re: What was Scott thinking with MM?

That hire did not seem terrible at the time.
He was successful at Murray State and was moving up the coaching ladder thanks to Ja Morant.
He was a good guy and knew his basketball.
He just had a bland personality, especially compared to Will Wade.
Of course Woodward should have hired Wade at that time. If he would have he probably would still be the AD today.
Everything probably worked out for the best.
I am not a country music fan but those who I have talked to seem to be excited about Zac Brown.

re: Archie Who?

Archie without a cast wasn’t going to tackle Tommy Casanova (2) or Craig Burns (1) as they ran untouched into the end zone on punt returns. LSU dominated that game but I have never seen such atrocious punt coverage on the part of Ole Miss.

Not this time. I bet Endymion is paying him many, many times more than that.
I would rather spend that money on elite offensive linemen.

Same here.
I was at that game in 1970, sitting in the south end zone where Archie was sacked.
I was in that southeast corner in 1968 when Archie as a sophomore had his coming out party, throwing a last minute comeback touchdown pass.
I was also there a couple of years later for Bert Jones to Brad Davis in that exact same spot.
The stadium only held 67,500 people in those days but those were some of the loudest games in the stadium’s history. Especially the 1971 Notre Dame game.
They were having trouble getting entertainment this year because the Grammys are the following night.
He can’t block and our OL certainly needs all the help it can get.
Berry is probably the most overpaid player on the team relative to his production.
I just heard Scarborough on the radio. This subject came up and he blamed it on the fact that Kiffin, unlike Saban, doesn’t like to play his starters on special teams, therefore the best athletes are not on the field. The result is lopsided return yardage in favor of the other team.

Yes. They always have the best Reveillon menu and summer special menu because they include the best dishes the restaurant has to offer instead of just the second rate stuff at a cheaper price.

Good place. I like it.
Good choice, especially if Galatoire’s and GW Fins are booked too.

Are the South side dorms still there?

Those were taken out when they did the renovations a few years ago that resulted in the South upper deck suites.
The only reason to go to Walk On’s is that it is right near the stadium.
I would rather walk blocks to get excellent food, even if it means going to the French Quarter.
I used to recommend the pizza and wine happy hour at Domenica but recently they greatly decreased the quality of the wine on the happy hour.
All five of those 4th down decisions backfired including the decision to try the long field goal.
Although by the time of the last one the game was a lost cause anyway.
Bad restaurant plan but if you want bar food, my favorite is Port of Call on the edge of the Quarter and my favorite place in the immediate vicinity of the Superdome is Copper Vine.

re: Potential Tulane opening

I said at the beginning of this thread that I didn’t think Hall was in danger of getting fired after this short of a period of time.
I think that changed after this past week.
He better turn things around quickly.
There are a lot of unhappy people in the Tulane camp.
Very good player in his day but he is past his prime.
At least they got the decision right. The conference championship games are irrelevant now. The playoff teams are better off with a week’s rest rather than expending energy on another game.
