Aggy seems to be doing their best to get kids to shut things down and cancel visits. This will be interesting to follow in the week leading up to signing day. Not just LSU but Texas as well.

I guess the ether wore off.

I remember when Lafell committed at the same time as RJ Jackson. If memory serves me, Jackson was a 4 star and everyone agreed that Lafell was underrated as a 3 start but they never did give him his 4th. Not sure why that stuck in my brain.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Have lost on a challenge of the word QAT before. Which I still contend is complete bullshite, as is AA.

What is going on here? Is the theme of this park associated with a movie? It just looks like a European city to me.

ETA ChatGPT explanation for others who weren’t aware

Epic Universe is a brand-new theme park developed by Universal Orlando Resort, officially opened in May 2025. It’s their fourth theme park in Florida (after Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay) and represents one of the most ambitious expansions in theme park history.

Key Features of Epic Universe:
• Massive Size: Covers over 750 acres — more than doubling the size of Universal Orlando Resort.
• Immersive “Worlds”: Epic Universe is designed around individual themed lands, each with its own entrance and immersive environment.

Confirmed Lands:
1. Super Nintendo World
• Features rides and attractions based on Mario, Donkey Kong, and other Nintendo characters.
• Includes Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge and a Donkey Kong mine cart coaster.
2. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
• A new Harry Potter-themed area centered on the magical government, blending elements from both the main series and the Fantastic Beasts films.
3. How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk
• A family-friendly land with dragon-themed rides, including a roller coaster and interactive play areas.
4. Dark Universe
• Based on Universal’s classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman.
• A darker, more intense zone with immersive storytelling and spooky attractions.
5. Celestial Park (hub area)
• A central park-like area with gardens, fountains, restaurants, and a major hotel entrance.
• Acts as the central “spoke” connecting the lands.

Other Highlights:
• On-site hotel: A luxurious hotel built directly inside the park, allowing guests to stay immersed.
• Advanced tech: Includes cutting-edge ride systems and immersive environments designed to compete directly with Disney’s best offerings.

Epic Universe is a major move by Universal to redefine the theme park experience and directly challenge Walt Disney World’s dominance in Florida.

No, she moved away for college and never moved back. Her parents are still there and everything about the house is the same as when she grew up there.

Women are more nurturing and empathetic in general, which is very useful when dealing with all of the bullshite that entitled employees bring.

I can barely sleep on an airplane with the seat reclined. I can’t imagine trying to sleep in a reclined car seat every night. Saving money is important but getting good sleep is worth a lot IMO.

They are allowed into the restaurant early to tip the seats? But asked to line up to enter all at once? Not sure on the logistics here but I would sit where you want. If it evolves into an argument, put it back on the management for allowing this jackassery.
