Maybe not sustained, but when the USC loss was announced at the '07 Florida game, I could not even hear myself screaming. It was surreal.
Me!!!
418 for the first one.
303 for Two Point Won!!!

Thanks for sharing the news.

I think the 2011 team could be Finish. Similar to Kevin Faulk (and Randy Moss!) and the 2007 Patriots team. An undefeated regular season is diminished by a loss in the Championship game. Hasn't it been reported that Kevin Faulk has already talked to the team about this?

Thanks for that explanation, apology unnecessary. I spent some time lurking over there and found them unbearably arrogant for the most part. There were a few reasonable folks who obviously just love their team.

Here’s to a good game. :geauxtigers:

wondering if any of the matching contributions have hit yet?


No information about that on the Fundraiser page in OP's link or on the Food Pantry's website. I believe there were 2 smaller FB fundraisers going on, I see that People's Bank is having an internal fundraiser today and will match internal donations, and I know there are some people donating directly and not through FB.

Hopefully there will be a final tally posted somewhere for all the La. and Athens efforts. This has been amazing.
Please read the posts of TexasTiger05, beginning on page 13, including this one:

Just wanted to give come context behind this donation.

The Athens County Food Pantry isn't a food bank. It's what food bank's call a partner agency. Food Bank's around the country divide up service areas and their partners order food from the food bank. They all do it differently, but ultimately the food that their partners receive from the food banks is at a heavily discounted rate because food banks can buy product within their network. I guess the best way to describe it is like Costco, but for qualified non profits.

Food banks still need donations from the community, however they are able to employ staff to seek those donations. They have Development departments and grant writer(s) to assist with that. On the other hand, food pantries do not. Some are large and can mimic what food pantries do in regards to fund raising, but on the whole food pantries (or, partner agencies) are ran by people who have full time jobs or retirees. Ultimately these people are not employed and do the best they can do with extremely limited budgets and free time.

Donating to the Athens County food pantry is HUGE. Food banks can receive huge donations (ie any post hurricane response) and have fund raising events. Again, not saying they dont require the community's support, but what I'm saying is that this large donation to the Athens Food Pantry is unprecedented. The donations will help lead them to sustainable change within their community. This isn't the kind of donation this pantry would see unless they received a grant that's been written by a professional grant write and that's most likely impossible for partner agencies to accomplish.

Keep it up, Tiger Nation and Ohio! This is amazing to witness

But no one will talk about how cool you are for donating to them


If you are going to make an assumption, that folks are donating to look “cool,” I am going to make an assumption of my own: that people are donating to support a cause dear to JB, who is dear to us because of the pure enjoyment he has brought us for 2 years.

People are not necessarily robbing their Louisiana charitable budget to give to Athens. Many are adding to their giving this year to honor Joe. Seriously, is that a problem? Oh, and thanks for letting your left hand, and all the rest of us, know what your right hand is doing.

Sheesh, not just directed to you, but all the Debbie Downers. If people are doing a good deed, what gives you the right to judge how they are doing it?
