I know most of us schedule weddings around football season. I'll be in B.R. on Saturday for a wedding and it looks like a side trip to Tiger Stadium is in the cards. Knowing the bride and groom are big LSU fans, I wonder if they think this is good luck or bad luck. They probably saw that LSU basketball was playing on the road and figured it was the perfect time for a wedding. Hope the weather holds up.
Right on, Col. You are a good SEC representative... I was born in Centreville (the only member of my family born outside of LA) so I should by all rights be at least partially enured of your boys... But you are dead on right about ALL local Tigahs making the trip... I live out here on the left coast but still made 3 games (AZ, AU, & LT) this year... these Pac-10 fans make me wanna BARF (except Cal fans, who are at least somewhat rabid) because they cannot begin to match the intensity of SEC sports, which I miss greatly... Enjoy yourself at the bash - I would if I was there!!!! GO TIGERS - GO SEC!!!!
Centreville say man-----------You didn't say when you were born. Centreville is known as the tigers. Their colours are purple and gold. Last year they (LSU) signed a lineman that weighed in around 325.
Try 1956...late December... That's great that they are the Tigers too... You brought up the famous 1970 matchup that you were at - Do you remember the pre-game controversy surrounding Archie's cast? And how the refs would rule on it? Would they let him play? What I remember the most was that my dad had bought a 9" B&W TV with a portable battery just before the game - what a rarity in those days! We left the game from our season ticket seats in South U11 early in the 4th qtr (my dad was a little under the weather) and heard the crowd roar. While walking along the East side of the stadium, I stopped to watch what had happened on the TV and I was immediately was surrounded by a crowd! Punt return for TD!(3rd of the game) What a glorious night - after what Archie did to us the two previous meetings - we owed him... I will always respect Johnny Vaught as a great SEC coach. You have a good one in Cutcliffe, as well...
Also - the lineman you are speaking about is Will Arnold - he redshirted this year. I was pleased when I saw that they had signed him...
Re: Looking for you I'm telling you guys he is turning TIGER! by the time the celebration is over, with them grandkids workin on him, he'll be singin' "Hold That Tiger!" and wondering just who col reb is anyway? Don't fight it REB! its great being a Tiger fan! have fun at the celebration.
