I believe they have in mind something like the Texas Best Smokehouse places on I20 in Longview and Tyler, but with enhanced trucking services.Quote:

That won't be nearly as bad as a Pilot or Love's. I can't imagine how bad 7:00 to 8:00 am traffic would be during school with Tech, Ruston Jr. High, and a Pilot type truck stop.Quote:

That's the point you're trying to make. Yes, it is true, Lafayette has a much worse traffic problem than Ruston. So, since BR/LSU has THE worst in the state, and is the flagship school, it follows that ALL cities/schools should be judged by their traffic issues.
Academic rankings, success in athletics be damned!!! Your school's real value depends on traffic jams!
During the school year - I drive from Lake Claiborne to Haynesville HS basically every week day - basically 25 miles one way - most mornings I see less than 50 vehicles in TOTALQuote:

I also find it amusing that the google traffic app will trip my phone every morning saying "There are LIGHT traffic conditions in your area".....
Tell us about those Lot Lizards ...Quote:

But they don't brew beer...that could be a great hook.
