My beef with the Catholic church is the fact that you have to be a confirmed Catholic and have an up-to-date confession in order to receive communion. Other churches don't care who you are, they allow you to receive communion. That, and they want you to attend a year's worth of catechism classes - IN PERSON - in order to be confirmed. Like, can't I do this online?

"The Secrets we Bury" is a documentary currently airing on HBO Max. It's about a man go goes missing in Long Island, NY in 1963 and chronicles his family's attempts to discover what really happened to him.

I felt like the doc was very well done, and there were a lot of twists and turns. I also felt like the main character - Mike, is very relatable. His childhood growing up in Long Island in the 60's and 70's is very similar to growing up here. If he lived in Louisiana, he'd 100% be a regular Tigerdroppings poster.

I recommend going into the doc cold, but if you don't care, spoilers will be in the posts below.

Nearly 1/3 of Houston’s 32 first downs were due to stupid LSU penalties.

Young people today thinks listening to the game on the radio was some great hardship. It was actually awesome. LSU's radio guys were pretty good. Caught the game on WWL, 100.7 (the old LSU tiger radio), 98.1 the Eagle, and even o 96.9 KZMZ in Alexandria. Point is, several radio stations across the state carried it, so you could hear it at the deer camp, at home, or out on the road.
Many fond memories sitting around a campfire with the men and listening to the game.

Remember when he first got into the NFL and donated a million dollars to the university so LSU could improve the facilities?
Bro bleeds Purple and Gold.
Maybe not coaching, but I'd want him around the program in some capacity like a recruiting analyst or brand ambassador, or something similar.

Ferrari finished #4 getting two cars in the points almost every race. Red Bull finished #3 with only Max getting points in every race.

McLaren finished #1, and deservedly so. Their cars were top shelf. Got Lando the championship. Could any driver have won in those cars?

Mercedes finished #2. George Russel is terribly underrated, but has his flaws. Kimi is awesome. The team is solid German engineering. No complaints.

Red Bull is all Max. Car #2 is invisible. I really don't understand how Max can be in the hunt every race, and Car #2 - no matter the driver - struggles to find points.

Then there's Ferrari. Poor Lewis had to have major culture shock being an Englishman, having recently been with Germans and moving to an Italian team. Charles LeClerc gets it by now, and has learned to deal with them. But it's a totally different way of thinking at Ferrari. They need a Spanish or Italian driver to truly understand the way they do things.

Lafayette is where you go if you want to watch a pathetic class of elites waste every single dime you pump into the system.

This right here. I've spent some time with New Orleans "elites." They're old-school, blue blood, they've got theirs and there's plenty to go around.
I've spent some time with BR "elites". A bunch of drunks who feel like they can do anything with impunity. The law doesn't apply to them.
Lafayette "elites"are truly pathetic in comparison. They think they're top tier, but they wouldn't sniff BR or NOLA's jockstrap. Their focus is on their family and friends making the money. Their flex is getting your garbage picked up twice a week, or making sure to put in a good word at that private school. They're small time.

Lafayette's NIMBY game has been historically strong
The city's roads are laid out according to the vermillion "river" and there's like 3 bridges in the city because nobody wants on in their backyard.

Almost all neighborhoods are cul-de-sacs leaving no connecting options.

They heard I-49 was going to be built so the insiders bought up all the property and have held it hostage for decades.

The exits off of I-10 have not been updated since the 1960's, but the traffic has increased 100000X

State highways - 90, Johnson, and others criss cross the city. The city has a "it's not my problem/funding, it's the state's problem" attitude towards these roads.

Somebody's brother in law runs the red light synchronization program. But if that wasn't bad enough, because of the city/state issue - redlights cannot be syncronized properly due to differing laws.

Country people flood the town to shop, and they get nervous or have zero idea how to just drive predictably and be traffic. Of course they all have F-350s, and they inevitably find the Nissan Sentra driver and run over their rear.

In Baton Rouge, I-10, I-12, Airline, Essen, Perkins, all jam up and it's a nighmare. But in Lafayette, you're not neccessarily sitting there, you're dealing with crazy shite.

Daily Mail isn’t a reputable news source. It’s basically Weekly World News without the Bat Boy update or chupacabra sightings

Asking whether it's "worth it" is the wrong question entirely.
The real question is, are you up for it? Are you ready to change your life to be a good parent?
