re: Lumbar Laminectomy stories please. - jrbjr
I had an L4 laminectomy just before the Covid lockdown. I had a bone spur that was impinging on a nerve and shooting pain down my right leg. It was getting to be intolerable. Like others have said, the immediate recovery from the surgery was pretty quick. I’m not 100% better, but probably 90%. And...

re: How did Tommy White look at the plate? - jrbjr
In my unprofessional opinion, he was pulling his front shoulder out too early on almost every pitch. He make pull contact on several well thrown down and in pitches before lining one for a double. I think if the pitcher had thrown one away, he would have struck out. But the pitcher was going with hi...

The problem is that future social security taxes are needed to pay the current obligations. We can’t allow future workers to opt out of SS without huge disruption or another huge increase in national debt....

re: Help with the name of a series - jrbjr
You had to be crazy to fly those bombing missions over Europe, with all the casualties. And you could be medically excused if you were crazy. But if you asked to be medically excused, then you were obviously not crazy. That’s some catch, that Catch-22....

re: Any Update on Campbell? - jrbjr
I don’t think it’s the flu. If so, he would’ve been isolated from the rest of the team much earlier. Now, people often just call it the “flu” when it’s a cold or other virus. I’m hoping it was just an intestinal bug that gave him diarrhea and dehydrated him. I pray for his sake that it wasn’t a sei...

re: If we had a 12 team playoff in 2018, LSU would have played Ohio State in Columbus. - jrbjr
I think a team that starts slow and cones together later in the season is good for them but not championship material in my opinion. I think a championship caliber team plays well from start to finish. Every game is important....

re: For people who actually saw and remember both. Badger or Casanova? - jrbjr
I was a pre-teen whenCassanova played. Saw a couple games in-person and a couple on TV. Saw all of Mathieu’s games either live or on TV. And different eras, so I think you need to grade on a curve, so to speak. Cassnove split time at CB and TB as a Soph. Great on both sides of the ball. Took away t...

I don’t think they are dumb because they are authentic. They evolved within the locker room. Maybe 7 was a copycat of 18 but they’re authentic....

re: Highlights of 2000 Mississippi St vs LSU overtime game - jrbjr
I was there and it was a great game. One significant play that wasn’t shown was the kickoff return after MSU went up 31-17. We fumbled and several maroon jerseys jumped on it. We had a great special team player (#49 Ryan ????) who dove into the pile and somehow came out with the ball. He was as quot...

You can download data for sectors, specific products and services, regions, and several major cities, and going back several years....

re: LSU Football In 1969. Why Did We Not Play For The NC? - jrbjr
My recollection is that we thought we were going to the Cotton Bowl to play UT. So did everyone else, so all of the major bowls lined up other matches. Secretly, the Cotton Bowl had been negotiating with ND. I’m not sure which party contacted the other to start it, but I think ND contacted the Cot...
