Ruston only has around 1250 students. They are one of the smaller 5A schools in the state. For context, Denham Springs has over 1000 more students than Ruston. Not trying to take any shots at Denham Springs, just pointing out the difference in school size.

I agree that Coach Baugh is a very good coach. They certainly have things rolling in Ruston at the moment. This years football team may be the most talented team they’ve had in his time as head coach.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see teams from Texas to start coming after him.


Look at the difference between Ruston's enrollment and a school in Division 3 or Division 4. That's what I meant when I said there are a lot of kids to pick an choose from.

I care little one way or another about LSU. Only when we play. But I did go to school with students from Louisiana. I think there is something polluted in their potable/domestic water source.

They are the most downstream of the largest river in this country. They are exposed to everyone’s gray water effluent. It’s like they all have a touch of Huey Long in them. Just living in swampy lowlands downstream of everyone’s shite can’t be a good thing.

But hey, it’s a theory.


Considering Huey Long didn't grow up in a swamp or near a river that was downstream of the Mississippi watershed, it's a pretty shite theory.

That's what happens when you put a very good former Texas high school football coach in a place, like Ruston, where there are a lot of kids to pick and choose from.

So you're saying I should keep my 2020 Tundra 5.7 with only 32k miles a little longer? Ok, will do.


You're in the best truck made in the last 10 years. The MPG may suck, but it will last you forever.

My explanation is from an idiots point of view. I didn’t make the claim but only repeated what I’ve seen from these guys. And what you said lines up with what they said. And what they said is their “theory” as to what “should” remedy the issue. The point of my post is to call BS on the “machining debris” lie. Because that’s what it is. Toyota is trying to cover their asses. They claim the engines that were failing from “machine debris” were all coming from the same shop when that was a lie. It’s a design flaw. They also claim that the tolerances were too tight and that’s also a lie because the tolerances of the 5.7 V8 were much tighter than the 3.5, again im regurgitating what I’ve seen from truck guys who know more than me. And they showed the spec sheets with the tolerances of both engines.

For what it’s worth I have only driven Toyota in my lifetime and it’s extremely disappointing to me that they are still trying to pass the “machining debris” lie off.


You're right on the money. It was a shitty design and bad choice of main bearing material.
I can't watch a game with Tessitore announcing it.
Orla!!!!

Nah, it would either be Kerrville or Boerne.

It has almost been 2 years since my dad passed away. I had lost a brother as well. It's all tough. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Only if you come back claiming "asylum" rather than swimming across the Rio Grande and digging under a fence. And use your real name. Both coming and going.


Yeah, if it's illegal, coming or going, they're not registering on the ticker. If they're leaving, most of them are going to take the path of least resistance. Swimming across the Rio Grande and dealing with that part of the country afoot isn't high on the list of options for those leaving.

Are the numbers real and verifiable or estimated?


Any time you leave the country, you have to present your papers to Customs and Border Patrol. What they're counting on the other side of that is anybody's guess.

Can it be verified? Absolutely! They know if you have left. They know if you are still gone. They know if you have come back.
