He was impressed with how brave the Argentines were

Pre-invasion someone asked a British official what they expected to encounter. He replied that it the Argentinians fought like the Spanish then they would die to the last man, but if they fought like the Italians then it would be over in 24 hours.
Looks like a black powder pistol to me. The kind civil war reenactors use.

A thoughtful post. Thank you.

Really? Thanks for the heads up. They switched conferences because their own collapsed and I am sure their fans love it.

I Have a Bad Feeling About This

Posted by Missouri Waltz on 9/3/26 at 9:49 pm
Is there anyone who honestly believes that Judge William Jorden's ruling has settled this? It is not over by a long shot and my feeling is that the SEC has us over a barrel.

I am as angry as anyone over how we are being treated. I do not like hangers on like Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt, for example, running roughshod over a program like ours but that is just the way it is.

Let's suppose we did get kicked out of the SEC or decided to leave on our own then where are we going to go? Who in their right mind would want to travel across the country to play games? And going independent is not an option - we are not Notre Dame. The SEC is where we belong.

We need to tell Harris and Wright that we are sorry but things just did not work out. Then we can get our revenge on the field.

Down vote away but I am right and everyone damn well knows it.

Does anyone honestly believe this will be just a ballroom? There will be military technology underneath it that will confuse NASA engineers.

Nothing will ever beat the old Louie's back when Louie ran it on Chimes Street. I cannot remember how many stools there were but it was not many. Louie cooked the best breakfasts and lunches. A smash burger with chopped onions, hand cut Cheddar cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard. Fries were fresh cut just before going into the grease. The joint closed early afternoon.

Adios Dolly Parton

Posted by Missouri Waltz on 8/28/26 at 6:00 pm
I am sorry Dolly Parton died. She lived a long and full life and was a great entertainer. She also had plenty of less than admirable traits.

It is utterly absurd that our flags were lowered to half mast and now the governor of Tennessee wants to rename the Nashville airport in her honor. Give me a break.

Dolly was engaged in philanthropic endeavors. So what! Literally millions of people give to the less fortunate as they are able.

Let's not overplay our grief.

Rest In Peace, Dolly.
For me it was when I read this book several years ago.

So how are they going to do it? Does the military still hang people?
You guys are moving in the right direction with stadium upgrades and more emphasis on the sport. Now you need to stop accepting mediocrity and adopt a winners attitude. There is enough money in St. Louis and Kansas City to fill NIL coffers. All you have to do is get those people to spend it.

ETA: I forgot to add what do Tiger Stadium and Memorial Stadium have in common? Tulane was the first visiting team in both of them.
I almost proved that correct a couple of times. In fact I received last rites from an African Catholic priest in a Baptist hospital.

Uniforms for Ole Miss Game

What would the reaction of Tiger fans be if Ole Miss decides they want to wear white jerseys at home for their game with LSU? I could see them doing something like that.

There has not been an edible pot of black eyed peas cooked in America since my grandmother died. Her black eyed peas mixed with crumbled homemade corn bread was unbelievable.
