The Bayou Bengal Bar

quote:

Eat your hearts out, Longhorns and Aggies! The LSU Tigers have made their mark at the Petroleum Club of Houston and dubbed the sleek watering hole in the new digs the Bayou Bengal Bar. Thanks to the efforts of 12 LSU grads, all leaders in the energy industry, the brass plaque forever stakes their claim atop the 35-story Total Plaza.

Finally! Victory at last!



Will you have to wear LSU Crocs to get in the bar?

Fwiw, Shreveport's Petroleum Club is named the "Commodore Cantina", I think some guys from Vandy run the show up there.

Why would Texans be mad that we tricked a bunch of dumb Louisiana boys into paying us to put up a useless plaque at a bar?

As a director on the Petroleum Club board, LSU alumni Ron Neal, co-founder and co-owner of Houston Energy, spearheaded the initiative of raising the necessary funds to win the naming rights. The fellows, each passionate about his alma mater, reached deep into their ample pockets, their contributions earmarked for the Petroleum Club capital campaign.

Now here's the disappointing news for area Bengal tigers, according to the LSU Foundation, only 10.8 percent of LSU alumni give back to the university, compared to Alabama at 36 percent and Texas A&M at 22.4 percent.

Yep, jelly of a bar frequented by old men that I'd never want to go to.

If I want to wave my money dick around like an a-hole I'll stick with Ghost Bar here in Dallas. At least the people there will be closer to my age when I'm spending $15 on a shitty mixed drink.

We wouldn't expect you to be mad...but we do expect the towels to be warm and the urinal cakes fresh when we enter your work area at our new bar.

I saw that too. Our prior fundraising efforts have been pretty shitty. The LSU Foundation needs to get off their asses.

But I dont want to waive my money dick around at an upscale bar filled with self important old farts and young 30k millionaires.

I want to hang with thug bikers at dive bars like The Dubliner and spend the money on booze instead of trying to get myself hard w/useless plaques and naming rights.
