The defense lost those games?


You’re right. The defense didn’t blow a 10 point lead to OU. They didn’t allow them to get into FG range at the end to win it.

The defense didn’t get outscored 24-7 after being up 17-3 against UF.

What are we thinking?

Since 1971, Alabama holds a 21–5–1 record against LSU in games played at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.


All in the 21st Century

2000
2004
2006
2010
2022

(I saw three of those in person)

In BDR, though, we won in

1993
1997
2001
2003
2005
2007
2011
2019

That’s 8-9 over that time period. (From 1993-2011, we went 7-3 in BDR.) Many of the 9 losses were close and the losses are recent. Saban teams lost to us 3 times at home. We have a 50/50 chance of winning when we play there and they know it. They pucker up when we play at BDR.

They went 3-8 against us from 2000-the 2011 regular season game. It’s why they went apoplectic after that 9-6 loss (the second in a row to us after winning the Natty in 09). The melt after that loss was unlike anything I’ve ever seen and caused me to lose total respect for Bama as a program and fanbase. They couldn’t stand having a second straight SEC West school beat them and win the Natty over Saban (Auburn won it all in 2010).
Corporate Trainer

We can perform the jobs we train better than most of the employees who do it. We’re better versed in Company policy and procedure than most people managers. Most bean counters think we’re expendable when budget cuts happen… until productivity drops. The best performer often sucks as a trainer.

Health Insurance

Your plan offers waaaaaaay more benefits than you think it does. Your doctor/hospital drives up costs much more than we do. Your doctor will happily bill you more than the contract allows if he can get away with it. Just because your doctor is in network with your insurance company doesn’t mean they accept your plan. Your employer pays 3-4x more to cover you and your family than you do.
Once again, John, Paxton would’ve dropped out if you had pressed your buddy Thune to pass the SAVE Act. That’s on you, Boomer.

We are all screwed when Texas opens the border.


Gina will be impeached and removed by the next Republican House in 28 if she does this. Even my liberal friends do not want an open border here. They just don’t want ICE taking people off the streets. Just because they don’t have the stomach for what ICE is doing doesn’t mean they want caravans coming through their towns.

All of the Dems in Texas ran on affordability and keeping the border closed. If they change their tune, all of those Hispanics in the RGV will vote red again.
Galloway is one of those guys who recognizes and discusses the problems that young men are having but thinks the solutions are all of the policies and trends that led to the problem.

Elon should slap him with a restraining order and a slander lawsuit.

He was tackled. Back of the hand is down. Did he lose the ball before that?

Ten Times. That's it. In 130 years, LSU wins a home football game vs Bama only ten times.


And half of those were this century: 2000, 04, 06, 10, and 22. We dominated them from 2000-2011 regular season and they still got two.

It’s fair to say the home team struggles in this rivalry as Bama seems to shite the bed against our bad teams and eke out one score wins in BD, but I’m really ready for that TS voodoo to be gone.
This is what you get at times with Lane. It’s awesome when it works and really frustrating when it doesn’t. A 4th down conversion for a TD basically ended the A&M game.

And, yes, he’s got to beef up the OL next year.
Hinojosa ran on affordability. If she tries to raise taxes, she’s toast.
If Hinojosa opens the borders, she’s toast.

This is all fine and dandy, but the people did not elect them to “get Trump.” The Dems will face resounding backlash if they attempt this.
I always want to ask these people: “If whites are so bad, why did your parents move here? Why have you stayed here?”
Change Senate terms to 4 years and Presidents get one 6 year term.

When you tell an immigrant that they can come in and skip the legal processes set up for immigration, they learn that none of the laws in your country matter and they can ignore all of them.
In their typical arrogance, Democrats never think that their policy changes will backfire on them. Until they do.

If you want to do a museum, try the Frick Collection or the Guggenheim.
Pretty sure disenfranchising a majority of voters within a state and awarding the state’s Electoral votes to another candidate would be unconstitutional especially if that state never put joining the compact to a vote by the people.

Disenfranchising a majority of its citizens would put immense pressure on a state’s legislature and its governor. The state still has to honor the will of a majority of its citizens.
Mike Anderson’s is also a BR institution.

George’s Southside has great burgers.

The original Raising Cane’s is just past The Chimes at the North gates of campus on Highland Road.

Louie’s for breakfast on Sunday.

FYI: All major Baton Rouge streets change names mostly when you cross Perkins. But literally every major street changes names somewhere.

Trump needs to step aside for Vance.


Trump was elected to a 4 year term. This is like saying Obama should’ve stepped aside in 2010 when his party lost 60+ seats in the House.
