It's brutal down here.

People who have lived here their entire life will romanticize it, but the people are less friendly if you don't fit the mold, they are cliquish, gossipy. There is poverty everywhere, even in the places you wouldn't expect it. You actually run into folks who don't know how to read, or they can't think about anything other than exactly what you tell them.

These things exist everywhere, but they are in abundance down here.


He is asking about the entire south, not just Louisiana. :lol:

Consolidate conferences, down to a total of 8

Conference champions only in the playoffs


I think this is a terrible idea. So it wont be the 8 best teams vying for the championship, but the 8 conference champs, even if the three best teams play in the same conference? No, no, no!!!

so why not have a football team for them is all I asked


Their is no Marine Academy. The go to the Naval Academy. Gotta have a school to have a college team.
I don't remember how LSU fans acted when Saban left for the Dolphins, but I know how they reacted when he went to LSU's "rival", Alabama, and it wasn't pretty.

and a better win, and a less bad loss, than almost all the other one loss teams. (Not including BYU).


You have a better win than UGA over Ole Miss? Who?

You have a better loss than UGA to Bama? Really? You lost to #13, UGA lost to #9.

Some of us tried to warn you a couple of weeks ago what would happen if we actually did get a good coach.


The same people that tried to convince us that BK was a home run hire?

You must’ve been in a coma last year with all the Gumps pleading


Were you in a coma, also? Did you miss South Carolina and Ole Miss pleading, along with every other school that had a chance to make the playoffs?

It's what schools and fans do. I don't think Bama should have been in last year. Not sur they belong in this year (I was at the FSU debacle). Watched them struggle with mediocre teams in SC and auburn (although I'll take any win in JHS).

But yes, bring back McCarthyism


You do know that the Vernona Project showed that McCarthy was right, don't you?

Wonder why they don't teach that in school?
Bama should not have lost to FSU. Then they would be in, win or lose. No one to blame but ourselves.

Deboer wont beat UGA twice


He already has.

Do yo mean twice in one season? If so, even the GOAT never accomplished that.

He gave you 6 years.


o/u six years at LSU, I say under

Blue Blood is the dumbest shite ever


IMO Blue Bloods are teams that were good long ago, but not necessarily teams that are still good today.

I would say OSU and Bama (amongst others) are certainly blue bloods and are still great programs today.
quote:

I wouldn’t trade our last four seasons for Alabama’s last four seasons.


How about the last 10, 15, 20, 25, ...
It seems like when I was a youngster (60s and 70s) players made FTs at a much higher percentage. I remember many players making over 85% of their FTs. The big men (centers and power forwards) were the worst, usually upper 70s to lower 80s percentage wise. Guards FT percentages were usually in the upper 80s and above.

Or it could be a version of the Mandela Effect.
quote:

Make NC game > SEC champions

SEC champions > NC runner up


One of us is confused.

First you said that making the NC game is better than winning the SEC.
Then you said that winning the SEC is better than losing the NC game.

In order to lose in the NC game you have to be in the NC game (which would make it better than winning the SEC), but if you lose the game then winning the SEC is better (which contradicts your first statement).

Wait until we actually hire a good coach


I'm 65, do you think it will happen in my lifetime?
Posted this in the other thread, I'll post it here too.

Several years ago my brother (retired USAF) were in a bar. This gut in a Ranger hat passed by. He was looking at by brother pretty hard. When he came back by he asked if he had met my brother before. My brother replied that it was possible that he had given the Ranger a ride before.

They talked a few minute and he moved on. After he left my brother said "I love Ranger's. They're my second favorite people guarding my plane because I know if my plane is damaged all the Rangers are dead."

I asked who was his favorite?

He said "Marines, because if I get back and all the Marines are dead my plane is still undamaged!!"
