This hiring was an insult ..absolutely. The fact that you don't find that to be the case , says more about you than it does me. What time does your comet leave?


I have season tix, and was not happy w/ the hiring. Insulting? No.

3rd option? Apparently so.

Can he succeed? Jury is still out.

Grow up.

Ever wonder why our State ranks low in a LOT of metrics? MINDSET. wonder where that mindset comes from? People who think like you. It is hard to change, but we all need to. Holding someone accountable is one thing, but you need to give them a chance to succeed otherwise you are part of the problem.



The embodiment of irony.

The State is in the condition it is in for the very same reasons Edward Orgeron was hired.

One in the same. You are basically saying "I know you are but what am I".

Invest in some mirrors.

Da Coach O comes with LOTS of luggage and peculiarities and you cannot blame the media for that.
WE hired him, not them.
In fact, some seem to celebrate that we hired him BECUASE of his peculiarities.

I'm a multiple sport season ticket holder.

Okay , now what ?

I'm insulted . You aren't.

Something I am invested in financially and emotionally has been turned over to someone that didn't deserve it and hasn't earned it. This individual was gifted this amazing opportunity because the powers that be decided the fanbase cared more about " one of us " than putting in the work to pursue and deliver a quality hire worthy of the position.

Let's try this analogy-
Imagine being set up on a date. Your friends tell you she is perfect for you in every way. Everyone is excited because they know she is just perfect for you.
You meet her.

It's Lena Dunham with a coonass accent.

Congrats and don't be insulted.

ETA- maybe she is perfect for you. I don't know you, so if she is your model of perfection , my analogy falls apart. So , you know , change her name to someone you find unappealing on every level, but you absolutely must keep the accent! That's essential to your happiness in this equation.

I see these segments as very elitist.. basically laughing at the working class and Louisiana.

How very ESPN of them.

Hell, our own fans bash him and gave him ZERO credit for last week's win.

But let the nat'l media get on the O Hateer Team, and it's racist. Go figure.

We DO love to eat our own on this board. He gets roasted on Tiger Bait because of his win-loss record in the SEC. The national media is making fun of the way he speaks. We know that most people from around here don't speak that way, and O might have a little bit of a speech impediment. They think that's just how Cajun's talk, and it's bigoted. If everyone else was fair game, fair enough... but that's not the case.

Why does everyone get so bothered when someone picks against LSU? It's an opinion.

I remember a time earlier in the year when everyone on here was so butthurt that Kirk picked against LSU.

That game was Mississippi State.

OH I remember those threads vividly. People think the "one of us" is made up but it was real when he was hired.

ESPN Gameday is an entertainment show. It's there to get fans excited about a day of college football. You know what ESPN cares about? Ratings. Viewers. So they can sell more Capital One and Home Depot commercials.

Oh, and they want all of us talking about them, whether it is good or bad. So they love it when they see threads like this. SUCCESS.

It's game day folks. I'm ready for some football.

GO TO HELL OLE MISS, GO TO HELL.

The anti-Cajun biase is real. Being originally from South Louisiana I've encountered it myself throughout my life. The most offensive comment I ever encountered was a person saying all Cajuns are the product of incest. I recall the comment was made at church function and directed at me, in front of a mixed gender group. I recall it took everything I had to keep from crawling over that table and cracking a chair over the SOB. I can thank my saintly mother's gentle nature for resisting that urge. I wish it had been the last time I encountered that ugly but it wasn't

Trust me, anti-Cajun biase is real and it's ugly. So naturally being the great ambassador of the Cajun Culture that is Coach Ed Orgeron we can expect he'll endure some abuse. In fact, I suspect some of the insulting comments I see here on TD directed towards Coach Oaux is rooted in this anti-Cajun bigotry. Hey, even his Majesty Nick Saban (after being adored by TigerNation while he was here) was prone to insult the Cajun culture as he mimicked the language.

All in all Cajuns are the finest people I've every had the privilege of knowing. Most ethnic peoples who have been oppressed usually are.....fine people. By the way I loathe "Swamp People".

Having that......where's the Chicken on a Stick.
