Whatever happened to the Cookieman?

It was Ronnie Henderson...and yea, that would have been a Final Four duo there. Ronnie could shoot the lights out, and Livingston was among the best in the country, before the injuries. :thumb:

 

Yeah, I knew it was Ronnie ... pretty funny pointing out the post I was responding to misstated Derrick Taylor for Darryl Taylor, then I misstate Ronnie Henderson for Rickey Henderson (wonder if he's going to play this year, what is he, 45 y.o.? First ballot Hall of Famer IMO.)

Dale put all his eggs in the Livingston-Henderson basket. Randy blew his knee out, and that basically signaled the end of the Dale Brown era. Randy would have made winners out of the limited other talent Dale had recruited, which was largely JUCO leftovers. W/o Randy, they were what they were ... JUCO leftovers. Dale was one of a kind however and lifted LSU basketball to previously unknown heights. Something should be done to honor Brown --- Maravich/Brown Assembly Center?

 

When I was in school they had a JV team a friend of mine played on. He asked for a ride to the Assembly Center because it was pouring rain. I dropped him off right outside the practice gym inside the arena. As I was getting ready to back off this big guy comes running up to my car and knocks on the window and asks for a ride to the Athletic Dorm. It was Howard Carter. He barely fit in my Mustang. He said, "Hi I'm Howard." I said "I know." Really nice guy and very humble.

 

Gogirl80. Your info is pretty much right on. Mitchell was the "other" forward in '81

 

unfortunately the cokkie man is no longer with us he passed on about 5 years ago. I lived with him in Broussrd hall Yes there was smoke there

 

Looks like we've got one thread. We can just post everything here.

 

I'm having withdrawals. I've actually considered going to that "other" place.

So much to talk about and no vents. Parcells, Rooney rule, spring game, pro day.

Made some boudin for the first time yesterday and cooked it in the smoker, turned out pretty good.
