Cochon de Lait

the Prodigy · 11-22-2009, 07:08 PM

On rare occasion I have come back to read sectalk... it is nice to see everyone seems to be doing well.

Since leaving I have moved on to bigger things, not much of a message board guy anymore.

I'm actually hosting the 3-6p sports talk show slot on Northwest Arkansas' ESPN affiliate, ESPN 92.1 The Ticket. Which is part of why I'm posting this thread.

I would like to ask LSU fans, SEC fans in general what they think of Nike's Pro combat campaign.

LSU will be sporting some Washington Huskies-esque jerseys against Arkansas on saturday that sport the phrase "Cochon de Lait" tattooed on the inside of the collar.

Cochon de Lait is a Creole dish, literally translated "Pig in Milk" or "Pig Roast"

Now, this has largely been a manufactured rivalry since it's inception. Arkansas has won the last two straight meetings, Les Miles is taking some heavy, and what I consider legitimate, criticism this season for the team's offensive ineptitude, and now with this game having some significant bowl implications I want to pose this question.

What does Cochon de Lait mean to you guys? Is this rivalry anything more than it was just a few seasons ago? Or is it still largely a manufactured Thanksgiving prop?

Thanks guys, and I'll probably read some of these on the air throughout the week.

Cochon de Lait to most of us in Louisiana means cooking a full pig in the ground (a cooking pit dug into the ground). It's a long, slow cooking process, but one that yields about the best tasting pork you'll ever taste.

Just my opinion but I hate them. Atleast its only for one game

I can dig 'em for just 1 game. It's the color helmet they wore in the 40's.

Florida's aren't really that different than their normal jerseys, really the only difference is the weird looking geometric stitching on the shoulders. I actually thought FSU's were pretty cool. But yeah, most of them are either unimpressive or terrible looking. I don't think LSU's are terrible, they just don't look like LSU.

Haha same thing, broadcasting. I have a 70s prog rock show on KXUA. As for LSU's uniforms, I think it's weird to make 80 someting jerseys for one game.
