Very sad to hear. LSU through and through.


Yep..LSU family. His son Chris played for 4 years for LSU as well winning the 1988 SEC championship. Prayers to the family!

They had a decent shot of starting sec play 2-0 but shite the bed. I don’t see any other wins on the schedule as it stands. Sure they’ll sneak up and win a couple. But this needs to be the last year of Mc-experience.
He’s a hypocrite but he’s right.

They have to limit transfers. 1 freeby. 2nd for cause (coach leaving or injury, etc)
3rd time sit out a year, back to old rules.
had a big party at my house in LC for all of crew who didn't go to NOLA. Good times!

I car from 76 is 50 years old. That is going to be some serious maintenance. The only ones still around usually command higher $$$. Old mustang, camero, Bronco, Jeep, or f250. The only way I'd consider something that old for my own child would be a tank of an old truck.

depends on what your budget is, but don't suggest buying cheap. A decent one will last you forever.

Shimano
Waterloo
Falcon
Diawa

Search any of those in a medium action 7 foot casting version.

This year is the time I've questioned renewing my lease for next year. Have been on the same lease for over 20 years.


same. I let mine go. It was just too slow to justify keeping. However my son is now 20 and mad at em. I might try to find another place. We just spend our hunting money on guided trips.

good job, kill em all.


Yep. Really the only way to put a dent in them versus shooting them while deer hunting, or hog hunts at night, etc.

Can you imagine having $5M in college? :lol: I don't think I'd want to keep the girlfriend, but lets not kid ourselves she had some influence on the decision.

It’s just a place a lot of people go daily so just strange.


I agree. Most of these things happen in privacy of one's own home. To do that on a bench in a public park makes it strange to me as well. I guess I'm glad that in todays world he didn't take anyone else with him (mass shooting or something). My kids walk that park regularly.
We’ve hunted more this season than in the past. It’s been spotty. I think I limited 1 time.
Killed 12 Sunday
Killed 2 Saturday.

Do the Power 4 appoint a commissioner who will issue edicts that carry the weight of law? Or do they convene a convention to set the rules and create an enforcement authority. Will need buy-in from all the schools.


I think the solution on College Gameday was the best. The power 4 conference commissioners get together and get someone like a Saban in there with them to make a change.

Saban is right, you have to change the calendar, similar to NFL model where its not wild west.

This is the problem w portal and “no cap”. Any school can basically get into someone’s ear w an absurd offer and get them to resent their current school.

All his friends are pretty die hard hunters and there was a rush of new hunters during Covid, so maybe it’s just cyclical.


Yeah my son and his buddies are all 20 and mad at em.

The problem as OP stated is that hunting land is at a premium despite the conditions in SWLA. I got off my duck lease, which was once prime area because we'd kill zero's, two's or threes. We take a couple of guided hunts or are on the invite plan. Can't seem to find a decent lease these days that aren't being scooped up by either big companies or the charter guides.

quickest path to 6 figures after high school. Have to get the job first and work the OT.
Same. Went duck hunting this morning and going again tomorrow morning.

But who am I kidding. Even if I didn’t hunt I’d still be asleep by half. :lol:

was deer hunting and forgot my ear muffs. Stuck a shell cartridge casing in each ear before shooting. :lol: worked in a pinch and helped!

Bought some from Axial for christmas gifts for the stockings.
