Strange dude, it seems, but nobody has given more to make great movies than that guy.

re: Lets Be Sad Together: Best Game You Ever Attended That Your Team Lost

So loud I could feel vibrations in my stomach. Phantom face mask penalty and offsides no-call on the same play.
Many forget, but the game ended with an LSU pass to the end zone that would have won it.
Mediocre 7-5 LSU had no business playing against the #1 Trojans who had Marcus Allen, Ronnie Lott and Charles White on an absolutely loaded team. They and the Miami team that whipped LSU in a thunderstorm (1988) are the two most talented teams I ever saw in Tiger Stadium.
The severely outmatched Tigers lost to USC 17-12 but as mentioned, there was a controversial late 4th qtr. facemask call against LSU that gave USC life and LSU had a long pass in the end zone in the final seconds that was there for the taking. Loudest I've ever heard the stadium.
re: The five regular season cfb games you would have like to have attended?

I've seen many great games, so I'd rather see the legendary plays that made them great games. Here are my five of many:
2013 - Kick Six
1984 - Flutie Hail Mary (BC 47 Miami 45)
1982 - Stanford Band (Cal 25 Stanford 20)
2005 - Bush Push (USC 34 ND 31)
1959 - LSU 7 Ole Miss 3 - Billy Cannon 89 yard punt return on Halloween Night

When the Byron was in Las Colinas, it was THE event for milf watching and hooking up. Ahhh, the good ole days.
When at Los Colinas, the Byron Nelson was in the middle of young DFW adults' playground. When Mr. Nelson was alive, ALL the top players came to his tournament out of respect. Once he died in 2006, the tournament fell off the top players' must-play list. The PGA major moving from August to May has also hurt the Nelson's field.
TPC Craig Ranch is a fine course. The players had perfect conditions this week: lift, clean and place for three rounds, soft fairways/greens, moderate temperatures and little wind. Without all these favorable conditions, the winning score would be in the low/mid 20s. Let's see what happens in 2027 before judging the course changes too quickly.
That said, they could grow the rough a little longer and plan some tougher pin placements on Thursday/Friday next year so nobody goes into the weekend 19 under!
LSU could:
1. Keep putting numbers in the stadium (B. Jones, Faulk, etc.) and building statues (Burrow/Daniels) but say only our first Heisman Winner's number will never be worn again.
2. Retire 9 and 5 and decide all Heisman Winner's numbers will not be worn again.
3. keep it all flexible and undefined.

It really was a pleasure. I'm so glad they have national championship rings to help forget this horrible season.
Curiel will be a top 10 or so pick. He won't get a statue or his number retired, but he is among the best of the best to ever play here.
Milam was solid from start to finish and a much better shortstop than I thought he'd be.
I'll miss watching these two play ball for the Tigers.

re: Who was the MOST fiscally conservative POTUS in your lifetime?
Posted by ATCTx on 5/9/26 at 12:40 pm to Cheese Grits
The answer is Newt Gingrich who forced Bill Clinton to succeed fiscally. Yes, I know he wasn't president, but as Speaker, he is the greatest unwanted gift Clinton ever received. Clinton wanted to spend (of course) and Gingrich led the effort to get a balanced budget, welfare reform, etc.
If Clinton had kept a democrat majority during his term, he'd have been a fiscal disaster just like those who came after him. Instead, thanks to Gingrich, history credits him with a surplus and fiscal responsibility, maybe the last president to ever enjoy that reputation.

The message here is conservatives are more principled. The data shows that Democrats complain but deep down they like lower taxes and crime rates, so they talk a good virtue signaling game but when push comes to shove, they stay in red states.
Conservatives realize they cannot live in states with sanctuary cities, soft on crime judges and DAs, insane woke BS like boys playing girls sports, so they move to find sanity (and more business opportunities) in red states.
Not a surprise at all. Lefties are unreasonable, irrational and nutty, but they aren't necessarily stupid.

The Chiefs must have thought the Saints were taking him at 8 to move from 9 to 6. They got the best player at a position of need. That's how you win the draft.

"Abyssinia Henry" makes my top five along with the MASH Series Finale when Hawkeye, after repressing this memory, is traumatized remembering the "chicken" he told a Korean mother to keep quiet so the North Koreans wouldn't hear them was actually her infant she had to smother so they could live.
On Archie Bunker's Place when Archie refuses to accept Edith's death weeks earlier and after her stuff is removed, he sees her pink slipper, begins talking to her and finally breaks down saying he was supposed to go first. When Gloria and family moved out west in the season 8 finale was a tough watch too.

re: 10% of vets were actively engaged in combat 28% receiver PTSD disability???
Posted by ATCTx on 4/15/26 at 11:26 am to trinidadtiger
About $152 billion per year is spent on veterans disability payments. I worked with several and NONE of them had a disability that prevented them from working. For sure, there are very legitimate disabilities, but a guy who hurt his knee during training and limped for two months should not get $1000/month for life after leaving the military.
But, going after "disabled veterans" is not a winning political issue although it's one the democrats/media might go along with if Trump initiated a review.

Regarding the career grand slam, Scottie is obvious.
The PGA is arguably the toughest one to win even though it's the least prestigious. The field is the best of the majors. Spieth needs it. That's a tough ask for him unless he has an incredible four days one year.
Phil can't hold up four days of US Open setups. Going LIV didn't help. Like 4 time runner-up Sam Snead, it's the only one he won't get.
Koepka is a Masters threat for sure, but his game doesn't translate well to British Open courses. His best finish is a tie for 4th. That said, Phil's game wasn't meant to win over there and he caught lightning in a bottle once so anything is possible.
Rahm was rolling, went to LIV, and has struggled in majors ever since. If he ends his career without the slam, he will have a lot of money but won't be a legend.
Morikowa and Schauffele absolutely have the games to add the two they lack.

re: Has Rory gotten himself into the Top 10 Golfers of all time?
Posted by ATCTx on 4/14/26 at 9:52 am to RolltidePA
Yeah, RollTide, Sarazen is often overlooked. Jones HAS to be top five. Google his incredible life. Degrees from Ga Tech and Harvard and law school at Emory.
When he was allowed to play in pro tournaments, of the 11 US Opens he played, he won 4, and of the 4 British Opens, he won 3.Then he founds Augusta National AND joined the army during WW2 and went ashore in Normandy June 7th and took fire for a few days. Incredible dude.
As for Player, he and his family lived in South Africa so he could not play many PGA events. He instead focused on growing the game worldwide and piled up a ton of victories, no doubt lesser competition than the PGA tour. When he did come to the US, he won all our majors. Had he lived here and played on the PGA tour exclusively, he might be top 3 all time.

'm sure there would be a lot of debate, but I think this is how I'd put the list now of best all time:
1. Nicklaus - 73 wins - 18 majors
2. Woods - 82 wins - 15 majors
3. Hogan - 64 wins - 9 majors
4. Hagan - 44 wins - 11 majors
5. Snead - 82 wins - 7 majors
6. Palmer - 63 wins - 7 majors
7. Watson - 39 wins - 8 majors
8. Mickelson - 45 wins - 6 majors
9. Nelson - 52 wins - 5 majors
10. Mcilroy - 30 wins - 6 majors
11. Player - 24 wins - 9 majors
12. Trevino - 29 wins - 6 majors
One glaring omission (Bobby Jones) and Gary Player at 11 is WAY too low. The rest of the list is pretty reasonable. I have:
1. Jack -
2. Tiger -
3. Hogan
4. Jones - won every big tournament he was eligible for numerous times.
5. Player - career grand slam
6. Hagen
7. Snead
8. Watson -
9. Palmer -
10. Mickelson - blew his career grand slam with stupid US Open decisions
11. Rory - barely behind Phil, but one more major moves him to 7 or 8 IMO
12. Sarazen - career grand slam
13. Nelson
14. Trevino
15. Faldo

But seriously, Bobby Jones may not be the best example as he has 0 PGA wins from 1923-1930,
Bobby Jones never turned pro, and as an amateur he was not able to play in the PGA championship which was only for professionals. He retired at age 28 having never turned pro.
Jones won six US and British Amateurs in addition to his 7 majors (US and British Opens) so his actual major total is arguably higher since back then, those two tournaments were very prestigious.
