The 2nd play INT did have me cautious for a split second, but damn the poise that our entire team played with after that disastrous first drive was something we haven't seen in a while. We need to appreciate and enjoy Blake Baker for every single second that we have him, because he's going to get his HC shot very soon.
I seriously doubt that. If he ended up at Bama, he would be right back in the shadow of Saban, which I really don't see him enjoying. He seems to want to blaze his own trail with his own name doing it his way. He's taken his bumps and lessons he's learned from Tenn, USC, FAU, and Ole piss, combine that with what he learned growing up with his dad and then under Saban, and it really has the feeling that this is just the right fit at the exact right moment.
Honest question to anyone who can make a case for one, but is there a better job in CFB for Lane than LSU? Between the facilities, brand, exposure, conference, high school talent pool, lack of in-state recruiting competition, and current NIL and transfer portal financial backing/commitment, it's honestly hard to think of another program that beats LSU in all, or even most, of those areas that Lane would potentially make a jump for in the next 5-8 years.

This might be the source of your problem. I have a business LinkedIn page, but I loathe that platform for exactly the reasons you listed. 90% of the pages on there come off as fake or AI to me. Depending on your industry, there's gotta be other platforms or sites you can use to find some quality candidates.
re: Clearest 9/11 footage I've ever seen
Posted by DandA on 8/26/26 at 7:35 pm to GeneralLee
This footage still gets me. I was only 12 years old but I remember that day vividly.
I really hope one day we learn the full truth about what happened. There's too much odd and coincidental shite that went on. I grew up in Maryland between DC and Baltimore and a ton of our neighbors and family friends were in the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. I went to visit some of them a few years ago, and somehow we got on the topic of 9/11. They would never really speak their mind on it previously, but after one of them retired from the NSA he finally started opening up about it a little bit, and he was 100% solid that the public was not given even 10% of the true story. It was unnerving how stone faced and matter-of-fact he was when he said that. He wouldnt go into specifics as much as I tried to push him, but he told me to ask him again in 20 years.
Hell, on my way to elementary school every day I passed by the small either apartments or mosque that the hijackers were living in/attended every day.

Last time I was in Rome was about 20 years ago, so I won't be helpful with specifics, but I remember thinking to myself that I could spend a week there just walking the city taking in all of the history outside of the major tourist attractions. There's SO MUCH there to see from centuries and centuries of history. Enjoy it, it really is an amazing place to experience first-hand.
While he's so young, it's always worth it even if for just the experience factor. If for whatever reason it's not for him because of working in the elements, heights, any potential travel etc, but he enjoys and understands the technical side of it, the experience will almost surely get him into an electrician apprenticeship or other trade related positions. If a worthwhile college degree isn't in the cards for my kids, that's the route I would suggest for them.
Worst case scenario is he finds something he doesn't want to do early in his working life. Best case, he finds a career he loves with decades ahead of him.

I havent been able to keep up with the details, but is this whole situation coming from JD himself, or is it his mother/reps pushing this crap?

re: Who here still thinks AI is garbage and worthless and won't take jobs?
Posted by DandA on 8/13/26 at 9:08 am to sidewalkside
I can see the writing on the wall when it comes to AI and my current position. This is a topic thats been on my mind for the past few months. I'm in finance at a fortune 100, been here around 18 months so still in a lower position, and with how quickly AI is advancing, as well as the amount of money the company is investing in AI, I can see my current role being obsolete within a year or two.
I could either work my arse off in hopes of advancing higher in the company to a position that is more "AI proof" and risk being in a bind if I'm wrong about the amount of time I have, or I could make a career switch now. It's a tough one.

Those who worked in liquor stores or as bartenders, did you know who the alcoholics were?
Yes, from a former bartender. Same faces every day, mostly came in alone or about an hour before their friends/spouse joined to make it seem like they were drinking a "normal" amount, and rarely if ever deviated from their drink of choice and the number that they had.
The worst physical telltale sign I've seen was one guy had the shakes so bad you'd think he had Parkinsons. He had four quadruple crown and cokes a day, every day, for years. By the time he got his 3rd drink, the shakes went away.

Liberals and Muslims have this in common.
Liberals lack the ability to understand that their extreme political beliefs and policies are the virus that destroys things around them.
At least the Muslims recognize and are aware that the fundamental destruction of the US is their goal.

I know I'm excited to see how Commdani officially remembers the day. I wouldn't be shocked if he held a special tribute for the hijackers.
Whatever he does, I really want it to piss off the Italians even more than he already has in the past few weeks.

re: Winn or lose Sunday, Messi will probably win Both the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot.
Posted by DandA on 7/19/26 at 9:22 am to magildachunks
It's going to be a tough ask of Messi to jump back in front of Mbappe after yesterday. He definitely has a chance to tie or get the all time goal record back though.
However, if Messi can pull off a hat trick in the world cup final at 39 years old against the best defense in the world and win a 2nd cup in a row, he will have my vote as the GOAT of all GOATs of any sport in history. I'm talking in his own category over the likes of CR7, Pele, Maradona, Jordan, Brady, Gretzky, Ruth, Aaron, Ali, Phelps, etc.
You'd have your Mount Rushmore GOAT athletes, and then there would be a standalone Mount Messi.

Going down after contact and "embellishing" the contact to get a call is one thing. We see it every single game in the NBA and NFL. Acting like they just took a bullet from the grassy knoll is another.
Keep booking for simulation and if a player is writhing around on the ground for a set amount of time, say 10-20 seconds, consider them to be actually hurt and the trainers are required to come treat them and get them off the field. Once off the field, they are out for 3 minutes from the second they are outside of the lines. Put a timer on their return just like the NHL has on their power plays. There's not much that would realistically prevent this from happening unless the consequences are much more extreme than they are now. I don't want the use of VAR in-game to get out of control, so if a scenario that isn't reviewable happens and it is clearly shown that a player was not touched and still tried to simulate contact and injury, fine the frick out of them after the fact. I'm talking a big fine like half of their weekly pay. For some players that would be $150k and up.
I hope that what happened last night would be a huge wakeup call to players that want to play like that. Keep on with the fake pain, but don't cry when you get caught. Even if he was "bracing for contact" like Landon said during the game, you don't roll around on the field acting like your shin was snapped in half when you weren't touched. That is the part that was deserving of a 2nd yellow.
