That has to be one of the best posts ever placed on this forum. If I had seen that after knocking on your door I probably would have left quickly myself, and I am a Cajun fan.

Mike from Gueydan is my hero.
Re: Cure Bowl Final: Louisiana 24, Tulane 41
He was a wonderful caller when sports talk radio was building. Hap Glaudi was the absolute best. A yat with a Harvard mind. He innovated many important things in sport media. I can’t recall them, y’all will just have to believe.
He’s also the guy who recognized Ragin’Cajuns basketball as THE program with the horses 🐎
Re: Cure Bowl Final: Louisiana 24, Tulane 41
Never forget Hap on WWL TV with his Blue Plate Special" A point spread placed on an actual blue plate..,
Re: Cure Bowl Final: Louisiana 24, Tulane 41
Believe me we don’t have the likes of Hap, and Jay Townsend locally today. Probably because locals can’t compete with ESPN, and Fox Sports. Local sport shows suffer everywhere nowadays.

Hap always promoted his program and himself as "the man who never ducked a question." And to my knowledge, he never did. He also was an educated, experienced, and legendary boxing analyst.

I agree. Yesterday's broadcasters and talk show hosts were friendlier, more agreeable and geared their show to the callers' opinions. Today, hosts think they know everything and make their shows all about themselves.

Angeleast can attest to my legendary "craziness." I coached him at Gueydan High for four years. He was a fine athlete and young man. Angeleast played every game on both offense and defense, lining up with older, bigger and stronger players for the entire game. Gueydan, a small school, generally was lucky to have 18 players on the roster to start the season.

I once heard that video of that encounter was being shown on Black Market Japanese XXX movie stations. They did not use my real name in the credits. Instead, I was known by my stage name, Tu Hung Lo.
