I hear what you are saying. I, like many other actual Southern GRADUATES wouldn't get one, but I am sure some Scotlandville residents would. I was speaking only about my fellow alumni, not the locals.

:o

LMAO!

By the way, I am a second-generation graduate of Southern University and A&M College. My wife was born and raised in Baton Rouge and is an LSU grad. Personally, I make a clear distinction between those of us that attended SU and those that just live in the area. All in all, I feel that I know the people in Baton Rouge pretty well, but I don't lump them in with SU and LSU students/alumni in terms of behavior, customs, and the like. My original statement only included Southern alumni and current students, not someone who lives on Avenue C and just goes to games.

I got you one generation beat. I'm a third-generation graduate :o did I actually ACKNOWLEDGE THAT!?!!? :o Anyway, there are some who have graduated from SU that would probably purchase that casket (if they knew it was available). I am from the Big Raggedy as well.

Some of those folks from "The Field" are graduates too. :p

:D

I can't believe Knowledge Eternal just posted that...... :eek: :eek:

I bet I know a few old head alumna from Spelman that would buy it. I don't know how connected you are to Atlanta alumna abaici, but I could see Miss Minnie (God rest her soul!) or Miss Simon buying one of them! LOL

I'm in Los Angeles, and I'm semi-connected to our alumnae chapter (financially support, and occasional appearance). However, I have noticed that "old heads" can take it there sometimes (thinking about my older sorors who rock the AKA tennis shoes, vest, and what not). But, I would never call them tacky if they did it. I feel that older people can do whatever they want without comment from me. They EARNED it!

*** No offense to any sorors who own the aforementioned 'nalia***
