Including Reliford and Anding, that's 4 players out for the season and another out for multiple games only 3 games in. 5 of 105 or almost 5%.

Bad injury luck. Next man up is all you can do.

JEFF DAVIS PARISH, La. (KPLC) - An evacuation order has been lifted after a gas pipeline burst west of Jennings this morning.

The Jeff Davis Parish Police Jury evacuated about 20 homes near Farm Supply Road between North Frontage Road and U.S. 90 around 8:30. The all clear has been given, and residents are allowed to return home.


U.S. 90 has been reopened between Monger Road and La. 395.


Sheriff Kyle Miers said the leak has been sealed off, and the methane gas in the line burned off quickly. He said an air quality test came back clear.


Welsh-Roanoke Junior High was under a precautionary lockdown, but it was lifted shortly after 9.

Boardwalk Pipelines, which operates the pipeline, sent the following statement to KPLC:


“This morning, September 18, Texas Gas Transmission, LLC was notified of a release on its 16-inch pipeline Southwest of Jennings, LA. Our internal response team responded and shut in the pipeline. A fire also occurred and is now extinguished. There have been no injuries associated with the incident.

“Appropriate regulatory notifications were made, and Texas Gas is working closely with Louisiana State Police and other responding agencies. The safety of the community, the environment and our people is a top priority.

“As more information is provided, we will update as appropriate.”
Corrosion is possible but cathodic protection is used to limit the corrosion.

Older pipelines are more susceptible to internal or external corrosion.

quote:

Major Causes of Pipeline Leaks

Corrosion: Internal and external metal loss happens when pipe materials react chemically with moisture, soils, or transported fluids, creating small pinholes or weak spots.

Excavation and Third-Party Damage: Accidental strikes from construction equipment, digging, boring, or heavy machinery can gouge, dent, or puncture pipe walls.

Material and Equipment Failure: Aging infrastructure, poor welds, worn gaskets, or defective joints lose structural integrity after decades of continuous operation.

Natural Forces: Ground shifting, soil movement, earthquakes, thermal stress from temperature swings, and severe weather place heavy mechanical strain on underground lines.

Operational Errors: Pressure spikes, flow surges, or incorrect valve settings can exceed the pressure limits of a piping system.

how many out of starters have ties to Louisiana


I thought there would be some also, but I checked the bios and there were none that I could tell. But I don't know any of them personally.

That was part of the reason I wanted to compile the list. This is definitely not the LSU / Ole Miss LA vs MS player games of past decades. It is a Texas to Florida southeastern US players game with a few others mixed in (QBs from Oregon and Michigan for example).
Based on ourlads depth charts including K and P

LSU

Louisiana 3
Florida 3
Georgia 3
Texas 3
Alabama 2
Tennessee 2
California 1
D.C. 1
Illinois 1
Maryland 1
Mississippi 1
North Carolina 1
Oregon 1
Pennsylvania 1

In-state 3
Other SEC states 14
Out of SEC 7

Totals

Florida 7
Texas 6
Georgia 5
Mississippi 5
Tennessee 4
Alabama 3
Louisiana 3

The only 8 of 48 or 16.7% from LA and MS is most likely a record for fewest in a LSU vs OM football game ever.
I don't know the reason why, but the band left the PMAC at ~5:00-5:15 and went into the basketball practice facility. I was stopped in front of them on my way to the stadium.

Maybe they stayed in there for a while longer than usual for heat-related safety reasons (hydration break) before heading into Tiger Stadium??
That’s exactly what I told my adult son.

If you’re going to bet on NFL, bet on the teams that are ‘supposed to win’.

Not necesssrily all favorites because the NFL balances those games between average and bad teams to make things not as obvious.
What bullshite on all three calls.

I know it’s another thread about it, but this bullshite needs to be called out as often as possible.
Then announcers say Saints hold Lions to FG with help of penalties. :lol:

If not for the ghost penalty on Saints the Lions may not have even been close to scoring.

You're right.

I always misread that every year as the highest and lowest out of all voters.

I misread the chart and deleted comment.
The horns make them unique from a rock standpoint, but some of their early songs were hard (enough) rock at the time they were released.

quote:

Chicago is an American rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1967. Self-described as a "rock and roll band with horns", their songs often also combine elements of classical music, jazz, R&B, and pop music.

Jimmy Jam. & Terry Lewis
Robert “Mutt” Lange
Quincy Jones
Maurice Starr (created ‘Boy Bands’)


Also Diane Warren on I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love

She has written hundreds of songs including these 33 Top-10 songs (9 number 1s).

Here's the Huey Lewis video. The TD interface only allows one video embed per post.

In my office at work in south Louisiana. Coworker stuck their head in my door and said "a plane hit the World Trade Center". We watched on TV in the lunchroom as much as we could for the rest of the morning.

Worked at the same place for over 35 years and don't remember all of what I did for most of those 8,000+ days, but I remember that morning like it was yesterday.
