I believe so. Haven’t been in years but it looks like it’s still open and they serve crawfish so it seems like a good bet.

Shoal Creek Saloon is THE LSU bar. I’d go there if it were me.
I certainly wouldn’t be mad about Aranda but his defense doesn’t fit our personnel. Our great Freshmen DL would used to take on blocks instead of penetrate and disrupt.

They probably don’t really talk much at all. I don’t think Kiffin tries to help his DC improve his defense.


Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. If the defense is good, lane won’t have a scape goat for when they lose. It’s why he hired a drunk to run the D at his last stop…
It’s a fun easy watch with characters you already know. It’s great cuz it’s similar to Rick and Morty where who knows what’s gonna happen next or what the societal rules are.

Are we normalizing rape fantasies now?


Seems like the sentiment here was "how nuts are they to do this and holy shite this exists?" not "Rape fanatsies on craigslist are normal."
Lets rank characters still alive worst to best:

1) White Worm
2) Rhaena
3) Rhaenyra
4) Alice Rivers
5) Aemond (Dude is a bitch)
6) Helaena
7) Alicent
8) Jane Arryn
9) Ulf
10) Clubfoot
11) Hugh
12) Gwayne
13) Ormund
14) White Wolves as a whole (I love the Starks)
15) Daron (he wins by not being dumb...yet)
16) Addam
17) Alyn
18) Sea Snake
19) Daemon
20) Aegon (How tf is he the best character?)

Where tf are you hanging out where your car getting vandalized is all but a guarantee?

Pat Screen, Meauxjeaux.


I took this as modern athletes. Pat Screen was great at Jesuit, did he do much at LSU?
quote:

You didn’t lose a ton off the defense last year, and what you did lose you replaced with better talent.


With all due respect, I am not sure that's 100% true.

DE - Princwell U is clearly better than the guys we had last year but both our DEs last year were far more proven than Ross. Hopefully he and Brown are good but we don't know.

DT - Guillory and Gooden were solid. We replace them with true freshman and guys who were on not great teams last year. Again, I am hopeful they are better but its not a fact.

CB - Delane was as good as we have had as a pure cover CB. I hope our guys are just as good but we have to see it.
Jesuit's list is short for the major sports:

Debo Jones
Foster Moreau
Mason Katz
13th in the country is great but that also puts us at 7th in the SEC. I just don't think 7 SEC teams will exist in the top 13 at seasons end once we start canabalizing each other.
quote:

and if Alicent didn't make that deal she would have taken KL one way or another.


No. If Alicent doesn't make the deal and convice Aemond to take Vhaegar to Harrenhall, Vhaegar would have stayed in KL and Rhaenyra would still be on Dragonstone refusing to make any real decisions. She was handed the throne in a very nonsensical manner. If Rhaenyra was any good at Civil war, she should have taken KL and killed Alicent and anyone in her family still in the city immediately.
My biggest worry about the Clemson game is the mind set going in. LSU players are reading the rat poison that we will beat them big and that we have such a talented roster. I pray we don't overlook them thinking it'll be a walk in the park.

Clemson, on the other hand, is ripe for Dabo's "little ole Clemson" nonsense that he gets his teams motivated with. He has a million clips he can show his team of them being disrespected and doubted.

The main advatage we have going in is Tiger Stadium. I think that will be a real difference maker for us.
quote:

she's clearly shows she's better at fighting civil wars than ruling and she knows it.


What has she done to be good at fighting a civil war? She is equally as bad at that as she is at ruling. She is only in KL because the writers decided to have Alicent hand it to her. It wasn't some great tactical decision she made to win the throne. It was literally given to her.
quote:

I guess the show follows the book


I will give no details as this is a no book thread but no, at this point it barely resembles the book. I guess major events are still happening as they do but not in the manner in which the events were portrayed.

and that makes the show:

quote:

just dumb at this point.
quote:

I'm just in it for the Gods Eye sequence at this point


You mean when a riderless Vhaegar fights Damon and Caraxes?
quote:

ou’re acting like it’s a poor adaptation of POV chapters.


quote:

Outside of the occasional overheard/retold dialogue, you couldn’t have a show without “between the lines” additions to the story.


No but its a very poor adaptation of the history books. I get they are second hand but the picture that is painted in the books is FAR better than the shite they have put out as "the real story" in this show. Everyone is weak and dumb outside of maybe Aegon and Ormund. Every bad arse tactical move from the books has been castrated as some sort of mistake or misunderstanding. Daemon and Aemond have been completely crippled as characters. And the dragons aren't even following the cannon rules of how dragons are supposed to act (Vhaegar abandoning Aemond as an example). Aegon burning that army is the first time a main character made a purposeful ruthless decision to further their chances of winning the crown in who knows how long.

I enjoy this world but this is an objectively bad show that is existing purely on a built in fanbase and their love of dragons. Dialogue is awful and the logic of a ton of the decisions make no sense.

quote:

And if GRRM wanted differently he should’ve maybe been more involved writing for the show.


They kept changing his story for the worst. Why would he stick around for that?
