I was there... Robe's team caused nothing... We had dared to beat them and they had to come back and win two... which they did... Walley Pontiff, glorified in tiggger country, throws a bat into our dougout... Robe, like Marlin, simply stood up "for the name on our uniforms.. That's what Marlin was doing... Probably not a popular opinion on RP at the moment, but Marlin rose quite a few notches in my book by standing up to the bully..
And that's what they are.... Forget this "big brother" BS... Big Brother implies family... they are not my family... They are the 15 year old 180 pound fat boy in the 5th grade bullying his classmates
Robe don't buy-in... Marlin don't buy in...
Marlin's comments would have been no less relevant if he had said 'in the 65-years prior to my tenure.'
Marlin was exposing the absurdity of LSU's avoidance regardless of the current stature.
Including Louisiana's historical highs and lows makes any excuse even more foolhardy.
Will wade is 35 and has a FUPA, end of story
I've had two showers since I got home last night. I still cannot get the refinery smell off of me. Gawd I hate that fookin place. And Will wade is the biggest DB around. Fans were fine. Only ran into a couple that were not. Great game and great year. Oh and Will Wade is the biggest DB around.
So help me out here... How many games have been played between the schools BEFORE Marlin's comments??? Marlin stood up for his team... He stated the obvious, which you too state, that it would be great to play each other more often... To wit the 12 year old got his panties (I do think he wears panties after looking at him on TV) in a wad.... Marlin stated the truth.. it would be fun on both sides of the basin if we played....
I don't give a rats arse if we never play them again... in fact I hope we don't. We are brining in Texas in baseball... Let's try to do the same in basketball... I don't want to see the ugly arse purple in my gym
+1
Others have said it but I say it again - I went with a mixed group of UL and LSU friends and we all had a blast! Even tho the LSU students and Wade crossed the line a few times, it all made for a fun basketball environment and everyone in my group agreed that this should be an annual NC game. I suspect that will not happen because Wade will continue the tradition of refusing to play UL...and if so that's a damn shame.
I am also proud of how Marlin handled himself compared to Wade after the game. But again, that was a lot of fun and I think every LSU fan in the PMAC last night would agree with that
