Re: Alabama's BCS Football Trophy Shattered

As many people handles the "crystal ball" looking at it..I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often..As long as it's unsecured..There's a chance it could happen..

Personally I think we should give all the shattered pieces of the crystal ball..To the LSU Nation..For shattering their dreams in the NC Game..Just seems the right thing to do..

Re: Alabama's BCS Football Trophy Shattered

No, it was Prothro's injury...
It must vary. The one I saw looked like a Florida QB getting sacked. I thought the fuss might have been the image behind the three others, which looked like someone dressed in an elephant costume. It was so small that I couldn't tell. I sure couldn't make out Prothro anywhere.

I couldn't make up Prothro initially, but it's definitely him. The other photo was definitely Updyke.

It's definitely Prothro. Like I said, I've seen several screen savers and wallpapers with that very pic included among several other Alabama photos. It is as if whoever made the wallpapers did not realize what the picture was actually of.

Who knows if Freek knew, but he's never seemed like the kind to miss any detail. Which makes this all the more disappointing.

Yep, you guys are right, it's Prothro. Now I agree, totally tasteless.

Re: Alabama's BCS Football Trophy Shattered

I just saw this post by LSUFreek on TD..Giving an explanation for using the Prothro pic..Still a bad use of a metapor IMO..

"Sorry. It was only intended as a similar "Bama Bad Break" metaphor, not a laugh at Prothro"..

Funny, I didn't see any apology from him on the fark board over there.

No longer an LSUfreek fan.
