One of the easier SEC schedules


So, "getting" three tough opponents in a row is the argument you chose to make for LSU having an easy schedule.

Do you actually comprehend the meaning of these words or did you just choose them at random?

If we lose 3 games put them on the field!


In a fricking Saints uniform just to burn this bitch to the ground,
Ok JD, for shits and giggles on a Friday 4 gin lunch, I will play along.

To be clear, we (or any of the historical big 6 schools) are not being "kicked out" of the SEC over anything short of disbanding their own football team.

If there is one sport at LSU that would be able to handle that transition, it would be baseball mainly

Sorry. ice is melting, but pretend I floored you with flowing prose of brilliance that took your shiny lure to great heights and we shared a knowing chuckle that together we won the internets today.

And eat a dick Dabo.

I think this is the result of more accurate ratings feedback.


As it relates to them utilizing 720p over a higher pixel rate broadcast, they claim that 720p is better for fast action sports. In early HD days they had something of a point, but not in the advent of better televisions and certainly not since 1080p (HDR) became the standard. The real reason is it gave them cheaper bandwidth and was less noticeablequality wise with the big arse advertising ticker taking up 20% of the screen.
Now lets see if the Disney budgeted worldwide leader can break the chains of 720p broadcast tech. Hell, NBC/CBS and have only been using 1080p for 20 yrs now and 1080i for the last five years.
The idea you can legislate violence out of a game that is inherently violent is right up there with the transitioning fad.
Something should've been done. Abd the fact that the SEC/NCAA did NOT address the potential issue and are now looking to blame someone else for their ineptitude is par for the course.

Should USC not retire his jersey?


The school can do what they want but imo, no. Its a team game, and his teams never won shite, just like LSU with Daniels. You win the heisman and a natty, you get your number/jersey/name retired or whatever that school calls it.

And USC might not be the best school to use as an analogy at this point. They have caught hell for scrubbing Reggie Bush's name and number (NCAA mandated they argued) while leaving everything OJ Simpson related in place.

Lsu makes it harder to do that these days


If fans today could take a time machine to tailgating in the mid 80's they would be shocked at the casualness of the entire concept. Other than the lot directly in front of the stadium, you parked anything with wheels puling anything imaginable where ever you wanted for free.

There used to be small triangle of grass median where Nicholson and Nicholson Extension split. Some dude named The Flea and his podnah's squeezed two motor home and a few cars on it every game. By 4pm Flea was shirtless in his Tiger slippers on top of the RV with a trumpet and open flame grill. There was no east upper and there were RVs and cars lined up on Powerhouse Lane (road along east side of stadium) not 20 feet from the gates and the visitors buses. The ROTC lot on south stadium and Nicholson was 90% RV's. The fixture RV with the ceiling fan on a swing arm is a tradition that goes back to them hanging the fan in the actual oak tree next to them. That said, most tailgates was a family with an open trunk, foldable chairs and a nerf football. There was no TAF, no planned pregame activities, and no team walk down Victory Hill. The players just walked over from Broussard in small groups. The band marched over from the band hall, but the only people there were the tailgates along the route.

Then again, we were only paying Arnsparger $150K a year and the stadium was 20% smaller with zero luxury suites, much less a club level. The only thing you heard over the PA was a quick recap after each play, a license plate number for a car with their lights on, and the occasional page for doctor number such in such to call his office.

that didn't go her way with the NIL stuff or something like that.


Well, she should explain to LSU how the business of football is done by making an offer on the number. Have them call Picket's people and buy the number.
quote:

It’s not the 1980’s anymore. Time to move on.


We already did that once. The early 80's were the decade we broke tradition and wore purple jerseys at home. We "moved on" from that when we returned to traditional white at home in the mid '90s
quote:

Its just another symptom of the transfer portal and NIL.


Exactly. If he cares that much about the number, make an offer. Like he took offers to come to LSU. Maybe they could negotiate a deal for him to take it out of circulation, like paying the club to take a stripper off the floor.

She should never be able to interact in society again. Id throw away the key on that loser.


I would say that about 95% of fricktards in police chases, but the only thing that will solve her issues is a lobotomy or execution.

Curious what coaches do when changing jobs?



Nothing. They are in that position because of things they have done. They might evolve over time, but Kiffin didnt wake up day 1 in BR and think damn they have me figured out time to break out the triple option.

As for the one game we play Ole Miss, he might add a few wrinkles to frick with Golding (and Golding will do the same on his end) but again, it will be very recognizable to his last five yrs.

It's a fricking work of art. It could still all go sideways but damn if a 10yo couldn't follow along at this point.



That's cool. I do all of my own custom design for every build using Chief Architect and also use it to generate something similar for all trades.

All plan/layout printable documents are done thru Chief and I use a combination of their GPU ray tracing renders along with imbedded PDFs comprised of Excel and PowerPoint data to generate layout pages specific to Elec, Plumbing, HVAC, Cabinetry, Concrete, and Landscaping.

By the way, Im way too small to utilize a data center, but did just take delivery of a new Digital Storm workstation with an RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell. It slays GPU Ray Tracing. Blows customers (and me) generate real time ray traced 3D model. Especially when I throw it up on a 100" Hisense.

look at this install guide


And where the frick were you in 2016 when, as a custom home builder constructing my own home, I terminated my first ever network cable on Day 1 after massively under planning (it cant be stated enough how poorly designed this thing was) and over installing first ever central network closet with floor rack, two 48 port unmanaged (LOL) switches, 12 zone Chinese branded whole home audio, Sony 7:2 home theatre system, 16 cam Poe system with NVR, intercom (90% of time and effort spent trying to make this homemade bitch of a brick be functional), 100% hardwired Honeywell piece meal security system (and why would I want to connect actual cameras to an actual security system??), bleeding edge mesh routers (thank God I planned a back haul system), and a half dozen or so HOT arse transformers (all next to each other, genius) to power the 1/4 mile of low voltage rope lighting and a large HOT tower CPU as server. All of which came online on Day 366 (because frick that one year self imposed deadline to be done with this shite)

I will pat the builder side of me on the back for one thing though that I have since incorporated into every build. A ceiling to floor chase duct of some sort along side rack to run HVAC with various small registers for direct venting at server and rack components. Then again, 10 years later, I'm still painfully slow at terminating CAT cable and have yet to come up with a decent labeling system at rough in wire pull, or convince an electrician to not frick up my poor system. As for over installing, I pulled over 15K feet of network wire alone. In a 1850 sq ft second home.

EDIT
And I am totally stealing that install guide, well done.

I suppose he wanted to lose some weight, but he looks totally unhealthy!


I suppose he would be dead if he hadn't lost the weight. He looks a lot healthier at 70 plus years old today than he did in the before photo when he was in his late 40's and pushing 400 pounds.

Just answer, scream into the phone and hang up.


When he is in town, I hand it to my 4 yr old grandson who tells them he wants to buy all their CD's...followed by SEE DEAZE NUTS!! They usually hang up but he still spends the next 5 minutes telling them HE has nuts and he saw them when he just peed outside and how much he likes waffle house sausage and that snails sleep for three years. I think his record for keeping them on the line was 45 seconds when Arjun called to "fix his computer virus. He told him he had a tablet and Arjun said it had a virus too. He said "OH NO I am gonna get it,, be RIGHT back" and then he heard a helicopter fly over we hauled arse outside to see it.

I could ignore/block the call but how the frick would I have ever learned about the snail thing? Next visit, I'm having him go with "me Chinese me play joke" .

JD year 1 was not good at passing.

JD year 2 was slightly better


He would've been replaced midseason by a Danny Etling level talent in year 1. He was Brandon Harris/Jordan Jefferson in a better offense.

He then morphed into a more polished version of Vince Young RUNNING the football, and was on par with Burrow throwing the football and had the best passing rating for a season in the entire history of college football.

SLIGHTLY?

They are solid clubs, and probably the best choice for someone relatively new to the game, and imo hands down the best choice for someone looking to upgrade there first set, especially when considering cost.
