Just because U die, doesn't mean you have a building or a street named after you, there are several young men who died way before Pontiff, and the name was not changed because their parents did not pay off the right people. I may be incorrect and TPS may be of help, but if memory serves, Pontiff grew up playing at Lakeshore Playground...The Pontiff family did not think that Lakeshore was large enough for the name to be changed there, so Metairie Playground was targeted... I should change my original post from "hate" to "disappointed'
Not sure. But this says he grew up playing at Metairie Playground.golfnut69 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 2:23 pmJust because U die, doesn't mean you have a building or a street named after you, there are several young men who died way before Pontiff, and the name was not changed because their parents did not pay off the right people.

TPS...thanks for that link... There were many kids who grew up at Metry playground who were excellent students and had success at their chosen sport.... that said, I do not think any building or public venue should be named after anyone, if you don't pay to have it built or developed, it doesn't get your nametpstulane wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 4:15 pmNot sure.

I knew there was a money trail someplace...I played ball with Barry Bordelon and was coached by Elton Lagasse at EJProfoundwizard wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:24 pmIt’s a silly thing to be upset overgolfnut69 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:07 pmTPS...thanks for that link...

I agree with this. I also know there's been talk of us being the permanent opponent in the WPC. It would keep us playing every year and we wouldn't have to go to the Box either, Not sure what I think of that proposal. Probably against that as well.Sunamiwave wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 6:17 pm Heck no we should never play them at Zephyr. If Dannen allows this game to go forward with Tulane playing in the WPC in 2020 we will never get LSU to ever come back to Turchin. I still can’t believe Dannen told LSU yes to this but hopefully he will change his mind if he hears from enough Tulane fans on this.
