BREC sure shits the bed a lot for an organization with such a generous budget.

BREC needs to do what they did best in the '80s, at least for my poor white arse. Have 2-3 person staffed gym, free and open from 8am-6pm with strict age limits offering basketball, softball, ping pong, dominos, and a cold water fountain.

What kind of jail time are illegals with fake IDs, SS#, etc, getting?

I’m guessing not much, if any.

Start putting them in prison and deporting them will solve that.

---

I get we need stronger borders and we need to do all in our power to stop illegal immigration in its tracks..

This will be a very unpopular opinion, but once they are here and gainfully employed, I have a tough time pulling them out of that job and throwing them into prison. You are taking a productive (or at worst a potentially productive) member of society and turning them into a huge cost center and creating a tax payer burden. I would rather fine them/garnish a percentage of wages, collect DNA and put them into the system while giving them a path to citizenship.

You want to round up every one of them not employed and/or on federal assistance and slap them on an un air-conditioned bus to Juarez, I would have I have no issues using tax dollars to fund every step of the process.

It was special for damn sure. The 1985 series against Miss St was off the charts amazing.

People talk about 1986 putting on the map. We arrived in Spring of '85 when we took 2 of 3 from Miss State at the Box. Crazy to think but back then SEC weekends were seven inning double header games on Saturday and a single 9 inning game on Sunday.

They were rock stars at the time and by far the most talented SEC team to ever take the field. Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro, Bobby Thigpen and Jeff Brantley. All ten plus year MLB careers. And their best player for most of that season might have been Van Cleave the center fielder.

Kids were sitting on the lower platforms of the light towers that were inside the stadium at the time. Went from having a few hundred at the games to 4000 within two years.

The names on the box scores from that series is insane.

Game 1

Game 2

Game 3

If you are of the demographic that has a kid with the ability to swim well enough to qualify to be hired as a lifeguard, would you want that kid dealing with the demographic that pays $12 to drop their kids for 8 hours of baby sitting at a city run waterpark?

One aspect of Skip's persona perhaps not usually known and / or talked about openly

---

As a student, I was around him a good bit in the late 80's as friends with players and in my student job with LSU media relations. Of course no one knew it at the time, but he was building something, and it consumed him. This is by no means a slam on him, but he could be a brutal foul mouthed dick for all the right reasons. He would dress down SID (at the time) Herb Vincent in one breath and turn around and do the same to the student managers, and follow it up with jumping Belle or McDonalds arse. It got even worse after the first CWS appearance in '86.

He could be very caustic without being petty. To a person though, every player I knew who bitched about him respected him immensely after leaving LSU. Lombardi and Shula had it, Saban had it, and Skip had it. The ability to be feared but respected. Bobby Knight is someone who had the former but struggled mightily with the latter.

My lean was to go with A - all things equal, give me the lower price for the same thing.

My concern would be if they were bait and switching you with the fleet sale explanation to get you into a more profitable car, they may be doing something shady again.

It is a shame that the industry is so damn sleezy that simple and likely explanations to a scenario still make me hold my wallet with one hand and cover my butthole with the other.

I also have a small electrical issue where is staying hot after I turn off the ignition

---

I love just about anything made from 1965-75, but I break out in hives when I think of anything electrically related on ~50 year old cars. Had a beautiful black on black with white top '70 convertible Deville 20 years ago. I knew it was going to have problems when I saw at purchase the owner had installed a second battery, Throw in it was power everything and required a direct strike from a nuclear warhead to turn over the 472ci engine and it was a nightmare.

I threw hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars at getting a constant voltage draw debugged and it was still there when I sold it five years later. The next one I own I will treat like a boat. I am stripping every inch of wire and every electrical device and starting from scratch.

Good luck with the Vette! Sounds like a fun project and badass car.

He's very nice just a tad awkward. The K Lady is straight up throwed off.

Just about everyone that has a Guillot story says the same thing and I have yet come across anyone that has a K lady story that would not say you are being too kind. Including myself concerning each of them.

She was full of herself 30 years ago.

Yep. Just like Ole Miss getting Murray State twice in Oxford

Cant wait to face them in Omaha.

Seems like WVU scouted them and no one else

My theory is them and other teams that played in lesser conferences see more average pitching through out the year, gain confidence, and when they get hot in the post season, they just rake no matter who they see. Until they don't. Dallas Baptist is an example of both.
