Deep South Deacon

For those who know me, I am a long suffering LSU fan. Since I was a small lad, I have bled purple and gold. My dad was a Tulane alumnus, and when we went to the LSU - Tulane game (which used to be a great rivalry) I would wear purple and gold sitting amongst a sea of Tulane olive green and blue. I suffered through the David Archer, Curly Hallman, Jerry DiNardo years and have been in a state of minor ecstasy in the Nick ("I am now kicking myself in nowhere Alabama") Saban era and now the Les Miles dynasty. Tonight, my good friend and fellow deacon candidate Ricky Suprean, his lovely wife Lynn, his son Cai and his mother Elaine came over for an in-house tailgate party prepping for the LSU-Ohio state showdown. We were also joined by Pam's dad and sister Lynda.
