Paul Finebaum on Cleveland sports radio today

I need a couple shots before I try to read this. My goodness.

Doing blow before you post?

BR isn't redneck. Kelly is a pro. He will do fine.

LSU is a better program than Ohio State. We have more natty’s in modern college football. The browns suck as usual. Deal with it.

Just win baby!

While you're "dissing " BR and the South, where ere you 14 years ago today????

The SEC is good. LSU is good + Hot Sauce + Soul + French Culture and Passion. PF needs to get out more and get a life and/or toupee.

I’m from alabama, my husband is from Baton Rouge. When we go to visit family I definitely get a different vibe down there. It’s very different from anywhere else in the country, not just the south. I think it says more about YOU that you can’t pick up on that vibe. Guessing you are pretty lame.

South Louisiana was settled from the coast in by the French and Spanish, the latter of which allowed a variety of immigrants to settle in Louisiana, including may Irish, Germans, and Italians. They were mostly Catholic and eventually nearly all spoke French.

North Louisiana (with the exception of Natchitoches) was settled by Americans moving west from the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia. They were mostly Protestant and spoke English.

Even the slave population of the regions was distinctly different, as they mirrored the European settlers.

So yes, Louisiana south of Alexandria is culturally unique compared to the rest of the South. This is why there is an "Upper South", "Lower or Deep South", and "Gulf Coast Region". Baton Rouge does, however, had a bit of influence from the Piney Woods region of Mississippi.
