    It's LSU or South Florida.

    All reports point to him signing with LSU.

    Will cap off a good day.

    Bring on Ricky. He is a freak. He will just be another great DE.

    I think Francois will be it, unless DeSean Jackson decides to surprise us all.

    That is because we are the only ones that know how to pronounce those names correctly!

    I totally agree. Unfortunately, there was a Babineaux on the field in the Outback Bowl and he was playing for Iowa...that's just not right!

    I was thinking the same thing. What is a kid named Babineaux doing in Iowa...

    Any Heberts will be cursed with their names being pronounced heeburt... I have a client in LA who pronounces it that way. I keep trying to tell him he is pronouncing it incorrectly ;)

    I knew a guy from Cal when I was in the Navy named Hebert, and he did the same thing. I also currently have a rep in Longview who is from out west somewhere named Oubre (he pronounces it Ou-BRAY). He admits that it is incorrect, though. He has "kin" in south La. who correct him all the time. :hihi:

    Zero U had an Hebert and an Oubre play for them a while back. Used to drive me up the wall everytime I heard one of these bumpkins say "Obree' or "Ubree" and "Heburt"!
