The Happening XXVII

[Dirtydawg]

I did go to the Bossier TnT event and thoroughly enjoyed myself, visiting with friends I hadn't seen in decades!

Poor people. Just when they were getting settled again now they have to up and relocate.

There's no facility in Ruston big enough and it can't be on campus because alcohol is available. The last few years the event's been packed.

This event was started by several stalwart Tech fans in Monroe some years ago. (One of those pioneers, decrepit though he might be, damn near got in a bar room fight a few weeks ago over the Dooley comments. Thought his wheel chair was going to careen through the purple and gold wearing ULM fan crowd of three. A real U Tube moment.)

The Happening in Monroe had nothing to do with Ruston, other than Monroe is a great town and there is a ton of Tech Alumni there. There is even a car with a Tech license plate parked in front of City Hall every day in a reserved space. There are No, nada, NONE, ULM plates in the City Hall complex. Monroe is a great town, easier to navigate than S'port and actually more progressive. What other Mayor would actually get money for a port in West Monroe because it is the RIGHT thing to do and will help both West Monroe and Monroe? Ya think Norris would do that? As soon as LSU Health Sciences absorbs what is left of ULM, expect Tech to actively court the NELA area.

Is there an echo in here? . . . echo in here?

Nonetheless, welcome to the board!

Thank you. Very interesting story and information. Welcome to BBB!

Gah, I'm foiled. I'm working in Monroe that whole month EXCEPT July 28 and 29 I'll be in tigertown.

Easier to navigate? Do street signs give you guys a hard time or something? Does the whole North, South, East, West thing confuse you?

Yeah, well your city STINKS!
So much for not being a competition!


Just playing! Welcome to the board.

Actually, not (in this particular post). Encouraging proactive, regional growth. Dave's theory of growth is very local, limited to retail, which generates taxes without serving a population base. Jamie's is much more regional. That is not to say there are no large warts on the mayor of the eastern city. ? Sigh!!!!!!!!! Gimmie a bottle of liquid nitrogen and I'll work on them.

And to the poster who said "stinks", come over one afternoon and Maddawg and I will show you the real Monroe/West Monroe, with an eclectic crowd (Enoch's, Portico's, Bayle's Landing, Antique Alley, the Trolley), working together to make Monroe/West Monroe better.

(Now you know how to spell "eclectic", but since English above the third grade level is not allowed in Shreveport (excluding Bossier), I guess you don't really need that information, do you? Which is not to say that we do not wish S-B the best. We hope you have and event three times as big as the one in Monroe!!! We believe in Monroe that you grow the pie, don't steal the pie from someone else. Get with the program, man!!)

Thanks for teaching me how to spell "eclectic". But since I don't go to any A$$ Pounding Parties I fear your effort to teach me something will be in vain. Thanks though!

Are you joking? I hope so, because you sound like an eclectic jerk. This is not a contest between Monroe and Shreveport. These events are not meant to be devisive but to galvanize and bring Tech alumni together. You sound pedantic and patronizing and quite rude. Monroe is one of the dirtiest places I've ever seen, and besides that it's the home of the Chickenhawks. Don't you be mean to my friend JAB.

Monroe = "Eclectic crowd"



Someone please tell me he's kidding.

Bump! It's tomorrow night! Who's going?

Is there a cash bar or open bar? Tie or less casual? Looking forward to it.

I hope the announce a new practice facility. I was in Lafayette and saw ull's and would not mind something along those lines. It doesn't have to be huge, just something to get those guys out of the heat and have somewhere to go during bad weather.
