LSU Chickens
Gary 'el goob' Smith
[reprinted from today's Bryan Eagle, with appropriate editorial editing
as I saw fit]
A&M Athletic Director Wally Groff Tuesday announced that LSU had 'chickened'
out of the current football series. A&M will travel to Baton Rouge next
September to end the current series which began in 1986.
"They broke it with us," Groff said. "On Sept. 1, Joe Dean called me and
told me he wanted out of the four years remaining on our contract. I was
shocked. I told him we needed a comparable replacement. He said Nevada-Reno
would play, but I didn't feel that was comparable [ed note: I do].
"In December he sent me a fax that said they were definitely out for '96
thru '99. I faxed him back that we would not release them from the contract
until we find a comparable replacement."
Unless A&M releases it from the contract, LSU must pay a penalty clause of
$200,000 (half the guarantee) for each game.
"LSU wanted out of the game because they are a bunch of pansy-assed sissy-boys.
They also mumbled something about an already difficult schedule with the
expanded Southeastern Conference schedule but it's hard to understand them
cajuns when they start wimpering too much."

I really hate to see this series end. They started the series in '86
when I was a fish. We went down to tiggertown and got our butts waxed.
It was one of those games where Murray had problems distinguishing jersey
colors. There was an upside. One of the bars we visited had
nickel drinks after every tigger victory. That was my favorite
road trip during the five years I was in school.
I guess LSU faithfull (aka JJ) can count on one more win a year. Curly must
like playing Utah State better.

Maybe the current series. But A&M has been playing the tiggers since at
least 1973 (when I was a fish). I believe the series had been off and on for
a couple decades before that.

You obviously don't remember the last four bowl games A&M
has played in and lost. LSU's schedule is indeed tougher than
A&M's and you'd better get use to losing because those Aggies
are gonna have their ASSes handed to them by those POWERHOUSE
teams from the BIG EIGHT.

What's this?!?!?! Somebody is trying to post disguised me, and he's doing a
pretty poor job of it to boot! Doesn't include my organization, nor my
account and name in From:, and the ears don't stick out from his head far
enough. Looks nothing like me, then turns around, uses my name, and tries to
destroy my integrity (quit snickering, Saunders) by defending LSU, home of
that known duckshagger R*y N*varre. This means war, and I've never been so
stupid as to bring a pocket knife to a cannon duel.

I believe we are 3-1 in our last 4 bowls, and as for the last
3, can you please post all of the teams that have played
Notre Dame twice and FSU once in the last 3 years and their
respective records against them?
>Gag'em Aggies,
>T-Bone
cmuck (and another thing... we were only 13 pts from being
2-1 in the last three bowls)
ps- as for the big-8 schools, I think A&M will do what they
traditionally do... Lose the first couple, then
figure teams out, and then play much better. Good
thing we have Oklahoma on the schedule a couple of
years before the conference begins play.

Look, Bayou Bungle, I'll have you know that I've had this nickname for over
half my life, going back to a band I was once in. I didn't assign this
nickname to myself in a vain attempt to try to make my snivelling little self
seem cooler on an international medium than the cretinous little git everyone
perceives. I got this nickname from a friend (Cliff can look that up in his
electronic dictionary for you) in a blues band because I was (and still am) a
huge fan of T-Bone Walker. How did you get the name, by sitting on the bell
of a trombone and begging your boyfriend to play it?
Let me just state for the record that I have absolutely no feelings outside
of contempt for any Aggie school, be it TAMU, OkSU, or Purdue University and
Dungheaps, Inc. The only school that you mentioned in any form in you
original post with which I have any sort of affinity is Colorado, and only
because I was in grad school there long enough to get my master's and get out
before it was my turn to lick Bill McCartney's feet. As for Like Show Up, I
promise I will become a fan of that school as soon as they get a basketball
coach who can tell the difference between Meteor Crater, AZ, and the space
between his gluteous maximi.
As for thinking highly of myself, taking into account my MS in stellar
astrophysics, I do think that I have above average intelligence, but if you
are implying for one second that I am as pompous or as filled with hubris as
a Notre Dame fan, you could do me a favor by reaching between your legs,
grabbing your ears, and giving a hard pull.

Are you really that big a moron? What in his post made you think he was in

Well, how very nice. I send you e-mail to make sure that you do not get your
feelings pureed by my rapier-sharp wit and you turn around and attempt
electronic blackmail. What kind of a worm are you? And isn't there a postion
for you in the government? (Senator comes to mind...)
I would also like to inform you that I played in a blues band, not a marching
band. I hate those losers in marching bands, thinking they are so cool but
not realizing how pathetic they really are. (NOTE: FAMU's band is not
included in this category, but they are a very rare exception.) The only
thing impressive about the tOSU marching band is that, collectively, they can
spell "Ohio". This is more than their football team can do, especially now
that Robert Smith is gone. The only possible good thing about being in a
marching band is the one-in-a-million chance that a psychotic sexless
man-woman in powder blue tights and a note-spangled jacket will visit you in
the middle of the night. At this point you can strangle him/her/it. [Hello,
fellow MSTies.]
Anyway, for the record, the band's name was my second alltime favorite name:
Pontias Pilate and the Nail-Drivin' Five. People who graduated from Indiana
in the late eighties will probably remember the best band name of all time:
Jiff and the Choosy Mothers.

You'll have to excuse Brian; he discovered that he likes to sit naked on cold
linoleum while looking at pictures of Oski wearing filmy lingerie. He hasn't
been the same since. Anyway, Aaron Walker's middle name was "Thibeaux". I got
it because "I'm a big fan".

Why not? All I needed to know is that you made a pretty stupid post, and I
responded to it. The fact that you made about 2 or 3 incorrect assumptions
about Mr. Burton made you a dork. The fact that you posted that
inflammatory message after he tried to resolve things by email makes you a
retarded dork.
> You are a fu*king pussy, Brian.
On the other hand, you have little evidence to back this up. Do you know
anybody that has met me?

Well, with most of their offensive starters back, and a good part of the
defense back, they should look very good. Unfortunately, along with that
comes high expecatations, and with road games at Colorado, Ohio State, and
Michigan, it will be hard to match last season's performance.
Wisconsin is having a hard time filling the FB spot vacated by Mark
Montgomery, but there are some pretty decent players that are giving the
position a shot. In addition, there has been experimentation with using a
2 tailback set with both Fletcher and Moss.
Sophomore tailback Carl McCullogh has looked very impressive in spring
practice.

No, that was Jerry Lee Lewis. T-Bone Walker played his guitar
right-handed (not unusual), but he also slung his guitar strap over his
right shoulder (a little odd and off-balance looking for a right handed
player).
I saw a program on PBS in the early 70s that featured BB King and T-Bone
Walker. T-Bone was old as hell, but I got into it. BB was still fairly
young then and he smoked (or, so I thought at the time...)
Both men, btw, were staunch SEC football fans and pulled for Auburn, Miss
St, LSU, Florida and bama (in that order).

Now Swangman, you better be careful here. I beleive that T-Bone

The man who was on _The_Original_American_Folk_Blues_Festival_ with Willie

> As for BB King, isn't his blues club in Memphis?
Yep, down on Beale Street. It's good to see Beale Street as an economically
viable institution, but they had to yuppify it too much for my taste.

Blasphemy! Kill the unbeliever!
Oh, well, maybe not "kill"; I mean, at least he isn't a Notre Damer.
