About

I'm a second generation Bayou Bengal and a third generation LSU TIger fan since my maternal Grandmother rooted for LSU too and passed it along to my mom and her brother, the first generation Tigers in my family. I've been a season ticket holder since 1977.

A lifelong resident of Louisiana, I was born in New Orleans and spent my childhood there before attending LSU from 1968 through 1972. I returned to the Crescent City after graduation and lived and worked there until 1997 when my job brought me to N.W. Louisiana where I currently live.

    Welcome to the Bleacher Report. I see you're partial to Southern Football and Racing. You'll get along fine. If you write any racing articles be sure to buzz our buddy LJ Burgess and let him know, he'll put the word out for you in Racing circles. We have some great writers in F1 and you should get to know Sara, the Empress of Racing. Need to read her work. College in '68? Bout the time of Tommy Casanova. Yes, you were cheated out of the Cotton Bowl in '69, never forget.

    Great to have you.

    If you need anything, let me know by leaving a note on my bio, you can go to it by just clicking my picture.
