Fitzgerald West Jr

[MarlinMan3]

About 30 years late for the perfect NIL spot for him.
My fave from my childhood!


Fitzgerald's was a legendary New Orleans seafood restaurant in the West End, built on stilts over Lake Pontchartrain, famous for its boiled shrimp, stuffed crabs, and fried seafood, beloved by locals for generations until it was destroyed by Hurricane Georges in 1998, leaving only old pilings as reminders of its iconic status.
What Fitzgerald's Was Like:
Location: Situated on piers over Lake Pontchartrain in the West End, extending further out than other restaurants.
Atmosphere: Accessed by a wooden bridge, offering panoramic lake views.
Cuisine: Known for huge portions of boiled shrimp, stuffed crabs, fried seafood, house salad dressing, and onion rings.
Legacy: A cherished spot for generations of New Orleanians, embodying classic local seafood dining.
Its Demise:
The restaurant, along with other West End establishments, was wiped out by Hurricane Georges in 1998.
Today, only the old pilings remain in the lake, marking where the iconic restaurant once stood.

Cajuns defense gave up 3.9 ypc last season. Thats not bad so there must have been some ups and downs statistically. On the flip side Cajuns avg a yard better at 4.9.. big problem was 3rd and 1-2 yards was a struggle on the ground defensively.

This is false. We gave up 4.7 ypc. This was the issue with the defense all year, our inability to get off the field and we were consistently bullied around.

West was a key guy on the goal line stands we made towards season's end resulting in the four game winning streak in November. It is also fun to watch him at fullback on offense in short yardage situations.
