He was a political science major and he’s a smart guy. IMO he was very obviously trying to give his speech emotion by using techniques that you hear every politician anywhere use. It sounded awkward and didn’t really hit the mark but he didn’t sound like he was trying to sound southern at all

It’s funny that Obama, from Chicago, was able to talk with what sounded like a ridiculously southern accent when he was on a roll and no one said a word but Coach Kelly is getting crucified for doing a mild version of the same thing

That's exactly my accent. It's a mix of NOLA Yat, Boston and Southern. No Cajun at all. (Born in Monroe. Lived in Mandeville for most of my life up until Katrina)

Nobody can tell where I'm from when they meet me or my unusual and rare genetics. (Scottish-Jewish parents with a strong Choctaw influence from the East Central Mississippi paternal family lineage)

I'm also fed up with LSU-BR being referred to by the National sports media as the Bayou and or Swamp. Don't know many Swamps (Bluebonnet) or Bayous (Jones Creek) in Baton Rouge.
