re: Coach Dale Brown's Celebration of Life speaker list

Posted by NorthEndZone on 11/12/26 at 11:24 am to NorthEndZone

There are a lot of good memories recalled by the speakers for those of us that are old enough to have lived them as fans.

Very well done tribute to Coach Dale Brown by everyone involved. I believe Jordy mentioned Bo Bahnsen as having put it all together.

Frustrating thing is beat UK and LSU is right where UK is at #11 or even higher.

I know - woulda, coulda, shoulda - have to move on. But man, it's frustrating as hell.

I see he's only 51 years old. Praying for his recovery.

Being patient, '27 or '28 is the year to play for next championship according to the math

Posted by NorthEndZone on 11/9/26 at 10:47 pm

I'm as disappointed as everyone else is with the third loss this season, but we have some history that is coming together very soon.

Years winning or playing for title...

1908...1958...2003...2007...2011...2019

1908 + 20 = 1928 (1958 was 30 years late)
1928 + 20 = 1948 (2003 was 55 years late)
1948 + 20 = 1968 (2007 was 39 years late)
1968 + 20 = 1988 (2011 was 23 years late)
1988 + 20 = 2008 (2019 was 11 years late)
2008 + 20 = 2028 (2028 will be on schedule for once every 20 years all-time)

OR

1958 + 14 = 1972 (2003 was 31 years late)
1972 + 14 = 1986 (2007 was 21 years late)
1986 + 14 = 2000 (2011 was 11 years late)
2000 + 14 = 2014 (2019 was 5 years late)
2014 + 14 = 2028 (2028 will be on schedule for once every 14 years in 'modern' time)

OR

2003 + 6 = 2009 (2007 was 2 years early)
2009 + 6 = 2015 (2011 was 4 years early)
2015 + 6 = 2021 (2019 was 2 years early)
2021 + 6 = 2027 (2027 will be on schedule for once every 6 years in 21st century)

From a coaching standpoint...

1908 - Edgar Wingard - 2nd year as head coach
1958 - Paul Dietzel - 4th year
2003 - Nick Saban - 4th year
2007 - Les Miles - 3rd Year
2011 - Les Miles - 7th year
2019 - Ed Orgeron - 3rd (4th) year
2027 / 2028 - Lane Kiffin - 2nd / 3rd year ???

2nd / 3rd / 4th year is year for first title for coaches and they all won first opportunity

And the 2027 championship in January 2028 is in the SUPERDOME.

Need to finish 2026 strong and keep getting better.

re: The flaw in Kiffin's offensive philosophy that cost us against Alabama

Posted by NorthEndZone on 11/9/26 at 4:16 pm to Kikicaca

That's why I said 'and'. I'm not defending Leavitt or the offense at all. Red Zone killed us both ways. Alabama stopped our offense when they needed to - except once.

Only the top row of the east and west upper decks. They can split in half and play toward each other.

Another stat that probably has not happened in the SEC in many years if ever

Every team has at least 1 home game loss in conference play after at least 6 conference games. LSU, Ole Miss, and Missouri were the last three and all lost yesterday.

Montana called.

54-43 with Nebraska, Mississippi, Alaska remaining

re: 2026 Midterm Election Thread (Links inside)

Posted by NorthEndZone on 11/4/26 at 12:11 am to NYNolaguy1

I'm seeing 53-42 on decision Desk HQ

Michigan likely DEM.
Nebraska and Montana are likely REP.

Even with MS and Alaska, Total would be 56 for DEM.

Davis closed to a difference of 25,857 votes.

Letlow 50.9 %
Davis 49.1 %

I'm more concerned about what the LA-06 runoff will look like

2 Rs or RvD?

Looks like the DEM Banks and REP Miguez are in runoff (Banks beat Miguez by 665 votes; Miguez beat Edmonds by 972 votes)

59% total REP + LIB vote and 41% total DEM vote.

Close enough to still need turnout for Miguez to win Runoff.

(ETA - saw your post above)

Only 20 precincts & 2 Parish early vote counts (Orleans & EBR... shocker) remain outstanding in Louisiana

Looks like it will end up Letlow 51-something% to Davis 48-something%.

About 35K to 40K difference out of 1.46 million total (2.5% to 3% margin)

3 Parishes yet to report early vote are Orleans, EBR, & Lafayette

Orleans had 49K early voters, EBR had 56K

Davis got 87% Orleans on election day
Davis got 63% EBR on election day

If those percentages hold close, that would be about 35K + 15K or 50 K difference.

Letlow is currently up 87K.
Davis might get within about 35 to 40K when all is counted.
