So there is going to be a JUCO football program out of Lafayette in case you all haven’t seen. The Louisiana Community Christian Huskies. They’ve been announcing commits, are on social media and everything. Their head coach is Seth Johnson who just won a national title in Florida in some homeschool football league. Thoughts?
I thought we already had JUCO football to the East of us :DQuote:

They are so freaking stupid.
What’s wrong with us having a JUCO feeder for the guys that can’t qualify that can’t go out of state?Quote:

And start teaching these LA kids truthful Civics, and Government courses about our country and how it’s suppose to work along with a mandatory “no liberal spinning” class on the US Constitution; not to mention how to actually read and write.
As you can see by the title, the school is not a public college. This is a Private institution starting a football program.Quote:

I don't know the costs of operating a football team, but it would be nice to be able to place non-qualifiers at BPCC.
The could play in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southw...all_Conference
Good Grief!
It really matters not to me as I still think it's freaking stupid and typical Louisiana.Quote:

Leave it to TylerTechsas to bring up an anti liberal civics class lol I’m just talking about DAWGS for our football program.

Yes, Trump Divinity Syndrome is a real problem among former conservatives who abandoned their principles to follow the new messiah.Quote:

I'm serious though that you need to talk to someone. As your online friend for nearly 2 decades, I can see you getting worse. You really, really need something else to occupy your mind. Following politics is a civic responsibility, and generally a good thing. But you know what they say about too much of a good thing ... I'd urge you to ask someone in your family if they're concerned whether your interest in politics is becoming unhealthy.
How many kids do we get from Louisiana College? If you end up at the new Christian Juco in Lafayette.....Elliot came from Blinn, hopefully we have better options next year.Quote:

It was, and still is, a binary choice and we went with the obvious, the side that doesn't kill babies and upholds religious freedom and capitalism.Quote:

I'll let Tyler speak for himself, but I'm sure he was referring to the state of Louisiana's propensity of having TOO MANY COLLEGES already, thus very few are successful, and frankly many should be shuttered.
Thank goodness we have a few intelligent folks on BB&B. Thanks HD!Quote:

I'm personally of the position that Louisiana already has too many fried chicken chains. But I'm not expecting the state of Louisiana to shut down any proposed new ones. Let the market handle it.
You fellas still believe in the free market right?
I always thought the argument was that there are too many 4 year public universities in Louisiana.Quote:

And yes.
But you knew that. Thank you, Mr Predictable. LOL!
Your tax dollars don’t pay for the chicken chain, so nobody really cares what you think about that. The MARKET will take care of that.
Who said anything about the state of Louisiana shutting down the new private school? I never suggesed having state authorities close down the new PRIVATE school. Just more FAKE NEWS. However some of us have been suggesting for years that some of Louisiana’s STATE supported schools need to be shuttered. That’s different, because taxpayers pay for that.
The fact that this is a private college receiving no tax dollars is really immaterial to the larger point that was made. The material point is that it’s another college, something that some of us believe is absurd for Louisiana, regardless of whether it is publicly or privately supported. It doesn’t mean that we think it is illegal, or should be shut down. However, if you are of the mindset that there’s only so many students and so much money to go around for higher education in the state of Louisiana, then every dollar that goes to this new “private” college, is theoretically another dollar that can’t and won’t potentially go to LA Tech, NSU, Grambling, or any of the other 9,000 colleges based in Louisiana, regardless of whether they are public (e.g., LA Tech) or private (e.g., Centenary).
Maybe this new school will be so overwhelmingly successful as to negate the demand for continuing public institutions in Eunice, Thibodaux, etc.Quote:

Further, Tulane is exempt from property tax and most sales taxes as an educational institution. That amounts to over $500 million annually, according to one source. Tulane benefits from public services such as police, fire, and public works to maintain streets on campus, services for which it pays exactly $0 for.
So, yeah, let's have our "intellectual issue" and stick to the real truth.
Always cost taxpayers.Quote:
