Heard an interview of a sports writer from Sports Illustrated in NY who was asked where he would have liked to have been today based on recruitment success, school spirit, college atmosphere, fan base, etc., His answer was Baton Rouge....LSU?????????????
What was that about?

because no one would want to come to the hick state of tennessee. duh.

**GAVol** · 02-02-2005, 08:34 PM

Do you think it could possibly have the slightest to do with the start of Mardi Gras?????

I think I'd rather be near LSU too!!

**vols2345** · 02-02-2005, 08:35 PM

hmmmmm forgot all about that. better go get my beads.

AHHHH, yep, I think you have it GAVOL....forgot about that ole Mardi Gras....I just could not believe it really had anything to do with the recruitment day.....
Thanks for the clarification!!

Forget LSU . . . let's go check out the Tulane campus about right now!!!

I am fairly sure that Tulane ROCKS about this time.....I would say they were not tuned in today to recuirtment sucess/failure....too busy!!!!

Man, the whole state of Louisiana outside of 'Nawlins and Baton Rouge sounds like a pretty crappy place to me.

**vols2345** · 02-02-2005, 08:55 PM

its nothing but swamps.

**milohimself** · 02-02-2005, 08:57 PM

Still, Mardi Gras....

The delta is one of the poorest areas in the U.S.

**vol_freak** · 02-02-2005, 09:18 PM

I heard a guy who was at the LSU signing party today. There was over 2000 LSU fans there. Sounds like a pretty wild time.

I've been to Nawlins three times and that was three times too many for me.

You can really include those two, as well. . . . .except 'Nawlins between the hours of 8 PM and 4 AM. And that's just because you don't notice how bad it is with all the people and Hurricanes to disguise the scene.

hehe, I was watching this one show on PBS about dialects around the country, and when they got around to LA, it was like "Here are some Frenchies. They talk all wierd-like."
