I design ponds, lakes and docks. I recommend a floating dock for many reasons, including it will always be 2’ or so above the fluctuating water level, and posts can penetrate your clay blanket and cause leaks, and the dock floats will last longer than wood posts.

They will design your floats and sell you the floats and hardware. You supply the framing and decking and I highly recommend synthetic deck boards. Whatever you do, don’t use treated 5/4 deck boards. If you use wood decking, use 2x6 treated for ground contact.

La might not be currently producing but in the past, it was a different story.

Drexler and Bill Russell were also born in Louisiana.

In the 1980’s at a LSU intramural basketball playoff game, the LSU broadcast journalism dept called some of the games. I played with some of my Redemptorist boys on the Go-Nads and we were playing The Squad. Before the game, I see these announcers setting up a table courtside and Ott is setting up his microphone using a white canvas Chuck Taylor as the mic stand. It was classic. They filmed and announced the game and at one time I had a VHS of it.

The Squad were damn good and it was tied at half but in the second half, we scored 60 points in a 20 minute running time half. Prolly a record lol, and Jimmy had some announcing gems. Wish I still had the tape.

For documents, I have a small safe about 18”x12”x8” for documents that I keep inside my gun safe. Also have another for guitars but I’ve learned that gun safes aren’t great for guitars.

There is only one General on an LSU thread.

Possibly so, even despite Collis and Tate submarining CBK via their hit piece in the Washington Post. That article, and the quotes therein by Temple show his true colors. He and Tate both need to go asap and LSU would be much, much better off.

Excellent input baws, cheers.

It’s not just that it was better for the fans, but I believe it will pan out to have been better for the players in the days prior to NIL and here’s why.

Sure, a very few players are becoming wealthy but that’s way less than 1%. The vast majority of Power 5 players are getting paid diddly to chump change.

In short, these absurdities of unlimited free agency, no structure (although some NIL structure may be on its way) is hurting the game, and will continue to hurt it. Are you and your circle of buddies more or less enthused about CFB now vs 6-7 years ago and prior?

Every one of my close circle of friends is less enthused about CFB. Sure we still like it and watch it, but it’s not like it was by a long shot. I see this as a trend that will continue.

So who loses most when the popularity of the sport wanes to something way below the status quo? The players, which is why it will not ultimately benefit them across the board.

This fiasco is nothing close to what was envisioned via the NIL concept; this is pure pay for play, tamper and steal players from opposing teams, and the players are shopping themselves constantly, some even during the season. How is any of this a positive thing?

I’ve had enough; it’s depressing as shite to see what’s happening to the sport we all love.

Soapbox dive.

It’s past time to outlaw feeding and any influx of deer to high fences in LA and MS.
