Joseph's Bio

I am from southeast Louisiana and live just north of New Orleans. I am a LSU alumnus, having graduated from there in 1992. I am presently in graduate school pursuing my masters in biotechnology management. I love the SEC and even more so LSU Football. I try to pull for other SEC teams when they are not playing the Tigers, although it is easier to root for some teams more than others. It seems like the more success a particular team has, and the bigger their head gets, the less I cheer them on. I guess that is human nature.

Nashville seems like LSU north! You see very little country western stuff anywhere, even by the opry. That being said you see LSU plates and stuff every where. I mewt a guy from up here who son plays for LSU No. 72 Seth I think red shirted last year. Been here since June of 2006 and have yet to meet someone anyone related to a UT player. The new Tiger Fullback played just 50 miles up the road from me. 50 miles around here is like a walk ariound the corner in Louisiana.
