To the fans of LSU and other sports teams,
Harry T's has upset many LSU fans and I want to first apologize. It was not our intention to insult alienate or upset you. I would like to explain the reasoning behind the actions we took on Saturday.
Four college teams have approached us to be the "headquarters" of their alumni. The deal was we host their teams and they would bring all the alumni and all the business. And so we do, but it's not as black and white as that. As the General Manager, the one who worries about the bottom line, it's poor business practice. The football discounts are not profitable or the restaurant and all of the inside area is taken with the fans. So why do we do it? The owner has raised two young men who both attend college. He is a major contributor to their college and has a lot of respect for young people trying to do well. On these football days we raise money for scholarships for the respective schools. We have raised over $31,000 to date.
The Florida Gators were concerned with actions of one individual last Saturday. One bad apple that tried to give all of LSU a bad name. That individual had threatened to send unknown persons in to physically attack some Gator fans. It was the president of the Gator Alumni that asked if we would keep the inside area for Gator fans only. We went next door to Jackacuda's and let them know we would send all the LSU fans there. Everyone could enjoy their teams.
Anyone, football or not was welcome to sit on the patio outside. The weather was beautiful and it was sans any Gator activity. We have several guests wearing LSU garb enjoying their meals there. Non one that I spoke to was upset about the limitations on the seating area.
Nick responded to one guest who was apparently treated poorly at tithe door Saturday night. This was, and is no, part of his responsibilities within the restaurant. He was an overzealous new manager, he has been since reprimanded and is no longer a manager at Harry T's. The part of his letter about trepidation over LSU fans was completely false. In fact, the owner's wife is from Louisiana and is herself an LSU fan.
Again, I apologize to Don and any LSU fans we may have ostracized. It has always been our intention to do good with the football games; raise money for kids and let everyone have fun. Everyone is welcome at Harry T's.

Most restaurants outside of Louisiana feel this way on football Saturday's.

Really? Your fanbase is the most backwoods, uneducated, sister fricking group in all of the SEC.

So the only part that made LSU fans look bad was a lie. All that's left is the weakness of Florida fans not being able to handle opposing fans cheering against their gators.
I need the crying guy in here stat. We got a live one.

I used to work part time as a maintenance/handyman of sorts at the library when I was a student at OM. Whenever we would host LSU, they would have me move all of the golf carts and other vehicles the library used to an off campus lot. LSU were the only home games they would ever ask me to do this for. Always cracked me up.

Didn't some gay bar ban an aTm alumni chapter for being too flamboyant?

That is ridiculous. Have you been to most restaurants outside LA on football Saturdays?
Posted on 10/21/15 at 8:29 pm to OBReb6
Good idea. Auburn should have banned open flames.

Do you really want to compare how LSU fans act and how Alabama fans act?
