what part of LA would you call “home”?

Bucktown. Lived there for most of my pre-high school years.

Spent some time in Thibodeaux. Have cast the net for shrimp and dropped some turkey legs for some crabs down there a good bit. Also where my I learned to knee board. My grandmother was from down da bayou there.

thank you sir.

now that we’ve switched formats it’s a LOT less work.
so were hoping to do more during baseball season than we have in the past.

Is that forum still up?

I keep forgetting to register but want to get in there for baseball season.

yessir.

most of us from there have a group chat so forum isn’t as active as it once was.

but we have game threads for every baseball and football game.
and the site has a chat feature that gets rolling during all football and most big baseball games.

Slidell is a strange place.
but Maine would a tough sell sir someone this far South.

Gorgeous scenery from what i’ve seen in pics.
but i don’t do cold very well.

Well, you better get out all your cold weather camo hunting gear before next week then bc it’s going to be either icy or fluffy white even down there.

Are you an imposter? You can’t be a serious LSU fan and talk about tomatoes in gumbo.

Aaaaand we're off!

Can we get the Bayou cousin love section moved to another thread. There needs to be some texas and ryan day hate spewed in this thread. I mean we have a huge thread about Ped State that can be used….Jeesh.

Just kidding. My mom was raised in Slidell during WWII. :)

Ive always been good with Buckeyes. LSU fans pretty much only care about LSU. It’s the only true college team in the state so it’s a fandom of state love.
Kelly is currently on fan probation. We have a ton of good talent next year that he’s going to need to do very well with.

But would you trade him for Marcus freeman? Asking for a friend.

My grandfather played for Tulane, my dad for LSU and my brother played for a D2 school. I was just the female child raised on football. Dad taught me the game from a very early age using a chess board.

Is that what they think chess boards are for in Louisiana?

Need more girls like that in Boise. I can't tell you how many attempts have been made to drag me to a farmer's market or a hike while college football was on, finding a girl that actually likes football is like finding a needle in a haystack.

But I digress. I want Jack and JT (and any blitzer we send) to make life unbearable for Ewers. He is a talent, but when he really takes a hit he tends to shrink and start making bad decisions. I'm confident in stopping the run, we just need to get Ewers uncomfortable right out of the gate. The secondary is really, really stepping it up and it makes me comfortable sending 5 damn near every play. Hell, even Iggy managed to keep his hands to himself in coverage and I thought I would never see the day.

On offense, the Texas DL is pretty damn good from what I have seen...but our OL has really rose to the occasion and Jackson is absolutely dominant at LT right now. Siereveld and Montgomery are really holding down fort at LG. I haven't noticed any drop off at center with Hinzman. Then the right side of the OL has been steady, not elite but getting the job done for a majority of the snaps. But aside from the OL-DL battle, we just simply need the same aggressive play calling we've seen the last two games. Nobody can stop #4 and we'll need to keep feeding him and sprinkling in some Egbuka/Tate/Innis like we have been. Then the big run plays will present themselves.

I will say that being a #8 seed was not ideal on paper but man do we get some awesome matchups. Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and if we win one of PSU/ND. It would be fitting to complete that title run. First national champ in the 4 team playoff, then first national champ in a 12 team playoff...not to get ahead of ourselves but it has crossed my mind and I truly believe it will happen if we play like we did the first two games.
