Louisiana is three states, culturally. 1. Acadiana -- Prairie and Bayou Cajuns, French speakers, Jambalaya, Catholics. 2. New Orleans -- Creoles of every color, gumbo, jazz, voodoo, Catholics. 3. North Louisiana -- Baja Arkansas. Upland south Anglo, catfish, Confederate-Americans, Protestants.
Not really, Baton Rouge and the Florida Parishes are culturally Anglo and part of the same upland south culture that stretches from Texas to Virginia. Baja Mississippi.
Is that guy from Lafayette a bayou or prairie Cajun, you know, the one that makes the You Tube videos, including the one bashin' people for wearing LSU colors. That guy is a hoot. I doubt he is typical, but I don't know. Or is just a wannabe? hwr geaux tigers
Early Oregon football The University of Oregon’s first football game, February 22, 1894. In 1919, the team moved to its new home, Hayward field, where it shared the facility with the track and field team, until Autzen Stadium was completed in 1967. The University of Oregon, was one of the original 10 members, of the Pacific Coast Conference, created in 1915. Unknown to the public, in 1951, the PCC, was beginning to be wracked by scandal. Charges were made and confirmed that the Oregon football coach had violated the conference code for financial aid and athletic subsidies. After their coach was compelled to resign, Oregon urged the PCC to look at similar abuses by the UCLA football coach. In 1956, the scandal became public. The news first broke in Washington, when several discontented players staged a mutiny against their coach. After the coach was fired, the PCC followed up on charges of a slush fund, and sanctions were imposed against UW. Soon after, Los Angeles newspapers published allegations of illegal payments by UCLA boosters. UCLA admitted that, "all members of the football coaching staff had, for several years, known of the unsanctioned payments to student athletes and had cooperated with the booster club members." Stanford lobbied against UCLA, wanting them kicked out of the conference. The scandal thickened as an UCLA alumnus blew the whistle on a secret fund for illegal payments to USC players. This same alumnus also blew the whistle on Cal's phony work program for athletes. By 1957, the conference had fallen apart. It was dissolved in 1959. Not long after the PCC, five of its former members (California, Washington, UCLA, USC, and Stanford) created the Athletic Association of Western Universities. Initially blocked from admission, Oregon, Oregon St, and Washington State were later added as members. Former PCC schools, Idaho and Montana were left to fend for themselves. AAWU schools were not required to play other members. Tensions were very high between the Universities, and some refused to play their bitterest foes. Eventually bonds were strengthened, in 1968, the schools united to form the Pacific 8 Conference. In 1978 WAC powers, Arizona and Arizona State were added, forming the PAC10.

Good lord, looks like the Predator forcibly raped the Oregon Duck while he was causing all that havoc in Alien vs. Predator 2. I guess the Duck is a staunch pro-lifer....
I don't think it goes much farther then it already has. Historically at Oregon, if their is an internal investigation, and violations are found, there is swift action. Since this is taking a while, an image conscious Oregon is maintaining they've done nothing wrong, there may be less to this than we see. Our university president is a no-nonsense kind of guy, so I don't see him keeping Kelly if this is what Lyles is painting it to be. Living in Eugene, You hear a lot about what's going on with the program before it hits the papers, and there hasn't hasn't been anything to suggest that this will get any bigger.
Autzen Stadium 1of3 Prior to 1967, the Ducks typically played only three games a year at Hayward Field on the Oregon campus. Home games against, high interest schools, like Washington and USC were played at a larger stadium in Portland. Autzen Stadium’ construction took just nine months, and only cost about $2.5 million. Built in 1967, holding about 30,000, The stadium has undergone several renovations. In 2002, a $90 million facelift and expansion added seating and luxury boxes to the south side of the stadium, bringing the seating capacity up to its current level of 54,000, although attendance is routinely around 59,000. (Renovation of the North side is under consideration. If done, Autzen’ capacity would be about 75,000 ) The Ducks have a current streak of sellouts at Autzen Stadium, dating back to the 1999 season. The attendance record at Autzen is 60,017 set last fall, when the Ducks beat Washington 53-16. (I'm not sure, but I think that record has been surpassed) To be precise, the Ducks play on Rich Brooks field, at Autzen Stadium, the field name in honor of their former coach. In 2008, a new, 33-by-85-foot high-definition LED scoreboard and replay screen was installed. Known as Duck Vision 2.0, It is the largest video screen in the PAC12. From 1997 to 2001, the Ducks had a 23-game home winning streak at Autzen Stadium. The streak ended with a 49-42 loss to Stanford, (which also cost the Ducks a trip to the BCS Championship game).
