Washington D.C. with kids
Posted by GentleJackJones on 2/2/26 at 1:18 pm
I'm going for work in mid-March. The company has set me up with a hotel. That said, given the timing with Spring Break, my wife and two kids will be meeting me two days later after the conference. They are 4 and 8.
1. Where should we stay (preferably AirBnB as opposed to a hotel - more room to spread out, make a meal / order pizza if staying in one night, etc)? I guess we'd prefer places/neighborhoods that are walkable to sites, shopping, and restaurants?
2. Any places we should avoid staying?
3. What activities and what should we see (with the kids, of course)? What should we not see and/or skip?
4. Any recommendations on places to eat and/or grab drink that are kid friendly? At best, my kids could handle an upscale pub...that, unfortunately, is about it.
5. Is it easy enough getting around via car ... I'm not too sure I want them on the Metrorail.
6. Should I even be looking at extending the trip and brining the kids? Are they too young? Should the government shutdown heavily impact the trip?

re: LSU WR embarrassing a Texas DB…as usual.

LSU literally went over to the Texas bench and helped themselves to their water...I can't think of a more alpha move for LSU and beta move for Texas to let it happen.
re: Mascona said Will Wade not happening

LSU doesn't prioritize basketball and has an old, outdated arena. We aren't getting anyone of note...
We were lucky to find a diamond in the rough with Wade and we, in natural Louisiana fashion, fricked it up.

re: Better story: Cignetti or Orgeron?
Posted by GentleJackJones on 1/26/26 at 8:20 am to magildachunks
The better “story” is Coach O. We’ve already seen the movie, Hoosiers , which is what Cignetti accomplished. Bringing the underdog, little ole Indiana to a championship — that story has been done before.
Coach O, a Louisiana native, that wasn’t able to play for LSU, was a failed head coach. He gets a second chance and assembles the best team ever, has a Heisman winning QB, hoists the NC trophy in New Orleans of all places … you can’t make it up.

DId USC offer to play week 0? Yes or no? They did not weasel out. They did not want to play in the middle of their conference schedule. The cult at South Bend does not have to worry about a conferemce schedule which anyone with an IQ above room temperature realizes is far tougher when traditional foes are at you week after week..
quote:
For the 80th time, you can’t just snap your fingers and play week 0. If neither team plays at Hawaii during the season, the game has to be international. It can’t just be “let’s move it from week 13 to week 0 in the Coliseum.” It was not a legitimate, feasible offer that late in the game (which USC knew), when the assumption had been it would be played in LA. With a few years of planning, sure, it could’ve been arranged.
This. Regular Joe fan does not realize the nuances to playing week 0. That’s some “excuse” USC and its coward HC and AD weaseled up. Your coach also tried to weasel out of the LSU game. You’re cowards. You’re a once great, now beta program that weaseled out of the ND series because (1) You want the easiest path to the CFB Playoffs as possible; and (2) You were tired of getting your arse kicked by Notre Dame.

They used to play a great schedule. But now they have no incentive. They’ll cut the tough teams they have already. They used to play USC, Michigan every year. Who am I missing. But those games were usually good.
We all know schedules aren’t made 180 days in advance — these things are penciled in many years in advance.
USC was the cowards that weaseled out of the rivalry, not Notre Dame.
Looking at their schedule next year, they’ve got Wisconsin (probably when scheduled, the were decent), Michigan State (same), BYU (top 15), Miami (runner up), SMU (decent), Navy (top 25). Not a gauntlet, but also not as bad as it seems.
In the next few years, however:
2027: Michigan State, Auburn, GT, VT, Clemson, Navy, BYU
2028: Texas, Arkansas, Auburn, Navy, Clemson, VT, Clemson, Miami, Pitt
2029: Alabama, Texas, NC State, GT, FSU, Clemson, Navy
It gets a lot more challenging (especially with Franklin to VT). Stop making me defend Notre Dame.

There is a reason there are so few Independents these days it’s an outdated business model. Notre Dame is stuck in the 60’s and 70’s.
Because other schools are unable to pull it off. It’s that simple.
If Alabama was truly a national brand (it isn’t) and was able to pull of independence (it couldn’t), it would.
You’re not sharing revenue with anyone. It’s a tremendous model if you can do it.
Fact is, Notre Dame was forced into being an independent (Big Ten/Michigan/Yost blocked them because they were anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant). They made their identity by going coast to coast and playing anyone. That stuck and here we are.

agreed. I’m as thrilled as the next guy about what Kiffin has done so far and was NEVER a fan of BK. However I find it odd that we can’t just celebrate the recruiting/transfer victories without the need to immediately make it about trashing the former coach.
It hasn’t even been two months since Kiffin has been hired. Think about what he’s accomplished and the energy around the program as opposed to that useless sack of shite.

The playoffs are about to be expanded to 16, maybe 24 teams. Who cares? This is a useless topic

Can we relish that BK is gone?
Posted by GentleJackJones on 1/23/26 at 11:33 pm
Can we all take just a moment and relish in the fact that Kelly is gone?
Seriously, is that charlatan perhaps the biggest phony, loser since Hallman? Perhaps DiNardo? DiNardo had more of a challenge in my opinion and equivalent success …
With that Masshole loser gone, the air is fresher, the grass is greener, the birds are chirping again…
Kiffin can leave us high and dry after next season for all we know, but at least
we have a pep in our step…some mojo…something to look forward to unlike being attached to that useless, dead weight, worthless piece of shite “BK.”
Stick to Grand Valley State you poser of a coach…

Some franchises simply don’t even try to win. We all know, and Saleh knows, it will be a 2 or 3 year experiment depending on the record in year 2 and then he’ll be gone.
This. It’s like they’re intentionally trying to lose and tank the franchise. I can’t believe they’re doing this when they’re about to be finished building a new stadium.
