Verne was a solid guy. Liked to drink. Liked pronouncing the Louisiana names like Drew Allemand and Chase Clement, putting the flourish on the last names. He was definitely rooting for Bama against LSU in the 2011 game of the century, when he famously yelled "Oh No!" when Eric Reid got the goal line interception for LSU.

Gary was technically sound but was way too in love with Nick Saban during his Alabama tenure. It was a lot like Dick Vitale's infatuation with Coach K / Duke in college basketball.

Despite the Bama fandom they did a good job, and they called a lot of LSU games for CBS as the game of the week, which meant LSU was good at the time. Happy memories for sure.
The normalization of violence and crime, and elimination of political enemies, are the most scary parts.
They're more likely to be liberal than central Americans are.
That's all true about OM's great season last fall, winning two CFP games and getting to the semis. But that's not what OM is focused on. They are focused on a regular season game against LSU. Whether you want to call that a "super bowl" or an obsession, it is reality.

The truth is, LSU is OM and Bama's super bowl ever year. That is why OM and Bama fans were holding hands Saturday night. It was like a group therapy session for those two fanbases. Honestly it is sad.
Moscona was the PR person for the Scott Woodward/ Brian Kelly regime. He knighted for them for four years. Never blamed them for any of the football team's failures.
Was this assault better or worse than the Bama teabagger in the French Quarter? That was as real as it gets. Luckily the perpetrator was apprehended and arrested.
Middle tier restaurants are now just as expensive as high end.

And none of them can find good help.

Always been a tough business to succeed in, but it's tougher now.
Coaches can improve over time, with age and experience. Saban certainly did. Compare his LSU results to his Alabama results.

We don't have the same Lane Kiffin that Southern Cal had.

Nuss has elite arm talent. He is the son of a QB coach. Prior to the start of last season Todd McShay was talking about him as a potential No. 1 overall draft pick. We'll never know how good he could have been due to BK's mismanagement of everything. Last year Nuss was injured, had a bad O Line, and had no running game for support.
Lolz. Pete is just coasting on a team built by Lane with a generational player found and recruited by Lane -- all while texting and tweeting as much as he wanted. Much like Larry Coker, once Pete's predecessor's players filter out, the program will tank. OM fans will start reliving the not too distant past when their team was perennially mediocre and their stadium had high school bleachers in the visitors endzone.
Saban himself said LSU is the top job in the SEC. Part of that is the fact that LSU has the best fans, best stadium, and best in-game experience. You can't blame ESPN for showing the best product in primetime. People from all over the country want to see the best when they turn on the TV after dinner.

Neyland is an overcrowded erector set without the energy and intensity of Tiger Stadium, and you can't blame ESPN for broadcasting that game when people are either having lunch or running errands during the day.

Good lord there is a lot of nonsense on this board. I can't wait until Saturday when Ole Miss moral victory week is over.
Be careful. Some people are overweight for reasons other than over eating. I am an ectomorph and have been skinny 99% of my life, but once had to take medication for five months that made me gain serious weight. And it was hard as hell to get off.

If you're going to body shame someone, you better be sure you know the root cause.

Beat TAMU Saturday. Split the Texas and Bama games. We should beat everyone else on talent and coaching.

Go to the playoffs at 10-2.

This is coming from a former penal colony state that has given this country John Ossof and Raphael Warnock?
It's when an employer tells an OM alum his degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on, so so he goes to a stationary shop to get it reprinted on nicer paper and ends up with 2 diplomas.
Lolz. Mauck wasn't playing under a restraining order issued by a backwater county judge.

He also wasn't playing after saying the season before that he would like to leave to play for his school's rival if he could.
Looks like the beach in Ceuta, Spain right now.

I guess when it's game time they just dump the silver chafing dish of cold chicken fingers right onto the ground.
"Win or lose, thank God I don't live in this boring one horse town anymore"
Whatever he is, he's 2-0 vs. LSU. We need to get a win.
This one was not an easy throw at all. Yes it would have been nice to have, but there's guys around him and a small window, and he's on the run.
