I was expecting to see Clark in, but my assumption is the start was too deep near the EZ to throw in a whole bunch of subs. Pick up the 1st here and maybe we'll see more subs at that point.

Nice run where I didn't think there was gonna be much on the play. Good score there. Keep them out of the EZ and I think you see Clark the rest of the way.
Their Aussie punter does make me wonder why we never fully implemented that pipeline. After Brad Wing, we had another one come in after him that was still pretty good. I'd bet even punter NIL monies would be good enough to entice a good stream of them to try their luck over here.
Our defense is really good this year. They definitely have their breakdowns at times, but make no mistake, if you get pissed off about the performance of this D, you'd be infuriated by most others.

That being said, for an O like the one that Kiffin typically puts out, I think stylistically the most complementary D is something akin to what the Saints had in super bowl year. Bend but don't break, cause a lot of turnovers. That's almost the opposite of what this year's D has been. They're completely stout, until they collapse. Not a lot of turnovers.

re: Preferred Rice

I try to buy Louisiana rice. Doesn't make sense to me to buy rice shipped from the other side of the planet when there's perfectly good stuff grown right down the way by my neighbors. Usually long grain. Don't have a single brand I use exclusively. I'm currently working through a huge sack of Costco basmati because I was out of rice at the time and knew I was going to be cooking some before the next time I was going to go to a regular grocery. I like basmati well enough and it works just fine for south Louisiana dishes. I'll presumably go with another bag of LA rice next time I'm due to stock back up.

Jasmine rice does have a floral smell so I can see where it would make a difference for some. I've never found it a negative though. I don't use it all that often though. A while back I used some locally grown popcorn rice and liked that but it's been a long time since I've seen it.
If you can believe it I think they are less loud than other SEC stadiums. I think in death valley the speakers are less distributed though, so their percieved loudness probably depends on where you sit
I didn't watch the video but that looks like he made something in the ballpark of chicken and sausage creole. It's obviously and absolutely not jambalaya but the picture looks pretty good anyway. Come to think of it, I think I might just have to make myself some chicken creole this weekend.

I actually just looked and I didn't get the renewal email either so no wonder. I guess I just need to set a recurring mid September reminder

Curious who comes in with the shorter field. I think a TD here and we just might put Clark in and leave him

A nice marching scoring drive would be nice here

Don't think I've ever had shrimp n beans. This looks good though
quote:

Pure electricity. The crowd came to make noise, the drone shows, the lights, the stadium PA. Ole Miss went all out. For 63,000 people they really sounded louder. I think others who went will back me up on this, but it was as loud as I can remember Jordan-Hare or Bryant Denny.


They def went all out. Fans went hard. There was hate leaking out of their ears. The fans got plenty loud on big plays and big moments, but I wouldn't say it came anywhere close to auburn. Never been to bama so can't speak to that. I will say that the speakers were cranked to 11. That shite was waaay too loud. Much louder than the fans themselves, at least where I was at, and they kept it blasting as absolute long as they could get away with, basically right up until the snap.

The drone show was neat, albeit a bit cheesy. A waving pom pom... I legit laughed when I saw that. They laid pom poms out on every seat along with the wristbands in whatever the designated colors were so all their fans were waving pom poms with a fury. I guess it's just that it has never been our tradition but I just find anyone over about the age of 10 waving a pom poms to be pretty lame. Plenty of schools are into their pom poms all is not just an ole miss thing, but I digress.

They leaned hard into the wristband thing, which I guess makes sense if you've sank the money into providing 60k of them. Basically any time out they dimmed the lights and made the bracelets flash. I don't think they had the time or coordination to get the light show really synced up to most songs. They generally tended to just sort of flash at random, or sometimes in waves. There were a few times where it actually seemed to be in sync and that was kind of cool. I haven't managed to make a home game where we have done it so don't have that to compare to.

I commented more in depth on fans in another thread but I think it's fair to say that they were emotionally invested in this game. There was a lot of pent up rage and frustration. This was let out in a number of ways but the worst I saw were gestures and words which aren't worth repeating. I saw no acts of actual violence though I did see security pass to go break up a fight somewhere above us. Didn't see what went down but they didn't drag anyone out so couldn't have been too bad. I did hear a few stories of LSU fans getting assaulted but I didn't see anything of the sort so can't vouch for the legitimacy of that.
Their fans were jacked up for sure. They wanted it baaaad. There were plenty of "bad" fans encountered, but no more than what I'd expect playing any other sec team, really. For every 3 fans trying to stir up shite on the walk back there was another being apologetic.

I honestly had a chuckle on the walk back because there were a lot of fans who sounded like the flip side of the ole miss milk girl. "I HATE LSUUUUUU.!!!" but with a rage filled happiness instead of dispair. It was bizarre.

Someone seriously needs to turn their damn speakers down. The fans in the stadium were respectably loud but not impressively so. The speakers just about blew my ears out all game though.
I'd guess if you don't have a family and permanent residence it might not be a bad gig for a little while. No rent or probably any bills, your food and shelter is effectively included. I don't know that you can really call it getting to travel if you're working every day though.
I think Louisville is gonna have a pretty good season, but as much as anything it's gonna be because they have one other team worth a damn left on their schedule. So they'll maybe drop one after this game and probably make their conference championship game. They are not a bad team by any means but they haven't been particularly impressive from the bits I've watched.

Shoot, its hard to tell of we are that good or they are that weak. They look like a rent a win out there right now.

I've looked into it a few times and seems neat. I just never could quite justify investing the time and monies into it. My thought would be for getting one for my parents, siblings, etc. to be able to communicate after a hurricane or similar communication disrupting event. Plus maybe getting a portable one for the fishing camp to be able to take out on the boat.

I'm curious to hear other's use cases and experiences with setting it up and using it
