re: Coach O is fired up

He also has a noticeable limp/wobble I hadn't seen before until he got hired back. Now he only takes one step in this particular vid, but you can still see the wobble. It's like a hip is blown.

I always thought he was in relatively decent shape for an old baw, with the shirtless jogging, etc.. But now, the belly, the wobble, the lower leg swelling...
Back in 2006, when I read "Drew Brees is a bust!", I thought it was another ranter reactionary troll, not a HOF prophecy.

My apologies to that time-traveller.

Berry is great but he is 187.

Dillin Jones is 5’11 213lb. It will be a 1-2 punch if anything

If Kiffin is as smart as I think he is, I expect him to use Berry much like Sean Payton used Reggie Bush, routinely as a mismatch vs a LB in the passing game. Berry was a lethal weapon in 7-on-7's, and that part of his game so far has surprisingly been untapped. Get this dude 1-on-1 in space. He's electric. Let Jones & Durham get the tough yards
By all accounts from the guys (AYS, AFR, Tingle, etc.) that attended Spring practices, Clark started with the 1's initially, but by the end of spring, Longstreet earned the starting reps.

Now that Leavitt is getting starter reps, the pole positioning has held as Longstreet is running with the 2's and Clark with the 3rd team.

In a perfect world (blowout), I would expect to see Longstreet late in the 4th quarter on 9/5 vs Clemson, fingers-crossed. Then the following week on 9/12, maybe late 3rd qtr vs La Tech, with Clark coming in late 4th qtr. I don't expect to see either backup vs Ole Miss on 9/19.
Interestingly, 2005 Heisman-winner/2nd overall pick Reggie Bush is having this particular NOLA-Houston conversation with 2011 Heisman-winner/2nd overall pick RG3, an army-brat who once lived in the same New Orleans ward just a couple of blocks away from where 2011 Heisman-candidate Tyrann Mathieu lived (Oh, what NORD & HS teams that could have been!!), before being moved to/raised in Texas, and later, owning a mansion near Houston.

There was a teleprompter in front of him. They showed it multiple times.
I re-watched it the same day (...and countless times since.)

Whereas, my Bama co-worker never has (...and likely never will.)
It's my birthday!

Football is knocking at the door:

NFL starts this coming Thursday with the HOF game.
Then the Saints 1st preseason game vs the Jags on Aug 15th.
Saints-Rams Aug 22nd
Saints-Cowboys Aug 28th
LSU-Clemson Sept 5th

re: Fun History about Lane Kiffin

Posted by LSUFreek on 7/19/26 at 7:41 pm to
Key detail: While at Bama, Kiffin started studying the Art Briles/Baylor system and fusing in those fast-paced, WR-spread concepts with his own pro-style passing concepts that he had learned over the years that always hadgiven defenses by his Dad, Pete Carroll & Nick Saban the attacking plays those gurus found most difficult to defend.

That's when he really started becoming known as an almost-unstoppable offensive genius.
Someone correct me, but I believe was that Eddie Kennison, Justin Vincent, and Kevin Faulk all extolling the greatness of Tiger Stadium to Pop, right?

I love that Lane is embracing the LSU alumnus. And not just inviting them for carte blanche use of the gym/lockerroom or sideline access for games, etc...but also involving them with official visit recruiting. I had heard a lot about how Pop's visit went, but I somehow missed hearing about former players interacting with him.

And even though they were preaching to the choir with a kid already committed, I wonder what former players were called out of the woodworks to help recruit Royal and Brewster.(???)
This video makes a fair argument for all the contenders, and spoiler alert, LSU is named the winner:

re: How bad is your handwriting

Posted by LSUFreek on 7/14/26 at 7:52 am to
As an artist, I had learned calligraphy and tried to mimic all kinds of fonts over the years. I settled in on one and would say my style was closer to the “American Standard” logo (non-cursive capital letters followed by cursive letters. I was pretty proud of it cuz signing a wedding book, or hand-making birthday or Xmas cards always drew compliments which, like Pavlov’s dogs, made me want to keep it up.

But being creatively sedentary for over a decade, my handwriting has gone to shite. It’s legible and not chicken scratch, but it’s still a fricking mess.

Here’s what it used to resemble:

I wish they didn't. The Pirates are a terribly dysfunctional organization.
A friend had extra VIP passes and I ended up going. Turned out to be a relatively pretty day in the shade. She apparently was a huge John Waite fan and ended up getting one of her albums signed by him. I only knew two of John Waite's songs (notably, my first kiss was at 14, and Missing You was on the radio), but he clearly had a better set. Good band and he sounded pretty much the same. Probably should've been the headliner.

Wilson Phillips (no backing band) sang to instrumental tracks and their harmonies were mostly off, surprisingly. Now, they did have a more recognizable playlist. They sang their four No.1 songs, but also filled out the rest of their set with various covers, including songs by the Beach Boys and the Mamas & the Papas. Kind of cool that they can keep their relatives' songs alive. I did not know the blonde had married Billy Baldwin, who she pointed out in the audience.
