They pulled over 500 badges during the week! I talked with some who got interrogated and lost official badge and were given daily tickets to stay on property. My Hospitality company I have used in the pass had 30 pulled but his client's got to stay on property with a daily pass! Remember now that Maps and Flags is official Hospitality Company of the Masters. These 500 badges probably going to Maps and Flags badge pool!

Yea but do you know the real story of the Palm Tree? The one involving Bubba, Torsi, Webb Simpson and Zack Johnson? Nobody got booted they had the official badges taken away and were given daily passes to stay on property. Just didn't have the Official Badges to return to the hospitality company or broker at end of days play!

Yea when u find the Palm tree call me on your cell phone and tell me what hole you found it on! This year the prices in the secondary market are up about 30-40%. Last year's crackdown has Patrons leery of selling to brokers or hospitality companies.

Got probably go to plant to get in bulk. Most Stores carry the 1lb link. I'm assuming you're looking to get a discount on a case..maybe Rouses will accommodate with a bulk discount
re: Seafood Gumbo Recipes

The professional cooks/chefs at the World Championship Gumbo Cookoff in New Iberia use this seafood base to make a wonderful stock . It's a trial and error thing use half of recommended and taste stock ...add small amount till you like the flavor. It can be too salty so small amounts prevents a major disaster. This stuff is so good...we get it in Lafayette at Joey's Meats..go to the website and they probably have what stores in your area have it! 

re: Does anyone have a ball park on how much the next roster is going to cost?

That 25-30 figure was to appease the snowflake governor. Don't want him worrying about our roster and Greenland at the same time!

MMR plane N350PR landed at 2:10 came from Huntington WV ..MMR has 2 challengers N350PR is plane Lane came home to BR when we went get him and other coaches.
Mensah just got served papers from Duke in a breach of contract lawsuit which is going to be a Hugh deal going forward with portal kids. This will end up being just what we needed to make College football make sense.
Yep I know kids family also mainly his grandmother and great grandmother. Was at Baylor-Miami game in Aug of 1997 when on 1 play of his college career Martin fielded opening kickoff on the run and got decleated by a Hurricane kickoff team member that resulted in a concussion. Miss Mirinvia who was Martins grandmother was upset to say the least.
re: Neck at home games???

No I think we should reduce by 50% the number of student tickets available so we can sell those tickets and collect licensing fees and high dollar game ticket prices to help defray the cost of running the football operation!
Lane Kiffin is the "George Steinbrenner" of College Football

Steinbrenner and the Yankees were very good in Free Agency! Lane is pretty dam good himself!

Sunny Aker's in Maurice ....Blueberry KC is da bomb!!!
1st Tuesday of every month the special is Osso Bucco! Best Nite of month to eat there!
Needs to be LSU-Notre Dame 1971 2.0 - That's what LSU football is all about...Big game big name opponent late kick...that's what make us different as Lane like to say!
Osteen - As the ex-husband of a TV news anchor/ news director in a Top 30 market I know more than you will ever know. The sponsors care about the attendance and without sponsors the whole enchilada falls apart. Ask the PGA tour about sponsors dropping out of the game.
I'll get the TV viewership numbers next month when the data is made public. Corporate sponsors and TV advertisers should be beholden to the stockholders for spending money on BS! Take Hermann Memorial running 2 National ads during the LSU/Houston ...yea that's really good for the moral of nurses and employed physicians ..kinda of like OLOL spending millions to get naming rights to Cajun Field in Lafayette...
The Case to reduce Present Bowl System
Posted by Poppy201 on 12/30/25 at 9:00 am
Thru 24 bowl games this year attendance is averaging a whopping 22,077 and that's with 64,000 and 41,000 at LSU/Houston and Penn State/Clemson.
Take those 2 games out of numbers it falls to 18,400. Now these numbers should make executives with ESPN/Disney cringe. How can a corporation afford to be a bowl sponsor with these types of numbers? The tv viewership has to be in line with these pitiful numbers except the 2 games mentioned above. Now the next 11 non-playoff bowls have decent matchups that may up the attendance numbers. A bowl system of 35 non-playoff bowls needs serious revamping. a bowl system of 10-12 with games taking place before Christmas so players and others associated with a football game i.e. the band can be sent home for Christmas avoiding unnecessary expenses to universities. My name is Jeff Landry and I approve this message....LOL Happy New Years!
