Me too! He checked out The Art of War. He's so cerebral.

Thanks squerty!

Mandy Patinkin: Benjamin Franklin


I couldn't figure out this voice! Of course Inigo Montoya plays Ben Franklin. :lol:
After three episodes I have an opinion that the Loyalists may have been the sane ones and that the ones shouting "Liberty!" and "Freedom!" were greedy opportunists.
I've never held that view before. Is Ken Burns making me a commie?

Today I leaned Auburn isn’t in the SEC

Like he got any sort of blueprint for success at Auburn.
Yeah, let's hand the keys to a top tier SEC program to a kid who has never been around the SEC. And then tell him he gets to make all staff hires. :rolleyes:
The system is set up now that you have to play travel ball to even sniff most high school teams. It sucks but that’s the way it is now.

That said, if your kid isn’t athletic you should absolutely not force sports on him. It will do more to destroy his confidence than any benefit gained. Kids compare themselves to others.
The sex scenes were gratuitous and unnecessary. That's Netflix following the attention getting formula. Throw in a sex scene whenever there's a lull, or a need to grab attention. It's a cheap trick.
The rest of the show is phenomenal. I'd say it should be shown in every American History class when covering that period., but , you know, they'd need to make an educational edit.

I’m going to let this breathe and watch one per night like he intended.


I agree. The episodes are dense with information and it's a lot to absorb even in 2 hour increments. My wife was like, "Why are these two hours long? History class at LSU was only an hour and fifteen." :lol:

As a matter of fact, women played a large part in the Tevolution in various ways. So did free Africans.


Some people here will dismiss the whole doc as being woke and refuse to watch. These guys believe in the great man of history theories where great men did everything. And if you try to give anyone else credit for what went on, they feel like you are trying to diminish a great man.

History is a product of the environment. Ken Burns is doing a fantastic job of painting the picture of what was going on in America. This wasnt' just the great men, but everybody. The slaves, the women, the rabble in Boston, the people of England, everybody.

I find the doc inspiring as to how everyone at the time was a part of this movement in one way or another. I guess the most surprising part so far for me, was how much shite Sam Adams talked. He basically got everyone fired up with his pamphlets.
He needs to find the TEs and get the timing right on the WR routes. Not sure how much can be established if Nuss will be back for senior night.

Great game to bring the kids. Cheaper tickets, early kick, easier parking and less traffic, fewer drunks.

Can we score 25 points on Arkansas?

Our offense through 9 games:
Clemson: 17
LA Tech: 23
Florida: 20
Southeastern: 56
Ole Miss: 19
SCAR: 20
Vandy: 24
Aggies: 25
Bama: 9

Offense vs P4: 134pts/7games= 19ppg.

LSU's Scoring Offense is ranked 108th in the country.
Arkansas's Defense is ranked 129th in ypg. and 127th in scoring defense.
We're looking at a battle between a stoppable force and a movable object.

re: Saturday Lunch in Lafayette

Posted by BitBuster on 11/9/25 at 7:24 pm to
Lets see: Lafayette for lunch on Saturday for 6-8 people.

Food must be decent, atmostphere must be decent, not too expensive. Not Don's or Prejeans. Not a po-boy shop.

In no particular order:
Riverside Inn
Bon Temps on Pinhook
Fezzos in Youngsville
Chimes
Zea
Romacelli
More Expensive:
Marcello's
Charley G's
Nhi Taste of Asia

Looking strongly at Rachel’s and Poor Boys Riverside Inn

If you're trying to pick between those two, Riverside Inn has a better atmosphere and is probably better set up for your group. The menu is straight out of the 1980s - for better or worse. :lol:
Acting - A
Cinematography - A+
Score - B
Pacing - F

The movie wants to be great, but it's a slog.
If you would have watched the replay you would have seen that Bama LB #41 executed a perfect "Peanut punch."

I don't think anyone could have held on to that ball.
Thanks for getting this song stuck in my head again a-hole

Wait til you see Project Hail Mary


And this board will be full of lovers of "The Martian" hating on it because of the alien. I enjoyed the book, but it caught a lot of flack because it leaned heavily onto the sci-fi part of space travel, and not as much on the nuts-and-bolts aspect they loved in "The Martian"

It'll be an interesting movie for sure.
As someone who did shift work at a casino, I’ve taken and passed 3 field sobriety tests and been sent on my way each time. “No sir, I’m not drunk, just tired” Being respectful and following directions works. They aren’t all out to get you.
