According to yahoo, LSU is sending planes.

Looks like it’s happening. We’ll see.

Kiffin’s people are house hunting….just not in Baton Rouge.





They looked at CCLA in St. George and False River in New Roads. Rumor is they bought something off market already.

I'm sure that's in the works soon. They are careful with real estate. Not a lot of margin in groceries, but they have very specific target audiences. Same ones as Sierra, Sephora, most pet stores, etc.

I'm sure one will pop up in Covington soon. Kind of surprised they landed at Juban Road.

This is confusing.

Unemployment up but payrolls also up.
Glad Toyota is onshoring production of more hybrids. Didn't think they'd ever bring the hybrid Corolla to a US plant.

Sounds like that model is going hybrid only soon, which I think is a great idea. Toyota has figured out how to build them for not much more $$ than a traditional ICE vehicle.

If you work downtown or in the big industrial complexes in north Baton Rouge: Zachary and Central are still the best choices.

Northern AP is very solid and really improving. My guess is that these are where the best public schools are. Closest to the white collar jobs and the big medical complexes in south Baton Rouge.

If you work at Dow or CF on the West Bank, I’d go with Brusly or Addis.

St George will have the most amenities, but they don’t have their public schools sorted quite yet. Some of the nicest, most expensive housing in the area.

Gonzales is ideal if one spouse works in New Orleans and the other in Baton Rouge.

IMO the best ones are St Francisville and New Roads. But you will need more $$ for housing if that smaller town feel with lots of boujee festivals and events are important. Less housing stock in general so these are a little more exclusive.
Went there a year back after a doctor's appointment and it was horrible. Service was terrible, food was worse.

Just didn't seem like the owners and management cared anymore. Maybe a dozen customers at most.
109 passengers is about 2 rail cars for Amtrack?

Not shitting on it - I think a NOLA to DFW route through BTR would be great to see. Some sections potentially could be highish speed.

Yes - and at some point the properties have to be classified as a nuisance and the business license suspended and potentially a lien placed on the property. I've seen Baton Rouge follow a process like this maybe a handful of times ever - with OYO hotels.

Here is my take. If we get to a point where you need the physical assets to trade, then things are so fricked up that what you will really need is guns, bullets, and canned goods.


Gold is a hedge against monetary policy stupidity.

Items more easily bartered are a hedge against civilization - like silver coins, bullets, weapons, canned guns, fuel, garden tools, seeds, tires, etc.

He didn't detest colleges. He detested the environment created on many college campuses that undermined free speech and independent thought.

Oddly enough, LSU is better than most in that respect.

True.

Not a fan of them or Jeff Landry though.

I don't buy American made vehicles anyway, so no big deal.



I'm a Toyota guy. But some Toyotas didn't have Carplay even in 2023. And Toyota's native UI is not nearly as slick as GM's.

The lack of Carplay and the really terrible infotainment setup is why I foolishly didn't buy a 200 series Land Cruiser while they were still being built. It would have APPRECIATED in value if I bought one. :banghead:

agreement to use Android as the OS to build their custom crap


I think Google and GM want to own that data and not share it with Apple. Tesla did something similar.

To their credit....GM has a pretty slick UI. I guess that's the privilage/advantage of being massive and having a big budget for tech like that.

This might be a bad move for GM though still. And it would be a catastrophically stupid move for smaller companies with clunky UI's like Subaru and Mazda (or Volvo now that they threw their excellent sensus-based sysem out a couple of years ago and went with a really clunky, busy setup as an alternative).

Sherman deserves a statue at LSU



Dude....I urge you to visit the base of eastern elevation of the Campanile and you'll see how obtuse you are being.

One simply has to walk southeast about 100 paces to the edge of the sidewalk, step behind the first bench, push back the branches of the azaleas, and brush away the excess mulch and you'll see a plaque with William Sherman's name on it.

It's a fitting recognition of William Sherman.

I thought it was a bad sign for him to be going through a separation while trying to rebuild the team and get them competitive again. That shite takes a toll on a person.


I felt like he was compesated enough for his job to remain a priority.




Maybe Kelly was just a jerk. He was putting individual players on blast in press conferences even during his first season. There were clear signs that he was the wrong guy.

I don't feel bad about him getting fired. I felt bad for Coach O - I wanted him to do well, not just the team. I want LSU to do well under Kelly, but I could care less about him. I never liked him personally, but I could look past all that if he produced good results. He's a jerk and he's a bad cultural fit for LSU. And I'd argue that some of his flaws would make him a bad fit at any college or university - they are hard to overlook in a world of NIL and deeper emphasis on recruitment and retention.

Maybe he should look at the media or the NFL where poor character is sort of excused and being a jerk can be masked.
