re: LSU 15 Auburn 8 F Men's LAX

First off.. Great win Tigers.
Secondly.. I hope LSU continues to recruit out of state talent and becomes a damn fine D1 team some day.
But lastly, for as great as this sport is, I'm hoping that LAX doesn't become a popular sport in Louisiana. The fact that football and baseball dominate our local kids sporting lives is what guarantees our amazing in state football talent. Sure we lose the occacional football talent to the MLB but those sports keep our kids active all year round and then there are only two sport choices for kids to pursue, for the most part. I'm out in California and this state's best athletes have so many options that there football talent gets watered down. There are wonderful west coast athletes that surf, ski, snowboard, play soccer, basketball, LAX, volleyball etc. this is why Louisiana has more NFL players per capita. Our athletes primarily play football and baseball. (Track too but that sport basically just keeps the football talent in shape throughout the year.) A 6'5" kid with quick feet is probably going to become a lineman or TE. In the northeast that kid has a good chance of become a basketball Power Forward instead.

So LAX is a great sport but I hope Louisiana kids stick with Football and baseball.
