Have a friend that works near the ops building and said there is an ambulance and fire trucks there. Someone was waiving them into the parking lot. Does anyone have a contact that could fill us in on what happened?

My BIL is from Australia. The cost of living is astronomical. Three bedroom house in Sydney is stupid expensive so most people rent. I would love to visit but I am not sure it is worth living there. The entire country is like that.

re: Is anybody here a twin?

Posted by contraryman on 12/17/25 at 9:40 am to dyslexiateechur

I married a twin. (No pics) They are super close and talk everyday. They have had experiences where they both go through something at the same time that is an odd coincidence. I.e. neither had ever broken a bone before last month. Within days of each other, both broke toes on their left foot. Spooky. There are other weird things too. But the strangest thing is that when I first met them, I thought my wife’s twin kissed better than her.

That is all.

re: Does anyone believe Charlie kirk was shot with a 30.06?

Posted by contraryman on 12/11/25 at 7:44 pm to Schleynole

Hey, I get that you consider yourself an expert in everything about hunting deer. And that includes the damage of 30.06 will do to a deer, and all of those other calibers your daddy hunts with. However, unless you were the attending physician and inspected the body personally, you can’t say with 100% certainty what happened. I don’t care how many deer you skinned, cleaned and shot. And I understand your skepticism because you really want to believe what you’re saying is 100% certain. But you can’t be certain. It is your opinion.

Once again this is an opinion. A person doesn’t need to hunt to know more about the characteristics of the 30.06 caliber. I would think there are people who don’t hunt that no more about that caliber and the damage it will do than any “country boy” that hunts. But that is just my opinion.

Must not have graduated from the business school.

Also, you have to improve the facilities to recruit top professors. The work improving the campus through upgrading and expanding the facilities will pay off in that respect. Also, better students will be recruited along with more/new industry partnerships that will bring revenue into the university and state. If we can keep the governor from screwing this up through moratoriums and adverse business conditions, LSU and Louisiana are at the very beginning of a huge boom to the economy. Almost as big as getting lane kiffin as coach. ??

re: This season had 3 major HC openings

Posted by contraryman on 12/3/25 at 5:58 pm to Cosmo

He didn’t have the energy needed when he got back from the NFL. They need a charismatic leader who works 80+ hours a week and then goes out and promotes SC as the best school in the state. Had out maroon football to every high school seniors or use live chickens. I am telling you that if it gets going it will be sick.

I truly believe that this will become a top job soon. There is just too much support for that program that has never been organized. They will do it one day.
