I actually believe this story. I've lived through a tornado and seen what it can do with my own eyes from very close. It's insane.

My heart goes out to all that were affected in Alabama, truly a tragedy. Here's my experience, and I'm just sharing, this isn't meant to take away from the horrific event that happened to the good people of Alabama.

In my close encounter, in summer of 1987, in Baton Rouge, we had 3 tornados that day and I was 15 yrs old and working at Shenandoah golf course cutting grass when the entire sky started turning directly over my head and I was about 300 yards from the building we kept the lawn equipment in.
I remember how scared I was as that thing touched down behind me and started chasing me and there was debris flying everywhere and there was no where for me to go (I rode a bicycle there everyday from a few miles away). I couldn't see or find anyone. I got back to the building and it was only a shell because it burned down the year before and all the equipment that was saved was outside and I hid behind the equipment from all the debris flying around and watched a huge tree get uprooted and float in the air like magic. It was crazy.
There were a couple of co-workers that were hiding behind the equipment too and one of them got up, dodged debris, ran to his van (even though we were yelling at him not to) and moved it about 40 feet from where it was parked and got out, and ran back behind the equipment and within seconds a tree dropped right where his van was originally parked and the whole time I was thinking, "why didn't you just drive away?".

Right as the tornado got within yards from us (very close), it just disappeared suddenly. Saved by God or an angel or just pure luck. I'm sure we would have died had it not.

The reason I believe the other story is because another tornado not far away that day took an entire grocery store roof completely intact and launched it.

This has zero to do with the dynasty being over.

Ok, so it's not about the end of the dynasty. Then it must be that you, and the other bama fans, are personally insecure and need validation, etc. :cheers:

I can't lie the fighting between LSU and ole miss fans is too funny

It really is. I also really enjoy the Texas / aTm fighting and Bama / Auburn fighting as well. Always entertaining.

And 24,179~ish days since Ole Miss won anything of meaning in football

Do you have ANY idea what it takes to achieve such an honor as Rhodes Scholar finalist?

It doesn't really matter. Here's my take:

You can be extremely intelligent / genius and still be stupid and/or make stupid decisions/comments. I've known several of them over the years.

There's a scale, on one side, book smarts, on the other, common sense. The more you have of one, the less of the other. This applies to almost everyone. Rarely have I ever seen someone with all of both. I'd like to think many people are somewhere in the middle with both, or 60-40 in either direction.

I know people who can ace tests, but can't apply it in real life, and others who fail the tests, but can apply it with ease.

Look at the most intelligent people out there, super smart, but weird and have no social skills. Then you have people that can't do well in school or grasp simple concepts, but are super "street smart" and can read people or situations better than most.

Of course there are some that have neither (sad to see) and some that have all or most of both (extremely rare).

Welp, guess they can't hire family either. The likelihood of a romantic/sexual relationship jumps exponentially when a family member is involved.

That's actually funny......and there's truth in that as well.

Dawn has more SEC championships than lsu so we at least know Dawn is the best the SEC has to offer

---

Again, I wasn't repping LSU on that one.

Ok, so she may be the best right now, but the GOAT?? Sorry, no.

Geno Auriemma has 12 titles to Dawn's 3. I'd say Geno is the GOAT until she surpasses 12 titles.

quote:

---

Of course the SEC is led by the GOAT of the conference Dawn.

---

Is she REALLY the GOAT??? She only has 3 National championships.

Kim Mulkey has 4. And from 2 different programs. Sounds like she needs to win more championships to be the GOAT.

Plus, Kim is the only person in college basketball history to win a national championship as a head coach, assistant coach, and as a player.

1.) Starts dumbass thread about LSU fans
2.) Gets called out on said dumbass thread
3.) Claims "it's just for fun, lighten up"
4.) Gets defensive and starts whining / plays the victim
5.) Resorts to calling people vaginas (while theirs is bleeding)
6.) Tries to play the whole thing off like they're cool

Bama fan......checks out.
