Sorry. I just don’t know and maybe you can’t post it. I’m stuck in an airport in Seville Spain and can’t get ESPN+ or YouTube TV.

What does Clemson have to do with LSU today?


Well, they’re in an elimination game in their regional today. If they lose it potentially makes it easier for LSU’s Super.

I was there. Bama had the best record in the nation. Blew it in the championship


Nope.

SEC. LSU 22-7
Bama 20-9

Overall LSU 57-13
BAMA 56-14

At the end of the regular season, Bama’s overall record may have been “slightly” better because they won the SEC tournament.

I hope they enjoyed the trophy.


Landry pushed for the law that allows public officials to ignore public records requests.

When confronted by a reporter, he said one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. To paraphrase, "Well, when you sit down at a nice restaurant to have a meal, you don't want to know what goes on in the kitchen, you just want a nice meal. So you don't need to know what we're doing behind the scenes, you just want a result".

Landry Press interview...go to about the :40 mark

:dope:
A few years ago there was another thread basically crapping all over New Orleans and Louisiana. As I was attempting to defend my hometown, someone called folks doing just that as living in a "cesspool of rationalization", which I found hilarious.

Thus leading to my location in the sig to the left.

re: Sing us a song your the piano man

I met a woman who is one of those singing piano players in Pat O'Brien's piano bar. I mentioned that there must be some songs she's always asked to play and always hates to play.

Without missing a beat she blurted out (in about 4 seconds):

Piano Man
Brown Eyed Girl
Don't Stop Believing
Sweet Caroline

She says her brain goes into autopilot and her hands have muscle memory when doing these.
Weird, because CBS Sunday Morning News yesterday was in New Orleans and featured stories about New Orleans. 60 Minutes...also on CBS.

Someone giving $$$ to CBS to promote them on the network?
Agree 1000% about these protracted, inane interviews. I'm sure Ben McDonald does them because he's told to but you would think he wouldn't stretch them out as long as he does (while the game is ignored) with his giddy questions.

To me the only way it would be acceptable is if you interviewed a pitcher that has no chance of pitching that day. Anyone else and I dont feel you will actually get anything from the interview.


You never get anything from these interviews anyway.

No value whatsoever. Zip. Zero. Nada.

One of my underrated favorites from 1989--Maria McKee's debut solo album after Lone Justice.

You should stay away from football then...you obviously weren't at the UCLA 2:30 game last season. Not even close to the same conditions.

I was listening to Blame It on the Rain last night, and it occurred to me that one would have to be pretty stupid, or at least gullible, to believe that it was sung by anyone other than a big American black man.


And....it works both ways. I guess you'd have to be pretty stupid, or at least gullible, to think this song could be sung by anyone other than an American black man.

Oops.

They won’t play Mr Roboto due to the fallout with Dennis DeYoung.


That's one reason....the main reason is the song sucked.


That was definitely when I jumped off the Styx Bandwagon, and the idea was basically stolen from Rush 2112. DeYoung took rock perfection and dumbed it down to a smarmy Broadway play.
