I’m in need of more/better insulation for my attic as we just removed some trees that provided shade from the western sun and we can feel the difference in the temperature inside. We have the conventional blown in cellulose stuff but it’s pretty old and has settled a lot. I was getting quotes for getting some more blown in on top of what we have but one of the contractors told me about the spray foam variety that is applied to the underside of the roof, and they remove the old callouses stuff. It’s a lot more expensive but I like the idea of not having all the crap on the floor of the attic and apparently the foam is way more efficient effective at keeping heat out of the living space. Does anyone here have knowledge/experience using the spray foam? What are your thoughts?
Agreed. LSU was very lucky in game one after being dominated for 8 1/2 innings and were obviously dominated the entire game 2. Never even close. They appear to be the better team across the board.

Pillars of the Earth series by Tom Follett
just finished this one recently- excellent non fantasy historical fiction. It was a riveting read for me, (and long)

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. Just finished Devil in the White City by Larson -great read. He also wrote Isaac’s Storm- great non fiction books.

The players still have to be coached up and put in a position to be successful and that's not happening with McMahon.
agreed. He’s had enough time to prove himself worthy and he has not. Not even close.

I totally agree with the op. It really sucks that men’s bb sucks. And it is absolutely a joke the McMahon is getting another year. He is currently the worst coach in the wholeAthletic Dept and dare I say the worst basketball coach we’ve ever had. And what do we do? Keep him on and give him a bunch of nil money to go squander. I don’t know who Woodward is trying to fool.

The question I have is, why are we bringing MM back in the first place? It makes ZERO sense…
agreed. He has already proven that he can’t get it done at LSU. Another year will be more time and money wasted.
So I guess it’s official? We’re keeping McMahon?

lol! Tell me you’re under 30 without telling me you’re under 30. LSU’s basketball success way pre-dates the baseball success. Besides basketball nationally is way more popular and lucrative than baseball.

uhhh… no.
I’m glad outlook allows you to the option to not send them. I always say no.

re: Shingles vax: Yay or nay

It’s the only vax I’ve taken (and I’ve had them all including every COVID shot and booster) that I had any side effects from. Made me feel like I had a mild case of the flu the next day, but from what I’ve heard, seen and read shingles is not something you want to mess with!

The only complaint is I wish they had kept more of the traditional Spanish architecture in the proposed new buildings.
Agree very much! Except it’s not Spanish style but Italian Renaissance architectural style. I’d rather see the integrity of that theme run throughout the campus.
Wow! Impressive! Where is all this money coming from? I thought the state and by extension LSU were broke?

And why are they committing more money to McFraud.. is it to somehow cross their fingers that this dude pulls a rabbit out of his arse to make them not look as bad for hiring a flunky….so they will give him 10-12 million to waste on more players…players aren’t the problem, the head coach is..he’s had 3 different teams the last 3 years and ended up with the same results..you can’t tell me all these players he’s brought in in 3 years are all that bad..he stands on the sidelines like petrified wood with his arms crossed and can only make excuses about why they lost.. he doesn’t even have to script anything for the press interview after, he knows it all by heart now…he brings no excitement not only to the team but also no excitement to the Pmac or its fans..STOP the experiment, time to move on…
100%
Have we not seen enough??!! Has he not already proven he’s an incompetent coach? What more do we need to see? More NIL money won’t change that I’m afraid. This is really just delaying the inevitable, and hurting the program further.
