I would go with 2019, in Tuscaloosa. That was the best LSU team, maybe the best CFB team of all time, against an Alabama team that was absolutely loaded. What was amazing to me was the improvement LSU made from the previous season, when Alabama absolutely destroyed LSU in TS in 2018. I left that game at halftime convinced that Tua was going to win two Heismans in a row.
I will say that 2012 was great too, even in defeat. That may be the most electric game TS has ever seen. It was the game that SVP went to and famously raved about on his show. LSU had a stopgap OC in Greg Studrawa, and should have scored way more points with the talent on offense. Such was the theme of the Les Miles era.

Saban did that on more than one occasion, showing really unusual levels of emotion after beating LSU. It just goes to show that LSU has always been Alabama's daddy regardless of what the series tally is. They fear LSU. Their fans tense up for that game unlike any other.

I can't remember the last time I rode in a taxi. I always avoided them if I could.
As for Uber, yes, I vet them -- I look at their star rating. I'm not getting in an Uber with a low rated driver or someone who has hardly any reviews.

That's the thing about flying, unless you know the pilot, you are putting your life in the hands of a total stranger every time you fly.
If you are about to have brain surgery or heart surgery, you vet the surgeon in advance. Flying is like having open heart surgery and you have no idea who the surgeon is.

All straight, indisputable facts.
It's crazy that Derrick Henry sat on the bench in 2014 to wait his turn. That Charger must have had all the options.

You've got it right. Conference championship games will be gone. Army Navy will be played in the dead week between rivalry week and the first round of the playoffs. I've got that straight from the top.

I like dogs. I have a dog. But he's a pet. He's an animal.
People who treat dogs like people and bring them to socially unconventional places really annoy me. I don't want to see a dog in a restaurant.

Law Schools don't close because they are highly profitable. Not nearly as much overhead as medical school. It's rules and cases that anyone can find on their phone at this point. At the end of the day it's just a professor giving a Socratic lecture on how to apply the law. People pay a fortune for that. It's mostly profit for the law school after you pay the professors.
Congratulations to all those who passed. It's a great day.

Box office bomb, but great film. Ridley Scott, no less. My favorite part are the ocean voyage scenes.
Columbus found the islands of Hispaniola but never found mainland North America due North. Another guy did. That's why the Americas aren't named after him.

re: Baker has to Geaux: Film watch is fricking Brutal. Do not defend him and not watch.

Baker and the defense are not perfect but they have been good enough for us to win.
The offensive line and offensive play calling are the reasons we have 2 losses. We couldn't get a couple of first downs against KENTUCKY at the end of the game Saturday night to close it out. That's not good for a team being led by offensive geniouses.

The replacement theory is real. Just look at the caravans that come to our border. It's clear as day what's going on. You can't hide what they're doing.
re: A Simple Fact - GOP Must Embrace Immigration to Sustain GDP & Economic Productivity

But you ignore the part about robotics. The work that your beloved third world immigrants are currently doing will be replaced by robots. Crop picking, hotel cleaning, roofing -- all going to be done by robots in the not too distant future. And then, under your proposal, we're left with a huge glut of unskilled, uneducated people. Your proposal is terrible.

Globalist talking points right there. Did George Soros write this post?
AI and robotics economy will not require the manpower of old. We shouldn't be destroying our civilization by importing the third world when we don't even need to.

re: Hate it or not. The number 1 reason we have 2 L’s is because of defensive schematics
Posted by Tall Tiger on 10/11/26 at 12:37 pm to geauxjo
I agree. Defense is not perfect but made adjustments at halftime and did enough for us to win. They never should have been on the field at the end of the 4th quarter. Our offense should have been moving the sticks and running out the clock.
Last night was on offensive scheme. Weiss and Kiffin. Where is the dynamic offense we're paying for?

LSU lost last night because of its offensive scheme. Not running the ball enough was a big reason why. Our RBs should have been able to wear that defense down by the end of the game and run out the clock.
