re: Frisco, TX track meet stabbing: 1 student killed, another charged with murder

Posted by shaqtastic89 on 4/3/25 at 11:40 am to The Torch

I live in the area and I'm just so stunned. I keep seeing on local news threads that Austin broke his phone? And, you are at a track meet. Why the hell do you have a knife with you? This seems premeditated and more to the story. Which being premeditated makes it far worse to me.

I’m so over Oklahoma always getting such easy scoring. How did they keep getting 9.9s on Vault when they all took a step?! It could have gotten real interesting had that UCLA girl not had a screw up on bars and they didn’t just hand 9.9s out like fricking candy to OU.

Random question, but Poole came from Ohio State right? Wouldn’t Poole already have some experience playing against her?

To the Students

Posted by shaqtastic89 on 11/6/22 at 7:45 pm

I just wanna say how happy I am that the students got to experience a game like this, especially the juniors. They came in Covid year and last year was a dumpster fire too. I was a student from 07-11, and have some great games watching as a student that I’ll remember forever and are some of my fondest memories. Cheers to more epic games under Kelly for all future students!

re: The obesity epidemic

Posted by shaqtastic89 on 6/8/22 at 9:56 am to Alt26

What really makes me sad about the obesity epidemic is how you see more and more kids overweight like its completely normal/acceptable. I'm not even that old (early 30s) and growing up there was maybe a fat kid or two in class. Now, I feel like there's almost more fat kids in class vs skinny kids. These kids are already being setup to fail and be fat their whole lives. If you grow up being big, thats an even bigger uphill battle to climb once you get older to overcome. This obesity epidemic is only going to get worse in the next few years. Sad.

Mask Mandate on Airplanes

Mask mandate is set to expire next Monday on public transportation. What do we think the odds are that it actually expires and doesn’t get renewed?

When I had Covid in January, I was given Ivermectin by the doctor I saw and a few other things. My main symptoms were just losing taste and smell, but I did feel like I bounced back rather quickly minus my smell and taste taking weeks to come back.

The doctor I saw for the televisit was telling me that at the time he had been doing Ivermectin for a while and was seeing great results. He said that out of all the patients he saw through January at the time, he only lost 3 patients, and of those 3 they had multiple comorbidities or they did not actually follow his instructions (taking the Vitamin D, ivermectin, etc).

Its a shame they aren't promoting it more.

Air Travel with 2 Year Old Recently

I am a lurker around Tiger Droppings, and never feel I need to post, but curious if anyone has traveled with a young toddler and your experience with how strict flight attendants have been keeping a mask on your toddler?

Can we have this conversation next Saturday after we (hopefully) beat Ole Miss?

There isn't enough drugs or alcohol out there for me to believe he can turn this around.

So depressing we can't even get even half of that kind of response from our football coach.

An LSU team that looks to seek revenge.

And for the love of God, the penalties have to be under control.

Or if we fired Miles at the end of last season instead of barely mid season, is O even considered an option? Since he wouldn't have had a chance to be our interim?

re: Current and former LSU students: Best/most memorable games you've seen in student section?

Posted by shaqtastic89 on 9/19/17 at 2:56 pm to lowhound

2007 - Virginia Tech ( Don't know how you don't rate that one up there. It was my first home game as a student, with an 8 pm kick off, saw Shaq trying to park his Superman bus on my way into the stadium, and just knew it was going to be amazing. We kicked Virginia Tech's arse and that was great. It was a good tone to the '07 season).

Obvious 07 Ones are also Florida and Auburn.

2010- Bama (Only because its the last time we have beaten them at home)

2011- Florida ( Beating the crap out of them at home by that much is just something you can never appreciate enough)

I'm definitely a half melted ice cube right now.

I melted quicker than a popsicle on the 4th of July Saturday night, but have since come back to reality.

As a true fan, you have to hope for the best. I'll reserve any more negativity until I see how we play on the road against Florida. If we come out looking like we did on Saturday in Gainesville, then the wheels are off and the dumpster fire has now become a nuclear explosion.

Honestly I believe its more of the dumpster fire of the logistics that is getting/leaving LSU for a game.

It pains me to see the stadium file out so early half the time, but if its people trying to get home you know before 3 am, then I can't say as I blame them entirely.

But like many people have said, winning does cure a lot of things. People will pay the price of season tickets and expensive concessions and even deal with the paying to park if they have a championship type team to watch that is playing for something. When the dumpster fire starts to get lit, (Which is whats happening now), its going to get ugly quick.
