Re: New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule
As someone who lives in the Shreveport area, it's ridiculously boring almost all the time. I miss Lafayette regularly. We basically just have the world's smallest aquarium, and a bunch of casinos. With Mardi Gras coming up, Shreveport has the most lame parades you'll ever see. If you're a fan of anything but country or rap, don't hold your breath for any good concerts coming to the area.
I'm coaching 3 sports at school to help from going out of my mind with boredom. I really enjoyed the Indy Bowl along with the group I went with. Would love more events like that, especially involving the Cajuns.

Welcome to Lafayette.
Let me also add washed up rock bands from 50 years ago.

I truly believe the Indy Bowl would have been a bigger event and much more attended if not for it being on the coldest day of 2022. It was hard to enjoy that day with how cold it was. Wow. Hope we can make it back one day in decent weather. It is an easy drive.

I am seeing that Alice Cooper is coming to Shreveport in May. I am hoping to make the trip. I met Alice about 10 years ago and he is great guy that still brings it at his shows.

Recruits get all-access pass. So nobody pays.

Re: New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule
Do the all access passes include free brews . . .

How do you have a bowl kick off party and everything shuts down at 10pm. I don't mean just the restaurant I mean everything outside the casinos. Lame ASF. The day Marley, Jeff pub and Legend closes at 10 would be the day I move out of Louisiana. And I don't even go downtown anymore
When I was still in the oilfield, I worked a 14 and 7 schedule working out of Shreveport. I cannot imagine a worse place to live. That place sucks. The ever present advertisement of Shreveport being "cajun" made me unnecessarily angry all the time. I mean, you aren't allowed to claim Cajun if you can't even get the spelling of cracklins right. These clowns shamelessly advertised, "cracklings". FOH Shreveport, you bastardized Arkansas trash.
See? See what that place does to me?

Re: New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule
There was a Randol’s there with chanky chank music for a while . . . Failed . . .

The subtile difference between north Louisiana and southern Arkansas is north Louisiana’s economy is timber, meth, trailers, and cotton, while southern Arkansas is timber, meth, trailers and chickens.

Re: New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule
GEAUX Tigers is about as authentic as a Randol’s and chanky chank music in S’port . . .

There is a large Chicken Farm north of Ruston. Driven by it a number of times. But generally, I agree with your post. LMAO!

You ever driven the loop in Natchitoches with your window down? On a good day you can smell the chicken $Hi+. Right by the parish jail and back side of the airport.

Went eat in Natchitoches a year or so back. Wind was blowing right.
FWIW, Fontenot’s, on left side as you roll into the campus. Good BBQ.
Decades ago when the basketball top 24 tournament was in Alexandria, the hosts would take teams on tours of chicken processing plants.
Guys would come back beef eaters.

Re: New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule
. . . beef eaters . . . drove them to drinking . . .
