Baton Rouge

And what a relieve it was when he made that happen.

 

So where should he take you...Ribs?

 

Ruth's Chris!

 

There's a snoball stand called "Ruth's" and a hot dog stand called "Chris's."

He says those will have to suffice...

 

That's what I'm saying.

 

In spite of himself couldn't be more true. This entire process was incredibly botched yet the SE in question comes out smelling like a rose. Unfuckingbelievable.

As one of the people impacted most by the rapid-fire defections and way-too-long interim to hire folks, I am very grateful that Gary is on the way.

Only he has to buy me lunch, too.

 

It's a buyer's market I suppose.

This Laney fella has to feel very, very, very lucky.

He needs to figure out Trent Johnson from Chad Johnson in a hurry. He also needs to get to know Tasmin Mitchell from Leonard Mitchell and Garrett Temple from, well, Collis Temple.

So far, all he knows is they'd be a hell of a SWAC team.

 

I hope they like to eat. I've never had a bad meal in Baton Rouge.

 

Laney will be expected to pack on some pounds quickly to uphold the tradition of the Advocate sports staff. The two young guys have a long way to go. Laney is older, wiser and knows what it takes to increase poundage. So the pressure is on.

 

Laney's packing on enough pounds. He needs to break that tradition and take the paper in a bold, new direction in terms of waist lines.

Doesn't mean you'll see him eating a tofu salad though. Not unless Ribs makes a mean tofu salad with a side rack of baby backs.

 

Well, if he's having trouble packing on the pounds in Baton Rouge, he can take a short trip down to Acadiana for some good Cajun cooking.

I hear even the salads are deep-fried in Cajun country.

 

If he needs to leave the BR city limits to find good eats, he ain't looking hard enough.
