I've enjoyed all the tv shots from European countries partying and celebrating at 2am or 4am! :lol:

I've enjoyed it. US does a great job hosting.


Same. I'm a very casual soccer fan but have tuned in for the World Cup. The World Cup is >>>> than the Olympics when it comes to fan support and country pride. Its been amazing to watch. Watching the whole stadium sing the Star Spangled Banner last night gave me goosebumps. That was about the highlight of last night. :lol:

I just wanted them to be competitive that's it ...and they didn't even fricking show up


Glad Belgium scored again. Make the score as lopsided as this game was. What a shite show.
The fix is in. No way they play this bad on purpose. This is really bad.
It ain’t the goalies fault. Our defense sucks balls.
Belgium making USA look like amateurs. I didn’t think I’d see USA come out so flat for this one.

I just want to see us play with some competitive spirit and bring back the excitement that has been lacking for the last few years.


This! Show some of that LSU swagger that's been missing from football. Like someone said above. An offense that can run the ball and be competent and a defense that can get stops on 3rd downs.

Success in all mens sports means:

LSU football in CFP (meaning a top 8 team)
LSU basketball in Big Dance (meaning a top 64 team :lol:)
LSU baseball in CWS (meaning a top 8 team)

The stereo in my boat is almost 10 years old and it seems the sub has a short so I’m thinking of just replacing everything.


So your question becomes...

1) do I want to replace old busted speaker on my boat with new speakers?

If so, then upgrade to JL audio marine.

or

2) am I fine with old busted speakers still on my boat that don't work.

Then get a turtlebox.

I like the turtle box fine, but I'm the type that if I have them there (installed) I want them working.

It does seem more BS and definitely affects the game more.

2 titles in 5 years is pretty darn good! Nobody in the SEC can claim that.

We can all all agree this year sucked but seems to be the outlier. Jay has earned the right to fix it and we all think he will.

fish not true check out dr wil stein’s study that we participated in:


Just because there are scores of them offshore doesn’t mean they aren’t highly migratory.

In LA they have been pushed offshore by the pogie boats.

There are plenty of studies that show the migration from FL to LA to TX to Mexico.

It’s beeen the windiest spring/summer I can ever remember. It’s been like a 2 day window for offshore. That’s about it. Lake
Is so open these days not many places to hide from windy conditions.

The Pogey boats don't want to get bashed over the head with by-catch of tarpon like they do for redfish and speckled trout.


Correct. The bill had passed both chambers of the Louisiana Legislature unanimously before being vetoed.

Landry's agenda is very transparent.


Honestly I was surprised he did this after the unanimous passing of both floors. What a POS!

’m thinking whatever you’d need to pay for a new one, take 50% and offer that.


A new one will run approx $11k. So 5k is about half.

Being that old it probably needs new oil pumps, water pumps, etc. But its a bulletproof motor.

I'm actually more afraid of older motors with less hours. Those things need to be run.

I've had a JBL Flip for several years, and we were gifted a significantly more expensive Turtlebox Ranger. I've never really replaced the JBL Flip in the garage and the Turtlebox is still sitting on my office desk. Not that it isn't nice, but the JBL does everything it needs to do.


I've had JBL for a long time. I even have the waterproof JBL. My son was gifted a turtle box standard and ranger. Turtle box is great but sorta like Yeti, it comes with a higher price tag (and their customer service is top notch, his ranger blew and they replaced it in 2 days), but its hard to beat any JBL for the price.
Because griddles are pretty much idiot proof. :lol:

No charcoal, no flame, no pellets. Just turn and burn. Easiest thing to cook on.

It's a joke list for many reasons.

The list is mostly just people who advertise on a regular basis with Lagniappe.

My business would be on that list, as would some of my friends if we all actually reached out and asked to be in the Lagniappe magazine


This and most other companies they reach out to decline it. They don't want their financials in the local paper.

Someone should punch Joanna Gaines for starting this tasteless crap

The bland outside wasn't enough for these people, so they decided they wanted their lives to be void of all color. The interior decorator should never work again. It's so bad and bland.


This is what happens when you spend millions on a house with a "bored housewife interior designer" who has no other qualifications. It seems there is a major influx of these women (thanks to Joanna Gaines and HGTV) who have no qualifications at all to help with these houses.

It came down to a matter of inches with several of Burns putts missing the cup.


Game of inches is right!

Burns is gonna think long about those missed birdie putts at 17 and 18, and those are just the last 2 that come to mind

Same can be said for Clarke. He had several 3 putts after one rimmed out.

That was a tough course. Made it fun to watch. Congratulations to Burns!
