Undoubtedly, and I would add Fats Domino to that list. It should have been in NO, but the "esteemed" minds of the tourism bureaus in the city and state did not think it would significantly add to tourism (and, they were dead wrong). There is hope that a La. Music Hall of Fame will get built, but it was part of that development on Convention Center Blvd that has fizzled out, so its now homeless.
Its been a few years, but its a nice atmosphere, and if the weather is good, it has plenty of patio seating. Food and beer are very good (schnitzel is excellent) and it frequently has live music (usually the better blues musicians in NO). Not a bad way to spend an evening.

Ohio and Cleveland provided way more in financial incentives. The public reason announced was that the so-called first rock n' roll disc jokey (and promoter), Allen Freed, hailed from Cleveland. If La and the city had met or exceeded what Ohio/Cleveland offered, it would have been in NO.
Jet Airliner - original by the criminally unerappreciated Paul Pena. Better known version is by Steve Miller.
You have a new hotel that will be built as part of the Convention Center, so not sure its feasible. They already are having a very hard time selling apartments at the new Mississippi River build-out so that's not very feasible either. You could do the Hall of fame for both pro teams, and also do one for the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame which is looking for a place, and all three attractions would fit nicely with the Pels.
Franco Harris was really a different type of guy. At that time, he didn't like driving to and from the games, so he used to walk/hitch hike. After that amazing game, the guy literally stuck out his thumb to get a ride back to his home.

That's an amazing album. I have bought a few other compilations from Born Bad Records, and all have been in constant rotation on my system.

The lone silver lining is that the Pels actually outscored a team in the 3rd. Bad news is EVERY player was in the negative for the entire game on the plus/minus.
What is really concerning is that it really looks l.ike the team has quit on a 1st year HC. They have some older vets on this team that are normally leaders and can keep the team together (Jordan and Davis). Looks like even they are not able to help keep the players trying. I liked the Moore hire, but he may not last more than 1 more season at this point. I get the lack of talent, but the lack of effort is really disheartening and eye opening.

Queen and Fears did not play great that game - both had the worst plus/minus for the team (every starter was negative, while every other player was positive). The style of play that the new coach is incorporating may not be the best fit for the roster. All that said, at some point, just let the rookies play a ton of minutes since any chance of post season is already a pipe dream.
Might do it, but its an easier trip for me since I'm in Spain.
There is a clause that allows LSU to offset from remaining balances other income he earns and also that he has to use all best efforts to secure other income.LSU is wanting to reduce the buy out, and pay it in a lump sum, and in exchange Kelly gets to keep all other income.
Thi latest position by LSU is not good in terms of hiring a decent replacement for Kelly. You either will have to severely overpay someone, or hire a person who otherwise appears not to be the type of candidate the job would normally attract.
As someone who has personally dealt with him, I do not believe that people truly get how big an idiot he is.

re: 3rd Quarter

Posted by pmacneworleans on 10/30/25 at 11:49 am to
3rd quarter issues are not conditioning. That's clearly a coaching issue and other team at half is adapting on how to better attack Pels and Willie is telling his team to just "play harder."
You could make Borrego an interim while they try to land someone else for the rest of the season. You cannot let Green coach another game.
Article is a little confusing in that it say imminent firing and also mid-season. They cannot wait till mid-season. Has to happen now.
If you are not taking a QB that early (and, I don't disagree given what will be available), I'd trade back to acquire more picks. There's not a position on this team that doesn't need upgrading, so the more picks the better.
This! Its like Miles his last years at LSU. And its not the running game that has the other ds concerned. Its that Rattler consistentlty goes to the safety valve and dumps off 3-4 yd passes He might be the best QB on the roster, but until you give Slough a few games, you don't really know that. And, its not like they are winning any games with Rattler, so you need to check out what you have, to figure out what you need for next season. Rattler has played better than a 5th rounder, but if he's the best they have, they still need a starting QB.
