Seasons Greetings from the Family Football to you -- Johnny for the WIN!!!
Astros SUCK at home. Anyone who has followed this team over the last ten years recognizes that fact. Wait til the next road trip begins and you'll see what I mean. And Joe Espada is OK. Team has a few players on the disabled list also.

I believe the Astros still make the postseason-- but we have to endure a couple more homestands.
Tennessee's new Smokey Grey Uniforms?

Dogs brought SCADS of fans to Death Valley, but they kept a low profile most of the game, starting with their own botched fake FG attempt. And LSU had its ultimate silencer: Joe Burrow

Miami, the defending national champions, had trouble finishing out games in 1984 with QB Bernie Kosar. That collapse vs Maryland. Then the next week Doug Flutie and Boston College shocked them on the last play with a picture-perfect Hail Mary. And finally that team choked late in the Fiesta Bowl vs UCLA.

1966. Michigan St was a significant underdog even though they were 9-0 going into the game. But they had the HFA. Notre Dame was widely accused of chickenging out at the end by playing for the 10-10 tie.

Well, Notre Dame demonstrated their utter superiority the next week by annihilating Rose Bowl-bound USC 51-0 in the Colosseum.

On paper and based on appearances, plus the home game/ night game advantage, Clemson looks like a sure underdog. But, somehow all the intangibles for this game belong to Clemson.

Never count Dabo and his Tigers out for any game

This style actually has a precedent -- we wore solid gold twice in 1957 and twice in 1959, all road games

an ally to be discarded because they hurt Trump's feelings

The New Trump Doctrine, at work.
Dale Brown is more comparable to Cholly Mac than to Skip Bertman. The importance of those two Tiger greats to their respective sports, and LSU athletics in general, isn't just a measure of wins, losses and championships.

You're a retard

The required canned response, to anything that's not explicitly pro-Trump, all the time.

That can needs to be discarded-- it's past its expiration date.

how Republicans are going to perform against Democrats

Seriously does anyone believe Trump's candidates -- Darline Graham, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins-- will beat their Democratic rivals in November?
quote:

Republican primaries are any indication of how Republicans are going to perform against Democrats

They clearly are. Republican candidates who were endorsed by Trump and who won their primaries -- like the twin "scandal piñatas" Mike Collins and Ken Paxton -- are going down in FLAMES vs their Democratic opponents in the general.
Unreal. If he wants a look at someone who's disloyal to this country, he just needs to look in the mirror.

Imagine a president out on Bedminster Golf Course, or trading hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stocks, or falling asleep in crucial meetings regarding progress of the war, all during a period reports are surfacing about the dire conditions on the USS Lincoln, and that sailors are attempting suicide.
They most certainly have, thanks to Trump's war of his own making and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while continuing to tap the strategic oil reserve in an effort to relax escalating gas prices at the pump in lead-up to the midterm elections.

That upset of C.M. Newton's nationally ranked Tide team later in that season was one for the ages. The campus and the Assembly Center were covered in snow, and at the final buzzer Mike Darnall coolly unleashed about a 50-foot jumper for the win.
I was there too. Never was so enthusiastic about basketball as during that first season of Dale Brown. I think that was Eddie Palubinskas' only season as a Tiger, and it was a good one.
quote:

Dale didn't have a winning season at LSU until his 5th year

Not true. His first team went 14-10 and 9-9 SEC. That included an opening game shocker in the PMAC over #2 Memphis State. That team also beat ranked Alabama and Tennessee teams, the latter on the road.

That's political suicide and can't be touched

In spite of this reality, the chutzpah of reelected presidents is real. I remember in 2004 after W's reelection, he wanted to reinvest his "surplus of earned political capital" in the form of privatization of Social Security! He immediately saw the folly of his ways.
