In other SEC West news, controversial long-time LSU head coach Jose Merlino has mercifully decided that the game has evolved beyond his talents. He is retiring to spend more time being mediocre at something else.
And with the departures of Robert Pappalardo, Johnny Hall, and Roger Merkle, eternal OL stalwarts for the Tigers, along with woefully underappreciated punter Ronald Hill, the LSU backbone has been broken. Kenneth Rogers and Eddie Stowell are also gone off to the pros, meaning that Herbert Grammar is left as the lone remaining original LSU player. They all deserved better.
The guard has been changed, and hopefully a sunnier future is in store for whoever is left.
