First, there's a great article on Kirk Ferentz at http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/preview05/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=2140149 Loved the part about "Blue Chip Meet Cow Chip"... it just kills those Michigan fans to know Iowa has had more players drafted into the pros in the past three years than the Wolverqueens. BTW, they're working on our stadium ... just like in BR... they had a "fan tour" last Saturday and all the talk is about the visitor's locker room... Hayden Fry had it painted pink back in the early 80's. Well, now the visitors will get an even brighter pink... Hi-Liter pink, they call it. There are now pink walls, pink benches, pink carpet (thick with extra padding), pink toilets, pink toilet paper, pink shower heads, and some soothing piano music from Liberace. Does LSU do anything smilar for opposing teams??? (hey, we're 18-0 at home... third longest home win streak in Div I.... must have some effect!!)
Let's see, depending on what SEC opponent you ask (mostly Auburn fans) we topple Port-A-Potties, burn vans, hit old men with cancer with thrown footballs, throw bags of urine on them and team, pour beer or bourbon on them, throw mud balls with poop mixed in at opposing university administrative types (UGA), vandalize automobiles of opposing teams, verbally abuse opponents fans and team with alcohol-induced cursing....and any other things LSU fans have been accused of.
That is awesome! The only improvement I could think of would be: NO walls NO benches NO Carpet (in fact, make it slick linoleum...a locker room-caused injury would be hilarious)* Pink toilets, but connect the piping to their sideline NO showers *Note: Before you people get all bent out of shape about laughing about these wonderful student athletes getting injured...please know that I'm kidding...sort of
Yep, we're a terrible lot. Most think that's the Mississippi River they cross when entering Baton Rouge, but actually they are crossing the River Styx before entering Death Valley!
During Cholly Mac's days the visitors locker was painted pepto pink and had muzac pumped in to calm the nerves.
