I've got some family and quite a few friends over in Louisiana, and know the state very well. I have a love/hate relationship with the place. The fishing and hunting are both world class, the food is amazing, the people are genuinely excellent, and the fact they sell liquor in gas stations (and basically everywhere else you look - I've literally bought a bottle of Weller 12 for MSRP at a truck stop near Shreveport), are all great things.
The government is corrupt as hell, the roads and overall infrastructure are some of the worst this side of Syria, and the fact that I can't stand to be in NOLA for longer than 48 hours due to the stench, makes me sometimes wish it never existed.
As for LSU, I think they will soundly beat Clemson. They've caught lightning in a bottle this year, and have had one helluva season. My prediction on the game: I expect it to be close for about a quarter and a half, but then I think LSU will run away with it.
Thanks.
It seems I am not allowed to pull for LSU as my second team...even though I went there.
I can't like the people even though my wife is from here and ALL my kids and grand kids are here except one..... so I ain't going anywhere.
Most of your assessment is spot on.
Not much worse than the Smell of the French Quarter on a HOT summer Sunday morning.
