Why not go find a new fresh face instead of bringing back a retread. Surely there is some young coaching talent out there that can bring the program back to success without all the inherent drama Wade would bring. I do believe anything would be better than the status quo.

Better yet put the Tiger fans out of their misery.
How can LSU talk about building a new multi million dollar basketball arena, when the men's basketball team is such a profound losing embarrassment?
Basketball has always been second to football. I do remember the days of Pistol Pete, Shack etc. So there were some glory days in our past. Of course I also remember Coach Dale Brown with Chris Jackson, Stanely Roberts and Shaq all on the team that did not make it very far that season. 1989-90

God is the giver of life. God is also the one being who governs when life begins and ends. The sixth commandment you remember the one that says thou shalt not kill. is pretty explicit and it does not leave room for exceptions. God's ways are superior to man's. If you believe that life in the womb can be killed and God is OK with that, so be it. Couples do not say we are having a fetus. No they say baby. A baby in the womb if left undisturbed will become a human being. Killing a human being is wrong. Now situational ethics would tell you that there are exceptions to God's commandments. Certainly there are situations that are challenging to embrace. There is of course man's laws and God's law. Just because man says it is ok does not mean that God will also. God is forgiving and loving, so maybe the taking of a life without God willing it will be forgiven. I for one do not want to take that for granted.
Best microwave story ever. See if you can out do this one.
In Louisiana Prisons there is a Federal non smoking policy mandate. Of course DOC sells smokeless tobacco products in the canteen. The prisons make a lot of money off these sales. Prisoners dry out the tobacco in the microwave to make cigarettes, They use newspaper to wrap the tobacco in to make the cigarettes. Since non smoking policy no longer are lighters sold. Now comes the microwave miracle. Lead pencil is used to scratch a patch on paper then placed in the microwave till it ignites and the burning paper is used to light the cigarettes. Tobacco is banned to protect inmate health and welfare. So now smoking snuff and using ink printed newspaper to make cigarettes is infinitely more hazardous to their health.
Now can you imagine what food taste like that is cooked in the microwave after this. With the menthol snuff and the burning paper the Ramen noodles a distinctive smoked menthol flavor. The "hook ups" can tie up a microwave for at least an hour. So if you think the office microwave is interesting you have not seen nothing till you see desperate smoking addicted prisoners at play.
If want validation, just ask any DOC correction officer :spank:
We should have a secret back door built into these planes. We could then easily disable them and render them useless if push comes to shove at some point in time. Also should have ability to sell to China some altered plans that when they get down to the construction phase their is a Trojan Horse awaiting. Yes US needs to play dirty with these Commies. Who knows maybe they are already doing it, just not out for public consumption. We can always hope.
Mamdani and the knifer have something in common. They both believe you can attack and threaten the life of a cop and expect the cop to let you. Forget wat happened to the poor girl on subway from Ukraine when that freak with the knife killed her in just a few seconds. Insanity is the new norm. Strange as it seems there are those who actually believe a guy aggressively threatening the cops life with a knife in his hand should be coddled.
Saban and Pete Carrol sage advise to take the LSU job speaks volumes to his decision. These two coaches opinions have to be at the tope of the list of those in the know. Lane was wise in following their recommendations.
. [quote]At a Glance: In the U.S., a photo ID is required for various activities, including buying alcohol, opening a bank account, applying for food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and Social Security, renting or buying a house, buying or renting a car, flying on an airplane, getting married, purchasing a gun, adopting a pet, applying for a hunting license, renting a hotel room, getting a fishing license, buying a cell phone, picking up prescription medication, visiting a casino, holding a protest or rally, donating blood, purchasing mature-rated video games, purchasing tobacco, and applying for unemployment benefits. A photo ID helps prove identity and ensures compliance with legal requirements.

Yet, many claim it is unnecessary to have ID to vote in an election! Often playing the race card, stating it is discrimination. Some wrongfully site the voting rights bill. There is no restriction imposed on your right to vote only that you provide proof that you are legally qualified to vote. Thune promises a vote in the Senate. Let the debate show why those opposed want people to vote who are not able to prove that they are legally qualified to vote. Seems obvious that a Negative vote means you want to allow voting rights to those who do not legally deserve to vote.
and that is why I do not bet on basketball games.
we all saw what a financial response Butt Light and Targay got for their making a statement stand that offended their customers.
Don Lemon does not have press credentials as he is no longer a CNN anchor. He was stripped of his press credentials by all major U.S. journalism certification organizations, which means he is no longer recognized as a journalist by these bodies.
Imagine what his defenders would say if a white guy did this in a black church. It all depends on what fits the narrative. I think anybody and I mean anybody liberal, conservative, black, white it does not matter, If you interfere with people worshiping God in their own church and threaten, intimidate, or interrupt that service to prevent said worship, which is exactly what happened here. Quoting my long since deceased grandmother "they should be thrown under the jail" Many an American soldier has died to protect our right to freedom of religion?? :spank:
Well some businesses people are smart and successful and some are not.
Alienating potential customers is a good way to go out of business. Michael Jordan business model everyone wears shoes so why piss off a potential customer by taking a political stand that may offend said person. Neutral is the appropriate gear for any business that does not want to lose business from potential customers who object to whatever stand is proffered.
No way! You could have knocked me over with a feather, before I would believe that. She cam by those multiple million dollars by plain hard work and spotless ethics. Not to mention the the enablers in the press who cover every fricking lying word that comes out of her mouth. I don't completely blame her, I also blame the government that does not throw her arse in prison. I guarantee if it were Joe Six Pack committing these crimes he would have long since be behind bars. Politicians are so afraid of the race card, and being accused of being prejudiced, Screw it call a Spade a Spade and show a little backbone when dealing with crooks. They do what they do till someone has the balls to stop them then they fold like a house of cards.
I hope he does not VIP treatment. Book deal. TV rights. Special treatment. Girls friends, Hope he gets Gen Pop where the real hoods can teach him about how the game is played on the inside. If he has enough money in his account he can buy protection. If not he will be somebodies toy boy. I would think putting him in Administrative Segregation would be worse. One hour a day out of the cell Exercise in dog run. No canteen. Restricted visitation. Really not fun. No drugs in there either. Does not take long to become institutionalized under those conditions. Some end up on suicide watch which is even worse.
Fantastic way to balance the budget works 100% of the time. Stop wasteful spending and eliminate graft and fraud. Stop writing checks to people who don't qualify for government assistance. Create a Dept of audit and pay the employees by a percentage of what they collect from stopping fraud and abuse. Place the thieves in Federal prison. Better yet send their arse to GITMO. :spank:
Rush had me hook line and sinker. I spent way too much time listening to his podcast. It bordered on an addiction. "Rush is Right" motto has the torch been passed on to Trump. ie Trump is mostly proven right as well. He has an uncanny ability to see threw the fog. Or maybe it is just common sense unfiltered by petty political BS. I think of the President as a CEO. His success is largely a function of picking the right people to enact his agenda. Trumps cabinet is filled with 5* recruits. They are dedicated and impressive in their ability to govern and follow protocol.

The general public only sees what LSU wants us to see. Brian Kelly had many flaws in his coaching style but we were not privy to knowing it because no one leaked the information. Once the flaws were exposed the damn burst and the negative information poured out. I think the biggest tell was the team lack of physicality. The roster had talent as evidenced by the #1 portal class ranking, they just did not play like a team that was motivated to put out the work and effort needed to win. It started from the top down as some of the coaches were also lacking.

What am I missing here?

Posted by TigerPlate on 1/28/26 at 6:06 am
What am I missing here? Why can't ICE position themselves around the places where these bad guys are and pick them up when they walk out the door. of the detainment facilities. I understand sanctuary cities ignore detainer request but they can't stop ICE from making a collar as they exit the place. How about just parking an ICE agent in the building and cuff the bad guys when they are still in the place but no longer in custody. For sure the targets are unarmed at this point. I suspect there is a flaw in my thinking or it would have already been done. I just not sure what I am missing.
Give Lane credit for being savvy in the college football world. He had a good thing going at Ole Miss top salary, boosters who were happy with the way the program was headed, successful recruiting classes, financial support and NIL money, good staff and assistant coaches, top salary, and free reign to run the program his way. He was never going to give all that up unless he saw an even greater opportunity. LSU gave him that and he had the confidence in his ability to make the decision that he could be more successful at LSU and believed LSU offered a better opportunity to succeed. I do not doubt that if an even much better opportunity presents itself he will evaluate carefully a make the best decision for his career. I hope LSU will always trump the other offers but the future is unknown. If by chance he is unsuccessful at LSU I would expect LSU to make the best decision for the future of it's program.
Who are you kidding? The news cycle is so short that by the time the Dems have the power, a million new so called injustices will have arisen.

The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution provides a legal shield to federal agents, preventing them from being prosecuted for state crimes while acting within the scope of their federal duties. However, this immunity is not absolute and can be challenged in court if the actions taken by the agent are outside the reasonable interpretation of their federal duty
