re: What's the worst state out of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama?

They all suck from a superficial perspective :lol:
Alabama looking a lot better than the other two these days
But boy what a tough region..
Think it's close enough that the tie break is just wherever your friends & family are

Haynesville has higher break evens, in general, but the wells are gigantic. That makes it the most price-sensitive source of gas. When gas hits $4, you'll see the Haynesville start moving. Otherwise it's fairly measured growth.

The major tragedy of it all IMO is that back the 90s / early 2000s, there would be a distinct regional or local flavor to teams. All gone now. Soccer for instance, in Houston, you'd have small/mid size local clubs representing areas like the inner city, Woodlands, Kingwood/Humble/Atascocita, Klein, Cy Fair, Katy, West U, Sugar Land, etc. Each would field a few teams for each age group and the top team would be highly competitive.
Some of these local / regional clubs would gather all the best players largely from a few large high schools. So everyone would know each other, grew up with each other, etc. Was fun. Get to know the competitors as well as you see them in the high school circuit. Now you have these mega clubs with 10 teams for each age group, each team representing 10 different parts of the city / schools
Now you have five mega clubs with facilities all over the city, grabbing kids from all over the city. Sucks. Many time the top level team doesn't allow you to play high school soccer.

re: Private schools parents: What do you pay for tuition?
Posted by Texas Tea 123 on 4/10/26 at 3:10 pm to Free888
Generally speaking in Houston you’re at least $25,000/yr for a good one. There are several that are more expensive in which you’re essentially paying to be in a club; they also require a donation (this is true for at least one — Kincaid)
Or you buy a $1.25mm+ house zoned for Memorial or Stratford. Or you go to a good suburb — Woodlands, Kingwood, Bridgeland, Katy’ish, etc)

re: Over 62,000 students applied to LSU this school year.

I am not singling out a demographic. If they are Americans they have as much right as I do to that spot. But as a tax paying Texan I am pissed if my kid doesn’t get in and a Chinese citizen does. Currently more than 10% of UT are foreigners
The UT student body is hardly recognizable anymore. In 5-10 years it's going to blow your mind. They need to quasi "privatize" in order to better control admissions. I'll let the big money / big brains figure that one out!

Couple thoughts
1) University of Texas and Texas A&M are becoming near impossible to get into for "normal Texas kids", largely due to Texas population growth. What used to be "top 10% auto into UT, top 20% A&M", has now turned into something like "top 4% into UT, top 6-8% into A&M". That top +/- 5% is reserved for i) truly truly talented kids and ii) kids with no lives outside of studying / parental pressure (yes, largely Asian demographic here)
2) Northerners coming south as all of the private liberal arts colleges are reaching tuition levels that are simply untenable given what jobs the students are getting (or put a better way, not getting) -- these folks head south to a variety of colleges; cheaper, better "college experience", same type of jobs available

Yeah but can't be reckless. Extreme example - contribute $5,000, buy $5,000 of XYZ stock, stock goes to $0, can't put money back in, so you "wasted" $5,000 of highly tax-advantaged dollars
re: Louisiana’s deepest oil & gas well is completed in St. Martin Parish
Posted by Texas Tea 123 on 4/1/26 at 9:18 am to Bussemer
Took them a little over a year to reach total depth. Have not completed the well yet so no production. This is the site of an old well that had downhole complications and was ultimately shut in - years going through insurance to recoup money; got a lifeline from the billionaire Moncrief family to drill this new one, easily over $100mm and likely over $200mm, approaching $300mm, when it's all said and done.
Publicly traded (highly illiquid) GULTU owns a 5% overriding royalty interest in this well and other prospects. History of all this is very interesting if you have the time. Freeport / Jim Bob Moffett origins

--fantastic academic reputation
--opens many doors in Houston post grad, though same doors if not more can be opened by good grades and connections from UT, A&M, SMU, etc
--kind of a weird student body excluding athletes (nerdy, very Asian, etc)
--nice campus near the medical center / Herman park / museum district
--expensive
--as close to an Ivy as it gets south of the Mason Dixon (still not that close given geography, history, etc, but relatively the closest)
