Uptown is nice, but it’s the same route for everyone.
Except for Thoth
The ride from Tchoupitoulas to Henry Clay and on Magazine from Henry Clay to Jefferson (where a number of other Uptown parades start) is my favorite part of the route.
Had the City forced Thoth on to the traditional Uptown route like every other parade like was floated a couple of years ago, I probably would have considered quitting riding.

Thats so stupid
Lol, I'd just rather anyone but McMahon.
I have not seen anything in his 4 years that leads me to believe anything will change with him in a 5th year.

John Brady - 2 bad years and then fired
Trent Johnson - 3 bad years and then fired
Johnny Jones - 2 bad years and then fired
Will Wade - 0 bad years and fired
Matt McMahon - 4 bad years and still not fired
LSU is not serious about basketball if they bring back McMahon.
I'd rather hire a great high school basketball coach on the super cheap for the next 2 seasons while paying McMahon his buyout than sit through another boring and less than lackluster season of McMahon, (edit - if money is the only reason we are retaining McMahon).

I'd take the Thoth route over the Mid City route, but I bet there is probably not much that can compare to the moment Endymion rolls into the Dome.

re: Krewe of Carrollton float riders removed after aggressive bead throwing at officers

Maybe a third presser and you get to ask them your specific questions
Maybe my issue is more with the news coverage than the NOPD press release and I missed some NOPD explanations.
It would just be nice to get a little more clarity on "aggressive manner" and if they actually saw it or if something or someone was damaged or hurt prior to stopping and ejecting an entire float.
I guess it ultimately falls on the perpetrators not stepping up and taking the blame. This wouldn't have even hit the news if it were just 1 or 2 guys getting removed from a float.

No one is debating it happened yet we want to spend NOPD resources proving it happened
Putting out an accurate statement on what happened instead of some vague explanation and letting rumors run wild isn't going to blow up the NOPD budget and isn't all that difficult.
Something like this could have been immediately released after the incident and squashed all the internet rumors before the got started.
Our officers were notified of aggressive throwers / hit by aggressive throwers / incurred damage on a police cruiser by aggressive throwers from Float 10 in the Krewe of Carrollton parade.
The officers could not identify the specific rider(s) responsible, but in the interest of public safety, our officers stopped the float and questioned the Float Lieutenant / riders to determine who was responsible for the aggressive throwing. When no one rider took responsibility, our officers determined it was best to remove all riders on the float from continuing in the parade to avoid any potential issues later in the route.
No criminal charges will be filed and the incident was reported to the leadership of the Krewe of Carrollton, who will determine the proper disciplinary action subsequent to the performance of an internal review.

The krewe not defending the riders probably says enough.
That's the Krewe riding out the story and hoping it all blows over, lol.
With as vague as NOPD was in the presser, today, I suspect the next headline we see is that Krewe of Carrollton has identified the 1 or 2 aggressive throwers after internal review and they have been dismissed from the organization, without any additional explanation or identifying the members.

You gotta think it was pretty bad for NOPD to actually want to do something.
It's been 2 days.
Surely, they could release something more than the vague details that have been provided, thus far.
We saw a picture of multiple officers posing in front of an empty float within an hour or 2 of the incident and no pictures of any NOPD vehicle damage, as one of the rumors circulating claims.
No one took a picture of a broken NOPD windshield with the thousands of people walking up and down St. Charles?

I am starting to wonder if this was a gross overreaction driven by ego. If I am on the other side of the float I want compensation for my ride being ended
And the lack of details on the incident have let the narratives run wild all over social media.
The reporting on the incident makes it sound like an entire float maliciously targeted NOPD when it just as easily could have been 1 rider, the police not being able to identify that 1 rider, and then going the grade school route of punishing everyone because no one would fess up.

John Brady. He actually made a Final 4. Wade has never been past the round of 32.
How is this even a discussion?
Had it not been for COVID, Will Wade would have been in NCAA tournament in 8 of his last 9 years of being a head coach across 3 different schools. The only year he would have missed NCAA tournament was his 1st at LSU, when he made NIT.
John Brady
Samford - 6 seasons (1991-1997)
0 NCAA Appearances
LSU - 11 seasons (1997-2008)
4 NCAA Appearances (1 Final Four / 1 Sweet 16)
Best streak of appearances - 2
Arkansas State - 8 seasons (2008-2016)
0 NCAA Appearances
Will Wade
Chattanooga - 2 seasons (2013-2015)

VCU - 2 seasons (2015-2017)
2 NCAA Appearances (1 round of 32)
LSU - 5 seasons (2017-2022)
3 NCAA Appearances (1 sweet 16 / 1 round of 32)

NOPD has decided not to press charges and will let the Krewe handle it internally.
So someone's palms got greased or NOPD determined internally that they overreacted by removing the entire float of 41 people.

The Krewe has already lost the messaging battle and not sure they can win it back, at least on social media.

It was never going to be something like when In Living Color (Fox) took 20% of Super Bowl audience for its halftime show in 1992 and had people physically switching channels (no internet streaming).
The internet now exists and I'm sure a lot of people were like me and just pulled up TPUSA show on phones while leaving Bad Bunny on TV.
