I know one of the “heroes” will always be Burrow, a grad transfer who spent two years at LSU, but most of the others that have achieved that sort of status were guys that bled P and G, and it’s evident by the former players talking to the current team and being vocal on ESPN and the like. There’s tons of guys out there that have loads of pride for LSU. The fans reacted as such.

With these guys being mercenaries, fewer of them truly give a shite about the school, and I think the fans will be quicker to turn on them. There’s hardly anybody on this squad that I feel is revered, admired, and truly respected for what they do. I just don’t feel it with them.

Even in some past disappointing seasons, I felt there were lots of guys that had a true connection to the meaning of being a Tiger.

The not charging students thing is probably in the district bylaws which spell out things like admission price for district games, tiebreakers, who the chairman is, how they do all-district voting, etc. I’m guessing teams have to sign off on them to be put on the schedule and eligible to win district honors.

This is the strange part to me. If the “football district” is made up of schools from multiple “school districts”, why on earth would there be these types of bylaws? From a football rules standpoint, everything is governed by the state. I assume you all might coin flip or something to determine a neutral site playoff game?

Outside of that, I still can’t fathom a private school trying to dictate something to a public school when they don’t have any claims to the stadium or its operations.

I like hard copies of things. I still have some CDs, DVDs, and buy actual books. We live in an era where things that are streamed and digital are altered and censored.

That said, I feel bad for people who have no concept of direction. Excessive GPS use has dumbed us down. People can’t drive an hour and a half on the interstate without using it. Hell, people use it around town to save a minute and a half in traffic.

I dream off the wall shite all the time, I mean crap you couldn't imagine and I can't explain

Me too. Especially if I’ve had some drinks that night.

Will Louisiana benefit from the Zohran Mamdani exodus out of NYC?

:lol:

He could turn out to be the worst mayor of a major US city this century, and that still won’t happen. People threaten to move over politics all the time, and I feel like a small percentage actually follow through. Sure, if you are some millionaire celebrity, you just go live in one of your other houses and pay someone to sell your pad in NYC.

Otherwise, just up and moving over a mayor is probably not easy. You have to ensure employment, find a suitable place to live, possibly uproot from family. Do you have kids? Will you take a pay cut? Can you sell your old place in a timely fashion? Leave behind friends and relationships?

Again…all that over a mayor is a tough task for the average person. And IF someone is going to do that, they sure as shite ain’t going to Louisiana.

As I bust it arse for 70K a year, I’d give my left nut for an opportunity to bang home a kick for half a mil.

Maui and Battle for Atlantis are still going, yeah?

West Texas? Or Tech?

West Texas is beautiful. I leave the peace you can find out there. Beats the hell out of the booming CenTex region and I-35 corridor.

I wonder how much of this is our nostalgia kicking in?

I feel like you can have this same conversation for baseball and basketball. How many rebrands are actually better? They obviously sell more merch, especially with those hideous city edition jerseys.

My favorite is when they give some lame arse description as for why they added some random color to the piping, like it’s an homage to the city’s rich history of ____.

I honestly can’t think of any major uni change in my lifetime that has been for the better. I feel like at the time, fans may have liked the new Bucs and Patriots unis? I think the Seahawks are the only others that found a niche, but it’s because they weren’t afraid to go with some highlighter accents.
