Re: Parking Garage Construction
He played at Cajun Field and lost. Brian Mitchel beat him every time he faced him! The day we beat USM with Farve, we also beat Georgia that night in the Cajun Dome! That was a good day to be a Cajun fan! It was 85 or 86'....

Also, Don Bragg was a competitor at the Southwestern Relays in 1961. He won the pole vault at the Rome Olympics in 1960.
John Pennel was a world record holder in the pole vault, and I hate to mention this, but he represented NLU (now ULM). However, I don't recall him winning the Olympics.
I remember Billy Cannon throwing the shot put for LSU, and running the 100 yard dash - unusual combination by today's standards.
It was a very long time ago, but the Southwestern Relays were known far and wide back then.
Re: Parking Garage Construction
Cannon was know justifiably so as the fastest shot putter or the strongest sprinter in the world!!!

Didn't see a rendering of the garage, so thought I would post it. Also, I read that it will also be "fronted by a Liner building," that would include "commercial/academic space." But I don't see that on the rendering....unless the view in the pic is of the rear of the building. If anyone can shed light on this, please do.
Re: Parking Garage Construction
That is a nice looking parking garage ... makes me want to go parking again!
Re: Parking Garage Construction
I read somewhere that the entrance to the garage will be from Girard Park Cir and not from E Lewis st. Not sure if this correlates to the pic.
Re: Parking Garage Construction
When mcNaspy was torn down years ago I thought a great idea would be to build an international student building for academic, historical, cultural, culinary, etc purposes ---it would have been an oval type structure with each country having a designated room with all sorts of articles etc. from the individual countries---It would have been built with monies from all the countries and have certain articles on loan ------ like Latin American FG kickers, distance runners from Ireland and African countries, and women shot putters from East Germany!!!! lol

I agree...it's nicer than I had imagined. I think the arches are a nice touch.

Hum....that would be interesting. That would mean the traffic would flow between Fletcher and Oliver halls? But aren't there proposed extensions to the existing Oliver hall? If so, that might make it difficult to also fit in a road/driveway, don't you think?

I looked at the Master a Plan, and from what I can tell, it seems to me that a Lewis St entrance is what's planned for.

When mcNaspy was torn down years ago I thought . . . "WHAT ARE THEY DOING?"
I got over it.
Re: Parking Garage Construction
Just saw a press release that the parking lot will be closed starting tomorrow (December 17, 2013) for construction on the parking garage to commence.

And it appears that they have started on Fletcher. I have posted some pics that I found on the Fletcher Facebook page.

With all due respect sir the information you provided is not factual. Farve and I are the same age 1 month apart and I started school in the fall of 87. Brett did beat the Cajuns on home coming in late 80's on a last second score with no time on the clock. I remember there was controversy with clock and time was put back on the clock for him to do so. I am almost certain it was 89 which was Brian's Sr. year.

Didn't Farve and Delhomme face off? I remember a low scoring affair where USM came alive in the last 8 minutes to win the game.

I guess it wasn't Delhomme. I do remember this game.

Officially my first Cajun heartache....I was 8 or 9 years old.
