What are some well known bands or artists that you can’t take seriously or judge people, rightfully in you eyes, for liking them.

No Vanderbilt? I'm aware that it's early, but what's up with them this year?

Worst thing about the ‘90s (most of it) was no BCS or playoff system. You had split titles in 1990, 1991, 1997, and essentially 1994 too.
Certainly a fair point. You can even throw 1993 in the mix too.
FSU 12-1 finishes #1 despite losing at Notre Dame.
Notre Dame finishes #2 despite beating FSU and losing to a top 12 Boston College team.
Head to head didn’t really matter.
re: Is the high cost to play hockey the reason it isn't as popular?

Hockey and soccer really are somewhat similar. Obviously, hockey is faster and the rink is smaller, but the buildup is quite the same.
I’m no soccer guy, but I was able to attend a game when overseas. I had seats in their “nosebleed” equivalent which, frankly, really helped me enjoy or appreciate it. There’s a lot more to it than just kicking the ball around…there’s lots of build up and strategy behind it and you can tell teams have different strategies or styles. Soccer takes a lot of patience to enjoy.

Which do your prefer: Classic Diner or Jewish Deli
Posted by GentleJackJones on 2/22/26 at 1:03 pm
Both are fairly similar in atmosphere, menu and whatnot. Which do you prefer?

Grand Hotel in Fairhope? Maybe too beachy though.

Same. Nothing objectionable about them. It’s like LSU when we wear our gold jerseys and obvious purple hat … you know who it is.
Fall New England trip (VT, NH, or Maine)
Posted by GentleJackJones on 2/21/26 at 9:45 am
We’re looking to do do an October New England trip with kids. We’ve been to Maine before (Acadia, Portland, Camden) and loved it. I’m open to going back, but I am also interested in Vermont or New Hampshire.
Any recommendations? Depending on where we went, I suppose we’d fly into Boston, Portland, or maybe Burlington?
Looking for scenic towns to stay of any size…good outdoors…good food, shops, breweries, quaint towns, sight seeing, taking it easy, etc.
Basically, looking for an equivalent of Highlands or Cashiers type town … perhaps with mountains or abutting a river, ocean or lake?
Any help would be appreciated.

Reggie Robinson (LSU WR) was playing basketball at Fair Park with Stromile right?

If you cause disturbances like this and are escorted off - including the “that person is not real” chick - your ID and Passport should be flagged and you should permanently lose all domestic flying privileges. That’s not. One and done rule.
Live in Baton Rouge, but you need to get to Seattle? Gas up. Take a bus or train. That, or drive to Mexico or a Canada and fly out of there. Want to take a trip to Europe? Same. Take a boat or drive to Canada or Mexico and fly out of there. You’re banned from all flights in the US.

Reading between the lines, if Vandy is out for political reasons I think Emory would be a run away screaming no. At least that would probably be true for the Atlanta campus; Oxford campus may not be as progressive.
College campuses are liberal??? Shocker!!! Let's run away from something because we're afraid of liberal and progressives roaming around ... and I say that, in obvious jest, as a Republican/Conservative...
Maybe take a look at Liberty or College of the Ozarks (i.e., "Hard Work U"). Or perhaps Baylor is what you're looking for.

What do you have against Vanderbilt? Frankly, the odds of your daughter getting in were slim anyways. Their acceptance rate is like at 5%. Alternatively, Belmont's is at 95% :lol:
How long do you keep ashes on forehead?

After receiving your ashes on Ash Wednesday, how long do you keep them on your forehead? Do you brush them off when you hop back into the car? Wear them all day?

Other than their greens, Notre Dame may have the worst "alternates" ever.

What a loon…I never respect adults that exhibit a total lack of control or self-awareness.
Knight was a loon … the rape remarks and the bull whip … what a loser.
