Trying to decide

on what close sec team I’m going to join up with.   Narrowed down to LSU OR BAMA.  Both close enough to drive to games.  May wait until that clown coach o gets fired this season before going all in.  I just want to watch and cheer good relevant football. Don’t watch that nfl crap so need a fix other than cheering for a d2 team.

Re: Trying to decide

Pull for Bama. They've done as much to support USM football over the years as anyone. Gave USM plenty of checks, "neutral" site games, etcetera. When Giannini took them off the schedule is was just one more example of him completely missing the point.

Re: Trying to decide

Just go to Walmart and thumb through the racks, find a color that complements your complexion. Pretty close to the the women's underwear department so you can lurk around.

Yes they did. I said he'd regret it at the time and my grandpa laughed at me.

One interesting thing about Curley at LSU is that he brought both coordinators from USM, demoted one after a season, and ran off the other one a year later. The dynamic that allowed him to succeed at USM was pretty unique, and it just wasn't there at LSU. Chad Loup was no Favre, for example.

Re: Trying to decide

During Hallman's first season in 1991, several of Hallman's football players were accused of instigating a fight with LSU men's basketball players, including All-American Shaquille O'Neal, in Broussard Hall, LSU's athletic dormitory, two days prior to the Tigers' contest with Mississippi State. LSU started the 1991 season with one-sided losses to Georgia (31–10) and Hallman's alma mater, Texas A&M (45–7), and finished 5–6. The season marked the second time LSU suffered three consecutive losing seasons and the first time since 1954 to 1956.

The 1992 season included being shut out 32–0 by Ole Miss on Halloween, and beaten 30–6 at Arkansas in the season finale, which was the first meeting between the Tigers and the Razorbacks upon Arkansas joining the SEC. The Tigers finished 2–9, still the worst in school history.

In 1993, LSU's centennial football season, the Tigers lost 58–3 to the Florida Gators in Tiger Stadium, the worst loss in school history. Amazingly, just four weeks after that, the Tigers stunned the Alabama Crimson Tide, 17–13, at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, ending the Tide's 31-game unbeaten streak. LSU entered the season finale at 5–5, with a chance at its first bowl bid since the end of the 1988 season. However, the Tigers gave up 412 yards rushing in a 42–24 loss to Arkansas at home.

The beginning of the end for Hallman came on September 17, 1994 at Jordan–Hare Stadium against Auburn. LSU led 23–9 early in the fourth quarter, and the Bayou Bengals were in good position to end Auburn's 13-game winning streak. But LSU quarterback Jamie Howard threw two interceptions that were returned for Auburn touchdowns, tying the game. LSU regained the lead with a field goal, but when the Bayou Bengals were trying to run out the clock, Howard threw his fourth interception of the game, and incredibly, Auburn returned the pick for another touchdown, giving the home team a 30–26 lead. LSU drove into Auburn territory in the game's final minute, but Howard threw his fifth and sixth interceptions on consecutive drives, sealing the win for Auburn. LSU never recovered, and ultimately finished 4-7.

On November 12, LSU lost to Southern Miss 20-18 in front of the smallest Death Valley crowd since 1974 (announced attendance was 51,718, but LSU officials estimated the actual crowd was closer to 40,000). Two days later, LSU athletic director Joe Dean gave Hallman an ultimatum–resign or be fired. When Hallman refused to resign, Dean fired him, though he was allowed to finish out the season. He closed out his career at LSU with a 30-12 win over Arkansas—the Tigers' first regular-season win in the series since 1956. His overall record was 16–28; his winning percentage of .364 is the worst for a non-interim coach in school history.[4] To date, Hallman is the only LSU coach since the formation of the SEC to have never tallied a winning record or coached in a bowl game

Wow did he suck.

I remember it well, from watching WWL-TV report on the fight to listening to that USM game on the radio. And yeah... I remember a whole lot of irate commentary about Jamie Howard. He had his ups and downs, but that Auburn game wasn't the only time he played like an ass.

Re: Trying to decide

I was at that game too. 40,000 fans?? Maybe. I remember getting on my knees on the bench in front of me hoping Lafleur would miss their last second field goal attempt and going crazy after he hooked it to the left. To this day I still don't know if one of our defenders blocked a piece of it or not. Some say it was.

Re: Trying to decide

Jeff was told by his boss 2 years previous that the donors were getting pissed his offenses were so vanilla and to open the offense up. He didn't. He got canned. He admitted a couple years later at gathering he made mistakes.

I was wondering the same thing. Supposedly they offered to "promote" him. He should have taken them up on that. At that point we needed more than a head coach to get over the next hill anyway.

Re: Trying to decide

He was given every chance to get the ship moving and he didn't get it done. He was given a choice to resign or get fired. Did you want Giannini to give him a fucking hug or something? I find these comments ignorant. This is how it's done.

Re: Trying to decide

He had taken us as far as he could and we became stagnant while other cusa programs started leaving us behind. Typical USM, we reacted too late and got left in the dust. Don't get me wrong, his employment was only part of us getting left in the dust.
