bad guys in such a situation. The fans are the only ones that can stop it plain and simple.
