The Left Field Lounge....often imitated,

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Never duplicated.
Just had a buddy (AU fan) text me and ask if he could borrow my cowbell. His sons HS football team, Chelsea, AL is trying to make a LFL East so to speak for the baseball teams playoff game tomorrow. A lot of the fball players are backing their trucks up to the LF fence and putting down plywood in the back and going to tailgate before and during the playoff game. Grilling 100 burgers and dogs.
He has been to the LFL with me a couple of times over the yrs and still thinks it's the best thing in college sports!

Tell me you have a back-up cowbell. Tell me you have an ornamental & insignificant one, in addition to those. Tell me that should you actually lend a cowbell to a Plainsman/War Eagle/Tiger that you'll do so under strict provisions: He must utter the words, on record, "17 Pat Dye & Shug Jordan" & admit they bought their mule, Scam.

Then & only then, should he be graced with the opportunity to borrow a small cowbell...the likes of which you buy any other SEC Fan's child as a half joke/half legitimate gift.

Mr. Chairman, I second the motion.

 

[The Peeper]

Motion has a 2nd, all in favor say aye? Opposed same sign? Motion carries. Next on the agenda...........

The dude should be seriously told to go to hell. Let Auburn find their own thing. We should have trademarked the LFL a long time ago. It’s unique to Mississippi State. All Auburn has known all it's life is trying to duplicate big brother to have success.

I went to Dudy Noble vs Arkansas & didn't see one truck anywhere in the outfield.

Nobody says 17 Auburn more than me but if an Alabama high school wants to mimic an MSU tradition.....that seems like a good thing to me.

Oh, it can be duplicated now.

 

[Rebeldude]

It's been duplicated on small scale for years. We did it at Starkville High back in the 90s. They still do it today. Nothing permanent left during the week, but a pickup backed up to the fence with lawn chairs and a grill is exactly how LFL started.

 

[HotMop]

Tell him to throw rocks if they want to start a Historic Tradition.

 

[MaxwellSmart]

Ask him to borrow Cam Newton's.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Actually it started like this

 

[thatsbaseball]

...it was just students and we didn't have any pickups. The cooking and stuff started a few years later. And we didn't park at the fence...we parked at the top of the slope and sat on blankets and towels between the vehicles and the fence. We kept the ice chests in the cars. The City of Starkville was not happy with us at all..being dry back then.

Where are the rigs? I thought had been rigs there since the beginning of time**

In the early 80's when I was a student my parents drove into Dudy Noble a little before the game and backed their car up just like that one in the photo.

I think this pic was the spring of 71.

Wow! So long ago.

I do remember not being happy when State covered up the see-through fence. Sitting and watching the game through the outfield fence was a thing.

I have no problem with our traditions being adopted, or even adulterated, for we will always own the ones in question. My post was about lending a cowbell to an Auburn fan.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Considering Auburn’s coach Shug Jordan was the one that had them banned I think it’s in poor taste that the dude would even ask to borrow it.

 

[G-Dawg]

We played McComb HS when Pete Young was there and they had a bunch of students "replicate" the LFL. I broke up a no-no by Pete with a bunt single in the 5th. My coach told me he feared for my life if I ever came up again. I didn't have a clue at the time what he was talking about. I just thought my job was to get on base. It was that night that I learned you don't do stupid **** like that when someone has a no-no.

 

[Shmuley]

Pete Young struck me out on 3 pitches. I never saw them.
