Young football players are not getting hyped up by the band my guy.


You say this but every week I watch Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, etc. and their bands play the whole game. Yes they do mix in piped in music but their bands play more and sound louder than ours.
This is the main reason the SEC has struggled in the playoffs so much recently. In the portal era you just don’t have the depth that you used to have.

Add to that the top 3-4 teams in the big ten have been comparable to the SEC in recent years but once you get past that the SEC has way more depth. That makes the conference schedule such a grind and there are going to be injuries. By the time you get to the playoffs you have multiple 2nd and 3rd stringers starting while the Big Ten teams were able to sit their starters in the 4th quarter for half their games. Then on top of that your idiot commissioner decided to add another conference game to the schedule.
Harrington hasn’t done much in movies but I think he’s been great on Industry on HBO.

This isn’t just a Romo problem. It’s the majority of American announcers. They feel like they have to fill every space of dead air by just talking. They need to watch English soccer announcers. They are great at just letting things play out instead of trying to talk over everything.

The atmosphere and cocktails are great in the little side bar. Restaurant atmosphere is great too but the food is just ok.

Big fan of their chicken fried steak special. Obviously gumbo is really solid for restaurant gumbo.

I just don’t get why so many people knock BR food. If you compare it to the rest of the country I’d argue it’s an underrated food city. The problem is it gets compared to one of the greatest food cities in the world 90 miles away.
All of those artists listed are on the backend of their popularity so that could also be a factor
What’s crazy to think about is this will be 3 out of 5 years with JJ that we don’t host a regional which to me is the bare minimum requirement of an LSU baseball coach. That should happen every year. Now obviously winning two titles in that span gives him some leeway. What a rollercoaster since he’s been here.

He’s actually not. He tries to frame too much and tries to bring every pitch back to the middle of the plate and it screws up the umpire on pitches on the corners. It’s too exaggerated
Up is always a better look to me unless you have a very specific modern style home

Poboys. I don't know if Pop's Poboys in Lafayette is profitable or not, but they kick arse.


I feel like they have to be since they’ve been around for 10+ years now. I’ve always thought a Pops would do well in BR.

Piling the dredged material onto the bird sanctuary area was a mistake. The cost to dispose of it was likely higher than thought.


This was a terrible decision along with all the little islands. That area of the lake is so narrow now and it looks bad. Typical they took the cheap route and it’s ruined the lake.
In my opinion the best pasta dishes in BR.

Not a fan of the location and atmosphere.

I don’t know a single person who watches Industry. Is it any good?


I was starting to fade on it after S2 but S3 was really good

Winning the SEC doesn't mean anything now? We're getting to a point where LITERALLY anything but hoisting the natty means you had a shite season. I hate it, man. Winning the SEC is still a big fricking deal and I wish the system was set up to reward that more.


I get what you are saying but this is the negative of moving to a 12 team playoff and why I personally am against it. It diminishes the regular season/conf. champ. game I don’t care what anyone says. The greatness of college football was not only watching your team win but it was also watching your rival lose a game and it completely destroy their season. Now Alabama has 3 losses and still might have a chance to win a national championship. That’s dumb.
To be fair while an agent can report the claim the claims department is going to need a statement from the insured for the claim. So it’s just a quicker process for the insured to report and give the statement all at once.

Now if you have issues with the claim that’s where an agent can step in and try to solve the problem.

Can somebody explain this to a non-native?


Years ago LA politicians were so corrupt and basically stealing money from city services that they decided to form dedicated taxing districts to stop this from happening. City services like the Library, Council on Aging, CATS, Mosquito. Abatement, BREC(maybe some others I’m missing) would now get specific tax renewals every year and the money could not be used for anything else but those specific services.

Fast forward to now and these entities are so flush with funds they have more money than they know what to do with. A couple(Library & Mosquito Abatement) actually provide good services to citizens and use the money well. Others (COA, BREC, & CATS)are rife with the same corruption those tax districts were created to avoid.

They do it every where. It’s part of the CFB environment now. This isn’t the 90s anymore grandpa


This is false. I watch SEC games every weekend and I’m amazed at how much the bands for Georgia or Alabama or Tennessee play compared to ours and how much louder they are than ours. Yes every stadium has some piped in music but we have gotten out of control with it and removed one of the things that makes college football great: the bands.
You have to put in Curne in at one of the tackle positions. You have to do it.
