Yeah I saw that on facebook earlier this week. Its fricking stupid. If any got pissy they could have just said look we support both SLU and LSU and wish the teams the best of luck and left it at that.

That is retarded. LSU is the flagship. Nobody should take sports that seriously when SLU isn't even a real rival

Then your stupid. I can't speak for the Baton Rouge location but the one in Hammond is good. The bad part is getting a table the building is the size of a shoe box.

Apologizing for being an LSU fan isn't a bitch move?

There may be 100 SLU fans that aren't all in on LSU football every fall. Every attention seeking "SLU fan" on here has tigers in their handle. Those owners would have been better off responding to the whiners with a Geaux Tigers.

So you won't go to it because they did something you don't agree with?

You're no different than the people who boycott chick-fil-a.

I don't see a problem with it. It probably isn't good for business to have your restaurant openly supporting against the hometown team. Obviously it was an accident and they are trying to make that clear that it was intended to go on the Baton Rouge location's page only.

You are way overthinking this.

You shouldn't shame them for wanting to support their local university and retracting it when it looks like the Hammond location is supporting LSU over Southeastern. There are a ton of people in the Hammond area that are connected to Southeastern.


I agree with all of this... I actually feel bad for the owners.

Isn't that exactly what SELU fans were threatening to do?

It's sports... Do some of you really take it so seriously that you'd condemn their food and service quality on the basis of whom they support playing baseball?

Apparently, its ridiculous if that is the basis for which you choose where and where not to eat

I missed the part where this place has can't miss food and service quality.

Their heartfelt letter called their support for LSU "a mistake" that they wish they could take back. That's some snowflake stuff right there.

To win back all of the SELU fans, they doubled down on the fact that Hammond is their home. That's great. There are too many Baton Rouge owned businesses to get a burger or poboy. I'll take my money to those places.

Y'all need to settle down, of course they are going to support the local college they have business in.

The family that run those restaurants are good and hard working people.

No need to try and drag their name through the mud.

Classic over reaction

Sounds like your loss. I've been to both locations and the burgers kick arse at both places.

All SLU fans are LSU fans anyway. There's no ULL inferiority complex in Hammond.

Y'all are acting like Hos right now.

Nothing they said in that apology was offensive to LSU at all, nor was it ULa-La-esque in any way.

Grow up, chilluns.

Exactly. Imagine a restaurant in BR that originated in Alabama putting up Bama stuff when we play them.





Terrible comparison. Most people in Hammond are tiger fans...hell most of the students are also.

I wish SLU would be in another regional so I can pull for them.
