    Y'all might not know this but Pittsburgh Steeler Hall of Fame and 4-time Super Bowl champion(barf...I'm a COWBOYS FAN so this is painful sorta) Terry Bradshaw was quarterback at LA Tech back in the day. He's also from my adopted "hometown" since 1991 of Shreveport. I attended NLU(Northeast Louisiana University) now Louisiana Monroe and a bitter rival to Tech. Back in the day BOTH NLU and LA Tech had two of the premiere women's basketball teams. Ruston is a nice town. I drive through it on my trips from Shreveport to Monroe several times a month. It's cool to see my "neck o the woods" on YT. But honestly my allegiance as a native Arkansan runs deep Razorback Red since the 70s. But it was fun following NLU when they won the National Championship in Division II football. Stan Humphries(also from Shreveport) was the quarterback. Fun times indeed.

      @@michaelradin yep they torn down the old score board to build a new one that's bigger.(3128 ft. Biggest score board in Louisiana)It's a two phase project building. First they will put the score board up and then build a whole building over there. It will take two years to complete the whole thing.

As far as restaurants go I haven't personally ate at many but there's a place called the dawg house down town I heard was good. But I don't know I don't live in Ruston but I do go to Tech. Ruston in my opinion is a great college town with great people and restaurants but I haven't been to many. The school is such a great place. I personally think Tech is such an underrated school.
