I’m in B/R for a few weeks. Was looking for a good burger place to try & bumped into TD’s debate via a 2023 post.

This type of information is where TD really shines. Both resourceful and informative.

I saw someone mention Judice Inn, which I recognized as a place in Lafayette. Maybe they had one in B/R as well. Whatever the case, I lived in Lafayette for 7-years or so, from 1977 to 1983. Personally, I was never impressed by Judice inn but understand how many others feel differently.

IMHO, hands down the best burger & fries I ever had anywhere were the ones from the Brass Rail in Lafayette during the timeframe mentioned above.

My 2 cents worth as for burgers in B/R (and other cities where these chains operate), I’m very impressed with:
*Walk-Ons;
*Twin Peaks;
* Most any Marriott owned facility where they serve food;
The Chimes (I think that’s the place by the golf course close to downtown, right!!!)
*Georges (which was the place under the bridge to my understanding)…….

Man, what I wouldn’t give for a late 70’s Rail Burger and those homemade fries!!!

Man, all the hostility on W. Wade vs McMahon!

I kinda like to go with the “fan of LSU” vs. any 1 coach.

WW may be the better fundamentals coach, but he sure shite the bed on how he handled other aspects that go along with being a good BB coach!!! Such as: how to handle recruiting nuts & bolts while on your gott-damm cell phone. That’s all part of the job too. And there was no secret the NCAA was hot & heavy on the trail of the “handler” when WW was having his infamous phone conversations.

At the end of the day, I’ll go with the present coach. I didn’t like the Ed Orgeron hire. And still wish I could’ve been a fly on the wall when his agent asked for the obligatory contract clause: “If I win a National Championship, I want to be the highest paid coach in the SEC”! Don’t ya know the LSU reps were having hell not busting out in laughter!!! And the guy puts together the greatest college football team of all times. (In fact, our last 2 FB Natty’s were put together by 2 of the biggest boobs in the annals of NCAA football. But I’ll take em. And am thankful for the coaches that were at the helm when they occurred)!

True. And even since 1981’s loss to Indiana, there’s been at least 3-4 others (and maybe more) where LSU BB team lost to ultimate National champions. 2 that come to mind would be Louisville in 1986 and N. Carolina in what, 2007/8! (The dreaded 8th seed awarded to ranked team who won the SEC regular season title, “BY A LOT”!!! Still pissed about that. And we were the only team to scare N/C in the tourney that year!)

And consider, even before the shocking pick as the 1st running back taken in the 1st round, he was routinely graded ahead of Cam Akers.

I wasn’t an Ed O. hater by any means, but had my doubts. One of the most impressive statements he ever made concerned the Akers/Etiene debacle that wasn’t, where Coach O. had the humility to admit they played that situation wrong. But ended with the statement: “...however, I wouldn’t trade my group of running backs for any in the country...”, or somn such as that. The obvious emphasis being on CEH’s stellar season.

Phuc Akers and Etienne both.

CEH’s contribution to the magic that was LSU football 2019 can never be overstated. He’s an Emmitt Smith clone and then some.

Well I gotta settlement check for $250,000.00 some time back with a good p/I lawya. The money was nice and all but it won’t bring my tooth back!!!

That was a skit from SNL back in the late 80’s/early 90’s. shite that was funny. Sad, but funny.

At about the 9:00 minutes left mark of 2nd half last Monday. I looked at my son and said “I think they’ve given up”! Talking about Clemson. I think we had the ball then.

But I was extremely worried at the 17-7 juncture and again at the 2nd half after they promptly held us; scored not only a convincing TD; but, the 2 point conversion as well!!!

Unbelievable; just unbelievable the team we had. And all that fell into place this year with damn near everything and everybody (getting Ingrahm back mid season and Divinity for the Ch. game. Not to say of CEH and #6 on offense!)

Spot on man. Somebody with the know how an inroads to LSU football (and the university as a whole) should get this idea on the drawing board!!!

Excellent post and discussion. And very relevant to many of us.

Like another poster, gonna use the 2003 Arkansas game as a corollary.

I went with a group of people who had tickets but I didn’t. Figured I could find a loose one at stadium for reasonable $$$!

Found one, but it was not easy. Was just happy to get in.

As I told my friend's when we met back up after the game “...my seat was great for 2 reasons:

1. I never had to hear someone yell ‘down in front’ and

2. I had a nice back-rest, even more so than the chair-backed seats”!!!

Seat was top row on the visitors side upper deck And I’ve not the slightest regret.

The historical nature of the situation calls for an exception to normalcy.

My father went to Super Bowl III all by himself. That was probably the 1st one where a ticket was a hard find.

Anyone who says no to the question is weird!

Is he from Illinois (Illi-noise)!

Yep Does that mean that he is not really good? How quickly we forget what a Jalen Hurts lead team did to LSU in Baton Rouge very recently

This all the more reason to play Oklahoma. We need to “slay this demon” just as we needed to beat Alabama (vs say, backing into a playoff spot or SEC Championship game by virtue of a tiebreaker scenario)

We need to put a smack down on a J. Hurts as we owe him some payback too!!!
