HOF LSU Coach Charlie McClendon: disappointment or not?

Like I said, you won't be able to see it but everyone else does. At this point, I'll bow down to the stupidity of your posts. I choose not to leave my 4th grade desk and venture down to the preschool sand box.

 

Well, you're honestly not shining any light on your darkness to me.

 

You're the fool if you think people didn't follow sports as much as they do now just because it wasn't on TV as much as it is now. Again: radio and newspaper. Trust me, I followed sports just as much as I do now just based on the radio and newspaper alone. Again, ask your father and grandfather.

 

Now I know you're as dumb as your acting. I'm talking college sports not sports. If you think the big business college sports has blown up to over the pas decade existed back then well you have no hope of ever being able to represent in any debate on this board to me.

 

Did we have the same uncle? This brings back memories of cool Saturdays in the fall I spent as a child....being at LSU on game day.......seeing Mike the tiger.....the small of good food cooking on the grill....and the night time football in Tiger stadium. :geaux:

 

agree....it was a big deal when LSU was on TV back than........BIG DEAL....now I can watch every LSU game on TV and I live in Ohio......not the same world........

6 times in 4 years........how many times has LSU palyed on TV the past 6 years? The games you are talking about were BIG games for the day......during the 60's and 70's it was not common to see LSU paly on Nat'l TV........

 

You really didn't need to start this thread --- we already assumed you have no life away from the net.

Just so you will understand ----- to many of us growing up at that time, Coach Mac was LSU Football. It is simple as that and there really is no point in comparing coaches in college football in the 50's and 60's to coaches in this decade.

The game, the players and the fans are all very different. In Coach Mac's day few if any players anywhere spent the entire year at school, training and working out. Many players started on both sides of the ball, you did not have the free substitution rules you have now and recruiting was not a year round job, just to name a few differences in the college game.

Let's move on.
