Yeah, these guys are terrifying.

Sark knows what's up. College football is now little more than straight up financial warfare, and LSU gives Lane a better chance. Especially against teams like Texas with massive war chests.

I like Grace, but come on. Morro setting the standard there.....

I remember sitting in a mostly empty stadium for some of those games. People had paper sacks on their heads.
Pretty sure the kids will want to quit playing after that. How can you blame them?

It’s Alex Bregman and it’s not even close…


Agreed. Theriot was always a favorite of mine, at least defensively. He and Fontenot in the middle infield were fun to watch.
I think that's fair. Millions of kids and adults see Messi as a god. Amazing that a basically non-verbal adult can achieve what he's achieved.
I feel badly for Jonas. One of the nicest and most talented guys in cycling.

He was woken up at 2:00 AM for a freaking drug test. BS.

Still no word on a Roman Anthony return, either. I enjoyed watching them when he and Bregman were in the lineup last year.
My brother-in-law, John Peel, did as a defensive end for Ole Miss. Played against Charles Alexander. Said tackling Alexander was like tackling a mountain. Here he is (over pursuing) and Charles running free.

John had 13 tackles. 2 for loss, but LSU romped.

I had a bloodhound named Woodrow and a little pit mix named Gus.

I also have a full size replica of the Hat Creek sign my son-in-law made me. A first edition of the book.

If you've never been to the Witliff Collection at Texas State university, you should go see it. They've got all the memorabilia from the film as well as Witliff's photos from the set.
Sooners are in trouble with this kid. Best case is you make sure you burn him so he can't pitch again tomorrow.

we were sneaking onto the dunes at night in our trucks when it was scrub oaks and rattlesnakes. on 98, between PCB and Fort Walton Bch, there was a Green Knight Liquors. That was it.


Yep! We used to go to some bar. Night Town? I just remember a lot of women and driving back with one eye open.
Georgia is fighting for tomorrow. Long way from over.
Photo is AI generated, btw.
Destin is an SEC destination. Everyone reps their team on the beach with their hats, coolers and whatnot. Lots of Ole Miss, State, LSU, Alabama and Arkansas folks.

I practically lived there in my summers and always hung out around Silver Dunes back in its heyday. Then a lot of the Memphis crowd moved east down 30A. I remember the Back Porch when it was a shack.

I know this is super late but Rodriguez better be glad he’s good. What kind of asshat shakes his head at the pitcher after a called strike?


The game has changed and not necessarily for the better. If you'd done that against Bob Gibson, you wouldn't have a head after the next at bat.
That last pitch to Jackson was unhittable.
Texas uniforms look pretty sharp.
