Jay Ducote? Really? I thought the Advocate was playing a prank when I saw his picture this morning. WTF? This is the guy that roams around tailgate parties on gameday looking for people to recognize him for free food and beer. Man this school has stooped low. so sad

I do agree that LSU has had more noteworthy speakers...generally for spring and fall commencements, as they are a lot larger ceremonies.

however, since this guy apparently makes his living dealing with food, I don't really see it as a knock on him that he roams around sampling different dishes at people's tailgates.

In fairness, it was a good speech.

They didn't go with mayor Weston-broome or the honorable reverend Gary chambers? I'm offended

A two time graduate of LSU who started his own culinary brand and was on a notable TV show?

And it's the August commencement. Not like it's the Spring ceremony.

He needs to try being healthier if he wants to continue to live.

You are right. LSU should waste more money on big name speakers

Just googled him and honestly I'd rather hear his speech rather than a politician or something. I hate graduations though so I'd find it boring no matter what.
