Yes there have been some good games and I have been trying to watch the two Mississippi teas but it is just not the same.
I wouldn't have hesitated to hit that when I was 16-17.

If you tell me you wouldn't have hit it, that's how I know you're a damn liar.

Now, by the time I was 19, I'd have been on to better things!
It's the same up here. I know two guys who approached Mississippi State with $100K in hand to try to get 4 baseball tickets they could split during the season.

They came home empty handed.
It seems the fellow homies abandoned their friend rather abruptly. Cowards.
Going to church.

My dad never went with us but he told me I was gonna get my arse up and go to church with my mother and sisters.

Resented the hell out of it for years.

The LSU Rural Life Museum is well worth a visit if you’ve never been.
Mississippi State since LSU is not in there.
Over the years Mississippi State has kind of become my B team in baseball. Since LSU is not in it I will be following them.

Also the Auburn coach seems like he is a good dude and he is from around here so I may follow them too.

Years after I left home my dad had one that would come down out of a tree in the front yard and get a pecan off his knee.

He told me about it one time when I was visiting for a few days, I said I didn't believe him. He says OK I'll show you.

He went out on the front porch in his damn pajamas and some pecans in a plastic bowl. He had told me to stay inside the house by the window and shut up and be still.

He rattled the bowl a couple of times and then put one on his knee and sat still.

Sure enough about a minute later a squirrel comes down the tree about 30 feet from the porch. It looked around and then hopped across the yard, up on the porch, and hopped up his knee and grabbed the pecan. The damn thing peed on his leg a little then jumped off and ran back up the tree.

I asked my dad, did you train it to pee on you too? He said, oh yeah he does that sometimes, he gets nervous!

When I was younger and still at home he used to tell me that when he sat outside under the shed to play his guitar, a blue jay with a swollen left knee would drop out of the trees and perch at the edge of the shed to listen.

I always refused to believe it; I guess maybe that one was true as well??

They ought to just let ABS automatically call the balls and strikes and and just let the home plate umpire work the base and call foul balls, interference, plays at the plate, etc.
I got that last year while I was at work. They ask you to trace their number as proof that they are the sheriff's office, because they can spoof the number.

I finally told the guy where I was and my exact location in the building, told him to come fricking get me, and hung up.
Yellow ground spot and a dry withered stem.
It’s like they say, he’s trying to fly the plane all the way into the crash.

I’ll give him credit for that much.

I watched all the episodes. It was OK. I've read many of Hiaasen's novels; guess they still can't quite portray that level of raunchiness on network TV.

The main thing that kept me watching was Emi Ochoa (Jaina Lee Ortiz).

Smokin' hot.
Well I did my part tonight, went to the State-Auburn game. And I have to say, the Dude is a lot more fun than any LSU game I have been to in quite a while.
That is a great one. Definitely worth re-watching some time later as well.
