This is so sad, but you knew the end was near. RIP -- G.O.A.T.

So they start tallying ballots before Election Day

I don't know what's going on in Florida, but in both Texas and Tennessee rumors run rampant of voting irregularities. In Texas reports of votes cast for Gina Hinojosa are showing up as "Greg Abbott" on the printout, and in Tennessee votes cast for Jerri Green are defaulting to "Marcia Blackburn."

The printed record of cast ballots is the only safeguard a voter has in Texas, in an effort to prevent fraud. I did my civic duty yesterday in West Pearland and voted at the community center on Country Place Drive. The process was efficient and quite rapid considering the voting traffic at that location. And, I did check and recheck the ballot printout thoroughly, before scanning and submitting it.

none to impeach Omar

It's two totally different kennels of fish.

I'm pretty sure the position of Secretary of Defense is far more influential and vital to our nation than the input of one out of 435 members of the House. Also I don't believe Ilhan Omar is unopposed in her bid for reelection. The voters in her Minnesota district could choose to "impeach" her at the ballot box in this year's election.
That would be a solution if you had any sanity in the leadership of this country. But Trump's gonna Trump ... he seriously dgaf

Last year was the worst ever for McMahon. Not only were we losing almost every SEC game, but losing to really bad teams -- AT HOME! And our best players were mostly hurt during SEC play

So? Are we a free country, or what? And what does singing a tired, antiquated song that's over 200 years old, and generally irrelevant to today's America, have to do with BASKETBALL?
Vote for the "freak". It's important.

That was a rough schedule. After the first two games (Colorado and Rice) nothing came easy. Wake Forest, McClendon's last stand, was a very good team, and the Tigers beat em handily. I was elated to see Charlie Mac go out a winner after so many years on the sidelines.
It'll be a sticky wicket, esp in Cliff Hare
South Carolina back when Spurrier coached them. He always put us in purples whenever he had the chance
No way, Jose!

Traditionally we wore the purple jerseys on the road. For a homestanding SEC opponent to decide they're wearing their white jerseys, is to my memory, re-establishing normalcy. Florida, Miss.St., Miami, Tulane and Kentucky regularly put us in purples when we visited them -- it was the normal flow from 1958 until 1982.

LSU doesn't like to be forced to wear their purple jerseys AT HOME, which was an NCAA mandate from 1983 - 1994.
Also Florida State was 11-0 and Tulane, at 9-2 was no slouch. That 1979 team, Cholly Mac's last, really overperformed.
That was a horrendous schedule. The following year 1989 may have been even worse:

@ Aggies
Florida St.
Ohio U.
Florida
@ Auburn
@ Kentucky
Tennessee
@ Ole Miss
Alabama
Miss. St.
@ Tulane

LSU finished 4-7 that year
Also Bo Pelini in 2020. The defense in his one comeback season was statistically the worst in LSU history.

That's the dementia talking. Trump no longer gives a ph*c about what sort of impression he makes to his audience, he's totally unfiltered; crude. Does anyone think this kind of sick blather will help Ohio's Republican senate candidate? It just may be the tipping point to boost Sherrod Brown across the finish line
Not even close to being the same situation.

Auburn is always a rough, bruising game for our Tigers, esp @ Auburn. It'll likely be a full four quarter game.

Ole Miss is a really solid team, and they dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage much of the game. It looked easy for them to score, whereas LSU really had to work for their points.

Kentucky was a whole nother kennel of fish, imo. All of their points in regulation, except the next to the last FG to go up 24-20, were fluky in their occurrence. Who would'f thunk the Tigers would allow a 76 yard run from scrimmage, or a 70 yard punt return through broke tackles? Or go full prevent on the last drives of both halfs?

This is incredible. So the Tigers are favored in each of their remaining games. That 9 1/2 vs Texas blows my mind --- just 2 weeks ago I thought Texas was unbeatable, and along with Bama the best team in the nation!

Just beat Auburn, please -- and take no prisoners
