[quote] there is a lot of interaction between the 2 fan bases in the oilfield. and as another mentioned, we used to play them every year back in 80s and 90s.[/quote] LSU played A&M annually during the 70’s also. They played every year from 1960 through 1975. They played other series before t...
“Fun fact: One of LSU's nicknames was Ole Lou.” True, but not many today know about Old Lou. The university administration at Ole Miss has made an effort to rebrand as the University of Mississippi in all areas but athletics, particularly for academics. But no one in the region refers to it as “U...
Money for research has zero to do with NIL. Research funds come from grants from the federal government, private companies, and foundations. None of that money is available for NIL....

Educated people in the Middle Ages knew the earth was a sphere. Indeed since ancient times, that was understood by educated people. The controversy between the Catholic Church and Galileo and between the Catholic Church and Copernicus was not about the shape of the earth, but the earth's position as...
You really don’t know France if you think that. Paris does have a large population of immigrants, but so does LA, NYC, Miami. The Loire Valley is amazing. Brittany and Normandy are beautiful , the former largely unknown to Americans. France has an amazingly diverse geography that can entirely change...
The French Resistance played a significant role in the Allied Invasion of Normandy, providing intelligence and sabotaging railways, etc. Eisenhower called the work of the Resistance “invaluable.” I suggest you broaden your sources of information. ...

Most of LSU’s coaches since at least Paul Dietzel have not been Southern, or at least Deep Southern, Arnsparger, Archer, DiNardo, Saban, Miles, and Kelly. I doubt it will be an issue at Bama either. ...
Not sure I would call it a level playing field. Just the factors that heavily influence recruiting have changed with NIL, but the haves will still have. The others will pick up the leftovers. pretty much as it happens now. The number of haves may get even more concentrated, but there can be some shi...
And Paul Dietzel, an Ohio product also. In fact, Stovall and Orgeron are the only two head coaches from Louisiana since at least before Dietzel. McClendon (Ark.) Hallman (Ala.) are the only two other Deep South head coaches. Arnsparger was from Kentucky and played at Miami (Ohio) and Archer was bo...

They made a good effort when Wisconsin drove down and settled for a field goal. Keeping them out of the end zone was a huge deal, obviously. ...
[quote]I mean it looked like House coached every position to be like a linebacker. Wait and react approach [/quote] And sometimes, not even that happened. I don’t know if it was just me, but there were multiple instances, especially earlier in the season, when DBs just looked lost on plays. ...
How long did it take to fire him, though? ...

A friend who is an Alabama alum and season ticket holder who was at the game told me the same thing. ...

There are reasons that Aggie jokes exist. You are an illustration of one of the reasons. ...
One fun side story, in the film of the Cannon punt return, there appears to be a ref running down the sideline as Cannon is making his way down field. But he was no official. Instead, he was an Ole Miss fan who didn’t have a ticket to the game, and couldn’t find one, so he went back to his car, put ...
