2013 Staking a Claim for Louisiana

[cajunhawk]

I didn't put him on a "pedestal". All I said was that, in my opinion, Kyle does get it from the standpoint that too many in our fanbase still seem to spend too much time whining about how LSU or someone else treats us "unfair". I can guaran-damn-tee that the face of our culture change for football, Mark Hudspeth, doesn't complain to people about LSU holding him or the football program down. He goes about his business to do his job and put a winning team on the field regardless of any outside forces.

No no no...Kyle blinds himself to what LSU has done to keep us down in the past to keep his backdoor TAF membership open so he can slink back over there if things get rough. He doesn't get it...in fact he forces himself not to get it to keep his options open. I can guaran-damn-tee Hud isn't stupid or ignorant enough to ignore what this fan base has gone through at the hands of those purple devils to the east. He knows all too well what they are capable of.

Give the guy a break...he graduated from UTA.

Considering that he was active in politics in 1984 allegedly representing this area, it's no wonder we lost the name battle with "support" from him.

It all makes sense now...

I'm taking this at face value and based on the dates cited, but if this comment really is from Raymond Lalond it's no wonder this state us so ____ed up with politicians like him.

"Raymond LaLa Lalonde
I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington, a fine engineering and liberal art university. We have always referred to it as UTA or UT Arlington. UT Austin was the original University of Texas and is usually referred to as UT or University of Texas, without having to specify the location of the campus. I would prefer to stick with UL Lafayette or perhaps shorten it to U LaLa. BTW, I started at SLI in 1958.
Yesterday at 2:33pm"

"...shorten it to U LaLa" ? What a ____ing moron.

If his nickname was Raymond "Louisiana" Lalonde, his answer would flip.

U LaLa.......Who in their right mind would choose this as an abbreviation for their university and not incite laughter when saying it or hearing others say it......Man lost his mind...

You don't have a phone????

A man named LaLa

His nickname was La La. Maybe a joke just like his political career.
