re: Private school kid from Texas being bullied for selecting LSU as his top school
Posted by truth87 on 1/14/18 at 6:28 pm
[quote]If he's really truly excited about going to LSU, then he should. I can't imagine being that happy about something, but being talked out of it by an ignorant high school kid. His schoolmates' opinions won't count for shite in about six months.

Which is why I was shocked when I sta...

We did but he's more concerned with the university's image, prestige, and growth which seems to still be too much in a gray area for him. LSU just experienced a decline in applications again this past year ...
Private school kid from Texas being bullied for selecting LSU as his top school
Posted by truth87 on 1/14/18 at 5:39 pm
I live in Texas and my nephew was heavily considering LSU until recently. He attends a very elitist and affluent private school where most students matriculate to highly ranked and wealthy private and public colleges. So he's been ridiculed for choosing LSU especially given he's one of the top stu...

Looks like my bitching and complaining about why we can't be more like Kentucky may have worked.
The Alcorn State game was well-attended, the energy in the place was great, the fan section was super fun, and it created an ambiance I kn...

Trending video about Confederate Romanticism in the South
Posted by truth87 on 10/25/17 at 10:44 pm
A well researched and hard-hitting video about confederacy romanticism in the South. I already knew most of what was presented based on my own research but was surprised to learn new interesting details. EXCELLENT VIDEO for those who love the truth!

[quote]As an LSU fan living in KY I can tell you that their football program is actually doing quite well for the recruiting base. Plus they're splitting recruits with Louisville. Their home games are pretty well attended and the school has invested a lot into improving tailgating around campus. Goo...

I just finished watching clips of Big Blue Madness which is an event introducing the new UK men's basketball team to the fans and it looks like a million dollar rock concert production. The fans were super excited, almost sold out, and it just looks like so much fun.
