I lurked for a long time before joining… I’m sure I joined way back 20 years ago because of something stupid Les Miles did. .

Watch Abraham Lincoln on Netflix. May change your mind. Wanted to free slaves and offer to relocate them to Central \ South America. Black leaders in the north of course were outraged with Lincoln.
The healthcare comment is ridiculous. Alexandria has Cabrini Hospital which is part of the CHRISTUS network of hospitals and Rapides regional hospital. Both are top notch.

Several good elem schools like Peabody Montessori, Nachman, Cherokee, Paradise in Ball, Caroline Dorman in Woodworth, JI Barron in Pineville…

Bolton converting to an Academy is getting better. I personally know the new Principal and he will continue to make it better…ASH, Pineville, and Tioga are all A schools. Rural schools such as Rapides, Oak Hill, Northwood are solid B schools.

Several good neighborhoods. Lake District, Landmark, Tenneyson Oaks, Charles Park, Westpointe…all in Alexandria. Pineville has several new developing areas.

Restaurants are Spirits, Verona, Ballinos, Diamond Grill, Tunks, Trios, Rosie Jo’s and several crawfish type restaurants….and chain restaurants like Walkon’s, OliveGarden, Outback, etc
Well information was good. There was contact and communication, and money was mentioned, but I think it was from hHawsey’s side. Maybe LSU wasn’t going to pay what he wanted and it fell through at last minute. Apologies

re: LSU gets another outfielder

So Mascona was right for a change?
No I’m not sure at all. Was damn sure two weeks ago, but now not so much. I do know LSU kicked the tires on him and there was money discussed, maybe from his camp and not LSU. I just hope he doesn’t go to Old Mrs and makes us regret.
Not sure how long you’ve been in Tiger droppings but Eduardo Perez has been talked about extensively here for years and the consensus for most everyone is he’s terrible. Why they continue to trot him out for college baseball is a mystery.
If we need an outfielder, why not move Braun to right field and sign Kawsey? Solidify two positions.
I’m a baseball purest about this and this is a pet peeve of mine. If you’re the visiting team, you need to be wearing gray… Either gray on gray or gray pants with school color. Ridiculous that they both wearing orange/red and white pants. The NCAA steps in with football, why don’t they do it with baseball?
And just think, if it was 2020, they would be famous for dying of Covid
Can we sign the first base too?… What a hell of a stretch
Already in for LSU. Money has been agreed upon. He will be a tiger….
You should hit the portal… Have another down vote
So are we a tiger or a bear…I know tiger bear
My son went to college for one semester dropped out and said “Dad, I think I wanna go and be a lineman”..Went to lineman school... Three years later, he’s making more money than I did being 15 years in my profession.

What bothers me so much about this year was the evaluation for guys in the portal. We have some players that were on the roster (freshman and couple of players that wound up transferring) that Jay overlooked in favor of some portal additions. How can you look at York and believe he was SEC caliber? What is the evaluation of pitchers from the portal? Many of them were a miss. Simpson was equally as bad. My concern is a repeat of talent (portal) evaluation.
