    But you will still go to Pete's when they did the same exact thing that walkon's did with worse food, and worse service?
    This does not make sense to me.

    Pete's was all LSU last night.

    Should have joined us at Legend's on Bertrand for a great experience. Obviously half of the TV's had to go to the LSU game at 7 but by in large it was a very pro UL crowd. One LSU shirted d-bag chick and her equally moronic partner were throwing ugly looks and chanting things. The lameness only lasted 5 minutes maybe, no one paid attention to the noise. Had a great burger and far too many beers, left happy.

    pete's bad, been bad for awhile. haven't tried it in years now.

    walk-on's bad, ordered the burger, it was halved, first half was pretty greasy, then picked up 2nd half, bottom bun was saturated, could not finish.

    maybe give 'em one more try.

    Pete's was about 80% UL. Just the staff was pukes. Once the folks in our area reamed their ssses, we got UL sound and big screen back, and had no further trouble.

    It is because of some of the very reasons posted in this thread that I refuse to go to any sports bar to watch a Cajun game (or any other game I REALLY want to watch). If I stay home to watch it, I have COMPLETE control over MY remote control and will be assured that my TV will be tuned into the game I want to watch and the correct sound will accompany the picture. Last night I had absolutly no idea what was happening in Dallas, TX until time had expired in Stillwater, OK.

    I like taking control over my own destiny.

    BWW did a pretty good job. Audio was dedicated to LSU when their game started, but most of the LSU tables cheered for UL on good plays (besides a few LSU and UL fans heckling each other). I will admit, the Geaux Tiger and L-S-U chants did make me lose my appetite and increase my drinking.

    We speak with our dollars. If you are more tolerant than I am on this subject, and willing to encourage a business to feature a game other than the one you are interested in, then go ahead and patronize Walkons. Or Pete's. But if you want a business that puts UL first, then we have to find a business that does that and patronize it. There is obviously a market for a sportsbar that supports UL to the exclusion of others. Someone is going to figure that out.

    Vote with your feet. If you don't like it, don't go there, and encourage your friends not to go there.

    But, but, but,............What happened to "The House United?" You remember Jay Walker assuring us, you remember "The House United".

    Why don't they just stop the disguise. It's an LSU place. Jay was just the "Pied Piper" drawing all of us poor little Cajun Fans in to spend our money............

    The bartenders actions to insult Cajun fans was a poor decision for Mark's business. His idea of pulling for both programs was walking in front of Cajun fans and turning the volume off on the big screen directly in front of three tables of Cajun fans. When he turned to Cajuns fans and said why can't we support both programs dressed in an LSU t-shirt and cap, I asked him if that was his definition of supporting both programs. I had asked him before he did it, if he intended on turning the volume off the Cajun game and turning LSU's on at 8pm throughout the restaurant, he answered yes! Now,with a restaurant crowd that was majority Cajun fans by a good number, this guy could have simply played the LSU game on a number of other screen throughtout the establishment. I had no problem with him playing the LSU game on several of the other screens in front of our tables, but his decision to walk in front of an area full of Cajun fans and turn the volume off on the big screen that fans were watching was completely disrespectful. It could have been handled in a better manner then it was in the end.
