Old Is Good.
Ole War Skule is especially good.
Feed the deduct box and keep calm, y'all.

The savannah bananas may have been the best team to play in Autzen stadium this year

@RobOviatt1 That is a terrific story, Rob. Thanks for sharing. And a good reminder LSU and Ole Miss fans have much in common when we put down our rivalry blinders for a bit.

It is October 25. Oregon State was on five AP Poll ballots. Oregon wasn't on any.

@TimBrando Watching now for the first time. The Mark Alcorn story alone is worth tuning in for. Not ashamed to say my eyes watered throughout. NCAA truly heartless.

[Tim Brando @TimBrando]

Here’s the Film that’s been discussed released 14 yrs. ago. I was flattered to be part of this documentary and just like the legend was, he addressed everything head on! If you loved College Basketball and ya wanted to know him? This the true story of this caring man that used his platform as a Winning Nationally renowned man that never stopped helping others. https://t.co/Mf9xCNx2YB

For my Oregon State fans…No Natty Guy never gets old….he just makes his appearance a little earlier this season. 🤣

LSU has recently lost arguably two of the most transformative coaches in its illustrious athletic history, and college athletics. Skip Bertman and Dale Brown were men of vision and conviction. They were “belief before evidence” to their core. They barn stormed the entire State of Louisiana in building their programs, and changed the perception of what people thought they could ever become. Great coaches, and two of the best people you’ll ever meet. I was honored to know both while at LSU, and each signed their book for me. I am a lucky man.

My heart is broken for the 2nd time in the last 2 months…..we’ve lost another @LSU legend….the man that took @LSUBasketball to a different place during his time as the Head Coach. He changed my life and touched countless people. Coach Dale Brown….I love you coach. RIP #DaddyDale #4everLSU

[Brer Tiger @BrerTiger]

@TimBrando @espn @finebaum Very well said, Tim. Dale was tough, fair but had a huge heart and genuine care for all he met. He and Skip are the only LSU coaches I ever met in person. It hurts to lose them both but warms my heart to see both get every bit of the accolades they deserve.

[Gator Analytics @gatadata88]

Which SEC stadiums are toughest to play in at night?

Two approaches:

- How much visiting offenses fall below their expected yards per play.

- How many additional wins the home team earned vs ranked visitors compared to the Elo expectations.

Both measures put Death Valley at the top (i hate that but it is what it is)

@gatadata88 @PabloEscoburner Data don’t lie. Respect the Swamp too.

Man, I hope Sankey doesn’t boot Ole Miss out of the conference. They are probably in the clear so long as they didn’t steal from kids with cancer.

[Pat Forde @ByPatForde]

Of note in the Ole Miss infractions case: "Booster 5" from a previous case (football, Hugh Freeze Era) was disassociated in 2018 ... but never actually disassociated himself, and Ole Miss kept accepting his money from under a different business name.

He's been disassociated for real now. From the report:

"(T)he institution was required to disassociate Booster 5 from November 1, 2018, through October 31, 2021. By letter dated November 26, 2018, the institution informed Booster 5 of the disassociation terms, including that the institution could not accept financial assistance or contributions to any of its athletics programs from Booster 5 or any of his business interests.
While members of the athletics department and athletics foundation were advised not to accept
financial contributions from Booster 5 because of the infractions penalties, the institution did not effectively implement the prohibition on accepting financial contributions from Booster 5’s business interests when its athletics foundation accepted payments from a business interest that was not associated with the prior case. As a result, during the disassociation period, Booster 5 continued to make financial contributions to the institution’s athletics foundation that were related
to premium seating at the institution’s athletics events. In total, the institution’s athletics foundation accepted 18 impermissible financial contributions for its athletics program, summing to $109,240 from the business interest of Booster 5."

“Yes indeed, I loved them Tigers”

We will always remember the impact Dale Brown had in his 25 years as the all-time winningest coach in program history.

[Brer Tiger @BrerTiger]

@Cauble @DSports24 @C_Hanagriff @JimmyOtt1045 Lots of kids in the 70s have backyard rims because of Daddy Dale canvassing the state repping the game and LSU

[Michael Cauble @Cauble]

Ricky Blanton made a great point to me today, Dale Brown was the original brand ambassador for LSU.

Long before marketing and social media, Brown was creating relationships that promoted his program and his commitment to people.

Special thanks to @C_Hanagriff and @JimmyOtt1045 for their help today remembering coach Dale Brown #LSU
