Shaq probably had a bit better career in terms of accomplishments
Bob retired in his early 30’s after 11 seasons to take a job at a Bank because of the pay and stability.
Shaq played 19 seasons.

RIP Brother Bob.

This needs to be higher. Many of the educated business owners you would want in government would balk at that.

What's REAL wild is that I can leave the house with just my phone now and I'm pretty much set.
I know. I can use phone’s digital key that works like a key fob, don’t even have to take it out of my pocket to unlock, start and lock car. ID, credit cards are on phone as well.
I still carry wallet, car fob with house key, and wear a watch because I’m 60 and it feels weird not to.

That’s because he caught them all.

For reference regarding alligator populations

Mississippi has @35,000 alligators
Alabama @70,000 alligators
South Carolina @100,000 alligators
Georgia @2-300,000 alligators
Texas @4-500,000 alligators
Florida @1.3 million alligators
Louisiana @2-3 million, plus 1 million on farms. Almost more alligators than people.

I saw this movie @30 years ago. Wife divorced husband and lives with girlfriend to this day. To be honest, the guy was a douchebag and no one felt sorry for him.
I learned to eat those 35 years ago, when the guy cutting our trenasses was eating them. They are good.

Losing on the road against a top 10 team with the best player in college football, in a one score game, with a chance to tie at the end is not that bad.


Sir, the sky is falling and it’s time to throw the baby out with the bath water.

quote:

I think its very hard for some people to comprehend that sometimes there's just not much you can do to stop an offense.
I am amazed that some of the poster on here aren’t making 5-10 million a year coaching. I mean, all you have to do is just make offensive and defensive adjustments, sub in new players on the O Line, and bench Sam Leavitt. And since hindsight is reality, call different plays where the play call didn’t work.
Obviously we have better players on the team and I am very concerned that the coaches haven't been able to spot that talent during practice.
Charlie Wiess? Pfftt. There are 15-20 people on here that would clearly know how to call a better game by making offensive adjustments.
And the defense? Baker can’t even figure out all he needed to do was adjust the defense. Again, half this board saw that, make adjustments and it shuts down Ole Miss.
I was also surprised that Kiffin hasn’t seen the second string QB is clearly better and would have thrown for 300 and run for 100.

All they had to do was make adjustments. It’s that simple, but our coaches never thought of doing that in a timely manner. I sure hope Kiffin reads this board, sees how simple this is to fix, and does it.

biggest imports from Canada is oil and electric power.


It sucks for Vermont, Maine, Minnesota, New York, And Michigan.
Shutting down nuclear and coal plants to just invest $$ in wind and solar Doesn’t seem to be working out.

The same idiots from those states cancelled the Keystone XL, and the existing Keystone pipeline only can move @ 600k barrels a day.
We are now getting that from Venezuela and could easily add the pipeline volume. The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) can handle the Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) that carry 2 million barrels of oil. Texas ports are in the process of deepening thier channels to accommodate the VLCCs.

Canada needs to grt their shite together.

We have the richest poor people in the world. People are literally risking their lives by the millions to come here illegally to be poor in the U.S.





re: Why is oline play so bad?

Brian Kelly. Poor recruiting, poor coaching.

In my opinion, getting limemen out of the portal doesn’t work as well as building a line long term by recruiting players in a program.
My son sat in student section and said the OM fans in stadium were a little more mouthy this year, but not that bad. Outside of stadium, however, was much different. A huge contingent from Memphis was there. Girl in front of him had her ticket stolen out of her hand by three “subjects”. Saw somebody steal a tv from the Grove. His quote was he felt he was in Chicago.

Oxford usually has @80k-100k people for game day, apparently there were 300k.

Would love to hear the police report from the grove after the game.

DJT has multiple accounts with multiple investment companies. His managed portfolio probably has an amount dedicated to using software driven buy/sell triggers. Highly doubtful he is telling brokers what stocks to invest in.

Here are recent moves…

Berkshire Hathaway - Bought shares valued between $1 million and $5 million in June.
Visa - Purchased a $1 million to $5 million stake.
Mastercard - Added a $1 million to $5 million investment.
Cintas - Acquired shares valued between $1 million and $5 million.
SpaceX - Bought $15,001 to $50,000 in stock shortly after its IPO in June.
Palantir - Made multiple smaller purchases, including a $100,001 to $250,000 buy

Nothing suspect.

Arrest for what? Possibly boot the car if they can, but who’s to say who was driving that car.

The issue wasn't "trees" but one small oak tree (on parish property between the street and sidewalk) that actually lined up perfectly right in front of the proposed front door of the new house.


I get the Parish tree issue, but I would have been ok with removal and replanting a tree that small.

The sidewalk thing was shite, no one else down Friedrich's gets to use that space in front of their houses. That said, by far the greatest recent improvement has been the fencing, parking, and street resurfacing in front of Met CC. Makes it 100x’s nicer and they seem to be doing well as a club. The lack of trees on the golf course is a detriment, looks like a goat ranch.

He pays for that himself. Metairie Club Gardens has it’s own JPSO detail it pays to patrol, making MCG one of the safest neighborhoods in metro NOLA. Since they added the cameras at the entry points a few years ago, crime is virtually non-existent.

There are 6 properties for sale, 3 houses over 2 million, 2 tear downs over 1 million, and 1 lot at 2.9 million. This is literally the definition of we are full.
So if we wore white, Curly Hallman is a winner at LSU?
