Maybe we should start. Playing nicely and being good little girls and boys has done jack diddly at this point.

I guess he only attempts to thwart the Leftist overthrow of our nation when Dems are in power. He sure did frick-all while he held the reins.

It has become readily apparent that the Republican Party has no intentions of directing our nation toward being a land of law and prosperity. Their sole reason for existence is to provide a shrill voice decrying all the evils the Dem party has foisted upon this nation while obediently falling in lock step with them.

I can't say that there's is anything inaccurate that you posted.

WPR’s ranking of public schools has my home of Maryland at #9, Georgia #17, Mississippi #29. New York is #1.

The fact that this ranking has NY public schools at #1 leads me to believe that this list is more than a little suspect.

Can't. They're from the same state.

The original reason for the night games at LSU is the fact that Baton Rouge is brutally hot and oppressive in the day time until November finally appears. Playing at night would at least alleviate some of the worst heat by removing the beating sun from the equation. It evolved into mystique and lore over the many years that followed after LSU played for the first time under the lights in Tiger Stadium and became tradition for our Tiger teams over the course of nearly a hundred years at this point.

Night games in Death Valley are every bit a tradition at LSU as cowbells are at State or the Twelfth Man at A&M. Other schools have their traditions as well, but night games have long been associated with LSU.

Looking at the turf on that field brings back memories. I was in LSU's Tiger Band that year when we traveled to UF for the game. It was hot as hell when we practiced our half time show that morning on UF's practice field, but nowhere NEAR as hot as it was actually marching that half time show on that artificial turf in the Swamp at the time! Temp on the field was easily over 120F. But that turf was very different from any other artificial turf I'd ever seen - each blade of "grass" in it was as fine as a human hair. Not at all like the "Mardi Grass" of the Superdome or Astroturf of the Astro Dome.

I'll always remember what it was like to march on that field. (Also, Florida's band were very gracious hosts to us during that weekend. Excellent people!)

It would be awesome to do for one game IMO. But I know all the old people would hate it.

I am old. I would definitely hate it. It would probably put me in my grave. We should NEVER do this.

eta: Just because you can doesn't mean you should, or that it would be a remotely good idea. (Think "New Coke" in the 80s.)

Don't leave out the ubiquitous usage of then for than.

How can I make this about LSU

He's been this way since LSU required him to have more than a Certificate of Attendance from his high school and a score of more than 8 on his ACT to gain admission as a student. He is forever jilted and can't help himself.
