As to your unwritten questions - I know lots of boosters, simply because I'm a low-level one (for tax reasons). I'm not a "cigar" or any of that kind of crap - I just know a bunch of them. You'd be amazed how much these people talk to one another, even from rival schools. I've been the guest of some pretty influential people, both as a result of work, and outside of work as well

I literally have no idea what that means. I guess it has something to do with knowing people who contribute to schools. I do not move in those kind of circles. Never have and never will. I am not an LSU grad (though I attended for one semester before transferring). I was born and raised in Baton Rouge but I graduated from a college in Virginia on an Army ROTC scholarship after seven years of enlisted service (81-88).

And I'm sorry about my jabs toward LA - I have a bit of an evil side to me that comes out when dealing with some t-shirt fanbases. It's mostly Texas, but LSU, OU, and some others from time to time. I'll try and do better ... if for nothing than the respect that I hold for you and your like

I don’t mind a light hearted jab from time to time. But I must admit, the board has taken it to a vindictive level that makes it quite unenjoyable. We should celebrate the accomplishments of those on the field, even when they are our opponents. Instead we make personal insults. I find it repugnant. Particularly when my fellow LSU fans make gay slurs and impugn the military tradition of A&M. It is sickening. I have several times come close to deleting my account. My apologies for the cursing during the game thread (which is not my character) over Joe Burrow. I find his story compelling (as I do the story of Tua). I came from a very disadvantaged background and love a good redemption story.

So where are you stationed, Wolfhound?

In the Tampa area. This will be my final duty station. It has been a great career. Never would have thought it would have lasted this long.
