The Fleetwood Mac saga is legendary!
Jennifer Anniston is the correct answer.
Nebraska-Oklahoma 1971
Boston College-Miami 1984
Notre Dame-Miami 1988
Harvard-Yale 1968
USC-UCLA 1967

There are many great games!
Good list. You nailed the top 8 imo. I would replace Shaq with David Thompson at #9.

Wore Sears Toughskin jeans to school for a few years.

Sears always had good billiard balls and ping pong paddles

You could buy shoes, clothes, electric football and a socket set all in one visit.

Anyone else work-out on bags with Fight Camp? I really enjoy their work outs, training paths, cardio, core, stretch, etc.
Privileges and courtesies

The Medal of Honor confers special privileges on its recipients:

Each Medal of Honor recipient may have his or her name entered on the Medal of Honor Roll (10 U.S.C. § 1134a and 38 U.S.C. § 1562) so long as they qualified for the medal under modern statutory authority.
Each person whose name is placed on the Medal of Honor Roll is certified to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs as being entitled to receive a monthly pension above and beyond any military pensions or other benefits for which they may be eligible. The pension is subject to cost-of-living increases; as of December 1, 2023, it is $1,671.16 a month.
Enlisted recipients of the Medal of Honor are entitled to a supplemental uniform allowance.
Recipients receive special entitlements to air transportation under the provisions of DOD Regulation 4515.13-R. This benefit allows the recipient to travel as deemed fit, as well as allows the recipient's dependents to travel either overseas–overseas, overseas–continental U.S., or continental U.S.–overseas when accompanied by the recipient.
Special identification cards and commissary and exchange privileges are provided for Medal of Honor recipients and their eligible dependents.
Recipients are granted eligibility for interment at Arlington National Cemetery, if not otherwise eligible.
Fully qualified children of recipients are automatically nominated to any of the United States service academies.
Recipients receive a ten percent increase in retired pay.
Those awarded the medal after October 23, 2002, receive a Medal of Honor Flag. The law specified that all 103 living prior recipients as of that date would receive a flag.I
Recipients receive an invitation to all future presidential inaugurations and inaugural balls.
As with all medals, retired personnel may wear the Medal of Honor on "appropriate" civilian clothing. Regulations specify that recipients of the Medal of Honor are allowed to wear the uniform "at their pleasure" with standard restrictions on political, commercial, or extremist purposes (other former members of the armed forces may do so only at certain ceremonial occasions).
Forty states offer a special license plate for certain types of vehicles to recipients at little or no cost to the recipient. The states that do not offer Medal of Honor specific license plate offer special license plates for veterans for which recipients may be eligible.
In 1969, the Nebraska State Legislature amended the Nebraska Hall of Fame statutes "to provide that Nebraskans awarded the Medal of Honor shall be named to the Hall of Fame" and required that the Hall of Fame Commission procure a plaque with the names of the Medal of Honor recipients.

Southern Hotel in downtown Covington is great.

Walking to Mattina Bella for breakfast or brunch/lunch is great and highly rated.

Some quaint places to visit/browse/shop, including the place behind M B. The art supply store is very impressive, whether you're into art or not.

Great weekend dinner/live music restaurant choices still right near hotel.

You could stay in Covington on foot all weekend...the Reagan statue, Acquistipace grocery, so many good eats...Cafe Rani, New Orleans Wine & Spirits, etc, etc...and the great ice cream place where you watch your huge cone being made!

The lakefront in Mandeville is a nice drive, with good eateries and walking along the lake.

Liz's where yat dinner is a good breakfast/brunch/lunch place too.

re: Torn Meniscus Question

Posted by LSUandAU on 11/17/25 at 9:55 pm to
Had 1/2 of medial meniscus removed from knee with arthroscopy 20 years ago. It had been torn and was loose, bending over itself, etc...very painful about 50% of the time and dull pain the rest of the time.

Arthroscopy was outpatient and recovery was not bad. Full recovery at 3-4 weeks. Activity was not limited after surgery...I could participate without pain.
Buy American!

Checks for folks are dumb and won't help.
Both 30. I think that's a good age.

Sexton represents him in contracts for work (Disney/ESPN), product endorsements (Aflac, etc.), appearance fees, speaking engagements...everything basically. As some have said, that's what agents do.
