What other message boards are saying : Baseball edition

[DixieVol]

After UT, I received a degree from Tulane. New Orleans is a very different place, some of those differences are good, others not as much. Totally different frame of mind for many things. Food is good, music good, architecture good. Mardi Gras is wild- rode in a crewe on the night of Lundi Gras- has to be the craziest thing I've ever participated in.

What is a crewe and what's so crazy about that? Curious

 

[ACvol3]

Hillbillies? Do they think we haven’t watched Swamp People??

Here’s a video of a parade:

Saying things like we’ll win and take their coach is false confidence to me.

May the bats sound like Thunder and the runs come like a heavy rain

I did some scouring on the LSU message board tigerdroppings. Most of the chatter surrounding their board is about the coaching search. Here are a few tidbits and quotes I found interesting:

In a thread about the team boarding the plane to Knoxville
“Headed to pickup a Super regional win, and Tony Vitello?”

In a thread saying either way Tennessee loses

“If they beat us, we’re taking their coach.
If we win, they lose and we still take their coach.

Either way... they lose. They just lose less if they win

Cause we taking their coach”

“If Woodward wants Vitello, he would try to avoid rumors about him to LSU this week in order to keep that relationship intact and make the move a possibility. Does anyone else think it’s possible that lots of folks are getting fed bad info intentionally to get everyone off the Vitello scent?

There are just too many sources with too many different names emerging… seems fishy.”

In a thread about UT being the favorite

“Little Tony can't beat Paul in the post season. The best thing Tony can do is show Paul how well he plays a rusty trombone. LSU will be in Tennessee's head like a tumor.

I'm all over LSU on the bet.”



a thread making fun of Vitello

“That dude looks like Osama Bin Ladin”

“I think he was telling the LSU players they had "purty mouths". Damn hillbilly coach”


LSU seems pretty confident but...

WGWTFA!

The comment about him looking like Bin Ladin is funny.

Vitello isn’t a hillbilly. He’s an Italian from St., Louis.

 

[Zues1]

I thought there were quite a few LSU fans who are glad to see Paul gone

Yep. Best be careful what you wish for. As Tennessee fans we know that all too well.

Tulane Law class of ‘01 here. You?

I remember great times with Bloody Marys at Tulane football games in the Dome.

Two of my favorite places are Marjie’s and Cooter Brown’s.

Favorite Mardi Gras memory is trading a Silver Bullet sixer for a Zulu coconut. I still put it on our Christmas tree.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I've found all kinds of unique culture outside of New Orleans.

Go to a smaller cajun town on Mardi Gras day, like Breaux Bridge or Abbeville. THAT is a lot of fun.

Yep, Tulane Law grad as well (earlier class, I started in Jones Hall then we moved over to the then new Weinmann Hall). Absolutely- Cooter Brown’s was always fun! When I attended, the football program was pretty sad and the basketball program was constantly ranked (the opposite of UT at the time). During a football game in the Dome, you could carry on a conversation at a normal voice level because the crowds were so small. OTOH, the combination of alcohol and a crazy small Fogelman Arena made life miserable for the opponents (Denny Crum got caught talking about how much he hated playing in Fogelman). GB & Roll

You are absolutely correct. Those communities have their own take on Mardi Gras, and it’s not fueled by alcohol and out of towners.
When I lived in New Orleans, I had a pair of old shoes I called my Mardi Gras shoes – because I would never know what all I had stepped in, those shoes never came in the house

 

[Enki_Amenra]

What a crappy name!

Indeed!

Back in the day - don't know about now - they had cock fights out in the town square in the open. Cops looked the other way. Then there was the literal pig cooked in the ground. My recall is there was plenty of alcohol, mostly beer trucks. Dancing in the streets to cajun music. But it was mostly locals and a few tourists. The locals were very friendly and all of it was just a hell of a lot of fun.

I think it’s safe to say police looked the other way a bunch during Mardi Gras. An NOPD officer once told me ‘as long as someone isn’t getting stabbed, we’re good.’

 

[BigBadVol]

LOL! So they interview LSU’s coach and he says he doesn’t want to make this about him and he continues to talk about himself the entire time. Yea right.

LOL. In towns all over LA, Cajuns will close off a street for a party at will. Might be a crawfish boil. Might be a chicken race. It's all an excuse to have a good time.

I’ve lived in Louisiana since 2007. Came down for grad school with no intention of staying. Now we have three kids who were all born here and have no intention to leave. I’m fact my whole family moved down to be near us. The food is actually unbelievably good, the people are great when they aren’t drunk at an LSU game, and yes we close down streets to throw parties.

"Pope" Paul on his retirement victory tour. Hahahaha.

Hopefully he can pack his bags for the beach today.

Wanna read something funny check out Vandy mania both of their fans, (one is probably the whistler) spewing their jealousy of Tennessee

That is very much like my story, too. Came to BR in 83 for grad school and we never left. Two kids born here. But I never stopped being homesick for the mountains.

On Friday, LSU fans, “we are going to win the series and then take their coach.” Saturday night, LSU fans, “the umps gave TN the game and TV is horrible. Why would we ever want such a joke coach?” Man, talk about being bi-polar. They really are stupid.

There were only 2 when I saw it, how sad with a program like that.
