best decision I ever made back on 12/27/87 .... just completed 38 yrs of sobriety living 1 day at a time. Go to meetings, find a support group, quit hanging around loser friends, and do whatever you have to do to stay sober TODAY

YouTube killed MTV.

IMO, MTV (as we knew it growing up in the 80's- 90's) killed itself by changing the broadcast programming. Reality television shows created by MTV in the 2000's generated so much $$$ from advertising and fans watching these stupid shows. There was no money being made from 3-minute music videos. MTV shifted their focus to the following: Real World, The Hills, Jersey Shore, Catfish, Teen Mom, Rupaul, etc ....


120 minutes, Heavy Metal Mania, Friday Night Video Fights, top 20 Countdown, Headbangers Ball, were all eventually cancelled and phased out for trash tv.

Never had a gumbo to smoky. Follow your go to recipe, I prefer andouille. Make sure the roux / gumbo is the color of dark chocolate.

I know the new owners of the STC house and site. It's my understanding Donielle and Brian were gonna try to keep Lonnie's food menu and serve food through the Cafe. They own the DREAMS Foundation, do amazing things for kids and families with special needs, and make incredible meat pies.

FYI - the D.R.E.A.M.S. Foundation was born in 2007, with a mission to support individuals with special needs and their families. From sports programs, Theater, Art, to job opportunities through D.R.E.A.M.S. Manufacturing Company, the foundation has blossomed into a beacon of inclusivity in the Lafayette community. Today, it stands as a testament to the power of determination, love, and inclusion.

Riding the pine because he didn’t protect the ball and fumbled

UH - 82 offensive plays. LSU - 42

Horrible performance by the Offense which led to the Defense being gassed. Summary of the entire 2025 season - offense shitting in the bed
an LSU LB or DE needs to line up over the TE and check him every play. Disrupt his pass route and QB timing. The TE gets a free release on every play .

Many have already checked out mentally and are just going through the motions before they transfer
The official admitted to Coach Frank Wilson that he blew the call. CFW went ballistic and got the 15 yd penalty

Sir, this is a Wendy’s
REB BEER hunts in that area (Simmsboro) and will likely chime in with his personal experience
Have you ever seen offensive practices where a play is called and the TE, WR1, WR2, and RB all go out on pass patterns ? They often have 3 QB’s each throwing a pass to each receiver running a different route. (See sample pic below) This gives everyone reps and a chance to throw/catch. I have zero problem with Nuss running plays at practice


Lonnie - just curious of your band recommendations that could pull off a Sphere residency ?

FYI - U2, Dead & Co, and Phish are 3 of the most successful and highest $$$ producing shows at the Sphere. Approximately 20,000 tickets sold for each show as ticket prices average $325 each.

I think the eggplant is some Acadia parish shite

for T-giving, I bought some Savoie's eggplant rice dressing mix (St Landry Parish - Opelousas). Incredible flavor and texture, probably the best rice dressing mix I've ever made based on commercial produced food products. Highly recommended if you can find it locally. Mine was purchased from Super One

Kiffin bolts for USC & Coach O joins him, but not Frank


Kiffin needed a RB coach who was from the West coast and had a history of developing RB's. He hired Kennedy Polamalu who played at USC, had contacts with Mater Dei, and coached the following RB's: Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Justin Fargas, Maurice Jones-Drew, Fred Taylor, Greg Jones.

Frank was a square peg in a round hole and did not fit as a RB coach for USC and the West Coast.
