LSU alum and fan here just popping in to say congrats on the great win, Cajuns! I root for y'all often, unless of course you're lining up against LSU. I definitely found myself screaming for y'all on Saturday until the very end. It was nice seeing your fans excited and loud in the Superdome and even more, your team giving them every reason to be. Great win, again!

(Also, here's to hoping Bama's kickers aren't as good as yours!)

Really appreciate it. Thanks

Louisiana has been a sore spot for many big oil companies since the precedent was set that they could be sued before actually having proof they contaminated ground water.

Major lawsuit between Texaco and the state of Louisiana had nothing to do with supposed ground water
contamination. It was an accusation of underpayment of royalties. Texaco paid royalties from production on state owned properties on the basis of the price they received for natural gas. In most cases,
this price received was quite a bit below the market value of the time as Texaco had very old contracts with it's customers calling for them to receive the gas at set cheap prices. The state contended that
Texaco should pay royalties based upon the current market price. This would mean that they royalties Texaco would pay actually exceeded the amount they received for their product. As in many cases
such as this, the case was settled out of court with Texaco making payments to the state but at a
lower value than the state of Louisiana originally demanded. As far as Chevron's current office setup, about 4 years ago the entire New Orleans portion of the Gulf of Mexico business unit moved from
downtown New Orleans to Covington. It is a state of the art campus type facility which the state
recognized for it's environmental design. Moving from Orleans to St. Tammany Parish did have some
political ramifications. Therefore the company increased their charitable work in the city. This includes supporting all the charities the Saints and the Hornets sponsor. Based upon the Covington employees
having tieins to those teams, the Lafayette management was able to secure more support for the
Cajuns. In addition to participating in the Corporate season ticket program for football, six basketball
season tickets were purchased this season for the first time and there is a possibility Cajun baseball will also be supported come spring time.

I would bet most people in Baton Rouge don't hate us. I suspect most people really never paid attention to us. Remember
most people don't read message boards. Those people in BR cheering us on Saturday night were simply supporting another
institution from the state of Louisiana which is no threat to the Tigers. Keep in mind the schools are working together on the
new medical program which will allow students to become doctors from training received in Lafayette. For years we begged for more publicity outside of Lafayette. In most of those years we did not do enough to warrant that attention. 2011 was
different and I bet more of that will occur in future years.

One of the many highlights of my night was being able to talk to Jessie Newman on the sideline. I have a white #67 jersey that I bought when he was still in school. When I saw him on the field, he had his white #67 jersey on and I walked up to him and told him "nice jersey". He smiled, laughed and we talked for a few minutes.

Stay away from the average LSU fans and you will do well in life....you know, the ones who cut their AA meetings so they can throw beer on and curse the opponents' fans.... BTW, most of us share BR's "SABAN SUCKS" attitude.
