Your team might not regress much from year "A" to year "B", but when you have to keep up with the rest of the league a small step up or drop off goes a long way. Going back to last year, you had probably 6 games that could have gone e...Posted on: LSU Recruiting BoardJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Why does it seem like most of the recruits we are after are must gets? Posted by Woody on 5/21 at 10:48 am It's because LSU and its fans expect a team that will compete for SEC and national championships. To compete at that level, you must bring in the highest level talents. It's a talent arms race in the SEC and a program can fall behind quickly if they don't keep up. The stakes are high and there is no...Posted on: LSU Recruiting BoardJump to Post • View Topic |
| re: Columbia Drainmaker shoes Posted by Woody on 5/21 at 9:46 am Love the drainmakers. Very comfortable to wear for a long day of fishing. They start to stink like crazy though.

| re: Boiling Crabs for the first time. Any tips? Posted by Woody on 5/20 at 1:03 pm Boiling is fine. To answer some of your questions...
You'll probably spend $200-$250 on a double jet burner and a decent 100 qt pot. If this is a one-time thing, I'd look into borrowing one.
Ice the crabs before boiling. Put a thin layer of ice in an ice chest, place a layer of crabs, another ...Posted on: Food and Drink BoardJump to Post • View Topic |
