re: Basketball schedule oddity

Normally have an “open date” during conference play. Last year played 1/31 then not again until 2/7.

There is a Rashad King in the Louisiana suit that got the preliminary injunction. I don't know if that is the same one from last year but if so is a fall back.
A little speculation but I think LSU knew this was coming today. Kiffin's press conference this week was originally scheduled for today due to Labor Day and was moved to Monday at some point. I guess wanted to avoid a dog and pony show at his presser.

This ruling won't impact his reelection lol


I read somewhere earlier this week he is unopposed for his bench seat.

Looking for LVP Flooring Deals

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/22/26 at 3:49 pm
Replacing flooring at hunting camp and going LVP route. It’s a camp so very low and seasonal traffic. Have found some at Floor Trader that will work in the 1.70-2.00/sq ft range. Anyone know of any places with better pricing? Fine with this pricing but didn’t know if may be missing out on even better pricing somewhere. TIA

re: RJ Luis granted injunction

Maybe i missed this but has Luis asked for an additional year from the NCAA and it was denied? Not an attorney nor do i understand legalese but wouldn't something negatively have to have been ruled against him for him to pursue an injunction?
There is an attorney at Taylor Porter that is a guru in this NCAA stuff. Likely him.

re: Does anyone have starlink?

I have it at my hunting camp. For the time being we have just been sitting it in yard when we get there and picking up when we leave. I have a post in the ground where our Hughesnet (such trash) dish was mounted. I am buying the adapter to mount it to that pole. Haven’t decided if will leave up or continue to take down. Have plenty of trees around and wouldn’t want it destroyed by a falling limb. Happened to dish satellite plenty of times.

re: First eagle!

Congrats! I don’t know if I have made an eagle or not. I’m not very good at golf but have made a hole in one and an albatross. But was immediately humbled after each. 9 on hole following hole in one and topped tee shot in ditch about 20 feet in front of me after albatross.

re: Rule Change that makes sense

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/15/26 at 8:47 am to
Unless someone can tell me a good reason the rule exists because I can’t think of one. Eliminate half the distance to the goal yardage mark off on penalties. They should be marked off as many yards as is available on the field.

This isn’t anything new. My son is 25 now. When he was 12 there was a 12 major out of LKC that made the LLWS. For the most part it was the exact same team that we played against in tournament ball. They played LL during week and tournament ball on weekend.

Yes that’s a jacked up situation with odd number of teams allowed in

It does have some scary reviews. As I’m sure you saw it’s made for termite treatment. We use it exclusively to spray exterior of camp. Wasp, dirt dobbers, etc. all gone
I think only ones that played for Tigers in any sport: Dennis Brown, Kentrell Gransberry
Go check out Eddy Furniss twitter. He is all over the PCSA. Has been retweeting and commenting other journalist tweets about the PCSA. Basically, it sounds like if something doesn't happen in the next few days the PCSA could be dead until next year - or that's at least how i i am interpreting.

re: Black Bears in Louisiana

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/3/26 at 11:40 am to
Have hunted in Tensas since the late 80s. Our first bear siting was i would guess mid-90s. Was a Saturday morning, guy at camp hunted an area that was select cut before the season. He's hunting on the ground and slipping around a tree top and comes face to face with about a 4' tall black bear. They stare at each other for a few seconds and then the bear hauls arse. I was first person to talk to him when he got back to camp. He was wide-eyed and in shock on the bear siting. He said he was glad the bear dropped and ran the other way because he said it was so fast he would haven't been able to get a shot off had it come at him.

I would guess through the 90s all we saw was bear with tags in their ear. Since then the number of tagged ones has gone to nothing. I haven't seen a tagged one in over 10 years. Nothing but native bear now and we have plenty.

Ultimately, this probably gets overturned because the Supreme Court has already ruled that governing bodies have the right to set eligibility requirements.


Possibly but it seems many times lately when the NCAA is getting its arse kicked across the country on a matter they cave and vacate whatever rule they adopted or tried to enforce. We shall see.

re: Did Carlos Marcello kill JFK?

Posted by ThighMeat on 7/22/26 at 7:12 am to
The mass failure of insurance companies in LA in the late 80s early 90s included an insurance company owned by Frances Pecora. Pecora was supposedly Marcello’s personal secretary. The insurance company owned a strip mall in NOLA that if memory is correct was on Chef Menteur. The strip mall had a strip club and other shady business ventures in it. Located behind the strip mall were a few trailers someone could take someone from the strip club to for some action. Supposedly Oswald stayed in one of the trailers before he left for Dallas.
I stopped being lazy and did some googling and asked Chat about suits. In addition to what you found, saw there is an attempt for a class action suit in CO. Was curious how the OH ruling applied. Did it make the athlete eligible to play just in OH or anywhere in the country. Chat said anywhere in country. Taking that with a grain of salt because Chat also thought McMahon was still the coach.
Have any other suits been filed beyond the Ohio suit?
