LSU. In the end, after some advice from professionals in the field I wanted to go into, I chose McNeese. Paid off in the long run. Would not have met my wife had I gone to LSU (although I suppose I might have met someone else).

If I could go back, I wouldn't change my mind.

Nothing fancy here. Southern Miss was the only school to offer me a scholarship.

I paid to go to LSU instead.

I’m a legacy at Harvard, but I would have failed out almost immediately. Went to the state college of Louisiana for undergrad

UGA and/or Univ of Washington

If I could do it all over again. I’d do it differently.

Grew up in Baton Rouge, so I almost ended up at LSU. Took a long weekend trip to Austin and fell in love with the city. I was also accepted at UGA, but I didn’t want to go that far from home at the time. My little sister ended up going there and loved it.

Almost went to Ole Miss.

I had baseball scholarship offers at a bunch of NAIA and D2 schools, but wanted to actually have a legit college experience.

During the summer after senior year, got a last minute offer to play at MTSU which was closer to home yet was a big enough school that I could still have the real college experience. So I did that and never looked back.

No regrets whatsoever. Most folks I know or met after college who went to Ole Miss are huge douches. Not all, but most.

Minnesota. If I didn't get into UW I was going to Minnesota sight unseen. Thank the good Lord I got into UW.

Texas..... Grew up a horn fan.
u of Houston... They offered me some good money.
Wanted to go to Arkansas but they didn't offer me anything.
Lamar, USL and Mcneese offered me some money but I couldn't see myself at those places.... Although USL has an Architecture school which was a personal requirement.

Almost attended Ole Miss, avoided eternal douchedom.
Was most likely headed to Southern (USM), would’ve Piked like my coastal brethren and ended up flunking out.
Ended up playing juco ball and transferring to an NAIA school to play two more years.
Should’ve quit football after two years of juco and went to State.
It all worked out though, no complaints. Other than the five-month stint in Law School.
