So the last few weeks, I've made it a point to watch a few different highly hyped college football games from the last several years. In doing this, I've also taken some time to look up some of the key players when they were in high school and see if there is any game film on YouTube.
Something I noticed was that high schools and colleges in Texas all seem to have a little sticker on their helmet (back side) that is the shape of Texas.
I noticed also that LSU has a little small Louisiana flag on the back of their helmets.
Got me to thinking that it would be pretty cool if every team in Louisiana had a little sticker on their helmets. Just kind of a solidarity thing.
Something I noticed while living in Texas is that the folks there have no problem telling you how awesome Texas is. Even if you didn't ask, they'll still tell you. And they consider any football in Texas to be at the top. If it's 4 year olds playing flag football, the very best 4 year olds are in Texas. Middle school? Texas High school? Texas you get the idea. And it's not just that they say it, they mean it.
I talked to a friend of mine that live in Dallas the other day. He HATES Allen, with a passion. He said "God, I hate Allen so much. I hate them. But the first 2 games of the season, I have to root for them. I hate doing it, but they're playing out of state teams and I have to do my part".
With all the split nonsense that's going on, maybe we just all need our teams to have some semblance of solidarity. Maybe that should be the same little Louisiana flag that LSU sports on their helmets.
Just my thoughts.

I vote for a sticker of a dumpster on fire!! Lol
For real, we should all have a lsticker with LHSAA on it. It would be a reminder that we are all part of one organization. Right underneath our slogan "all schools matter"

Right underneath our slogan "all schools matter" I think it is a good idea too. All of it, the state flag, LHSAA and the dumpster fire. With maybe the LHSAA rising out of the dumpster like a Phoenix. But seriously, the little state flags should be mandatory as well as the LHSAA. They could charge for the logo use, so that gives them another fund raiser and in the future they are going to need it.

I noticed that Louisiana outline on John Curtis's uniform a few years ago... first thought I had was that they play televised games against out of state teams, so they have to tell people they're from here. I'd like to see all 300 schools in the LHSAA eventually have one as they phase in new equipment...

More if you change the color of the socks. They may not win a whole lot this year, but their going to look good doing it. LOL.....

The kids have wanted it too, but you had a principal and a chancellor that were not exactly athletic supports. Heck, they would not let them fix the scoreboard much less make such a flashy statement.

I think the chrome helmets are tacky. If STM worried more about X's&O's and less about costumes, bling, and smoke they might actually have tropheys! They have as much talent year in year out as any school in the state.

Waste of talent.

If I were them I'd go with gold helmets this year!
