Things that concern me most is not only how we play but how we come out of it injury wise. A&M is next up.
Clemson, LaTech, Ole Miss and TAMU is a horrendous start.

re: Tom Clancy novels

Not a bad one in the bunch.
Red Storm Rising was my intro to Clancy and his first, I believe. Great novel.
Hunt for Red October was first Jack Ryan novel. Great but a bit too technical.
I really got into Sum of All Fears and then Debt of Honor and its companion Executive Orders.
Cardinal K had least action but best writing.
Most of his novels were about 800 pages. You really had to slog through the first 500 pages as he built worlds and storylines. But then you were rewarded with 300 pages of phenomenal storytelling as it all came together brilliantly.
His later works, mostly ghost written, fell off a bit. But still worthy. Book readers lost a treasure when he passed away too early.

re: Should I buy 85" TCL Qm7k vs Samsung 75" Q90F?
Posted by MDB on 6/22/26 at 10:33 pm to LSUSUPERSTAR
I bought a 98” TCL QM8K right before Christmas and kept it a week or so. The picture was nice but it just wasn’t right. Sports still had judder and lacked clarity. Regular TV and movies were ok.
I brought it back and got an 85” Sony Bravia 9. Yes, smaller but the picture is flat out gorgeous and sports are equivalent to OLED.
You can get them on sale right now. Act fast because they’ll be pulling them for the new expensive Bravia 9 II coming out this summer.
SONY is still better — it’s their processor. Will be interesting to see how quality holds now that they’ve merged with TCL.

re: What's the average user age on TD, in your opinion?

I’m 76 and get a kick out of posters talking about long ago, like the ‘90s. lol. So 40 is my guess.
I post mostly on poli board and tech board but lurk everywhere. Have often got good tips on the home forum.
This is a great toilet site.

CIA and KGB did a lot of simulations and torture in this way and found a lot of psychosis as a result. Really fuks with your mind.
Now imagine what this would be like if the condition existed from birth.

Funny quip from my daughter who graduated from Baton Rouge Magnet in 2008.
Me: “ where did you finish in the class?”
Daughter: “uhh,18th.”
Me: “18th!!”
Daughter: “Well, second, not counting Indians and Asians.”

re: Who would get your vote for most anticipated football recruit in recent era?

I agree with all the current selections but let me tell you there was just as much buzz over RB Garry James and WR Todd Kinchen in the 70s and 80s.
Another was LB Roovelroe Swann who had a career-ending injury in his first pre-season camp.
Going way back, Billy Cannon, Pat Screen, Tommy Casanova and Bert Jones made quite a stir.

Fort Knox is where they store the bodies of dead aliens.
Blood Bend. If you know you know.
Well, at least we can expect some juicy UFO news week.

VDH, Sen John Kennedy and James Woods would make an all-time Jeopardy trio. All smart as a whip and cutting wit.
re: Sonance speakers, amplifier, and in-wall subwoofer
Posted by MDB on 5/19/26 at 9:29 pm to Will Cover
I have four Sonamce in-wall speakers — two surround sides and two surround backs in a 7.2.4 setup. Sound crisp to me, no complaints. I have them hooked to an Emotiva 7-ch amp via a Marantz 7015 receiver. Would recommend Sonance.

Cloud Atlas was very interesting once you understood what was going on. A second viewing is really good.

This might be its seventh SEC loss with 8 runs.
Pitiful pitching.

In early January, having only been in country for a little over two months, PFC Prather ...
When I arrived in Vietnam a year after Prather’s death, we Marines were told that if we could survive the first four months, we had a good chance of making it. Every single Marine, that I knew who was killed, indeed only made it three months. Hence why you didn’t like to make friends with the new guys. And Prather was among hundreds of Marines who died from booby-trap wounds — a real killer in Quang Nam Province.

Not if they’re going Warp 8 and using the Worm Hole Effect.

Sorry, meant to say five straight road games. Mea culpa.
8 runs in 5 straight SEC ROAD games
Posted by MDB on 5/9/26 at 10:01 pm
… And no wins to show for it. Go figure.
EDIT: Sorry, 5 straight ROAD games.
Still, you’d think 8 runs would be good for a couple of road wins.
