    A University of Alabama freshman is accused of calling in a bomb threat at LSU's Tiger Stadium during the LSU-Florida game Saturday night.

    Connor Bruce Croll, 19, of Crozet, Virginia, was arrested and jailed Sunday as a "fugitive from justice." He faces unspecified charges in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    Well, Florida was involved, and a man was involved... I'm just gonna do bad math, as there's nowhere else to put this. It's not weird news, not after Brian Downing (teabagged an LSU teen) and Harvey Updyke (poisoned Auburn's trees).

    According to a police affidavit obtained by WBRZ in Baton Rouge, Croll told police that he called in a bomb threat during the Tigers' 42-28 win because a friend was "on the verge of losing a large bet."​


    When I was 8 or 9, I was at a DII football game that had a bomb threat phoned in. They announced it over the PA, and maybe 60% of the fans left. The game went on.

    We stayed. It was 1969 or '70 and, as anyone who has read Nixonland would know, bombings were a regular occurance. And that actual bombers who planted actual bombs never phoned up a threat first.

    I can't view the link on the previous page (EU restrictions), but whatever made Auria chant the Farmers insurance theme context-free is a win for me.

    Actually, the context was in the post above that one. The dog drove over a neighbor's mailbox and damaged somebody else's property as well.
    I don't really like to edit posts after the 5 minute mark...

    The question I recall in such circumstances is "did the dinosaurs build Stonehenge?"

    My dad used to bring stuff home over the weekend for me to work on- a nicer microscope than what you get in a kids' biology kit, blank slides, covers, the stuff you make slides with. Little stuff like fruit flies and yuge earthworms and a couple of frogs, but no human parts, no.

    Maybe one of you Florida critters can answer me this. You get what...3 or 4 hurricanes every year that causes a run on plywood for every single one. What happens to the plywood in between storms? :confused:

    Up North It's snow blowers and generators. :unsure:
