Blake Cavill might be the most unlikable player in the SBC.

@BigAxeLarry69 Hey Larry, where are you from? You might not want to be too specific…

Having the Southland Conference tournament in an actual shithole city like Lake Charles does nothing for anyone beyond McNeese.
If you’ve never been to Lake Charles, let me help set the scene:
Lake Charles, Louisiana might be one of the most aggressively disappointing places in the entire Gulf Coast. It’s like someone took the worst parts of a refinery town, mixed them with swamp humidity, and then forgot to add anything interesting to justify it existing.
First off, the smell. Lake Charles doesn’t smell like a city. It smells like the inside of a chemical plant’s gym sock. Between the refineries, the petrochemical plants, and whatever unholy industrial soup is floating in the air, breathing there feels like you’re slowly marinating your lungs in gasoline and regret.
And the lake itself? Calling it a lake is generous. It’s basically a muddy puddle that looks like someone spilled chocolate milk and gave up cleaning it. You don’t look at it and think “wow, nature.” You look at it and think “there’s probably a shopping cart and three catfish with tumors down there.”
Then there’s the weather, which feels like the atmosphere is actively mad at you. The humidity is so thick it’s like walking through warm soup. You step outside and instantly feel like someone wrapped you in a wet towel and told you to breathe through a straw.
And the urban planning? If you can call it that. Lake Charles looks like a strip mall got drunk and reproduced. Endless chains, parking lots the size of aircraft carriers, and roads designed by someone who clearly said “eh, they’ll figure it out.” It’s not a city you explore. It’s a city you drive through while wondering why you didn’t stop in Houston instead.
Let’s not forget the hurricanes. Lake Charles gets smacked around by storms so often it feels like the Gulf of Mexico has a personal vendetta. Every few years the place gets flattened like a folding chair at a WWE event, and somehow it still rebuilds exactly the same way. No improvements. Just the same sad cycle of plywood, FEMA trailers, and “maybe next time will be better.”
The economy is basically “refineries and casinos.” That’s it. Your career options are:
1.Work in a refinery
2.Lose money in a casino
3.Sell fried food to people who just lost money in a casino.
The casinos themselves look like they were designed by someone who thought Las Vegas but depressing was a great business model. Windowless buildings full of blinking lights and cigarette smoke where people go to forget they’re in Lake Charles for a few hours.
And culturally? The place somehow manages to sit in Louisiana, a state famous for incredible food and culture, and still feel like the blandest part of the map. It’s like Louisiana’s personality went on vacation and left Lake Charles behind with the leftover crawfish shells.
Driving through Lake Charles feels like the universe is whispering, “Keep going. Don’t stop. Nothing good happens here.”
If cities had personalities, Lake Charles would be the guy at the party who smells like diesel, tells boring stories about pipeline maintenance, and keeps insisting the casino buffet is “actually pretty good.”
It’s not the worst place in America… but it’s definitely trying really, really hard to get there.

Louisiana hit three homers and Garret Carter was terrific out of the bullpen with 3.1 shutout frames as @RaginCajunsBSB took the series opener from Dallas Baptist, 6-5. Colt Brown led the charge for the #Cajuns with two RBIs.

@LSUbaseball The downfall of LSU is gonna be a joy to witness

@rion_davis @TylerJordan You think JJ would agree to play a three game series every single year?
English

@TylerJordan We get it dude. You won the break up bc a different sports team that won 2 national titles in 3 years lost a Wednesday night game to another Lousianna team less than 15 games into the season. He will definitely lose sleep over this!

It is literally your stadium.
There are also fans on red with purple hats on… which proves my point lmao
Nick Domingue@geauxnick
80\20 Louisiana fans in the stadium. Minimum. 😂
