re: Aggies no longer the only Corps of Cadets in the SEC
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 10/1/26 at 8:44 am to Wildcat1996
Probably don't need to calling yourself daddy after the parenting you got this weekend.
Also, LSU is older than A&M and had a military corps of cadets before Aggie.
But then again, don't let facts get in the way of the unearned arrogance of Aggie!

re: Wait a second, people don’t love 2002’s The Time Machine
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 10/1/26 at 7:46 am to athenslife101
It has some things to like - Guy Pearce is great, the time travel sequences are fun, and the score is fantastic. But the rest of the movie is not great.
It's definitely the lesser of the Guy Pearce literary adaptations from 2002.
The Count of Monte Cristo is great (even if it's a terrible adaptation of the novel).

Klaus Badelt's score for The Time Machine. Outside of a couple of fun sequences, the movie is garbage. However, the score is magnificent and deserved a way better movie. In fact, the only reason I have watched it since the first time is because of the score.

LSU probably isn't even in the top 10 all time. They haven't actually broken a rule yet.
Baylor
Penn State
Michigan State - Larry Nassar wasn't a football scandal, but that was sufficiently messed up for it be included.

Miami
Alabama

re: Is there a way for this situation to end peacefully?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 9/4/26 at 11:28 am to GentlemanTiger
My suggestion is this:
SEC drops the lawsuit. Says it will honor the injunctions for this year (2026-2027). Everyone after this year is completely under 5 for 5 and they can also say that the "no pro" rule will take effect over the summer when the new league year starts. Anyone who breaks the rule from that point forward will get fricked by the long dick of the law.
LSU says that we agreed to that rule and will accept it after this school year. They can say that the legal process created lots of uncertainty and too many questions over eligibility. The new rules becoming fully active for 2027-2028 would eliminate that uncertainty.
Other SEC schools are able to recruit players who fit within the criteria of the injunctions for this year. This also allows other issues like Chambliss to play out.
Theoretically, this issue should be resolved after this year no matter what, so it's a way for this thing to settle without anyone using a nuclear option.

Serious question. What's the best solution here for a peaceful resolution?
What should the SEC do?
What should LSU do?
Is the relationship beyond repair?

The drummer might be the most attractive - not because she is the prettiest, but she has the best personality (and is probably firecracker in the sack).
re: Nick Saban gives his thoughts on LSU on Pat McAfee Show
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 8/24/26 at 11:04 am to JYD
Don't blame me with the leaving early part. My family and I stay for the entire game. We brought our two year old son to his first game which had an 8:00 kick (Auburn in 2021 - screw that game and Bo Nix). We have brought toddlers and infants and we stay for the whole thing. If we can do it, anyone can do it.
To be fair, my kids normally act better than the adult fans around us, but that is neither here nor there.
We even stayed for the disaster with A&M last year. We watched the aggies act like they had won the title. Still makes me sick.

re: Most inexplicable loss for your program?
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 7/29/26 at 1:28 pm to TexasTiger08
Not because of the opponent, but for the nature of the loss - LSU losing to Auburn in 1994.
LSU was winning 23-9 going into the fourth. Jamie Howard throws 5 interceptions (including 3 pick-sixes) for LSU to lose 30-26.
Auburn was very good that season, but the fact that LSU just tripped over their own dick so spectacularly makes it an inexplicable loss.

re: "The Odyssey" Discussion Thread: it's passed D&W for biggest R Rated film $1.6B
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 7/15/26 at 12:21 pm to caro81
That's the general rule - find people who you agree with about movies. If they like something, there is a strong likelihood you will as well. Or you can just see a movie and not give a shite about what everyone else thinks.

Or the 95% that liked Fury Road and Toy Story 3?
Also, there is one guy who wrote a negative review - his history includes "meh" reviews for every Nolan movie and the Dune movies, not to mention a glowing review of The Matrix Resurrections. Methinks he is Armond White 2.0.

The goal post got moved again. Anyway, 98% is universal acclaim. Do you specifically know the political biases of every person who has a rotten tomatoes vote? I don't. I would assume some of them are left. Some of them may be right as well. But 98% means that just about every rotten tomatoes reviewer thinks it's at worst a good movie and worth watching.
re: Texas Tech needs to pay a price for going all in on this crap.....
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 6/11/26 at 9:01 am to koreandawg
The amazing thing about this and every other is that the court system and Texas Tech are acting like this kid has a right to play college sports. But the thing is that nobody has the right to play a college sport. Those are privileges and there has to be things that can happen to cause you to lose the privilege.
I am all for the university helping a kid to get help and clean up his life. However, he cannot be allowed to be neat a football field. Just claim it would hinder his recovery and nobody would question it.

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
Posted by GentlemanTiger on 8/21/25 at 11:31 am to pjk481
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?
