This is some despicable shite to even type. There are other cases of similar tweets. Its obvious trolling by a bullshite Ole Miss account. but hopefully the security detail has been maxed

That article didnt really say much. Just more bullshite

DAR DAR

The South Lafayette, Maurice, Youngsville, Broussard erea is, in my opinion, the single best area to live in the entire state. the cajun culture is strong due to proximity to Vermilion Parish. Great demographics, low crime, pretty great schools, heavily republican. The food is unreal. Don't plan on ever leaving.

If Lafayette to you means you never ventured past the I10 area, UL campus, anything north or west of Johnston street, then you understandably think its like any other shite hole in Louisiana and you should spread the word.

Because South Lafayette is growing increasingly fast.


Oh and if you REALLY want good cajun food, Cajun Table and Pinchers are incredible.

Warren Nolan predicts 49-7.

Im gunna go with 45-11 regular season. undefeated in nonconference

Its an obvious pick but Curiel is who im most excited to watch this year.

The kid's raw instincts and natural talent for baseball shined last year. and while he was physically limited as a freshman. He showed a rare level of calm and control on the mental side of things.

I am SO looking forward to seeing the physical tools and strength/burst start to catch up to the mental prowess. We could be watching one of the LSU greats.

Obviously theres been alot of 2019 LSU vs Indiana discourse lately. Reddit, Twitter, etc. This obviously entails alot of people disrespecting 2019 LSU, debating that 2019 Ohio State was just as good. That we barely beat Clemson in the final. That OSU looked "better in their showing vs clemson" than LSU but they shite the bed at the end of their game. yada yada.

Irks me a little bit to see how the 2019 natty is remembered in online discourse a mere 7 years later.



Yes, LSU had a very slow, and frankly UNLUCKY start to the game. LSU's first 2 possessions started at their own 7 and their own 4 yard line. 1st play of the game is a 40 yard pass to Moss, negated by penalty. Nightmare 1st quarter that resulted in Clemson being up 17-7 with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

LSU then proceeds to bitch slap and outscore Clemson 38-8 in the next 40 minutes of gameplay. This includes KNEELING OUT the game at the Clemson 4 yard line!

LSU essentially outscored a Clemson team on a 29 game win streak 45-8 in the final 40 minutes of a game?

and people are remembering this shite as CLOSE?

The teams that have beaten them are a combined 22-2.

frick them both to hell but i will continue to believe those were quality wins.

52-48 official
