whatever flaws Lane Kiffin may have had throughout his career, "lack of confidence" doesn't sniff the list

these stats were dumb against Kelly and they're dumb against Kiffin. Everyone has a bad record against top ten teams. That's why they're top ten teams!

Holy Rosary has the most legit European look. Like you walked into a random medium sized town in Southern Italy.

St. Patrick's is the chalk pick.

then who could forget Our Lady of Divine Providence on West Metairie (originally built as school cafeteria).

Not disagreeing with most of your post but explain to me why this would make any sense. The $ you get from rent is going to be way more than your increased assessment

At the end of the day, Congress has to step in and formalize the NCAAs authority to enforce its rules.

This is the only way any of this ends. For years the NCAA acted like a governmental body with power to set and enforce rules, and people just kind of accepted it. (In fact, 115 years ago Teddy Roosevelt basically ordered the colleges to form the NCAA's precursor, or he was going to shut the whole thing down, so initially it did have this sort of intangible governmental aura).

In 1984 the Supreme Court pointed out that this wasn't actually true in Oklahoma v. NCAA. Once that ruling came out, the writing was on the wall. If anything, it's surprising that it's taken 40 years for the whole thing to reach its logical conclusion.

There are a lot of indications and credible suggestions that what went down here was anything but normal.

Thus, it seems reasonable to examine it all a bit more before drawing such a conclusion . Surely, you aren't trying to suggest there is no way the grand jury process could be corrupted and, as such, we should never even consider such a thing, huh?

Well no. I'm sure GJ's have been bribed in the past, and I obviously think that should be investigated. But I don't think that's what anyone is claiming here (if I'm wrong, I'm wrong). I think what Landry really wants is an investigation to show that this GJ was "politically motivated" or "out to get him" or something to that effect. And I don't think that is or should be grounds for an investigation.

To the extent that this GJ was not "under the typical grand jury process" I think that's obviously true, but the remedy is overruling the bill, which has already happened here.

Of course in the end it's all grandstanding, in both directions. And as this thread shows, the people who he wants to eat it up are eating it up.

I don't know how old you are or how long you've been at this but it gets better. It never gets *great* but it gets better.
And I certainly work a lot less hours than I did in my 20s and early 30s. For better or for worse.

What did y'all think the St Michael prayer meant? Vibes? Papers? essays?
