Just thought I'd share a few things about where I'm from being they hired the new coach of the LSU Tigers, Ed 'Bebe' Orgeron. He is from the same area that I'm from, a 15 mile stretch known as "The Bayou". He and my mother went to the same high school, South Lafourche High School, where she was a year ahead of him. Nice to see a hometown guy leading the Tigers, he definitely deserves it. Also, for those of you that have seen the Deepwater Horizon film, the scene, where he is driving on the bridge is a bridge I crossed everyday and still cross frequently for work to get to Port Fourchon,the scene where they fly over Port fourchon, I've worked in many of those buildings, pumped gas at the same gas station in the film, along with the Bristow Heliport, it is literally a mile from my house. Just thought I'd share with you guys, this area where I'm from is virtually unknown, so its nice to see it and some Cajuns on the big screen.

Unfortunately they haven't hired Orgeron. Likely he will not be the LSU head coach next year. But he will be a head coach again somewhere in the next couple of years.

Bo may be available. I think LSU is where Nebraska found him. I would like to say a lot more but don't want to get banned forever. Hire at you own risk.

"The Bayou". My old stomping grounds as well, though I didn't move far. If Bebe being your mothers age is any indication of how old you are, chances are good that we either know each other or know of each other lol.

I was in the Pentagon dorm at LSU for 3 years getting my BSEE there. No ac allowed. Sweated my balls off. It was a 5 minute walk to the stadium. There was some wild stuff in the student section. They'd put filthy dirty chants in the tiger rag to shout in unison at the game. Look on youtube. We used to taunt the sherrifs deputies coming in trying to maintain order. Fun times.
