I have to admit that I have done this since leaving Mississippi for the midwest…..and when I catch myself doing it, I am disappointed that I did not seize an opportunity to culturally enrich my midwestern brethren. Thanks for the reminder. I will work on it…..

The first step is admitting you have a problem. You are on the path to recovery now. I believe in you!

Unfortunately, I hear it all the time all over the South. I get as triggered by it as a blue-haired liberal watching Fox News.

Make “you guys” “y’all” again!

It made me think of that main zombie from the end of the I am Legend movie

Speaking of, I think a Northshore team could be a good idea for Mandeville. Put a new stadium in Pelican Park off the newly approved second entrance road near 1088/I-12 It would connect to Tammany Trace and would be a gold mine if they could lure 5% of the ten million kids/parents who seem to descend on the park every night of the year.

Yes I’ve been thinking and hoping for this for years! Call them the Mandeville Mudbugs or something corny like that. Covington Crawfish could also work if a Northshore team was up that way

I’m guessing the “54” in “Bama54” means this dude is super old and doesn’t know how message boards work. Go back to tidefans if this board triggers you so much, OP.

I actually knew Tasha personally. She was very kind and was always smiling when I saw her. I’m very sad to hear this news, but she certainly had a positive impact on people while she was with us.

Downvoted for the use of “you guys” instead of “y’all”. Disgusting.

Never thought I’d see something worse than Toonces, but this abomination is very close. Not sure which one I hate more. Congratulations to whoever designed this, because you may be even dumber than the idiots who designed and signed off on Toonces. That’s quite an achievement. If this was TAMU, we’d print you a cup to commemorate your stupidity.

I really wish we still had Fowler as Gameday host. I can’t stand Rece Davis

Everyone gets nervous public speaking. I’ve had to do a lot of it in my career and nerves are always a thing I deal with. The best advice I received and have put to good use is simply to practice. Practice so much that you basically have it memorized.

The more you practice your talk, the more confident you will feel. The more confident you feel, the more the anxiety will lessen. It won’t necessarily ever go away, but that’s ok because you are human. If you are confident and you know your slides, you will be ok.

When I give a talk, regardless of the size of the crowd, I practice so much beforehand that I get in this weird zone when presenting that it’s like an out of body experience. I don’t even really notice the people as I’m essentially just going through a script that I have memorized.

Another thing I do is find one or two people in the audience that have a non-threatening look about them and just basically present to those people only. You’ll see people in the crowd with their arms crossed, or on their phones, or looking bored, etc. If you notice those people, you will be tempted to focus on them and it will mess up your concentration. So look for people that you personally know and are friendly with, or people smiling or nodding, or anything like that that will reenforce your confidence.

If I’m super nervous beforehand, I also try to listen to some kind of hype up music or something beforehand. Whatever kind of stuff you might listen to in the gym or whatever. Get good sleep the night before as well.

Ultimately, this is your talk. You know it more than anyone in the audience. They are not there to critique you, judge you, or grade you on it. They’re just there to hear what you have to say. So practice, practice, practice and you will do great. You got this!
