1. My last game in Tiger Stadium was in 2019. Family, time, money, travel, getting older with …..micturition complications all played a part. However, I saw the writing on the wall about the changing stadium experience and decided I guess I was aging out of really enjoying actually being there. If we ever get a home playoff game, I’ll likely go.

2. 3 things can be true at the same time: there are flaws in the coaching decisions, they are more efficient on both sides of the ball (combined) than any of BKs teams, and Lane is still in his first year. Is it still frustrating that we can’t win a big game? Absol-freaking-lutely. I’m still confident the coaching staff will have better teams in year 2,3,4 going forward. I HATE waiting for good teams or “wait until next year”, but that’s where we are.

3. Bama owns us: full stop. I graduated LSU in 2003 so there was a time when they did not bend us over year after year. But aside from 2000-2011, it’s true. What can you say/do about it?!? Nothing. Admit it, and hope it changes next year.

4. I will ALWAYS watch every game on TV. I sometimes say I won’t…..but deep down I know I will, and by the time the game starts, I’ll be blaring the fight song and routing hard. I give myself 24 hours to say “f*@k this, I’m going to find a new hobby. This isn’t for me anymore” But I know I’ll be screaming at the TV by the time the next Saturday rolls around.

5. NIL/transfer portal has attenuated my fandom for the simple fact that some of my favorite teams had local players that seemingly had an axe to grind in supporting our generally shitty state of Louisiana (Dorsey, Mathieu, Reed, Claiborne, Lavalais, Landry, Webster, Spears, James, Whitworth, Williams, Clayton, Hester, Holliday, Randle, C. Jones). I realize some of the best players on those teams were not from LA. But I do not feel ANY of the Louisiana pride anymore.

Maybe the game has just passed me by…..

My daughter, who is 7, and I have a kind of game where she either goes “up please” (regular holding her) or “All the way up please!” Where she runs and I pick her all the way up and her legs go over my shoulders and we laugh and have a good time with it. The thought of not having that with her anymore or even holding her at all makes my heart ache. She’s already getting big enough to where it’s not as easy as it used to be. I try not to think about it but I def try to cherish every time I do get to hold her as I know it will be coming to an end sooner than later.

Planted 9/12 in Southern Marion County MS, didn’t rain until 9/21. Rye/raddish/turnips have come up great. No army worms. Plenty of crab grass, and other weeds though. Hoping cooler weather knocks those down.

Pretty awesome! I liked quite a few of the “new” songs released recently with the updated 12 Country Golden Greats. I wish they’d just make a brand new album altogether

I got some of the same +peak 155 grain on the way. Can’t wait.

Southern MS and LA are getting rain this weekend. How much will be location dependent but since we are in October, probably a good time to get the seed out. Who knows when it will rain again. I rolled the dice and did mine a few weeks ago. Luckily got rain about a week later. Need more though. Putting out nitrogen Friday before the rain gets here.

Marion County: planted 9/12, this pic was 9/26. No army worms, sprouting up nicely.

We finally got 1.8 inches of rain Monday night. Going to check the status on Saturday. Glad to finally get rain though

Of course. What kind of question is this?

Didn’t get one drop in the Sandy Hook area. Dammit!

We are planting tomorrow in South MS. Only weekend we could do it. Did it around this time last year and it grew just fine.
