Podcast WT: Louisiana vs SLU Preview

[slulionsfan]

What I remember most of SLU days in 60s was that Coach Russ F could not beat the Lions coached by Stan G. 0 wins. Even with Boomer kicking.

We had a good run under Galloway. Slipped into an abyss for a decade after he retired but revived under Billy Brewer. Billy left for La Tech (eventually Ole Miss) and we started off the Oscar Lofton era with a bang in 1980 and 1981. But the state budget went bust, we suffered severe cutbacks and our president was hostile to athletics. We foolishly dropped football after the '85 season, which set our athletics program back two decades. We've since recovered, but it was miserable around these parts for years from an athletics standpoint.

Lots of buds went to SLU. One of my buds/classmate taught many years there in Business School. Even had me lecture to his class. Great students. During 80s.

The things y'all latch on to.

"When in Rome" is a show of respect and you want to turn it into a negative.

No. When in Rome means I’ll do it hear because i don’t have the balls to call you in your house what I call you when I am not in your house. Because I know what I call you when I am not in your house is incorrect but I do it anyway.

Dude, get a grip.

When in Rome is a spin on Paul showing how to seek peace and fit in wherever you go.

Well I’ve got a real reason to hate SLU, and it has zero to do with name, letters, and on field games. It’s about basketball and how they tried every which way to force Louisiana to remain segregated in athletics. That’s enough.

As for our name? The same revised anti UL law that allows SLU to not use @ allows us use of Louisiana. If he doesn’t know what I’m talking about it’s on him to educate himself to not play the fool.

Brilliant catch!

I can't believe I missed that.
