Remember when CLM would lineup in the I formation and attempt to run LF7 between the tackles against Bama over and over and over again year after year.

Definition of insanity. Gaslit us all during the 2016 offseaon only to come out and run a toss dive on the first play vs Wisconsin.

Or a little bit further into Natchitoches for Lasyone's

This is it. The first time I ever ate a meat pie from a sit down restaurant was here and it blew my mind. You can get them frozen to go and they blow the ones in the green box from the grocery store out of the water. I usually try to get on and off of I-49 with as little time in between as possible but if the mood strikes for a stop, this is where I'll go.

Got yet another guy lying on the turf and you really want to play the end of last week right now, ESPN?

Team looks to be awake

Did not go to Phuket or any of the Andaman Islands, we stuck to the Gulf of Thailand. As far as Bangkok goes, outside of the main touristy things like the Royal Palace and the Reclining Buddha, the best things to do are to just wander around. Pick a different district of the city everyday and just go mosey. I needed to go to a pharmacy at one point and took a Grab (download that app now, btw) across town. Got what I needed and then saw there was a massive market behind the pharmacy that just rambled through the streets. You can try all sorts of goodies at every stall. They've got excellent cashews, massive muscat grapes, all sorts of things on skewers.

Going to say that you'll most likely want to stay in Phra Nakhon if you haven't already booked. It's got all the main sites, temples, Khao San Rd, etc. Get checked in to your hotel (preferably one with a rooftop pool, do NOT forget sunscreen), take a nap to get over your jet lag, and then immediately head to Khao San Rd to get your bearings and a taste of street food.

One of the best side trips we did was going to the Royal Barge Museum. It's kind of confusing to get to, your driver drops you off at the end of this street that leads down a sketchy looking alley that then takes you meandering through the canals until you get to the museum. It's well worth the adventure to see these beautiful hand-carved boats up close



Book a Canal Tour, this is one of the coolest things we did. The guide picked us up and we just cruised around one evening sipping on Singha and checking out all the cool sites. Reminded me of the scene in Pirates of the Caribbean where they go to Singapore. The boat makes a couple of stops for you to be able to walk around and buy something if you like.

Go to a Muay Thai fight at the stadium, very cool to see. There are some good restuarants in the neighborhood you can grab a bite and drinks at before you go in. One Laotian place in particular was solid, Lao Dtom Lao.

Eat at the famous Pad Thai place, Thipsamai. The line moves quick, the food is delicious, and the neighborhood is cool and full of other places to check out.

Watch out for Taxis and especially Tuk-Tuks trying to scam you. Always use Grab to get a ride when you can. Be aware of your surroundings and items on your person when you're in crowded tourist areas but you'll be fine. The Thais are lovely people and it's a gorgeous country that is both weird and fun and a little overstimulating in a good way.

ETA: This video was helpful in planning, Paddy Doyle will have everything you need for the islands as well

Airport walkers just stopping in front of me for no reason with zero situation awareness that you slammed on the brakes right in front of me to spin around and look at a pretzel shop.

It's always bad, but ATL on Sunday morning was like all of these people decided to be in the airport at once. I'm a big dude, and I move fast, and if I had the lack of situational awareness some of these NPCs have I would've absolutely steamrolled a few of them. People don't look where they're going, they stop on a dime, and just do things like stand in the middle of the damn terminal, it's truly unbelievable. I had one guy that was walking perpendicular to me in the terminal literally just stop in my path about 2 feet in front of me. I shoulder checked him as I walked by. Pay fricking attention to where you're going.

The other one is people at baggage claim. I stand back a ways from the belt to make sure I don't get hemmed in and to give other people space to chase their bags down the line because the aren't paying attention to see them coming in the first place. People will come stand right in front of me and wait like I'm not even there. Drives me crazy.

Had a big baw in the middle seat from Lex to Atl on Sunday spilling over into my seat, kept elbowing me while adjusting his girth and never once excused himself, but did try to strike up a conversation with me at 6:30am while I was obviously hungover and was actively putting in my earbuds. Sometimes I'm in the mood to talk, sometimes I'm not. Read the room. Guy had some sort of mobility issue and made me crawl over him to get in the seat, whatever, I'm ready to get in the air, but then elbows me after the plane lands and tells me to "go ahead". I understand he probably thought he was being polite, but I told him to please just grab his stuff as I didn't want to climb over him again. Just go, man, do your thing. It's like the person that comes to a stop in the opposite lane with no one behind them when you're trying to take a left. Just go, get out of the way.

The other one is the people that try to get on trains/trams/elevators before letting the people that need to get off out first. Wait a damn second and let me leave, goodness.

The last one is Chinese tourists. IYKYK.

Liked the question by Glen West about the possibility of them going for 2 with the TD in the first overtime. I had thought about this too. Lane explained their reasoning, and I get it, but it's also fair to say that you knew exactly what was coming on the next possession if UK was to score a TD, because they did it just last week. Defense was questionable at that point in the game, and you knew it. On the surface kicking the XP is obvious but you have to think about where you're at in that situation. Lane's explanation basically mirrored his thoughts on the 4th down call, which is that he's playing strictly by the numbers and not taking the feel of the game into account. IDK, maybe it just feels to me that if you go for 2 after that score, you still have at least some control over your own destiny.

I wish someone would've asked about them having 16 seconds left in the game with a timeout (if you don't burn it trying to ice the shitty UK kicker) and them electing to just take a knee instead of trying for a play to get you into FG range. You would've had time. Going into OT there was always going to be death.

Lot of LSU baws here so far. Saw Verge at Keeneland today and gave him a Geaux Tigahs which he reciprocated. Impressed by the amount of P&G I've seen this far. This is a great road trip - beautiful weather, bourbon, horses, and plenty of Kentucky Belles walking around.
