I’d hope LSU retracts their offer. I happen to know someone well connected to the LSU athletic department who confirmed that this would likely happen should Ole Miss lose Friday

Ignore it? Because it's the most stupid nonsense I've ever read on this board? I will!

Sounds like cooks had a team in mind and the saints worked with him to try to make claiming him on waivers undesirable so he could get through
Saints should have known this was against the rules. Don't expect anything to come of it though, except maybe we'll be stuck with Cooks.
... and he tells me it's not Kiffin, it's Saban. Maybe he knows nothing but he said Saban has been there multiple times recently. That's all I got, no idea how "in" this guy is, but he definitely works there. Maybe Nick is just consulting and my guy is making assumptions, but figured I would pass it own. Closest I'll ever get to inside info.
Not buying this. No Gordon-level booster would be the actual attorney for a lawsuit like this. Gordon and his like employ dozens of peon lawyers to settle these cases for him and actually interact with the poors wanting their payoff. No way he hangs out with them sharing inside info.

One 'meh' episode isn't enough for me to bail. E 3 was still better than most of what passes as 'great!' TV.

I'm in it for the duration. Then we'll see.


This. First two episodes were bangers

The way she described it was the okra was almost dry by the time she was done. Just doesn't seem it would work this way.

Cooking okra in oven for gumbo

Posted by Handsome Pete on 11/17/25 at 2:55 pm
Was talking to a lady who claimed to make a great shrimp and okra gumbo. She said she cooked the okra in the oven first. I didn't have time to get details, but it sounded like she chopped the okra, put it in Magnalite with oil, then cooked it for 2-3:hours in oven until slime disappeared. I'm not familiar with this technique. Can anyone tell me exactly how to do this?

I'm reading this right now. Good but very different tone from what I recall of The Blacktongue Thief. Galva as the 1st person narrator is more formal so I'm having a harder time getting invested, and seems a slower pace. That said, I'm only 1/3 in and the action is just getting started.

It’s obvious which business model results in a better experience for the customer.
Is it? The BR Costco is like shopping through a traffic jam and the checkout is a madhouse of morons jockeying for position. At Sam's I don't have to interact with those minimum wage employees at all. I just enjoy the cheaper prices and much smoother shopping experience with Scan and Go.

You may scoff at Scan and Go, but it makes shopping at Sam's as easy as grabbing something at Circle K. In and out. I don't mind stopping at Sam’s for just milk, or just eggs, or whatever. Would never go to Costco like that.

Not who I’d expect but I wouldn’t be devastated by the pick.
Agree. He's got more potential than Frank Wilson at least.
I do not care for Simpson. He's going to measure 6'1" at best and is nothing special athletically. He's a good QB on a great team.

I'd love Arvell Reese. Bain seems undersized and his production has tailed off. Love Caleb Downs but hate to draft a safety in top 5. I don't know anything about Keldric Faulk.

If we end up in top 3 and Reese is gone, I'd try to trade down in top 10 for Downs or one of the WR Tate or Tyson. This assumes Shough is still playing well enough to give him another season at QB.

The 2027 draft could have QBs Dante Moore, Lanoris Sellars, Arch Manning, Julian Sayin, Drew Allar...
Wait till Ryan Grubb gets poached for a HC job, then get back to me.
