Those Fords are their best trucks ever IMO. I bought one in 1997 then traded it in for a 2001 SuperCrew that I still have. I have always maintained it by the book. It has collected some scuffs and scrapes over the years but I would take off on a cross country trip to anywhere in it today.
The LSU brand gave its three Heisman Trophy winners the opportunity to gain national recognition and succeed at the next level and become wealthy in the process. Think of the resources LSU expended on all three of those guys to get them where they were.

If Joe Burrow and Jaden Daniels and for that matter Billy Cannon truly had LSU’s best interest at heart, and wanted to continue to support the team after their playing days are over, why should they have any problem with the team re-issuing their old number?

Especially with these kids these days, when they are perfectly willing to go somewhere else just because they don’t get their way about the damn number on their jersey.

DJ Pickett can help LSU win games in the next few years. Jaden Daniels will not win any more games for LSU.

This is just pure bitch selfishness from JD. He is only thinking of himself.

My father-in-law used to tell me they fished crabs this way when he was a kid in the '40s and '50s at Delacroix Island.

I'm surprised what they are doing in that video is working as well as it does. Going fast.

FIL used to tell me you ran the line slowly and gently and the crabs would not let go of the bait, you just slip the net under them BUT you had to make sure you were down-sun from them because they would let go immediately if they saw your shadow.

Crazy Rich Asians
I’m not completely convinced that’s a female.
I have had calf and rooster fries at a clay target event that used to be held up here. liked them. Really good with a cold beer.

I would love to sit down with these guys and try this dish:

Bullwhip
Man that's a great suggestion, thanks.

I had never heard of the show but I just watched the whole first season the last two days.
The show was on when I was about 14-15 and I had the hots for nurse Dixie McCall in her tight white uniform. She always had my rapt attention on the screen.

My dad finally noticed how closely I was watching her and started giving me those sideways looks. He never said anything but thinking back on those looks now is pretty funny.

This is a lot of very interesting stuff.

Nothing sports related has any place here.

Sound like you haven't been to a game there.

They don't always do it but when they really want to, and they WILL REALLY REALLY want to, it can be as hostile as anywhere.
I recall reading that John Wesley Hardin spent some time hiding out in north Louisiana, Shreveport maybe, on his way to Florida where he was eventually captured.

We were at the show in Tupelo the night before. I had a good time.

No, they don’t sound like they did 40 years ago; who does?

They had a little bit of a rough start with the sound, I felt like it was a problem with the mix but once they fixed that it was a lot better.

But the place was packed and it was a fun show. Drummer Deen Castronovo was great and he actually got the biggest ovation at the end. The camera they had on him behind the drumset shows he is working hard back there.

Arnel Pineda sounded good and sang with a lot of energy. Neil Schon was Neil Schon. Jonathan Cain came out in a Tupelo High School football jersey so he got some play from that.

I always drag my daughters to these things so they can say they saw them. They always have fun once they figure out exactly who they are seeing. They were kind of antsy in the beginning while they did the “deep tracks,” but once the band started cranking up all the hits and radio songs they got into it and had a good time too.

I thought it was fun, I would go back to see them again, and I was never more than a casual Journey fan. Lots of people there who had seen Journey several times before said they enjoyed it too.

I like best the books he wrote when he was actually alive.
I was at both of those, agree with you.

All this. They ain't a black man alive that likes all those things any better than I do!

Lot of people out there having to justify their salaries and positions and grant money.
