Stories about student-athletes being students aren’t all that rare, especially insofar as Our Lady’s University is concerned, but when they emanate from the Gug, you get just a touch more of the feels than usual.
It is in that spirit, I commend to you the news that Corey Robinson, a wide-receiver who is rarely covered by the mainstream media, is running for Student Body President. In the Observer’s report, Corey has managed to craft an academic schedule that will allow him to go “all-in” on the field and in the service of his constituents, as it were.
In related news, another chronically under-reported-on player, Jerry Tillery, announced that he will be serving as campaign manager for a rival ticket. No word, yet, on Terry Jillery’s political aspirations.
It’s nice to see these two young men coming out of their shells, finally.

Bayou Irish is a Jersey boy and Double Domer who fell under New Orleans' spell in 1995. He's been through Katrina and fourteen years in the Coast Guard, so we cut him some slack, mostly in the form of HLS-subsidized sazeracs. But, when he's not face down on the bar and communing with the ghosts of Faulkner and Capote at the Carousel Bar in the Hotel Monteleone, he's our man in SEC-land, doing his best to convince everyone around him that Graduation Success Rate is a better indicator of success than the number of MNC's won in the last five years.
