Reminds me of LSU - one self-inflicted wound after another.

Louisville reminds me of LSU this year. Just one self-inflicted wound after another.

Do not want. His team is very undisciplined - five personal foul penalties.

I was one of the students yelling that during Mac’s last season. Still feel kind of bad about it.
Vulnerable. People have real problems with this - usually pronounce as ‘vunerable’ and leave out the L.

Also peripheral - often mispronounced as ‘perifreal’.

Wasn't the rifle a mauser?


It was a Mauser barrel/action but with an aftermarket stock. Very easy to remove the barrel/action from the stock and shorten the overall length of the weapon.
It’s a bolt action rifle. He took the barreled action out of the stock - it’s easy to do by unloosening a couple of screws. This can be done very quickly. Then he overlapped the barreled action with the stock which shortened the total length of the rifle and put in it a bag. You can see him carrying a bag when he runs and jumps off the roof. And they never said if the rifle was reassembled or not when they recovered it. Savage is wrong here but the folks at the press conference confused things by their imprecise language saying he took the barrel off the gun when he actually took the barreled action out of the stock. It blows my mind how the so-called experts can confuse things with imprecise language that leads to confusion and conspiracy theories.

Shoutout from Billings, Montana!

The NCAA decided to enforce it


Was it the NCAA or the SEC?
This. Why does a Big 12 suspension carry over to the SEC? If it’s not an NCAA suspension we should tell them to pound sand.
Aside from polls, do you recall when Utah Senator Mike Lee tried to slip through a federal public land give away scheme in the recently passed big beautiful bill? I remember - the public outcry was overwhelming and he got his arse handed to him and he withdrew his dumb proposal. I’m as MAGA as anyone but the continual attempts by some Republicans to give away our public lands is just not a winning proposition. Most Americans across the political spectrum love their public lands. And it’s why many of us choose to live in the west.

Have we discussed whereyat before? Missoula since 2005. What a Portlandia nightmare now. Still love it. Just don’t spend much time socializing there.


I’ve lived in Billings for the last 22 years. Before that in NE Montana (Culbertson) for 18 years. Then before that, Bozeman for a couple of years. Billings is mostly MAGA country. That country west of the divide is pretty schizophrenic - either crazy liberal or ultra MAGA. Glad we finally got rid of that PoS Tester.

I’m originally from Kenner. Graduated LSU in 1977. Yes, I’m a boomer.
Here ya’ go.

I’m still interested in a poll showing how people in the US feel about returning some land to the states though but I’m not really inclined to care much about some Yankee from NYC feels.


I’ve found a recent poll, but am figuring out how to link it.

Unfortunately, some Yankee from New York is going to have as much say as we do because these are federal lands owned by all the citizens of the U.S.

Utah is quite capable of managing the land within its borders.


Actually, they can’t afford to manage those lands - it would bankrupt the states to provide all the services that the federal government provides, especially for fire protection, weed control, road maintenance, facilities, maintenance, etc., etc., etc. The states would have to charge the public drastically higher fees to use those lands, commercially develop them and destroy their natural amenities, outright sell them to the highest bidder, or some combination, none of which are to the benefit of the general public who owns these lands.
