While true, to be fair...all I require of someone that does "wrong" is to make amends and change that behavior.

Harry T's did not rape or murder. They did a STUPID and INSULTING thing and I am proud as hell of the LSU community for calling them out.

But, if they change their actions and make amends.....that should be victory.

Seems like solid reasoning to me they obviously spend enough money they think it's worth it

And 10 years is a long time to consistently be getting their money every year

Agreed. They look to be extending an olive branch to LSU fans.

But he did go to the local paper and further make a jackass of himself today.

Does not sound limited to just LSU fans not being allowed:

quote:

Longo said the alumni club had filled most of the seating, but that restaurant staff made sure the remaining seats were given only to Florida fans.

“I did have to go up to some people and find out their position on the game,” he added. “We wanted to make sure we had plenty of seating for the Florida Gators.”


So you allow a patron in who is not wearing any specific color or team affiliation THEN you ask them a question to judge them if they are worthy to dine there?

Can you imagine walking into a restaurant just to eat and ask for a table for two and have them respond..

"Well that depends...."

"What is your opinion of jorts?"

They just opened up their facebook again. Here is what they posted

while I appreciate the sentiment, I will never give them my business and hope other tiger fans feel the same way.

Trip Advisor doing the same. They sent me a email telling me they were not going to publish my review. It was already up, but they took it down. I guess attire, JORTS ONLY, was a dead giveaway.

Upstairs at Harry T’s



So is upstairs better than the patio? Is it better than the room where the Emerald Coast Gators were?

Are we still being asked to sit at the "back of the bus?"

We should get a LSU boat armada to park themselves on the water near Harry T's and have a big party.
