Crowton out at LSU?

[moorecajun]

_ I wish it were us that were lucky to have 11 wins 4 times in six years. Access to Talent/quality of coaching is for the most part a cherry picked given for the last decade for LSU@BR. It's no accident.

related subject to consistent performances.......

Coincidence or fact? Large amounts of oversigning, particularly by SEC West could soon be rubbing thin with other BCS conferences. SEC is by good margin the most abusive BCS conference for scholarship oversigning. All this winning may be more than a co-incidence. Could it be there is a unfair advantage from oversigning?

We have an abuser too in the SBC. The most consistent team in SBC in recent years (Troy) is by far the SBC's worst for oversigning. I'd say there are provable facts that support scholarship oversigning creates a competitive advantage.

You're right, there is quite an advantage to the oversigning. I won't call it unfair but rather unethical. I think this is a reaction to the amount of money that is now in college football; a win at all costs mentality. How a coach can get a player to commit to his school then tell him they don't have a scholarship just isn't right. I will be happy when this is reformed, and yes, I think that would also bring Troy down to earth.

I love the Mad Hatter all he does is win!!!!! I just wish it were at another school, because man do I hate LSU!!!!!!!!!!!

Part of the reason I like him so much is that the LSU ignorant fans, which are all of your Jonny come lately bandwagon fans want him fired because he is a horrible coach. LOL they are so dumb!

""He should have bought a lottery ticket a long time ago.""

He didn't have to buy a lottery ticket. He's so lucky, he just found a winning ticket and signed the back. (Actually, what he signed was a contract worth 4 million a year. I would say that's as good as a lottery contract).

_ if you talk 'hawk or cajunred or ihate... or any one of my other favorites into ceasing their anti-lsu rants, you and i are going to have a misunderstanding. ['hawk, name the movie re the "going to have a misunderstanding" line---and don't google it] _

Damn dude........I can't place it......not gonna google it for integrity purposes. I give up man....lay it on me....what movie is it?

in the last of the mohicans, when duncan lies about what transpired at the edge of the frontier to keep the settlers at the fort, hawkeye gives him the deadest look you ever saw, and says "i think you and i are going to have a misunderstanding." one of my faves.

now duncan later redeems himself by sacrificing himself for cora, and 'the long carbine' takes him out from long distance to save him from burning at the stake.

michael mann! i'm still one of about 6 people who think manhunter is better than silence of the lambs.

Ive tried so many times to watch that movie because I like Daniel Day Lewis as an actor. Just never had the opportunity. Manhunter is a version of Red Dragon. I liked Manhunter. I also liked Ratner's version of Red Dragon. I don't think you can compare Manhunter and Lambs. Different story. I see what your talking about though. Brian Cox does a great great Hannibal Lecter. As does Anthony Hopkins. Can we both agree that Hannibal was god awful?

I posted this link whenever Crowton was being considered a candidate. It changed my perception of him. This guy hit the nail on the head with his prediction...

[GetTheFacts1st]

I personally think LSU should keep Crowton. I can't speak for him, but Coach Hud might want him to stay at LSU as well. It would certainly make things easier for us on a recruit or two.

The guy kills LA tech and BYU and WHO hires him? The almighty salomi in BR!!! They DESERVE each other.

LSU is not immune to goofs of this magnitude, however..... we had baldwin who had LSU people laughing at us when making THAT hire. And then the hiring of the almighty savior of our track program a few years ago had the WORLD laughing at us. Those are part of the Authement legacy. YUK!

_ I have heard talk of a Jerry Jones like Jumbotron at Tiger Stadium. I don't think they are really in the right state of mind when they make up these rumors. Nor do they really know what one of those monstrosities actually costs. _

Jerry's Jumbo-Tron cost $40 milllion!!!
