re: Weirdest thing you've seen in the woods that nobody believes you about.

That is a super interesting take and thanks for sharing it. I sometimes wonder how the sane folks survive with all the crazy people disseminating their takes on simple weather phenomenon. It’s an interesting world we all live in these days.

We were headed to a duck hole in the woods in North Louisiana. All of a sudden the sky started to brighten, and we all looked up directly in front of the boat. It went from white to a yellowish green all within a few seconds, but at its brightest, it was literally the same as daylight in the woods. It was breathtaking and spooky at the same time. None of us have ever forgotten it. They said it was a meteor that had landed somewhere close to Houston, Texas, several hundred miles away. It sure did seem like it was within 5 miles of us.
Very good comparison, and a fair take on the situation. As I said, I’m very hopeful this young man can rise up to meet the situation. Only time will answer these questions. I will say he’s a very gutsy player that has no quit in him, much like Burrow. That is one of his best qualities.

Just out of curiosity, was this in the mid 80s? We were going Duck Hunting one morning in Northeast Louisiana, and saw the same exact thing. We thought it was the second coming, lol. I will never forget it.

God knows I’m no expert, but after watching football for over 60 years and playing it, I have a gut feeling about players after watching him for a season. The truly great ones have vision. They can see the moving pieces on the field. Burrow, Mathieu, Hester come to mind. We have all seen many quarterbacks play for the purple and gold that have struggled mighty in the last 20 years. I’m afraid the young man playing now has the opposite of vision. He is suffering from tunnel vision. When you get apprehensive on the field, you cannot focus on a wide angle of view. I just don’t believe it will ever work out for this young man, but I sure hope he can pull it together. I am always pulling for the athletes.
re: Congrats Bama. Glad you guys are leaving us for a little while.

They played a very smart game. Congrats Bama. Very good game.
That is some mighty fine testimony. His efforts in life have clearly rubbed off on you as well. He sure sounds like a heck of a guy. Everyone’s life is a gift, and he was fortunate to have lived such a colorful life and a long one. Rejoice in his memory.
re: Plane crash in Palm Beach County today

The same basic scenario happened in 1986 near Texarkana, AR. An 1124 Westwind entered a convective area at an altitude over 35,000 feet. The storm forced the aircraft into a climb, and it came out near the top of the thunderstorm and plummeted all the way to the ground, killing everyone on board. The technical aspects may be a little different, but the result is the same. You do not fly aircraft into thunderstorms. You may do it 100 times successfully, but all it takes is one time with the right thunderstorm to end at all. Just a horrible tragic consequence.
re: Brian Kelly says he’s open to returning to coaching
Posted by Arbengal on 10/29/26 at 8:15 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
I do not know Coach Kelly is a person, obviously. I do know that I’ve never seen a coach at LSU that I had a worse gut feeling about than him. I don’t think I ever saw that man smile on the sideline, and he was constantly berating our players. I would watch a game with my sons, and we would always comment on how big of a negative vibe he threw off on the sidelines. I wish him no ill will, but I don’t want him within 500 miles of Baton Rouge again.

They are disgusting. How in the world can you be a staunch republican, and be friendly with Bill and Hillary Clinton. They are as pathetic as it comes, and all of the good old boy southern charm Clinton supposedly possesses is nothing but a ruse. We need to make sure none of their ilk ever sniffs the White House again.

You are probably correct. I just wanted to pass it on in the event the story was accurate.
I saw a testimonial from a fireman that found a family dead in the house. They had a generator in the garage, and the garage door was open. The fumes can permeate the drywall and kill you, according to the story I read. Can’t vouch for the accuracy of that story, but it caught my attention

Be patient. He will get us there!
I believe it. They are pouring into Arkansas and buying homes from $500,000-$1,200,000 that normal Americans cannot typically afford. This isn’t conjecture, I have personally witnessed it.

I have always liked Kentucky. Enjoy watching your games. It will be a tough game for sure, and it will take everything we have to come out of there with a win. Best of luck to you.
