If you want to hold your breath for longer, hyperventilate beforehand and try thinking of French fries while you’re holding your breath. I picked up that tip as a kid and it sounds weird but it works, I suppose because it takes your mind off the fact that you’re holding your breath.

I refuse to believe New Orleans has never broken triple digits.

Under the new rules, players will be granted five years of eligibility to be completed within five years of high school graduation or an athlete's 19th birthday, whichever comes first. There would be limited exceptions for factors like religious missions, maternity leave and military service.

In effect, the new rule eliminates redshirts across college sports. Under the previous system, athletes had five years to compete over four years. There would not be further waivers for injury or other extenuating circumstances.

For schools with current student-athletes who may be eligible for hardship waivers or extensions of eligibility, the Cabinet indicated that the deadline to submit any waiver requests to NCAA staff is July 31. After that date, waivers would no longer be available for current student-athletes or prospects.

Student-athletes whose fourth season of collegiate eligibility was completed by spring 2026: No additional eligibility.
Currently enrolled student-athletes with eligibility remaining after the 2025-26 academic year: Flexibility for schools to apply the age-based model or continue with the previous eligibility rules (four seasons to compete with five total years of eligibility), whichever is most beneficial to that individual.
Prospects expected to graduate from high school in spring 2027: Age-based model only.
Prospects expected to graduate from high school in spring 2026, regardless of planned enrollment date: Age-based model only.
Prospects who graduated prior to spring 2026 and have not enrolled: The NCAA Eligibility Center will review the prospect's individual circumstances and apply the age-based model or existing delayed enrollment eligibility rules, whichever is most beneficial to that individual.

I am in favor of this but I'm sure it will take about 0.6 seconds for someone to sue over it.

I’ve been to Verdun and been inside Fort Douaumont. While nature has mostly reclaimed the area, you can still tell what happened there with how chewed up the ground is. Also, the amount of graves at the Douamont Ossuary is staggering, and that’s only a fraction of the dead. If you’re into WW1, the museum there is first rate as well. Verdun itself is very out of the way but it was a great experience.

I already picked up 6 gallons of milk and 10 loaves of bread to go with my sandbags.

The silver lining of Louisiana being a shithole is that for better or for worse, it will always retain its identity. You won't be able to say the same for Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, or even places like Idaho and Montana in a decade or so.
