Any state govt funding for certain roads would also still exist. Any federal funds would as well.
And the local match would be diluted. Dissolving and adding back only adds another layer of government and more gov't employees.

Loyalty went out the window when .700 win percentages get you fired if you miss the playoffs.

You may not be the one saying but there are alot of people on this board who was rattling that saber during the quest for St George.

The local mayors don’t want to get rid of it. Makes one wonder why.
Probablly because they are smart enough to realize that they need the collective tax base of the parish in order to get the infrastucture improvements necessary to supprt their growing communities.
Would Central have been able to pay for the road improvements to get in and out of thier city over the past 20 years with just a local base? Same could be asked for St Georgians as well.

Pay him low with big incentives
Why does this keep getting repeated to adnauseam?
Let me get this straight if you worked for an employer who has a reputation of paying top of market wage rates and you're offered the job to replace your boss who was making 4x your salary. Are you really going accept the position for way less with the promise of high bonuses to get to where your bosses salary is? Or will you negotiate a much higher guaranteed salary? Knowing that if you max out your KPIs you will become the highest paid coach in college football. Also knowing a much lower guranteed salary makes it easier for them to replace you.

I'd base his salary entirely on performance, with a 4M base for 4 years and extra for wins, SEC championship and playoffs appearances. The kicker, if he wins a NC, he gets to be the highest paid coach in all of college for the next year.
So you think you're going to hire a coach capable of winning a NC by making him the 55th highest paid coach in the country. Once he wins a NC he gets to triple his salary for one year and then back to bottom of the barrel salary.
Would you willingly take a job that is 2.5 times less than the guy that was just fired from the same position?

Gatorade is owned by Pepsi. I’m surprised Coca-Cola lets the Gumps have that on the sidelines.
Coca Cola made a business decision. If NS wanted Gatorade then he was getting Gatorade. A small concession to keep the sales in the stadium and have a coke bottle next to Saban every time he steps up to the podium.

Either way . . . That's semantics. The point is he still rushed to make the announcement before Texas announced Herman to publicly make it look like Orgeron was always his guy.
If Orgeron was always his guy why give him an hour to get to LSU and rush him to the podium?
quote:
This is a great day for LSU and for all of Louisiana. We got our man and he's been here all along," . . . "I worked closely with [LSU] President [King] Alexander and board leadership throughout a very deliberate process. By the end of that process, our decision was clear. Coach Orgeron took us step by step through every aspect of his plans for this program and there was no question that he is the man to lead LSU football."
If Orgeron was always his guy why give him an hour to get to LSU and rush him to the podium?
quote:
And I walked out of there and go okay. I was living in a hotel. We moved out of the hotel. We go home. Anyway, things happen. Tom Herman, Lane Kiffin texts me at 1:30. Tom Herman’s going to Texas. All that stuff. All of a sudden, I think it’s 5:30, 6:00 in the morning, I missed a call from Joe Alleva the AD. What’s going on? He called me, saying, ‘Hey, man. Can you be in Baton Rouge in an hour?’ I said, ‘Hell, yeah, man. I’m coming.'”

I think it was more of the fact that it was leaked that Herman turned Alleva down during A&M game and he was hell bent on saving face. He had to give it O so he could announce it Sat morning before Herman to TX was officially announced.

Have you noticed how many 3.5 minute TV timeouts are in each game? I'm not doing this mid play.
As a matter of fact I have! When they went from 2:00 to 3:00+ minutes is when I quit going. Sucked the life out of the in game experience for me.

I think more attention needs to be paid to "excessive wear" injuries, though. The amount of Airborne with fricked up backs, knees, etc., that get denied seems unfair, as an example.
The program covers these injuries. My guess is that they are getting denied because for whatever reason their packet is lacking evidence or the veteran is failing to properly link the injury to their service. Many of these warriors didn't go to sick call for wear and tear injuries so they lack the evidence in their medical records, or they failed keep their medical records.
People call out the companies that "prey" on veterans but the companies understand the bureaucracy associated with getting your injuries approved and language needed in your claim files. Most of these companies provide this information free.

Congrats. . . I guess. Just because you choose not to accept a benefit you earned doesn't mean others are wrong for accepting their benefits that they also earned.
Do you send back your tax return checks too?

Even then it would be hard to get to $6,000 per month. He would get $110 per child (2026) and $350ish for each child over 18 and enrolled in college. So if a few are college age its possible.

You mentioned Butch Jones twice and he's not really from the Saban coaching tree. He's more from the Brian Kelly tree.
Sorry he was listed when I Googled Saban Coaching tree. Even if you remove Jones from the list the point still stands that when talking about the tree you have to take the good with the bad.
Hell half of the good coaches that were listed were successful head coaches before coaching under Saban so is it really fair to count them?

Know of a guy who got indicted for claiming veteran disability from being able to work but also receiving benefits for having a veteran owned business.
Most people getting disability are able to work full time jobs. It's part of the rating criteria not eligibility criteria. He was indicted because he filed a false claim.
I had a roommate that was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 100 days before graduation. He was allowed to graduate but not allowed to serve. He received VA disability for diabetes and had a veteran owned construction company at the same time.
