The Opelousas city council voted Tuesday to rename Jefferson Street for Opelousas native and former LSU and current Saints' wide receiver Devery Henderson.
The street is 17 blocks long.

re: Does Tiger Band march in NOLA parades?
Posted by Bayou Bengal 72 on 2/15/10 at 9:45 am
Over the years (thru 1997 my last Mardi Gras before moving from N.O.) the LSU Band has marched in Bacchus several times usually in front of or behind the King's float. And I do remember the Tiger Band in Rex at least once....

Fletch tries too hard to be funny which he really isn't. Ben and JJ Marshall were at least naturally funny and played off of each other pretty well. They weren't LSU shills and would give props to LSU reluctantly when they did well.
I hope they land another slot somewhere on the Shareveport dial....

[quote]And Bama fans are trying to say that Jones touched the ball while he was out of bounds, thereby making PP out of bounds? Jones' hand is inches away from the ball when PP snags it. It's not even close.[/quote]
They are basing this on a rule that says if a ball touches anything out-of-bound...

[quote]There are people in Shreveport that would actually prefer to watch the Cowboys over the Saints? Is there anyone in Shreveport not from Louisiana, and if so, why?[/quote]
Unfortunatly there are a lot of Cowboy fans in S'port. Many from the era when the Saints were 'aints and the Cowboys we...

The Sugar Bowl would most probably take the higher ranked SEC team. But there is a section in the BCS Selection procedure that allows two BCS bowls to trade if a team will go to the same bowl for a second year in a row. And if Florida plays Texas in the BCSCG then the Sugar will select 1st followed ...

Actually, the Grantland Rice Bowl wasn't in Tiger Stadium but in some smaller stadium in Baton Rouge and I don't believe it was Southern's Stadium either. It was over 35 years ago so I can't remember the name but it was most definitely not Tiger Stadium....

[b]The Sugar Bowl is a New Orleans institution[/b] founded in 1934 but the idea had been promoted since 1927, before the SEC was founded. And in the 1970's when the SEC Champion kept getting shut out of three of the four major New Year's Day bowls (Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton) because those bowl...
re: What was your first game to attend?
Posted by Bayou Bengal 72 on 10/16/09 at 2:34 pm
My first game was against Texas A&M back in either 1961 or 62 when my whole family went from New Orleans. Then on New Years Day 1965, I was serving mass and as it ended the priest turned to me and the other altar boy and said pick a number between 1 and 4, so I said 4 and then he told the other guy...

I was a kid when Billy Cannon was a Tiger but I remember a quote that described him as "either the strongest sprinter or the fastest shot putter" they had ever seen.
I would name mid-1930's LSU football player and track star Jack Torrance who held the shot put world record for almost fourteen yea...

A lot of posters on other boards call Les stupid. But I think Les is smart, balanced and tough. He did what was necessary when he dropped the only experienced QB he had. He and the team paid for it all last season but I can't fault him for the decision. I'm glad he's our coach and hope he is for a...

Texas has 1 BCS Championship and no other attempts
LSU and Florida each have 2 BCS Championships in 2 tries.
With our disappointing season last year (Thanks, Ryan!) I...

re: Tulane fans reminiscing about a win over LSU 35 years ago...
Posted by Bayou Bengal 72 on 1/29/09 at 3:21 pm
I was at that game, my first LSU-TU game since graduating from LSU in Dec 1972. The TU fans were very obnoxious about the win.
And the little TU sh*ts comment about the "only LSU bumper stickers uptown were on pool cleaners and gardeners" is so typical of the attitude of the N.O. Tulane fan. Wh...
