I mean, it's FSU...isn't that outfit par for the course???

Forgive the quality……the original was posted 20 years ago.

So every time a black casting happens for a “white” role it’s a DEI hire?

No one ever could possibly think he simply auditioned the best.

It wasn’t wartime, Raiders takes place in 1936.

Even in wartime it would have ran on the surface. The “plothole” only comes up because we are now used to nuclear subs that might not surface for months.

Submarines of the era were surface ships. It’s why they had a deck gun and AA gun. They could submerge but it wasn’t for travel really, but getting into position in the last stages of the ambush or to sneak past a very tight spot

They could only go around 100 miles creeping along at 4 knots with full batteries.

I get we can’t really replicate Apollo missions for many reasons but I feel like we can learn a lot of techniques from them

It’s not the techniques they are testing. It’s validating the hardware.

They got a huge list of action items to work on from Artemis 2

Means no PTO, in my experience. I worked for one of these once.

I want to point to my PTO and say "I'm completely off work for this week" and I will use my PTO balance that I earned.

---

It wasn’t an unlimited PTO place, but I guess out of a fit of guilt of how much they suppress vacations (not directly, the site was just super high stress and things fall apart if the decision makers aren’t there….you self suppress vacations because you can’t really “get away” and your work is just piling up so days off generate its own flavor of stress) they allowed managers and above to cash out unused vacation as opposed to the use it or lose it policy written in the book.

Last day is the 14th.

What a miserable bunch. Should no one be excited for anything because of a rough year?

There is not holding on to a rough year forever.

Then there’s the folks who denied the problems with Les Miles approach year after year, accepted the same excuses over and over again. And did the same for Kelly.


JJ gets a lot more latitude because of his titles. But the one question no one wants to address, even when they bring it up as a deflection of accountability:


Why did assessment of the transfer portal fail so badly this year? This was said to be a strong team and the reason why it wasn’t isn’t due to one, two, or even three misestimates.


The entire team was fricked.

This was one of the worst teams LSU fielded in 30 years.

So no, I’m not going to drink the kool aid just because JJ acknowledged recruiting and scouting was the issue, with zero discussion as how things are different. Also with the same staff responsible for those roles in place.

Uh, yeah, the victim

You mean the group of guys who all knew they were breaking trespassing rules so when it developed they abandoned the “victim” and either ignored the situation (guy on beach) or ran entirely (guy on jet ski.)

*If* the old cooger had planed to kill him, it’s only because of the efforts of 3rd parties that saved him.

Hey I’m willing to give JJ all the benefit of the doubt but you are fricking stupid to think that his misevaluation of talent has anything to do with the portal. He fricked up, and honestly I don’t understand why.

It’s not roster depletion from a championship year. He honestly thought he adequately rebuilt, and he is on record as believing such. Maybe not for a championship run, but certainly not what this season gave us.

Oh I’m not saying the older guy was blameless. They BOTH escalated at every step. Only one was playing the victim card after though.
