I'm 66. Went to LSU from 75-80. We had season tickets in the "family section" in the south upper deck from 1969-1973. Cost was $5 adults and $1 for kids per game. We had (4) tickets-thus the season tickets for a family of 4 for 7 home games was $84 for the year....

I'M 66 and go three times a week for about the past 12 years. I work out mostly on the machines with lighter weights. I know I will never be a Mr Olympia but for the past 10 years, my only doctors visit is a once yearly checkup. I go because it makes me feel good and helps keep me healthy. I plan to...

Just curious: what MG dose of zinc are most of you taking? I bought a bottle of 50 MG tabs but already get 15 MG in a multi-vitamin. Kind of hesitant to take the 50 MG since the 15 MG claims to be "136%" of recommended daily total. Can you overload on zinc safely?...

re: Should college football just do away with bowl games and expand the playoff?

Posted by East texas tiger on 12/29/20 at 11:08 pm

Yes they should expand to at least 8 teams. The non playoff bowls have become insignificant. You will see more and more star players opt out of the bowl games to prepare for their NFL career rather than playing in these games. Hell, it even appears that the fans could care less about these games. Th...
