Where is our new business friendly governor? Is he working to secure their stay in Louisiana?

You think Walk-Ons put this move together in under a month?

Did you forget to mention they started initiating this move under the old Governor?

Probably moving to have an easier time finding employees, huge hub for vendors & consultants to live or fly into, and business friendly.

I was always under the impression that walk-on's became popular at LSU because it was the perfect fit, i.e. right next to campus, lots of room to park/throw parties, what the name represents (love, passion, determination), good looking staff, fun environment, etc. . It gave many people a place and a reason to party / tailgate prior to or after a campus event and it allowed people to hang out / relax during a slow day.

Adding a new orleans location right next to the super dome made alot of sense because all you are doing is replacing the affiliated words LSU with Saints. In fact, you can recreate the "walk-on" mentality with any fan base. If done correctly, I thought walk-on's would flourish around every campus in north america.

Why in the hell did walk-ons turn into a chill's or applebees or red robbin for that matter. What the fk are they doing putting a walk ons in corporate town center or in houma or gonzalez? Them doing this has honestly ruined it for me. Its obviously all about investor greed and sleeping at the wheel, fk'em move to ATL so we don't have to deal with the chapter 11.

Cracker Barrel was pretty good for a very long time and made scratch food.

The cliff was only a few inches high. I never understood how that shithole got so popular.

He was elected outright last October. You are telling me he couldnt make calls behind the scenes to entice them to stay?

Walk-Ons was mostly bought out by a private equity firm. They fired pretty much everyone from the corporate team here in Louisana. I know this because a good friend of mine was someone that worked in their management group.
