Shaq said that quote about being from LSU recently? I thought that was something he had said while he was in college here.
This isn't a quote, but it is a great LSU story I heard recently: Back in the late 60s-early 70s, LSU had a RB named Art Cantrelle. Cantrelle had done some time in LTI as a youngster, and he had a reputation for being one of the meanest players to ever wear a Tiger uniform. While he was at LSU, Cantrelle got engaged and was planning to be married. At the time, there was an unwritten rule on the LSU team that any player who got married had to have the...shall we say, CLEAN-SHAVEN look. Just before the wedding, several LSU players showed up at the door to Cantrelle's dorm room with a straight razor, prepared to hold him down, pull down his pants, and do the nasty deed. They entered the room, surprised to find Cantrelle sitting quietly in a chair in the middle of the room, waiting for them. He said: "I know what you guys are here for, and I'm going to let you do it. But before you do, I want you all to know that I see the face of everybody present in this room...and I guarantee you that I WILL get every one of you, one at a time." At which point, everybody turned around and left the room. And Art Cantrelle got married with everything intact. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:
"What are you, a coach now?" Bill Arnsparger to Tim Brandt during halftime interview at the Sugar Bowl. "Have you ever masturbated?" Dale Brown to a Kentucky reporter. "The 'S' on our new uniforms looks like a piece of snot." Dale Brown on the lettering on new LSU uniforms. "We played like somnambulists!" Dale Brown after a lackluster LSU performance. "Somnamba-what?" I wish I could remember which of Brown's players responded with that. "We stuck it up their a$$!!!" Athletic Director Jim Corbett to Charlie McClendon, on the field at the Cotton Bowl after LSU had just defeated Arkansas. "Fellas, we're going to go over there to Georgia and play 'behind the bushes.'" Charlie McClendon, attempting to say "between the hedges." "I can't help it if I make a $50 wardrobe look like a $500 wardrobe." Terry Robiskie when someone asked if an athlete should spend so much money on clothes. After the end of the disastrous baseball season of 1977, coach Jim Smith had driven the team bus back from the last game of the season at Starkville, where State had routed LSU over the weekend. Everything went wrong that season and a number of players had quit or had been thrown off the team by Smith. Smith pulled the bus up in front of the LSU campus security office and went in. One of the players said, "Where's he going?" Another answered, "To turn himself in."
I don't remember who it was, but I remember watching a game on TV back in the latter Josh Booty years, when Booty was actually playing really well. Over the TV it almost sounded like booing, but then the announcer said... "They're not screaming "boo", they're screaming "Booty"! I just always thought "screaming booty" was really funny. It's probably one of my favorite pairings of two words ever muttered on TV.
