A Strange Habit of Mind - Andrew Klavan (sequel to When Christmas Comes)

Odyssey of a Friend - William F Buckley

Know What You’re For - Jeff Henderson
Sorry I guess I just assumed people knew I meant LSU graduation. Apparently it was E.J. Ourso himself that gave out the green pens and signed his checks in green so his employees would know one day they could make the big money and sign someone else’s checks (or something like that)
Anyone in attendance? Anyone remember who the speaker was and about his story of always signing his employees checks in green pen? He event went so far as to give all the graduates that day a green pen with an explanation. Mine is boxed up in storage so no chance of getting to it but trying to regurgitate some of the info/story if anyone knows it...

THanks!
Search function going to slow:

Who is the person in the commercial for the History of the Sec - Saturday’s in the South documentary? The ghost of Dr. John?
The little microphones hanging from the roof (I seent ‘em) at UW reverberating sound to the speakers mounted under the roof probably help a little too.
I unfortunately live out of town now and work saturdays and it keeps me from being able to go, but like others said I don't want to lose them in the hopes of eventually moving back to Louisiana. I will sell them at a loss, only want to recoup my ticket fee, the tradition fund is a wash. If they sell for over face value at auction I credit the customer back the difference
Hands down favorite film. I quote it all the time subtly...rarely does anyone ever pick up on it. Incredibly underrated, somehow. The film that made me want to write movies.
All I gotta say is. I was hungover an entire week after I had mine there.

Haha, some people are confident in their ignorance. It's cute.

But hey, at the end of the day, you've got to do what's best for you. If that's a suit -unequivocally- great. But to be so definitive in your opinion, when a sport coat and trousers can do a lot for wardrobe, seems like something you should have ditched in high school. I see guys everyday look sharp in it. It's easier to mess up, but if you stick to the classics, you'll be golden.

Lots of adult men would disagree with you. I wouldn't ever suggest a sport coat and trousers to a wedding or funeral, that does seam juvenile. But when you have to wear a tie every day, a sport coat and slacks can be a workhorse alternative, and a good way to break up the monotony of the day to day.

def a look you kill after high school. Esp if you're going to wear a tie. Get a suit


Not accurate. There's a time and place for everything.

I work at Sid Mashburn in Atlanta if any tiger fans in UGA country want the best suit for the money. Fully canvased. Italian made. Beautiful garments. Fantastic point of view and design. Complimentary alterations for the life of the suit.
Haha, after all the reasons I gave you a still call it an emotional decision. You're like the "protesters" in Portland....you've lost touch with reality.
College educated, LSU grad, here that wants O as our head coach. I'm not a pumper by any means but i'd like to see him get the job because I've been extremely impressed with the turn around the program has made under his watch.

I'm realistic enough to know that college football is a strange game and nothing is a given. That's the reason the young men line up and play the game each week. So many on here act like they know everything about every team and who will win every game yet the Pitts of the world still beat Clemson, and Iowas still beat Michigan, etc. Just like "home run hires" don't always pan out. As Georgia fans after one season...in an Instagram world fans are too fickle and want instant. I think Herman would be a good hire, but there are no guarantees. Jimbo has been decent at Fsu with the exception of one year he had a freak qb magician. We had consistently decentwith Miles. I look at the sutuation through realistic eyes unlike some of you who just blindly believing that some of these coaches are the magic unicorns.

People bring up his Ole Miss record and yes it wasn't good at all. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. When I first got the job I have I wasn't really great at it, I had to learn from lots of talented people above me and around me what it took to be great at it, and implemented those best practice scenarios. This is much like O says he has done. He's learned under some of the best and you can see that it has paid off. He has slowly unworn a team that looks as talented as I believed they were at the start of the season. He is a hometown guy (in state) and that's not homerism or old boy syndrome it's the belief that in college football, where recruiting the best and most talented in state, it would go a long way having a guy who gets the passion of the state trying to keep them here.

I'm proud of the way we've played. I've enjoyed watching again, and love the idea of continuity and an easy transition. In college football I believe it pays dividends.

How's that working out Mr. Perfect?

I would love to see most of the negatigers on here at work. See what kind of standards you hold yourself to. I know Miles makes millions, blah blah blah, the guy has been successesful at his job. More successful than most people In his field. And more successful than all who came before him at our university.

Just think if your secretary, or the cleaning lady at your office (Ranters), kept looking over your (Miles) shoulder telling you how you need to be doing your job. A job that by almost all metrics that youve done quite well for an extended period of time. "Do it this way. Do it that way. I don't know shite about your job but do what I want. Wha wha wha! Blah blah blah ??"

I'm as bummed about the way this season started (and the last couple ended) as anyone. But shite, balls bounce your way sometimes and sometimes they don't. Especially in sports. These are kids playing a game. Yal are the people ruining the game and the atmosphere. Not the team. Not miles. They're out there giving blood sweat and tears for the university, the state, and yal and yal do is just whine.

Sheesh
