Hey TE, you are dead wrong!! Kelly, Coach O's wife does not have family in La. She is from Arkansas and she is not the one who was so adamant about staying in La.. Also, Bobby Hebert and coach O are friends, but they are not very close anymore and haven't been for a couple of years. I for one, am not at all happy about Chavis either. He is a career DC but his style of coaching is not going to please us in the Bayou. Sorry to shoot down your "source", but it sucks!!!!!!!!!!

Yes we attended the year they had Robert Earl Keen,Junior Brown,Marsha Ball & the Taranchalas
We really like the Czhilispiel in Flatonia- Its alot cheaper and less crowded, you can come and go as you please and they have had some purty good entertainment Bruce Robinson,Kevin Fowler etc etc. We have some friends that do the cookoff- its a blast- sampling all the different stuff.
Earl Cambell was there, I think he has the key to the city, nice guy
Schelenburg has a purty good festival too, seen Pat Green at that one, there were probably 5,000 college aged girls at that one.
The best small town festival is Praha Tx- its really laid back- cold beer, sausage and accordian music

Your're right--I would do the same (re. standing up for your state).

As for the Ol' Ball Coach as HC @ UGA?

I can only shudder at the thought....

GO GATORS!!

Thx TG. I guess the whole "pathetic little souls in Louisiana" kinda puts me on the defensive. Just tryin to represent my man. Our state definitely has it's fair share of problems but it's ours and if nobody stands up for the little bit of good we do have, then it's time to turn out the lights. You would do the same, I'm sure. And rightly so.

I do see some with the "burn in hell" mentality though....especially concerning Saban. I just don't subscribe to it. Like it or not, he's the one who built the program up to national prominence. Some will never admit that but IMO, it's true.

So yall still love some Spurrier after the way he left? Wasn't aware that he got that kinda love when he steps foot back in da Swamp. Would he get the same love if he would've ending up in Gawja? Hard to say. TWLOCP would take on a whole new meaning....lol.

GT:

Sure, FL has more than its share of swamp lan' 'n 'skeeters...perhaps even more than LA...and, we have more than our share of 'necks 'n hey-seeds....as for the dialiect--didn't give it a whole lotta' thought-I figured if I worked the "where y'at" in there, I could take some liberties with the rest.

FWIW: one of my brothers graduated from Tulane, and I had quite a few friends who attended Tulane and Loyala; so I've visited NO/LA many times, and I like the fine folk of LA just fine.

I was mainly just pokin' fun at the appearance that when someone leaves or snubs LSU (e.g. Saban)--a "burn in hell" mentality seems to develop amongst the Tiger faithful (by contrast: Spurrier left UF--high n dry at that--gets the standing O treatment when he returns to UF, even as coach of a rival).

So no disrespect inteneded; just hav'n fun here.

Isn't there also some land-mark located in NC. I think it's name begins with the words "Great Dismal". I'm bett'n uze gize will find a mosquito or 2 in there. But the accents of the local natives is closer to that of Jimmy Carter's. (I spoze all of em could be peanut farmers...)

"swampy little mosquito infested state ???"

Thank God Florida doesn't have swamps and mosquito's. LOL

You acuse Louisianians of:
"...and along come the insutls, the rumors, the inuendo, the slieghts...

But just prior to that, you do exactly what you acuse us of......lmao.
""...hwut? wheere ya' at???... you wanna' leee-uuhhvuh?!?!?? why--them thar's fight'n words, you sumbeeaacccchh..."

Pot....meet kettle.

And I don't know anyone who talks like that in South Louisiana. There's a big difference in the dialects of rednecks and cajuns.

And I wouldn't say it's taken personally, at least not by me. I would've loved for him to come to LSU because I, like you and I'm sure most on here, want in state talent to remain just that...in state. He made his decision and that's that. The sun will come up tomorrow and life will go on, with or without Coach O.

Did you ever notice right at the beginning of the video, he's got his head on a swivel? Does he think another Hummer is going to tackle him like Jack "The Assassin" Tatum or something?

WEA-WEA? (We used to call my son Jo-Jo when he was younger, so that threw me for a loop when Coach O said that at the end.)

LOL...We'll see how you think about that come fall...

The guy had the #4 defense in America last year...and you're glad he's gone...

9 times out of 13 he had a defense in the Top 3 in the Conference...and you're glad he's gone...

Nice one...

LOTS of head scratchers, this offseason...

Orgeron to LSU, then to Tennessee instead...

Willis flirting with LSU, while ultimately staying at Auburn, THEN spurning Auburn for the bucks at 'Bama?

I think Nick paid him-BIGTIME-to be able to recruit Mobile. Lance was his big dog there, and he needed to have that Red Eleaphant Ca$h...err...Club being able to help him do his bidding down there...

Then, Lance Thompson pulled the stunner on Nick like Tom Cruise in "The Firm"...If that guy EVER gets a dime dropped on him, I'm telling you now, look for James R. Hoffa's body to get dug up in Paul Bryant Jr's backyard, with DNA evidence linking his pappy to the killing...

You can't find a more accurate description of a situation to apply the cliche, "He knows where the bodies are buried" to Lance Thompson & Alabama...

Their recruiting is going to suffer-BIGTIME-because of what Lance knows...

Always interesting in the SEC...I'm just worried about the situations and hijinks harkening back to the old days of the SWC...

Not that kind of Hummer, Zac. This kind of Hummer. (You're in danger of TampaGator getting offended and giving you a talking to.)

Hmmm... TB, I'm thinking your comment is more suited to the "Cocks" thread.

OxAn, some people don't come to realize their best destiny until it's too late. At least in college football, provided you're exceptional at one thing or another, you've a shot at getting a second chance. I just hope he's come to grips with this being his best destiny, because there may not be many more chances for the man. As for Lane & Monte, no one can say they don't know how to pick their staff.
