While I am confident, I sometimes worry about the kids from NE.LA.

For ever Cam Robinson there are 5 John Diarse, Barkevious Mingo, Cam Lewis, KJ Malone and JD Moore's.

I've lived in West Monroe, Lafayette, New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport and I can tell you without a doubt - West Monroe is the 2nd most pro-LSU city in the state behind only Baton Rouge.

The reason LSU hasn't had a ton of success up there lately is because of 2 reasons-

1. Their best recruiters have been assigned to South Louisiana, Houston and Florida.

2. They simply have slowed on recruiting the area and TCU is one school that has benefited greatly. Also Saban has made the I-20 corridor to Dallas a priority while Les has been more focused on the River Parishes, Houston and Florida.

I'm not saying either strategy is better, but the ignorance to LSU fandom throughout the state irks the piss out of me.
