I actually lived @ El Cid and it was a great place to live. But that was back in 1974-75.

---

Lived in Goodrich Apartments next door (generic brand El Cid) in the late 80's. 2 BR with a roommate and paid ~$120 a month turnkey. Walk across street to LSU golf course for $2.50 twilight (shirts must be worn in pro shop), walk to class, walk to LSU events, crash Embassy Apartments Sunday pool party, walk or catch a ride to Fred's on Thursdays, single mom upstairs let do laundry at her place after I "fixed" her brake light by jiggling the bulb. I don't even remember where nearest restaurant/sandwich shop was. Probably AM Mart on Brightside.

I now own 3 vehicles, a golf cart, a mini-bike, and 2 boats along with a handful of kayaks. I dropped $120 on marine polish and wax last week.

I think 20 yr old me is winning.

That kinda justifies why a renter can easily remove the sheets It only takes 10 seconds.

If it takes a renter 10 seconds, how long does it take the maid?

It’s fun when one scorches a pot and it has to be cleaned.

---

Kind of like when one uses a towel to wipe up red wine or spaghetti sauce. You are renting a house with a kitchen. You should expect normal wear and tear and the costs to deal with it.

quote:

---

I’ll just remove the plates and the renter can buy paper plates. See how that works ?

---

And watch your reviews plummet and occupancy plummet. See how that works?

And personally, I strip the beds before leaving, eat out more than I do at home, and use a shite ton of paper plates because I dont want to do a lot of cooking/cleaning.

And I believe that is the disconnect. Renters expect a work free vacation and Landlords are frustrated their "investment" is more like a second job requiring work related tasks and time. If you are renting a house to the general public, you should not be surprised when they do general public things.

Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee all in a row is pretty tough.

---

Just two weeks ago we were looking at potentially playing two #1 undefeated teams in a row, and following that up with a trip to TN.

After this weekend, I think TN will be the toughest matchup. I have only seen their game against Bama, but in that small sample size, that was by far the best defense I have seen this year.

Then again it would not surprise me in the least if they lose double digit games to both Kentucky and LSU. With all of the portal driven roster turnover, its not surprising the entire league needs to be on Ritalin.

very small % of people in the trades have the intellectual capacity, temperament, and discipline to operate a successful trades company.

Most of those people in that small population probably would have been better off going to college

---

Assuming your assumptions are correct, why would they be better off with a college degree? If they have the intellectual capacity, temperament, and discipline to operate a successful trades company, they are running their own business, and more than likely making a shite ton of money without having college debt while their competitors (according to your assumption) are lazy mental midgets?

And before we continue with the stereotyping, Ive got the pretty little 4 yr degree diploma framed on my wall and Im thankful for it. I also busted my arse every summer as a bottom of the totem pole kid working construction on turnarounds in chemical plants for the 5 years it took me to earn the money necessary to pay for said diploma. While I have awesome memories, and likely expanded my intellectual capacity
while at LSU, the summers in those plants is where I learned the temperament and discipline to run a successful residential construction company. This after wearing suit and tie and white collared shirt for 15 years

I realize everyone's path is different, and this is only one mans opinion, but I feel if a lot more people who have a white collar career had spent some time in jobs getting their hands dirty, it would likely make them a better lawyer, doctor, bond trader, etc.

So many of yall just want it to be like the good old days

You aren't wrong about it being 2026 and not 2006, but if you are in the lower level at a night game and the adverting band goes highlighter yellow when the huddle breaks and the entire section has to shade their eyes to see the field, its fricking aggravating regardless of the year

And if the DJ with an affinity for overdubbed bass rich synthesized tracks were to suddenly become a Gen X white guy playing the soundtrack of my youth, I would still want to strangle the mother fricker just as bad if he drowned out the band or did it during the course of the game.

And don't get me started on the structured parking system. Just be done with it, put a locater chip in everyone, hit the Visa for $20 of everyone entering campus and let my arse park a car, truck, or RV where ever the frick I want. Ok I sounded every bit of 59 and a half years old there. But still, frick the restrictions that phase out groups like KOR and HATT that made tailgating what it is, Or was.

Twerk all ya want. Just quit delaying postgame traffic flow with your shenanigans on Aster St.

Park near corner of Aster and West Roosevelt every game I attend.

In 1984, I placed 2nd in a dance off in the parking lot of Broadmoor Theatre following a showing of Breaking 2 Electric Boogalo

Coulda been me. And frick you Quincy, that cardboard mat was sus and you know it.

We gave up 298 yards and a score on every drive after the opening possession vs OM in the 1st half.

---

And they had 126 yds and one score in the second half. You cant cherry pick half of a game.

quote:

---

In what world is that acceptable or equal to what the offense did?

---

A world in which in that same half, we had one drive over 20 yards and 7 pts against the second worse defense in the conference. We had 158 yards passing against them for the game, the worst any team has had all season. That includes Charlotte and Vanderbilt.

But we ran the ball down their throats for 178 though right? Its below their season average which is by far the worst in the SEC.

Both sides were completely over matched in the first half. The difference was we were playing an all offense no defense team

quote:

---

but the stronger three-year conclusion is that Baker has not consistently delivered elite defensive results against P4 competition.

---

Or maybe take into consideration that he has coached in 6 games that didn't involve Brian Kelly. And even with the anchor of no running game, an immobile QB, and the 3 and out offense constantly losing the TOP battle, he still turned around the worst defense in the history of LSU.

Who knows if he will be the right fit moving forward, but this defense has been lights out at times, and he has made some amazing half time adjustments. It has also looked like shite at times and struggled to close out games. Like the team overall. If nothing else, can we get thru a complete season without the culture of cancer head coach pissing all over the program before we pass judgement?

Pay $20 and walk a block or 2 onto campus behind pmac

That is a horrible idea! He and his son will be raped and pillaged and have his car stolen and then sit in horrible traffic. No one should ever do this on the President streets, and then jump Highland to Joe Delpit north before getting on I-10 at Washington 20 mins after walking out of the gate at TS

And while not doing it you should also NEVER give an extra $20 to the group on West Roosevelt with the charcoal pit for two plates of bar b q chicken, baked beans, pork rinds and a couple of 16 ounce cans of Temu level beers. Pass on the banana pudding too while you are at it.

The offensive line
Special teams
A cohesive offense that can score points in the first half
Pre-snap penalties.
Sam Levitt not making manic decisions with the football.
Injuries on defense.
Some other shite I cant recall because Im thirsty and its 430 on a Friday

and then somewhat concerned that Baker can get thru the first half without needing halftime adjustments to roll out an elite defense.
