Things getting rotten in Tigertown.............

It seems as though LSU has been up to Baylor-esque type shenanigans as in covering up and failing to investigate rape/ sexual misconduct allegations..............LSU/Orgeron could be in some hot water.

LSU needs to answer for its Baylor-esque institutional rot, and firing Ed Orgeron should be the first step

 

Who would have thought?!

 

Hard to believe that an sec team could be anywhere close to such shenanigans.

 

Great QB aside....everything ease about their run last year reeked of something untoward....

 

Geaux on....

 

You are, HIC. I do not need to explain these things to you...and I like that.

Rain,

You may have to "explain" these things to HIC, but I assure you that you won't have to "splain" them to him.

 

I had the unfortunate opportunity to “live” in NOLA for 3 years, I would rank the lawlessness and disregard for morals in regards to the Tieguz winning as absolutely no surprise.
Truly not surprised that everyone associated with LSU would look the other way on this.
I pulled for LSU until I went to Baton Rouge, all I’ll say is the Aggies and Tieguz deserve each other.

Mark my words, in Louisiana this will go away and it will go away quickly.

 

They'll probably also have the campus police and the local DA & prosecutors on their side to help cover it up as well.

RANKED: The Most Corrupt States

 

Hey we are talking about the home of the Kingfish and Fast Edwin Edwards!

 

And that “home” would be much better off if one of them was still in control.

 

I call BS. California is WAAAAAY too far down the list.

 

So is New York!

 

I have to wonder to what extent a corrupt system actually convicts corruption. I think I know the answer which casts very much doubt on the whole list.

 

I think looking at it by city would be a better perspective. I.E., southern IL evens out Chicago, but certainly Chicago, New York and New Orleans would be the top 3.

 

Chicago probably looks pristine on paper, because NOBODY gets "caught" there!

 

North and South Dakota? I must be out of touch re corruption cause I’d never have put them up there in top three.

 

Let me go back and clarify a little bit. The people of New Orleans are some of the kindest most welcoming group of people I’ve ever met the food is outstanding. So I did not mean any disrespect to the people who live in Louisiana but it is the absolutely the police, and when I mean by that is if you know someone on the police force they will fix tickets for you I’ve actually seen it happen and you’re just gonna have to trust me on that. The politics are so blatantly corrupt That it’s a known issue. When I lived a person was arrested for killing a police officer and they showed him being taken into the jail, low and behold the next day the young man was found dead in his cell after falling down the stairs “trying to escape “
once he was inside the jail. I’m not making a moral judgment if that was right or wrong but I remember saying... that’s it will never hear about that story again and sure enough it was a non-issue. In this environment- i’m not talking about what’s going on right now I’m just saying back then if you were someone with connections you didn’t have to worry about anything from a ticket to sometimes major crimes. A man I worked for killed someone in a DUI, paid the victims family- and the charges were dropped. This was mid ‘80s.

 

Anyone who has been to LA knows it’s a 3rd world country. I laughed when the folks from the East and west coasts were appalled at the incompetence and corruption exposed after Hurricane Katrina. They kept saying this shouldn’t happen in America. Correct!

 

Did y'all know that no crimes are ever committed on Tchoupitoulas Street? Cops either don't want to spell it on reports or can't spell it.

 

Irony.

 

Just a mistake, but thanks.

 

Louisiana at one time had the wealthiest politicians and the worst roads in the nation. That's what my grandfather told me when I was a kid. At one time when Huey Long was Governor and later a Congressman he required every state employee who depended on him for a job to pay a portion of their salary at election time directly into his campaign fund, which raised $50,000 to $75,000 each election cycle. Some higher level officials had the portions directly deducted from their paychecks by the state government. The funds were kept in a locked "deduct box" to be used by Long for political and personal purposes. There were rumors that the deduct box contained over a million bucks. Seems that things haven't changed much in the intervening years.

 

Read "Louisiana Hayride", one of the funniest books ever written. His exploits were incredible, but he kept Louisiana alive during the depression.

While Edwin was no Huey, Louisiana fared very well under him. How have they done since?

The federal government got Edwin & Mr Marcello, and Louisiana went straight to ****.

 

What happened to NO POLITICS on here ?

 

I thought it morphed from talking about LSU and its issues and then mainly jokes, but I could be wrong.

 

Maji- if only there was a rule against glass half empty here. I can only dream.

 

First time I went to New Orleans was in 1966 with my parents and grandparents to see family and have lunch at a restaurant. While everyone was in the restaurant finishing lunch, I went outside to look around. Some guys in suits came walking by and one guy stopped looked at me reached into his pocket and pulled out the biggest roll of cash I'd ever seen, and asked me if I wanted some money. I told him "no, sir." He looked at me with a face that had no extressionat for a second, then asked "why not?" I said "I didn't do anything for you to earn it, sir."

He put his money back in his pocket, and said "I wish I had more guys like you working for me." Then they all continued on down the street. After they got a ways off and I was going back inside, the restaurant's guy at the front door asked me if I knew who that was. I told him I had no idea. Then he said "that was Carlos Marcello." All I could say was "Okay." and went back to the table. Never thought about him again until a few years later when I saw him on TV. That was the first time I had met a Boss of a Family.
