re: Newb question. Does either team care about the 3rd place match?
Posted by GentleJackJones on 7/15/26 at 6:39 pm to BOSCEAUX
I can’t muster up any energy in me whatsoever to even care. As an American, and this isn’t intended to sound douchey, I just can’t fathom competing for the equivalent of a bronze as an enticing spectacle to watch. It just doesn’t “happen” in the States. Could be a phenomenal game, but to me, it’s already a dud.

re: Spain vs Argentina Final

Head - Spain
Heart - Argentina - it’s tough to ignore what they pull out, when down, late. I don’t understand their tactic or style, but it works.

1997 Independence Bowl: LSU 27 Notre Dame 9
White helmet, gold jersey game.LSU and Rondell Mealey went off in the 2nd half and avenged a pretty big butt kicking by the Irish in Tiger Stadium just a little over a month prior. Great season that ended on a high note.
2000 Peach Bowl: LSU 28 Georgia Tech 14
Such an up and down year for LSU and Saban's first year.
We lose to a good Auburn team and a poor UAB team to follow it up and beat a really good Tennessee team. We're then blasted by Florida and then go beat a top 15 Mississippi State team and beat Alabama, at home, for what felt like the first time ever. We finally crack the top 25 only to have a letdown against an average-at-best Arkansas team in Little Rock. We all could see the momentum, enthusiasm, and upward trajectory despite setbacks throughout the year.
We go into Atlanta, play a really good GT team. We're down big in the first half and then just explode in the 4th quarter. LSU put up something like 20 points in the 4th quarter and we should all remember Josh Reed's incredible TD catch and 2-point conversion.
We finished the season ranked and with a ton of momentum and optimism heading into 2001, in which we won the SEC....

R’evolution’s death by gumbo

Not the greatest, but Michael Bishop (Kansas State) was also really good.
Rice substitute for gumbo
Posted by GentleJackJones on 7/12/26 at 9:27 pm
Blasphemous? Sure. Would I normally do it, never. But, I'm hoping into a gumbo contest in about six weeks and one of the categories is uniqueness. I'm kicking around the idea of using something other than rice. Doubtful, but have you ever used anything other than rice for your roux? I'm a big potato salad fan in my gumbo, but again, I still have rice that I pour over it. Mashed potatoes? Grits? Should I nix the idea all together?
Soccer fans help me out: Professional Leagues and Teams
Posted by GentleJackJones on 7/12/26 at 9:09 pm
I could be completely wrong in this, but...
1. As a general rule, is it fair to say that the English Premier League, top to bottom, is the "NFL" equivalent of professional soccer, aka cream of the crop?
2. If that understanding is true, why is that so? Money? Why is the EPL better than other European leagues?
3. Assuming, again, that the EPL is the best, why are other elite teams (Juventus, AC Milan, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayren Munich, Ajax, Inter Milan) perhaps lacking in notoriety? For instance, I can rarely, if ever, get their games on TV.
4. Following up, why are those other non-EPL leagues (not teams) not as notable as the EPL?

Posted by GentleJackJones on 7/12/26 at 5:37 pm to lionward2014
I hate it, but it happens in all sports. As much as I’m not into VAR, it can help eliminate it. Red card them? What if it isn’t a true fake/flop? It’s going to be a subjective standard. It, sadly, is just a part of soccer.

re: What do you think of Oxford, MS?
Posted by GentleJackJones on 6/30/26 at 4:45 pm to CatfishJohn
It’s a nice town…what Ruston should aspire to be, but will never come close to achieving it. I think I would get pretty bored after a few years there, however.
It’s a nice college town, but make no mistake, it’s no Boulder, Charlottesville, Chapel Hill, Athens.
Fayetteville, which is oddly never discussed, would be substantially more enticing to me than Oxford.

I never really care about losing players to Notre Dame.
Culturally, Notre Dame is so vastly different than the SEC schools and your other big-time programs (Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Oregon, etc). More times than not, the Notre Dame kids generally are a little more polished, reserved...perhaps less thuggish? They don't have a lot of Shemar Turners, Nick Fairleys, Ruben Foster, Dallas Turners ....
So, losing out to them, well, generally those recruits care more than just football. Losing out to other SEC schools, however....that's a whole different story. Except for Vanderbilt, we're all the same, just with different color helmets and jerseys.

We’re not losing that game.
I’m more confident that we’ll best Ole Miss than McNeese and Louisiana Tech.

Big Bend National Park
Posted by GentleJackJones on 6/23/26 at 11:33 am
-Is Big Bend worth the trip to check out?
-If so, what's the best way to get there? Fly to San Antonio and rent a car?
-What's the best time of year to go? I presume Spring or Fall.
-Are certain areas or parts of the park better than others? Any must sees or must dos?
-Is it camping or any cabins you'd recommend staying at?
-Any restaurants, bars/breweries, attractions that you'd recommend?
