Why are you mad about a 24-team playoff?


Because it cheapens the regular season AND championship. Single-elimination tournaments among teams with 3 losses will not define greatness.

Interesting but not exactly gripping story so far. If it goes too far into ghost stories we may drop it.


My wife watched it twice and didn't stay awake either time. I kind of watched, but it's not a well-built narrative in episode 1. Maybe something more comes of it, but the whacko friend who refuses to believe that the body was identified correctly makes it hard to take seriously.

Meanwhile, Rodie Sanchez still hasn't found that sonofabitch Robert.
I haven't even been to Supper Club. There's a certain pompousness to it that just doesn't interest me at all.
One could say that made the song even more ironic than it ever could have been otherwise.
That article takes a pretty massive leap from chain reaction events occurring along a plate to some biblical cataclysm.

There are people who truly believe that some teenaged redneck's gay fantasy about Jesus was a miracle. Perception bias is a hell of a thing.

Laugh all you want. They absolutely do not want to answer questions about how the AD's colluded to defy a federal court order. LSU absolutely has grounds to countersue, which would make every AD and head coach in the SEC a potential target of deposition. They do NOT want that smoke, I promise you.
At this point, LSU needs to file countersuit for damages, get the case moved to Louisiana federal courts, and rake the SEC leadership through the coals of RICO violations.
This is what humans look like when you rip their souls out through their anus.

i'd like to hear his explanation of the actual force a 300lb person exerts on a restraint going 55mph up and down. i'm sure that number is significant.


Someone mentioned -1.5g exerted by the ride. However, I don't think that's in addition to 1g counteracting actual gravity, so the actual acceleration is like 0.5g, so the force exerted on the restraint would be less than half of his body weight.

Florida and FPL put a shite ton into infrastructure after 2004 Frances -Jeanne and 2005 Wilma. Buried lines, made sure gas stations have generators etc.


There was a situation about 15 years ago where Louisiana received a bunch of generators for similar reasons, but they never seemed to get installed. I'm not sure whatever came of that, but it was right up there with the formaldehyde trailers as far as FEMA frick-ups in Louisiana.

Not only is Florida's response typically more organized, but they have made a lot of progress with building codes in coastal areas and have made a lot of investments in upgrading their power grid to be more resilient. Doing both of those requires upsetting some people (causes building along the coast to be much more expensive) and takes a lot of investment up front, but it signficantly reduces damage costs later on and allows for quicker recovery.

LA is way behind that.


You can thank the Louisiana Uniform Construction Code Council for ensuring that Louisiana doesn't improve. They fought for years against the 2009 energy codes with a return on investment of about 3 months. We're talking about changes that increase the cost of an average home by about $250, and they argued it was anti-business. A couple of years ago, they fought tooth and nail against including the requirement to build 2 feet above the 100-year base flood elevation. Of course, the worst one is named Randy.

Also, Louisiana is a home-rule state, meaning that our building code enforcement is done by local yokels, whereas the State of Florida oversees building codes from the state level.

Great catch.

If he fell 100' onto a moving car, those pictures would be a lot uglier.
