Tonight we are all Koreans.

LSU should be ranked higher than Tulane. Sure they may have better undergraduates, but our research scope and what we do from the Ag school and all the other research we do more research than Tulane.

The theory that Long was killed by a ricochet bullet from his own bodyguards is plausible. And as noted by many he should have survived with better doctors and medical care.

Weiss though started the whole chain of events. He didn't have to go to the state capital to talk to Long and he didn't have to punch him for calling his father in a law a racial slur. The point is that racism meant that calling his father in law a racial slur and implying that Weiss's child was black was grounds enough for Weiss to assault Long. That the response to the slur had to be physical violence to some how preserve his family honor.

Sad that the lie that his child had black blood made Weiss do that.

Yeah, but you have to recall that every game of the entire World Cup from the group stage onward is a Super Bowl. Each of the three group stage games is a Super Bowl to the countries playing in it and for billions of fans.

I'd love to go to a World Cup game, but back in 1994 it wasn't an option and the closest place for me in Kansas City is 6 hours away and I don't think I want to drive and get a hotel room unless I was making like a whole vacation of a week in Kansas City and I have to admit I don't want to vacation in Kansas City. LOL.

But for many of us this will be the only chance in our lifetime to experience a World Cup in person, so I would definitely encourage people to do it if you have the time and money and it's practical.

The location of the sites is coastal pretty much. Wish there was another location in the Midwest like Chicago or Detroit or Minneapolis to see a game. Options in the South and the West and East Coasts are plenty.

My guess is that there are Christians players who support pride night or not bothered by it or feels there's no need to make any statement on pride night one way or other.

They would be foolish to leave NY and the Tri-State area. I thought leaving New Jersey was a mistake. They and the Devils do have a fan base in suburban NJ. The New Jersey burbs or Northern New Jersey have about 3.9 million people. For most of my life they have been the New Jersey Nets.

If I had Musk money I'd build a 35,000 seat baseball stadium in New Jersey and get a team to move or get an expansion team. The New York Metropolitan are and Northern NJ can support a 3rd baseball team.

Here's another quote. Kyler Murray can play for Korea. Hmmm if you get all the Americans with Korean roots who have played football from HS to college and all the divisions you wonder if they can field a competitive team.

“It will be virtually impossible to qualify for the Olympics with just the local talent we have now,” said Park Jae-sik, the general manager of the South Korean national flag football team.

He plans to hold tryouts in the United States and recruit N.F.L. players with Korean heritage, like the Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray, who has publicly expressed interest. The league’s owners recently voted to allow its players to join Olympics rosters."

Where is the site in Hammond? If the site is accessible from the Indiana Toll Road (I-90) or 80-94 it could be easier to get to for many fans from the burbs in a way. But traffic can be so horrible on 80-94 and the Tri-State it could be a nightmare on game days.

Why don't WNBA players play with the mens size basketball? I'm fine with 3 in women tennis.

You mean that you people are surprised that a university department is over bloated and featherbedded? And are complaining about it someone trying to fix it?

Over bloated and featherbedded athletic departments? Can you give some examples of what positions you would cut? What is over bloated in your opinion? Too many athletic trainers? Too many assistant coaches? Too many equipment and locker room guys? Too many in Sports Information and Media relations?

I'd like to see your list.

You want to go the Jack Welch route and automatically fire the lowest 10 percent of rated and ranked employees each year? Look at what General Electric became.
