First are we executing as a team and are we winning individual battles. Which are directly and closely related to the strength of the opponent who’s trying to prevent us from executing as a team and winning individual battles.


We’ve all sat through LSU games in just the past decade where we played a clearly inferior opponent and we didn’t win individual battles. The game was boring and the outcome was a win but it wasn’t a blowout

2021 LSU 27 ULM 14
2024 LSU 44 Nichols 21

Even the great 2019 trailed NSU 7-3 at the end of the first quarter but like a great team is able to do they went on to win 65-14
When my team is knowingly playing a weaker team, I look for two things. First are we executing as a team and are we winning individual battles.

Second, if it’s an obviously weaker team, did we blow them out.

I get that Clemson is a question mark and they appear to be weaker than expected. When we play La Tech and especially McNeese, the two areas I focus on come into play.

So, blow out the weak teams, have decisive wins against the good but not great teams and compete and execute against everybody.

Has the shuttle bus (for a fee) stopped? When I last stayed there shuttles ran every 30 minutes, beginning 2 hours before kickoff. They dropped you off at Nicholson, right by the stadium. After the game, we walked out of the stadium, got on the shuttle parked by the stadium and returned to the campground, though traffic was a modest problem.
When the 2018 Georgia game started I had 4 former Georgia baseball players sitting in front of me. They are in their 40s now. As the trashing of Georgia began these guys got more and more fun to be around. They began to sarcastically react when Georgia managed to make a first down.

I normally don’t like sitting close to a fan of an opposing team. At that game the whole section I was in had a blast with these guys.
Let’s see….you've salvaged a season by giving the school Heisman performances week after week. You are looking at generational changing money vs. playing in a meaningless bowl game and risking your future.

I see no reason to play in that game.

I agree and the sooner the better from a PR standpoint.

If an entertainer you like attended a function or performed at the invitation of: 1. Barack Obama 2. Hillary Clinton 3. Joe Biden 4. Kamala Harris 5. Nancy Pelosi 6. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (often called AOC) 7. Bernie Sanders 8. Gavin Newsom Would that change the way you see that person?


I’m very much interested in responding to questions and this is a good one.

I start here. why a business or entertainer would put their livelihood at risk over their political or religious views is beyond me.

To answer your question, my view of a person or business is very much impacted by their political or religious view. It’s simple….I can choose to not support them. I write them off and move on.

Tom Cruise was the first for me when he took his strong anti mental illness stance. That is driven by his strong Scientology belief system. But, you wouldn’t catch me at a Ted Nugent or Jason Aldean concert. There’s things about a person I’d rather not know about them.

You seem to be pretty much perfect. If you lived in Texas, would you vote for James Talarico or Ken Paxton. In Ohio, Sherrod Brown or Jon Husted?


Finally a question I can respond to.

Texas…I would vote for Talarico even if he was on life support. Paxton = crooked, unethical and imoral.

Ohio….Brown with eagerness.

I hold similar views as many of you do on a number of issues and different views on others. As one poster on this board said I reject the intellectually lazy practice of calling anybody who opposes Trump on anything a communist. Same thing when the left labels aberybody on the right a racists. These characterizations are for simpletons. I don’t think all Democrats are good and all Republicans are bad.

Would love to invite and hear stories of anyone this is happening to on the 250th.


You’re just looking for something to get mad about. You want to give your idea of a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. The stories you sought never came, but Lord, let one person tell a story of some incident where they were told they couldn’t fly their flag and then your conspiracy is validated.

Which one of you guys are going to get this started? Lots of talk but no action. Btw, taking this kind of action is a great way to get your arse put in prison for the rest of your life. Forget being right, you better win if you do.


You are nothing more than an internet tough guy whose is butt hurt because you’ve never directly stood up to anybody to their face.
If every person is created equal and some would say are created in the image of God, can it be said that no one is better or worse than anyone else?

Maybe the Declaration of Independence and Bible are in error or misunderstood? I mean, in 1776 enslaved people, women, many Native Americans and people without property certainly weren’t seen as equal.

So, it's now legal to make up bullshite, have your leftist state legislators change the law just to make a suit possible, and win based on no real evidence from a woman who has repeatedly, unsuccessfully tried to sue rich, powerful men for 'raping' her.


No, it’s illegal to molest a women.

You don’t get to only agree with court cases and elections when they go your way.
One of the worst things to happen in this country is click bait video disguised as news.

The first thing i check is the source. This one

MostlyPeaceful.media: generally right-leaning, with a focus on public order, crime, and immigration.

Give something I can trust, if such a thing exists.

I learned a long time ago to not try to be logical with an illogical person. Very few things Trump does are well thought out. He’s reactive and skilled at making off the cuff responses and taking retaliatory responses, It’s the life cycle thing. When many of us are 2 we are oppositional and defiant. Most of us learn how to problem solves as we mature but some return to their childish ways. Trump acts like a spoiled 3 year old most of the time.

The amount of mental illness it takes to actively spend time going to the National Mall to root for algae in the reflection pool is off the charts.


The degree of mental it takes to lie about a reflective pool being vandalized when it will be easily proven it wasn’t is obvious. The people who believe his lies aren’t necessarily mentally ill…..just gullible, closest-minded and caught up in a cult of personality.
One of the characteristics of Narcisstic Personality Disorder is refusal to accept responsibly and to blame others. Trump’s claim of the reflecting pool being sabotaged is a perfect example of this.
The best estimates show that over 64% of Medicaid recipients already have full or part time jobs. Most of these jobs don’t come with health benefits.

Some Medicaid recipients are caring for elderly parents, or disabled family members. Unpaid caregiving is work, even if it is not reflected in a paycheck.

The group I know the most about are adults with chronic and severe mental illnesses. At least 10% have a serious or severe mental illness (conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe major depression that substantially impair functioning.

Not all Medicaid recipients are lazy, free loaders.

This solves a few problems 1) it reduces Medicaid costs as people lose eligibility due to income increases 2) it improves economy as labor force participation rises


Such a magical, simple-minded response. You are so sure there are ample unfilled jobs in rural America.

Go back to your day to day simplistic job.
We’ve all had good bosses and bosses that made us not want to work for that company. One of the best leaders I worked for was skilled at relating to politicians and he was respected and admired by the rank and file, so I know that kind of leader it’s possible.

Bobby Jindal had some of the worst leadership skills I’ve ever seen and the worst I ever thought I’d see. Trump has turned out to be worse than Jindal in these areas: Integrity, decisiveness, communication, decision making, adaptability, ability to set up a positive work environment.

I’d hate to work for a company that had Truck as the head man.
