Indiana is Killing Bama in More Ways Than One

Posted by Missouri Waltz on 1/1/26 at 5:59 pm

The fat lady is clearing her throat in Pasadena. Indiana has this one in the bag.

So does this mean that DeBoer is at Bama for the foreseeable future? I think so. No other major program will want him and Bama would have to pay a fortune to fire him. Plus if they did who could they get that is better?

Welcome back to pre-Saban mediocrity, Bama.

re: Considering converting to Catholicism in this new year. Any converts here with advice?

I have some news for you grasshopper. There has been more Protestant pastoral abuse that Catholic.

So why do we not hear about it? The answers are really simple: 1) Because it is a concerted effort to undermine the Catholic Church and concomitantly Western Civilization; 2) Protestant churches are irrelevant; and, 3) What would someone get if they sued? Brother Ray Bob's primer gray 1974 Camaro?

I feel you.

I was reared as a Southern Methodist. Even as a child the only thing about it that stirred me was the old Protestant hymns. So I just stopped going.

In my early 30s I started going to church with a friend and some other renegade Episcopalians who used the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and things like that. I also started reading and studying.

After about seven years of learning all I could I came to the conclusion that the Catholic Church is the only true religion so I started attending regularly and signed up for an RCIA class.

I understand the family dynamics. My grandmother was a staunch Southern Baptist. My parents were doing the only thing they knew. It is hard to do but you have to dismiss what your family says and does. Go where you are led.

I can honestly say that I have never met any Protestant who can tell you what they believe other than it is not Catholic. And every Protestant I have ever known who commented on the Catholic Church was wrong 100 percent of the time.

My advice to you would be to schedule a face to face meeting with a priest. He can answer some of your questions but to get a comprehensive understanding of Catholicism you need to attend an RCIA class.

I used to refer to myself as a convert but not anymore. I read something that was spot on. A Christian who leaves a Protestant church and joins a Catholic church is not a convert. A convert would be a Christian who became a Jew, Muslim, or some other non-Christian religion. Leaving a Protestant church for the Catholic Church is not a conversion. It is a completion.

Becoming a Catholic is the one thing I have done in my life that I know with absolute certainty was the right thing to do.

Please come home for the first time. And I will say a prayer for you.

Ole Miss Reels on Facebook

Posted by Missouri Waltz on 12/31/25 at 4:44 pm

Is anyone else being bombarded with Ole Miss reels on Facebook. It seems like every third or fourth one I receive is about Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl and most of them have two things in common.

First, the background music is Dixie. Of course the Ole Miss band stopped playing Dixie years ago but just like their love for Archie Manning they are living in the past and just cannot let go. I guess that is what you do when you have no future.

Second, the butt hurt over Kiffin is real. If Kiffin returns LSU to prominence and Ole Miss slides back into mediocrity as I expect then they will never ever get over it.

He bought it and let a board of directors run the place. They renamed it Fox Haven. He took it back over and it is again SCC.

You are correct. There was a pilot training school at the local puddle jumper airport.

After WWII the U.S. Government gave it to the City of Sikeston as a public facility. The city sold it to the Jaycees for $1.00 after being ordered to integrate. The Jaycees ran it into the ground to the point that it closed. A benevolent local citizen bought and reopened it. He is the one who is going to spruce the place up.

I grew up in Charleston.

Fox Haven Country Club became Sikeston Country Club again when the owner took over management. His plan is to demolish the building and replace it with something really nice.

re: Patton's Third Army relieved the 101st Airborne at Bastogne 81 years ago today...

Posted by Missouri Waltz on 12/26/25 at 8:44 pm to RollTide1987

Gen. Troy Middleton, later President of LSU, was the one who ordered the 101st Airborne Division to hold Bastogne at all costs. The decision arguably won the battle.
