DOOLEY TO BECOME KING OF RUSTON, LA

“who has a doctor who’s a parent”

A parent who’s a doctor, perhaps?

I can’t blame Dooley. If you ever spent any time in Ruston, LA, you’d quickly understand that free time is a gift from the devil.

well, don’t blame the booze. it’s a dry town.

Jesus – whoever that woman is — is fugly as hell. It looks like aliens took over a corpse and started walking around among us.

Well from his perspective rather than the university’s, this sure can’t do anything but help the resume when looking to move up to a bigger school in the future. And who knows, perhaps long term he would rather be in athletic administration that coaching, so he welcomes this?

Derek was a classmate of mine in a couple of classes of the Sports Management Master’s program at UGA. Didn’t know him very well at all but he seemed like a really nice guy. I wish him well.

Dooley to “become” king of Ruston?

Obviously you haven’t been here in a while. He already thinks he is.

Brian-

She {Sandra Oh} was pretty hot in Sideways, and she is a good actress as well.

Oh that’s right, she was nailing Lowell.

I once coached for a school where the AD was coaching another sport and it is not a good situation.

The main advantage to the school is that they get two jobs done (or mostly done) for one salary instead of two. And it is a way of jacking up the salary of the head football or basketball coach without throwing all the salaries out of whack

1. - As someone who attended La Tech, I say don’t discount the fact that Grambling is 5 miles up the road. You can pick your poison there and be back in Ruston in no time.

this will not wendell

i always prefered kelly’s kitchen. which also offers the fun of a windy backwoods drive in the dark – a challenge in even the most sober condition.

1. - Grambling has its own set of challenges. Especially for a white boy…..

Pat Dye did it.

He also won with a running game, good defense, and being “sahnd in da kickin game”

1. —

It’s not dry anymore. Hell, we have 3 drive-thru liquor stores (just outside the city limits, of course). But you still can’t buy it anywhere on Sunday. And everything closes at midnight.

Ruston’s never been dry. It’s just been ‘damp’ in the city limits until a few years back.

In addition to King, Dooley’s also been voted the head of the Lincoln Parish police jury, and principal at Ruston Junior High.

All that said, you’ll see La Tech in the AP poll sooner rather than later….

Watch out Orson ! You are getting awful close to Shreveport with La Tech talk.

We don’t want those rejects coming back on here pimpin the Eldorado.

AD and HC of football was the way most schools were ran 15-20 years ago….. only reason it’s not now is because athletic budgets went from 10-15 mill to 80-100 mill….and some of the coaches were not very fair about the cuts…..anywho…Techs’ budget is more than manageable for a person to do both and he will have an outstanding support group…with any luck and his leadership….the budget will get out of hand and we will get back to the (2) jobs for (2) people…but for now it should would great

Kleph, you are behind man. Ruston is no longer dry. Liquor for sale everywhere. The blue haired Baptists still all convinced that means the entire town is going to hell.

Everything still closes at 2 and the cops are still assholes so that charming small town aspect still remains.

How anyone can go to school there is beyond me. People ask if I’ve ever been to jail. I tell them I served 18 years one time in a place called Ruston.

I meant, everything in town closes at 12. Two bars outside the city limits (the Que Stick and Rabb’s) are open until 2.

And Stowe’s is gone now, LD and kleph.
