He went on to give the majority of credit to the year he spent at Hale End before slumming it for 14 years.

Jokes aside. Well deserved. Hell of a player.

It’s just been a tradition at LSU to play at night much longer than TV contracts have been a thing. Out default is a night game. It’s been that way forever. Only TV contracts change that. It changes our traditions, people’s Gameday routines, etc.
Started at $35mm, went to $40mm, now it’s $50mm. By the time of the game it’ll be $60mm

If you are under 50 you do not realize the decline in sports. Football as one example. NFL started it and it has trickled down to all other sports including college football. Go to a game and wonder why you and 100000 others are sitting for minutes waiting for commercials to end so the game can start again. Momentum is a huge part of the game. And this destroys it. Play by play guys spewing 3 hours of non stop vomit and deciphering every play. NFL used to show the stands and you could feel the atmosphere from your chair at your house. Now you don’t even know what the stadium looks like. Motor sports is on life support. Too little sports is on broadcast TV.


I think this is why I started gravitating toward soccer the past decade or so. No commercial breaks. Momentum plays a huge part in the game. The games last less than two hours. I try to make it to the UK for a game or two per season, and the Gameday experience is different and so much more about the game itself than the stuff surrounding the game.

I still love my American sports. But I’ve found I watch soccer more than even football these days.
Just got back from the Caps-Pens game. Great game. Great atmosphere.

Go Caps!

Are you going to move there? Or a second home? If you need any recs on trusted people there, let us know. We have a ton of connections there now.


Eventually, we plan to spend about 3-5 months there per year. My wife (no pics) has EU citizenship, so we aren’t limited to the 90 days within 180-day period. But we’ll rent it out during the summer months.

We would love to be connected with any trusted people you’ve met over there. Also, my wife is an FSU grad and I went there for grad school. So perhaps we already have a few mutual acquaintances.
First - that’s such a beautiful place you have there. Wow. Congrats.

Yes, we’re looking for something in the old, historic section. Something similars to yours, actually.

We can take this somewhere else if need be, but in my research I understand I need a real estate attorney (avvocato), a due diligence specialist (geometra), a notary (notaio), real estate agent, and an Italian accountant/tax advisor. Did you get get a full team of those various roles or did you handle it in a different way?

We’ll be heading over there soon to view properties. I’ve been hounding immobiliaire.it religiously.

Wow! We are buying a place in Monopoli soon. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?

Nobody I know has ever heard of Monopoli, one of the reasons we’ve settled on it (besides it being incredibly beautiful and not directly on the tourist path). I’d love to hear your experience if you don’t mind sharing.

i can probably believe this. This is 2023 - 2026. I don't remember LSU really getting hosed by the refs late in games during the past few years. We've done a good job getting our arse beat by ourselves, thank you very much!

A ton of people complained.

And there is a Native American museum. It’s decent. It has an amazing restaurant, actually. I recommend it if you’re ever visiting.

As someone who lives here, I do hate what’s been going on with the Kennedy Center. It just doesn’t make sense. My wife and I have been attending shows there for years. Why it was chosen as a political pawn is beyond me.

The rest of it… ugh. It’s all just noise.

re: LSU 3rd quarter

Posted by Uhtred on 9/21/26 at 1:58 pm to
We started mixing up our looks more in the second half… showing something like two high pre-snap and then morphing into quarters or man post-snap.

When we ran man in the first half, Ole Miss was killing us with picks… I mean “rub” routes (lol, yes, everyone does them), so we were getting beat when showing and sticking with man defense.

So the combo of showing one thing pre-snap and doing something else post-snap while blitzing from various angles allowed us to throw Chambliss off a bit.

Chambliss is a good QB, though. You’re not going to shut him down forever. Ole Miss made some adjustments, and they battled. Ole Miss scored. LSU got the ball back and our QB couldn’t hit our open guys in the end zone. Game over.

Great game overall. Trinidad is the man

Tough game today. Curious if Arteta will go with Bruno over MLS in midfield.

Brighton away is a difficult fixture. They score a lot, move the ball, and can be dangerous. At the same time, this is the type of game we might see Odegaard dominate in beautiful fashion.
