Why would players from different places be any different?
All of the reasons that I mentioned. State pride and bragging rights.
The tribal side of the sport.
I watched Kevin Faulk at Carencro high school when I was in elementary. My first college game is when my dad took me to watch him play Mississippi State Bulldogs… I think 1996.
I watched Domanick Davis at Breaux Bridge high school and we followed his career to LSU.
We followed Jake Delhomme at USL. I have many more examples.
I can watch the Saints if I want to watch guys from all over the country.
What’s fun about beating Ole Miss with Mississippi players?
What’s fun about beating Texas with Texas players?
Do the guys you recruit from Oregon understand the Texas & ATM rivalry like kids that grow up in Texas?
Do kids from Ohio really understand the Bama Auburn rivalry?

re: What Would It Take For You to Stop Watching CFB?

I asked a similar question on Tiger Rant this morning.
For some, it’s the frustration of repurchasing your team every year and the constant turnover. For me it’s that AND the reduced state representation.
I don’t want Ole Miss’ running backs or O line. I don’t want Bama linebackers or D lineman. I don’t want Hawaii receivers.
Subject: College Football and State Pride | Recruiting
Curious to know what people think. As a fan, do you prioritize winning at all cost, or is your college football fandom tied to state representation?
Following our portal pick-ups and it feels strange. We’ve always supplemented with out of state talent. Now we’re depending on receivers from California, running backs from Florida, lineman from Georgia and Alabama, safeties from California.
For me, the fun of college football was always state pride and the banter with people from other areas. My state vs. your state.
DL like Booger McFarland, Marcus Spears, Chad Lavalais, Glenn Dorsey, Marquise Hill.
Corners like Tyrann Mathieu, Tre White, Randall Gay, Jonathan Zenon.
Safeties like Laron Landry & Craig Steltz.
Linebackers like Bradie James & Devin White.
Running backs - Kevin Faulk, Domanick Davis, Alley Broussard, Justin Vincent, LaBrandon Tofield.
Wide receivers like Josh Reed, Michael Clayton, Devery Henderson, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Malik neighbors.
Offensive line like Andrew Whitworth…
I could go on. It’s the guys you watched play HS ball in your local town.
Saban taught the country that if LSU could lock down the base, LSU would be tough to beat.
Not that my opinion matters… they say that CFB is “up and to the right”, but I only watched two games this year and I used to never miss a game. I suspect that others are just hanging on while in parallel the sport is attracting a new type of fan.
I’ll watch again next year and if it’s an exciting season I’ll probably watch them all. I’d be lying if I said that it’s as enjoyable though.
As a Saints fan, I expect them to get the best players from across the country. College football was always more passionate because it was a true state product.
Anyway… I’d rather finish top 20 with La guys than win the title with guys from California.

Like I mentioned… I believe that we always understood that we need to supplement with OOS guys. QB is a great example.
Baseball is a little different for me, but I admittedly root for the the Gavin Guidry and Kade Anderson types, even more so than the Paul Skenes of the world. That’s just me.
Not a popular opinion but I don’t really follow the out of state pro careers of guys like Joe Burrow and JD. It was a purely transactional relationship.
I do tend to keep up with the Louisiana athletes.

Looking at the way some get excited when we land a California receiver, it looks like the majority here just want to win - more similar to the NFL fan.
I’m not convinced that this board is indicative of the fans across the state, though.
I live in Texas now… it’s not going to be as fun beating a Texas school when your key starters are from Texas. These fools are already convinced that most of LSUs roster are Texas boys anyway.
I’d rather win or lose with La guys… but we’re never getting back to that.

Bunch of dope heads in here.
The rant is full of soft leftest, and this place is full of dope heads.
“I don’t care what other people…”
- put in their bodies
- care what they wear
- care who they marry
- care what God they worship
Meanwhile, my children have to share a society with degenerates. You all must think that peers don’t influence one another.
“I don’t care what other people…”
Meanwhile, society keeps degrading and we keep loosing our national identity.
Why do some of yall identify as Conservative at this point

Megyn Kelly shared similar remarks at her TPUSA talk. I happen to disagree.
The few leftists in my circle are actually ok to be around in real life. On social media they are nuts.
I’m starting to sympathize with OP. As someone with young kids, I can’t stomach befriending someone that votes on policy that hurts me and my family and encourages a culture of decay rather than virtue.
They smile to my face while privately wanting to destroy every core value that I believe in.
OP isn’t miserable… but admittedly happier.

It was a young man that was a voice for myself and a positive influence for our young kids (if you have kids… I do)
I took the easy route. Went to college. Great job with a great company. Great benefits. I had a really poor upbringing.
For me to be as vocal or engaging would be jeopardizing to my livelihood and I’m not willing to risk that at the time.
I’m thankful for people like CK. I’d go if I could, but I have to work.
Without people like CK, we’d be railed by the left. Some just want to show gratitude and uplift the cause.

This again?
Lafayette loves LSU, as does the rest of the state.
You obviously haven’t spent much time in Acadiana.

Some of these people are desperate for someone to hate since the Tulane rivalry lost its energy.
Lafayette doesn’t have the numbers on this board, so these people that barely know anything about the area are driving the fake narrative.
Funny that the few laffy area people on this board keep telling them that we all love LSU. I guess they know better and we are all lying…

I call bs on this claim. LSU is not welcome in Lafayette.
Yeah ok… I’m from the Lafayette area. My first college game was a USL game and my second was watching Kevin Faulk in TS. A trip to Tiger Stadium was a big deal for us.
Here are some facts for you:
- outside of a niche group of faculty or goofy alumni, many UL students are LSU fans. I don’t need you to convince me. I have enough family and friends that would confirm.
- go to any restaurant / entertainment venue in Lafayette. They will 100% have some sort of LSU decor. Not something you’d expect to see in a college town that hates you, right? Do you think you’ll find UT themed entertainment in College Station?
- Cajun musicians rep LSU, most of them from Lafayette area. Not something you’d expect for a region that supposedly hates LSU right? Don’t take my word for it… Google it yourself. You’ll see plenty of pics confirming.
- As an LSU fan, you can’t separate yourself from Lafayette and Acadiana no matter how much you want to. Lafayette and the Acadiana region is a significant part of the LSU brand. Without Cajun people, you’re just New Orleans.

Nothing… I don’t know anything about Gautreaux, but this fake narrative that Lafayette has a problem with LSU is absurd.
All any of you have to do is drive to any place in Acadiana and see for yourself. Lafayette loves LSU.
It’s the most Cajun region of La, which also happens to be LSUs national brand.

This is great feedback. I appreciate it.
I would be curious to know if I would need to seek out an attorney separate from the title attorney provided through the title company.

"Appear" via visual inspection or are you talking Onx?
Visual. I drove my truck to the property I’m looking at.
It’s for sale and I’ve contacted an agent.
I’ll close through title company so I would hope they would run all of the checks. I won’t be getting a loan.
I don’t have any experience with rural RE purchases, so I thought I’d probe this board for any traps that the agent / title company could miss.
I also wanted to understand a little more about “Landlocked owner must compensate neighbor”. A few comments have stated that it means to help repair the road. My search didn’t clarify that so I’d be curious to know what “compensate” actually means.
I was also curious about the Ag exemption. Appraisal district says it’s Ag III

Good to know. It doesn’t appear to be planned. And they aren’t planted in the rows in any organized manner. There’s a mixture of some decent Oak trees, a couple of cypress, and a bunch of low quality junk trees. Lots of underbrush.
It just looks like someone stopped farming it a long time ago and Mother Nature took over.

Sounds like it’s best if I engage an attorney if I decide to proceed.
This sketch is rough but you might get the idea… the shaded green tract is what I’m looking at.
There are what appears to be equipment right of ways between the tracts. The green line in the sketch is an access driveway / right of way to the property. I would need to verify if documented. I drove my truck all the way to the property.
It’s an interesting property to me because a lot of the other fields are owned by different individuals with the same last name as this seller. I walked the property. It looks like it was farmed 20+ years ago because there are furrows even though there are dense mature trees across the property. The price point seems reasonable. I would think one of the farmers would buy it, clear it, and farm it.
I want it because of the proximity to public hunting, fishing, and family. I rent VRBO houses when I go home. This property may not appeal to many. It’s not a hunting camp. It’s not practical for a residential development. For me, it’s a place to park a travel trailer hidden in the “woods” and the fields. I think my young boys would enjoy it.
The feedback from the group definitely helped me spot a few potential blind spots.
