re: The Ghost and the Darkness

I have fond memories of seeing that movie with my since-deceased brother. We had missed the initial premiere in the big theaters and it was now at the local "Dollar Theater" ( For you noobs, that was the 80s/90s version of movies going from theaters and getting a second run via streaming).

What a great movie ...and for only $1. The value was so great, it actually made it better than had I watched it for free (on tv or a friend's VHS, etc.) Add in, the memory of discovering it with my brother (RIP), it is still one of my favorite movie experiences.

I woke up in the 4th quarter

…on the Saints first TD drive. Exciting from there on out. Lots of back & forth and ending in a Saints OT win.

I picked a good day to oversleep.

Side note: I read a lot of complaints about the announcing team, but that dude Logan Ryan knows his shite. À la Tony Romo, he routinely called out what each team should do and sure enough, the teams would run that play or target that player. He knows ball.
The sales pitch to these young narcisists, after a loss, is "See, we really do need you." They delusionally see themselves as freshmen starters/messiahs and there's more of a chance to get that opportunity on a good-not-great team with positional weaknesses.

Correct. The only ability in question is his availability.

FIFY
All I know is when both Dent & Ruzic are on the floor together, good things happen. Great chemistry. They need to play all of their minutes together.

I'm hoping she develops into a Chloe Kitts-type.

Both are strong defenders & rebounders. Both are high motor, efficient play-finishers around the rim.

But (5th year senior) Chloe has a smooth mid-range touch that sets them apart and will get her drafted around #10. Sophomore Grace has time, and I did love that one pretty mid-range she sank last night. I would love to see more of that, especially if her & Mineava (or Caroline Bradley) are ever on the floor together. Knox could also improve her catching. There's at least one fumble per game.

Their OT Goosby is out for the season with a knee injury.

I'm more concerned about Colin Simmons coming back from injury and squaring off on Davis.

They said he'd be out "3 to 4 weeks". This past weekend was Week One. Then there's our Bye, then Bama, then Texas.
Even when LSU wins all three, they'll just say we didn't beat anybody after LSU gives them their 3rd (or probable, 4th) loss. The goal posts keep moving when it comes to Kiffin.
LSU’s Exhibition Record: 148 points in a 148–46 exhibition win against Mississippi College (October 23, 2025).
I didn't watch the game, but had it dvr'd. So, I fast-forwarded to when Jaydumb was introduced separate from the team, and you're right, no alma mater was listed (just season stats), even though the rest of the Washington starters had their colleges written below their names when their graphic cameup.

However, I rewound the game to when the SF starters were introduced, and Brock Purdy had no alma mater listed either, just stats. The rest of the SF starters had their colleges listed under their names.

I think that's just the way MNF does their graphics for QBs.

Kim might just have to continue getting hired guns from the portal, which is not a bad thing at all, experience-wise, although, financially, it could get quite pricey outbidding the SC's & UConn's, etc. (ex: I'd much rather a senior Jada Williams joining the Tigers than a freshman Jada Williams.)

There's also the international pool that Mulkey has recently dipped into. Geno has built many UConn teams with heavy international flavor. Kim could supplement the roster that way.

And I don't know the 5 for 5 eligibility rules for wbb re:Jada, Mikaylah or Milaysia, but if they have a 5th year available, I'm sure LSU can outbid the wnba.

We follow each other on X. Jarrett is a great Tiger and Forever LSU.

In New Orleans, like clockwork.

Is Leavitt coming back next year?

Posted by LSUFreek on 10/7/26 at 11:32 am
Leavitt has a 5th year of eligibility. And he is currently not in PFF's Top 10 NFL QB prospect rankings. (He was once ranked 8th in their preseason projections). The 10th (& final) QB prospect picked last draft was Garrett Nussmeier in the 7th round. (The 8th QB from Rutgers was also taken in the 7th rd, fwiw).

He would certainly make more in CFB If he does come back, does Clark and/or Longstreet jump in the portal, leaving the QB room potentially with just Leavitt & freshman Pop.

Put on your GM hat.
Some of my favorite DT's of all-time were in that 6-1/6-2 height range: Glenn Dorsey, Aaron Donald, John Randle, Warren Sapp, Laroi Glover, etc..but they were in that 285-300 lbs range. Geralds is currently 275. Low man wins.
