| Best Crawfish in Houston? - DestrehanTiger on 3/13/13 at 10:41 am
I've been craving some crawfish out here, but I wanted to avoid making the error of going to a place that doesn't cook them the right way. I know I could look it up, but I figured I'd get the opinion of people with Louisiana ties that know the area. So, if anybody has any suggestion on a place to ge...

| ACON Famous Ref Sighting - DestrehanTiger on 1/23/13 at 9:49 am
It's a slow day at work, so I go to ESPN3 to see what soccer matches I can watch. The only one on is South Africa vs Angola. I'm half paying attention, then a very infamous face flashes on screen blowing his whistle.

I watch a lot of Fox Soccer Channel and listen to the soccer station on SiriusXM.

B Win FA Cup (or equivalent) and League Title

I was thinking about how little Shepard has done while at LSU when I remembered him being a big force for LSU in recruiting when he was a high school senior. Was that just a lot of smoke, or did he really have some sort of impact on a few of the players we got? Who were the players? I guess it might...

Also, with the way the chapters are set up, it's difficult to find the part of the story where certain seconda...
