re: Thanks LSU….Alabama now has the easiest path forward to the playoffs and SECCG
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 10/27/25 at 11:36 am to Wolfhound45
Ironically, I feel better about our defense in this game than I have the last few games. Alabama's offense is fairly traditional and pass heavy, which LSU can match up better with. Simpson can run when needed, but he will not beat you with his legs. Not saying LSU wins, but this one could be very interesting.
Who knows what the LSU offense will look like though.

re: TV options for 25-26

I am in Shreveport and the guide is not the most accurate to say the least. However, I don't record games and watching live has never been an issue.
Only issues I have really dealt with are with my ISP more than anything. Antenna works great and the Tablo usually has no trouble streaming what's available as long as the internet works.

Get a cheap antenna and Tablo if you live in Louisiana. You should be able to get every game that is not nationally televised.
Antenna to pick up the signal. Tablo to stream it. Most cost effective measure by far (legally).

re: Which is better: Batman Begins or Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 5/17/25 at 8:19 am to boomjosh
As much as I love Winter Soldier, Batman Begins is the best Batman movie ever made (even including The Dark Knight).
It really captured the right tone for Batman, as well as establishing Gotham as it's own character in the movie. It has better cinematography, better pacing, a better score, and better character work.
Again, I dearly love TWS and it is probably the best MCU movie. But BB is one of the best superhero movies, period. I'm not sure TWS is even a top 5 superhero movie.

Try The Napoleonic Wars by Alexander Mikaberidze. That seems like it would fit what you are looking for.
re: Do LSU fans hate Texas A&M as much as Texas fans do?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 10/22/24 at 12:48 pm to Kansas City King
Nah. The hatred from LSU fans goes:
1. Bama
2. Ole Miss
3. Florida
(These can all be rotated depending on the season - but the hatred is strong for all 3 of these.)
4. Auburn
5. USCw
7. Everyone else. We hate these teams on principle when we play, but don't care otherwise.

re: The most amazing sports accomplishment you’ve seen in person.

I've seen:
Joe Burrow torch Oklahoma.
the 7 OT nightmare in College Station
Les Miles last bout of incompetence at Auburn
But probably most impressive, I watched Mark McGwire hit homer number 45 against the Brewers in 98.

re: Lhsaa hearing today
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 9/26/24 at 7:56 am to Ghost of Colby
You pretty much nailed it. It is one of those places where the tradition and community put the emphasis on basketball. They also do not have football, so that is all they have. To be fair, Pleasant Hill and the other schools in that parish (except Many) are the same way.
They haven't really ever recruited to my knowledge (unlike the current coach at Pleasant Hill).
Knowing people from both towns, I am willing to bet that the Zwolle people have it right. It does look awfully suspicious that they only release these allegations on the day that the kids were ruled ineligible by the LHSAA. Bradley McClaren has been the coach for over 20 years and principal for at least 10. Why has nothing like this ever come out before?

I did. I think it might have settled me on getting a laptop. I just don't know what I would need to look for in order to get the best experience for the most reasonable price.

1. I don't want to spend too much money, but I'm willing to go to around $1,500 (though I am much more comfortable with 1,000).
2. I want the graphics to look good, but this is not as big of a concern for me.
3. I am not really sure what this means, but I would prefer the game to run smoothly (few bugs or glitches).
I do not plan on playing online and I mostly play for story and fun. I would prefer to have something I can carry with me, which is why I am looking at laptops or Steam Deck.
What should I be looking at to determine a nice balance between performance and budget?

PC Gaming Question
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 1/29/24 at 9:45 am
So, I am looking at getting either a gaming laptop or possibly even a Steam Deck. I have primarily been a console gamer, but with some of the games released in the last year (Starfield, Baldur's Gate, FF16), it just doesn't seem a console would be my best bet to be able to play all of these games. Plus, I have been spoiled by my Switch and the ability to take it anywhere.
So my question is what would y'all recommend to get? I really have no idea what I am doing :lol:
ETA: I do not currently have either a PS5 or X-Box Series X. PC seemed like the best compromise to play the games that actually interest me. It may be more expensive, but it would not require me to buy multiple systems and be able to take my games with me.

When does campus close on game days?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 11/8/23 at 10:11 am
Like the title says, what time does the campus close to traffic on game days? Specifically on 7:00 pm kickoffs. This will be for the 18th specifically, so not an SEC game.
re: Any naval books out there similar to the Hornblower Series..
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 10/17/23 at 12:20 pm to Loup
Your answer is the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian. These are very much about the details of life at sea.
re: Anybody ever had a LSU football related nightmare?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 9/21/23 at 12:46 pm to Sneakerhead42
Not LSU related necessarily, but I dreamt that I was at Disney World and was kidnapped and taken to a Florida State game and I had to sit through the whole thing while they did the chop the entire time.
It was horrifying.

re: Fantasy Audiobook Recommendation
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 9/14/23 at 1:24 pm to CoachD2235
Definitely the Dresden Files. Might be the best audio series out there. Just a heads up, the first couple of books are kinda rough (but entertaining), but they find their groove and the series is a blast. James Marsters ftw.
Wheel of Time is great, especially if you have been on a Sanderson kick. Also, Joe Abercrombie's books with Stephen Pacey's narration is just sublime.

re: What is the single best episode of television you’ve ever seen?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 8/11/23 at 12:27 pm to TigerWiz
Ozymandias might be the correct answer, but I would also like to submit The Constant from Lost.
Remedial Chaos Theory from Community is in the discussion as well.

Not to mention that Bama needed a miraculous last-minute drive to beat LSU in 2012 as well :banghead:
And Oklahoma State to completely shite the bed in their conference game :angry:
re: Strange Way of Life - (A Pedro Almodóvar Film) Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 4/28/23 at 8:29 am to finchmeister08
It's an Almodovar film. The real surprise would have been it being played straight. Some members of this board might be down for his work, but everyone else will likely want to pass.
re: So Wired did a hit piece on Brandon Sanderson of all people
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 3/29/23 at 10:13 am to Fun Bunch
I read the article and the guy had a problem writing about someone who is not the most (self-admittedly) exciting person on the planet. It also does not help that Brandon seems to be pretty open about who he is on his social media channels. He is a guy who loves to write and tell stories. Maybe that boring nature is what makes him so prolific?
Anyway, it's okay to comment on the author, but to comment on his family and friends in the article like he did is below the belt.
Brandon is clearly a much better man than me, because someones talks shite about my wife or kids or friends, and I'm gonna meeting a baw outside Sonic. Brandon is the public figure and discourse around him (positive or negative) is completely valid. Taking shots at his family is not okay.

re: What are you reading?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 2/2/23 at 9:26 am to WG_Dawg
I would say that The Road or No Country For Old Men would be better starting points for McCarthy. They are easier reads, but still give you an idea if McCarthy is your cup of tea. Blood Meridian is still a fantastic book though.
