re: Genealogy and Census Mistakes
Posted by FreeState on 4/3/26 at 4:33 pm to South Shore Cyclist
Census takers were political appointees in many cases, usually some hack’s brother in law. All too often they were dumbasses who guessed or made mistakes.
Couple that with the lady of the house being the one giving information and often she was illiterate and gave the wrong age of her children.
My g-g-g grandmother was born in Lancaster County, SC. The damn census taker listed her birth place as Pennsylvania. As in Lancaster, PA.

re: Back in the 50’s

L. T. I. = Louisiana Training Institute for boys. A reform school. Monroe, LA.
In the old gym lobby there were life sized portraits of Joe Labruzzo and Art Cantrelle, both who played there. The school was officially Southside High School
In the late 60s about 70% of those kids were simply orphaned and had nowhere else to go. The gates were open and few would ever run away.
By the 80s it became hell and was more like a prison, which it actually was.

re: Just how much of a disaster was hiring Woodward

When Scott was hired this board was elated.
When Brian Kelly was hired a lot of you were elated.
When you’re old like me and been around the block a few times, you learn to withhold judgment and see how things play out.
I never was sold on Kelly but was optimistic after his first year. I was concerned that he simply didn’t fit the SEC.
I think Scott mishandled the Wade fiasco in the first place but I, like most, didn’t have all the facts.
So let’s sit back and let everything play out. I’m glad Wade’s back. I’m optimistic about Lane. I’m glad we have Kim. I’m glad we have Jay. I’m happy at my age to be able to get on Tiger Droppings every day and keep up with you youngsters even when you piss me off.

Probation with community service.
Never, ever complain about what Mama or grandmother put on the table.
Never leave dirty towels laying on bathroom floor nor any dirty clothes laying around anywhere.
Never, positively ever back talk mother, teacher, or any adult. Death would follow if said offense occurred.
Daddy was a combat Marine who fought Japanese three years in the S. Pacific. He raised us accordingly.

Women Basketball Interviews
Posted by FreeState on 3/22/26 at 6:22 pm
I just watched the locker room interviews ou YouTube.
Every single one of these youngsters gave good, articulate, thoughtful interviews.
We should be proud that we have these young ladies representing LSU and our state.
Credit to Kim and her staff for recruiting them.

re: Fulwiley Only Scored 2; We Dominated

She got 2 quick fouls. She’ll get back on track. Flauje and Mikayla were so damn intense it wouldn’t have mattered who else played. And I was pretty happy with our post play today and our defense stepped up.

When she only scored 2 and we win by a zillion points against a top25 team something going pretty damn good.
Time for Milam’s Dad to Trek to Baton Rouge
Posted by FreeState on 3/22/26 at 10:12 am
Remember last year when Milam was slumping. He said in an interview or a commentator said, can’t remember which, his dad came in and got him straightened out.
It’s time for Mr. Milam to schedule a flight.

Mulkey said she insisted they head to Rutgers and start building a team. They parted on good terms.

When our pitchers work slow they seem to be tentative and lack confidence.
