re: BDS nickname

Being born in New Orleans and a graduate of LSU, I can only say that the person who put down BDS is full of crap. When I went to LSU, Bama played every home game at Legion Field. BDS was a very small stadium back in the seventies. I'll be honest and tell you what I really feel about this entire thread. I married a girl from a whole in the wall place in Alabama called Millerville. Since she owns a store in Wetumpka, I'm stuck here. First of all BDS makes Tiger Stadium look like a shite hole. What was a very small stadium, metamorphsed itself as one of the best looking and largest stadiums in the country. As far as culture goes, south La. has Alabama beat, but north La. is just like it is here in Al. In case some of you stupid posters don't realize, Mobile has restaurants that are on par with what you find in Baton Rouge. Mardi Gras originated in Mobile and New Orleans turned what was supposed to be a family oriented event into something that is X rated. People here have an accent like Jeff Foxworthy and the minute that I open my mouth up here the people correctly guess that I'm from New Orleans. Like they say, a native New Orleanlian sounds like a person from Boston. As far as hunting goes, Bama has La. beat by a mile when it comes to deer. Fishing and the rest of the outdoors definitely belongs to La. Most people that I know here go down to the La. coast to fish. Look people, both states have a lot to offer and I can honestly say that I was ashamed to be from New Orleans when the national media focused on the dregs of society in New Orleans. I honestly love both states but when it comes to crime, New Orleans is in a class by itself. Being ranked number one in crime in America doesn't surprise me one bit. I'll never forget that when I lived in New Orleans about twenty something years ago, a woman was raped in St. Dominicks Catholic Church on Harrison Blvd. in Lakeview.
