...How racist was Earl K?

Well, he ALLEGEDLY was bi polar during one of his governorships, his wife was involved in his removal.

But, there was Blaze Starr, his stripper girlfriend.

If Bart Starr had named his son/grandson Blaze Starr, Texas would have given him a NIL deal.

Just sayin...

Actually, for his time, he was considered a moderate, at least.

Hopefully his gym was in better shape than his Bridge in LC

was anything done to help the acoustics, like a fabric wall or something?

I had a chance today to go to Earl K. Long as the volleyball team got to see the remodeled facility for the first time.

In case you were unaware, women's basketball offices were moved out of EKL to make the historic facility a volleyball only facility.

The second floor has a meeting room, film room, study room, and players lounge (with foosball, pool, darts and shuffleboard.)

Downstairs it's a newly remodeled locker room, restrooms and showers.

The court itself looks amazing.

The response from the young women was priceless.

Donors are getting a tour today and then photos and video will be released on social media so you can get a look.

Coach Gray was pretty emotional when she saw the reaction of her team. It was really special.

Great for volleyball. It does mean MBB now has to share the Moncla basketball practice court with WBB. Still probably a good move from the overall athletic program standpoint.

You lost me on that one.....

The 1-10 bridge in lake charles got a 3 out of 10 safety score. If you read the plaque on the bridge it says commissioned by E.K long

Yep. Somewhat curious that we now split the indoor practice facility court. Hopefully, there are plans to build the men and women their basketball practice facilities.
