Baseball team played well
I just wanted to express my pride and appreciation to the Tiger Baseball team. Though we fell to the Gamecocks, what you guys have overcome this year will not be overlooked or forgotten. You fought all year long despite nine injuries and Wally’s death. I do belive he was with you in Omaha, as he was all year long.
To the seniors, thanks so much for a great run. You will be sorely missed. And to those returning ball players, I cannot wait to see what you can do in the future. You are a young team and you most definitely have the potential to go all the way.
I was personally skeptical about the team when a ball busted my windshield early in the season during a practice when I was parked in the baseball lot, but I soon overcame that as I attended games and even went on the road to Alabama to watch you guys kick some Crimson Tide butt!
You definitely made a huge fan out of me, even more than I was before, and I thank you for an incredible season of baseball.
I could never express to you the joy, excitement and pride you bring to LSU and the entire South. The Tiger baseball team is a dream, and you are all a part of it. This will not be a year forgotten! Thanks again, boys.

The recent controversy over dress codes at local nightclubs reminded me of something that happened to me.
One night awhile back, I went to a nightclub in Texas to see Johnny Winter. I bought my ticket in advance. I was stopped at the door for wearing a T-shirt with the Harley-Davidson logo. I was directed to a sign that said, “No Biker Attire.”
The explaination was that they did not want motorcycle gangs in their club. We reached a compromise where I turned my shirt inside-out and kept it covered with my jacket.
Once I was inside, I saw upwards of fifteen large, greasy, mean-looking white guys who all had the Harley-Davidson logo tatooed in prison blue on their arms and necks along with the word “Bandido.”
I assume they owned the choppers that were parked outside the club.
The moral of this story is: If the Bandidos, Crips or Purple Gang want to come rolling up into your little nightclub, it will require something more than a dress code to keep them out.

Police, task force should apologize
I just finished watching the ABC Primetime special about the Baton Rouge serial killer. There are many things I would like to say, but there’s one thing that I feel sums them all up.
The Baton Rouge police department and the serial killer task force owe the women of Baton Rouge, and most importantly the families of the serial killer’s victims, a huge apology for the mistakes they made and the needless deaths that resulted from their mistakes.
