The federal taxes I pay to the government each year basically equates to working for the first 4 months of the year for free. They are generous enough to let me keep the earned income from the following 8 months of work.

You got off light with only $484.42 worth of sweat being stolen.

So, if Dylan Stewart follows Lucas to LSU, he'll be coached by Spanos? I thought Lucas was the EDGE guru?

re: Screwed Over Attempting a Good Deed

I learned the folly of compassion pretty quick.

As a young bellman in the French Quarter, a desperate looking guy came up looking for bus fare to Baton Rouge. Feeling sorry, I gave him $5. He immediately walked to the next corner to the grocery store at Bourbon & Conti, and came out drinking a pint of alcohol. I felt like a fool.

The very next day, a priest came up to my belldesk, and was profusely apologetic stating he hated to ask, but he ran out of gas two blocks away on Dauphine St. He asked for $20 and promised he would return asap to pay it back. I gave him $20 and never saw him again. Lesson learned.

Now, I only help out people when I initiate contact & am in the giving-spirit, never when someone begs or tries to guilt me into charity with their hard luck story.

re: LSU WBB vs UT Arlington

The 8 home games in SEC play include Kentucky, Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee. Those games alone are worth the price of season tickets. PMAC is going to be LIT for all of them.

To date, I've been to games against Tulane, UNO, La Tech and UT Arlington. Since it's the holidays, I was gonna splurge and get my lady & I tix to South Carolina & Texas in the PMAC this season. Then I looked at the seat geek/vivid prices.

For SC, nosebleed seats: $150...mid-tier: $850...front row: $2,600
For Texas, nosebleed: $105...mid-tier: $650...front row: $1,900

I'm not prepared to pay anywhere from $510 to $9,000 for two seats/two games that could both very well end up as losses & have a couple of sour 1.5 hour drives back to NOLA with a disappointed GF. That Coach purse is looking like a more reliable gift.

I only saw two games of Miami this year: Notre Dame in the opener & the Aggies today. Both games, Bains shined.

Mock drafts have been dropping him, so I got a feeling he'll fall more after the combine, but so did 5'-11" Elvis Dumervil (to the 4th round). In the two games I watched, the dude is a play-maker. That INT vs Notre Dame was athletic AF, so I don't care what his measurables project for the next level. I didn't see his other games, so maybe his flaws were obvious, but athleticism is not one of them.
I guess, after the way that he played against LSU the past two seasons, I thought Reed was a hard-to-defend problem and physically in the mold of tall & lanky dual threats like Jayden Daniels, Bryce Underwood & CJ Bailey.

Uhhh...nope:

Daniels 6-4, 210
Underwood 6-4, 228
Bailey 6-6, 213
Reed 6-1, 185 :lol:

More like small & lanky.

re: Are we getting Dylan Stewart?

Posted by LSUFreek on 12/20/25 at 6:02 pm to
Stewart is 6-5, 250, with 4.6 speed.

Against LSU this year, he sacked & pressured/hurried Nuss, made backfield TFLs, blew up short-yardage blocking schemes & even covered receivers. He's a beast. Pay him.


Edit: Here’s a refresher for those who don’t remember (wears #6) :

quote:

I wanna see how our new Offensive coordinator Weis jr does without Kiffin looking over his shoulder.

Not only Weis, but I wanna see the rb rotations by RB coach Kevin Smith, plus scout potential portal transfers QB Chambliss (pending waiver) and RB Lacy under pressure in sudden death.

In an ideal world, I'd love those names to have stellar performances, but the defense and/or special teams suck arse, Ole Miss lose, which would then accelerate the process towards getting those potential targets in Baton Rouge.

What I don't want to see is Weis calling some dumb game-deciding plays or having time-management issues. Or, Kevin Smith take out a hot RB prematurely. If Chambliss or Lacy suck major arse in the clutch today, LSU can always look elsewhere when the portal officially opens in 2 weeks.
quote:

Whatever LSU coach that shows up to NOLA with millions of dollars of NIL money to pass out will be the new "Frank Wilson". Relax. It's the NIL era. Money talks, BS walks.

You do realize Frank was the primary recruiter for Brown, Anderson and Geralds, the diamonds of this current LSU class (in the NIL era, btw) and postponed their signings as a show of his value to a coaching staff, right? It could have easily sabotaged Kiffin's very first signing day at LSU and taken the shine off the seriously good vibes we have now after they did sign. Frank has a mysterious grip on certain recruits in the NIL era (that he won't even coach), that's more than money.

Wilson once had Jarvis Landry, La'el Collins & Freak Johnson, all committed to TN, then when he suddenly got the job here, they all followed him like the pied piper to LSU. If NIL is close to equal, relationships still matter & can be the tie-breaker. I'm not freaking out, but I'm also not casually dismissing Wilson's potential to steal multiple La. bluechips from a future class, to a border state rival (I'm just glad he's not atTexas).

Better question is, why would Ole Miss want him?

Golding was Frank's DC at UTSA.
As a NOLA bellman in the 90s, I brought peak-era super-models Christy Turlington & Naomi Campbell up to their room, who were in town for a Vogue shoot. When they came down, all dolled up, for a cab to go to the photo-shoot, they were simply breath-taking.

Even though they were of different races, they looked liked sisters as they were so uncommon to "regular" beauties who I used to think were stunning. Christy & Naomi were both 5-10 (with heels, 6-2), perfectly symmetrical faces, long necks, hourglass figures, long arms & long legs. Just unforgettable gorgeous other-worldly creatures.


He said he stopped prematurely. He wished he could've taken another stab at it.

re: Daughter overuses the word "like"

Hailey Van Lith went thru a period of overusing “like” prior to her one season at LSU.

It was, like, almost unbearable to listen to. Like, she said it, like, a thousand times in a 10 minute interview (starting, like, around the 11 min mark). I was, like, when did she start doing this? She didn’t, like, do that in older HS interviews (shown, like, in the first 5 mins of the video) before attending Louisville:

re: LSUFreek Needs Help

I'm gonna ask the Fark Board on Monday. I'm not sure the SECr has that many gif makers, or at least patient ones willing to tutor. I have no clue how to capture video and/or import 100 frames from that captured video into the online Adobe PS in an animation format. I was able do it in the past with my hard disc CS2 program, but the hardware is now non-functional.

I actually think I may even just shake off the 6 year rust by doing still farks for now, to see if I not only have the skills, but also the creativity. My brain has been sedentary since 2019. It's gonna be a long road, but I'm gonna give it a try. I feel the itch. Thanks, Fearless.
Geezus, Bill. I don't recall that kind of tone being recommended in Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.

This thread is proof the SEC Rant has fine taste in art.
It needs to be Deboer, for the sake of the CC board.

The domino/ripple effect would keep this board open with daily check-ins until March. (ex. Deboer to UM, Sark to Bama, Freeman to Texas, Dabo to ND, Lincoln to Clemson, Dillingham to USC, etc). Dillingham to UM ends the fun cuz no one gives a shite about ASU's opening.
