Veteran attorney Tom Mars, who has represented multiple high-profile college coaches in employment disputes, sharply criticized LSU’s approach; “No school has ever won a ‘termination for cause’ lawsuit — even when they could allege grounds with a straight face,” Mars said via X (formerly Twitter). “Thus, it seems unlikely that LSU could set a new precedent when everyone in college sports is laughing at them for taking a position that’s absolutely absurd.”

Just when we thought we could turn the page on the shenanigans. Rousse needs to get involved and bring in some competent adults to nip this in the bud.
Two of the peaks we summited on a 12-day backpacking trek at Philmont Scout Ranch (NM).

Sunrises on mountains in God's country are something special.

John Carmouche: destroyer of the Louisiana oil and gas industry, LSU board of supervisors.

Yep. Carmouche and his plaintiff lawyer buddies in Gumbo PAC helped John Bel get into office and then helped get Landry in over business friendly candidates like Waguespack.

Lo and behold he lands on LSU BoS and chairs the athletic committee, taking marching orders from the gov.

From his very brief BoS Bio (Bold font in original):

quote:

John H. Carmouche is the senior partner with the law firm of Talbot, Carmouche & Marcello. He has collected over 20 multi-million settlements on behalf of victims of corporate negligence. As the lead trial attorney, his fight against global oil companies to restore the coast of Louisiana has put Talbot, Carmouche & Marcello as one of the top plaintiffs' law firms in Louisiana.

John Carmouche is a native of Napoleonville, Louisiana, a husband, and a father of four children.John Carmouche has 29 years of civil trial experience and specializes in fighting corporations in discovery and trial. He recently obtained a $52,000,000 jury verdict against Shell Oil Company for polluting the soil and drinking water of property located in Cameron Parish.


The $745 million verdict against Chevron in Plaquemines didn't make his highlight reel, perhaps because it's on appeal.

I was mugged at gun point 20 years ago near LSU by a 15, 16, and 17 year old. Some things never change.

I was living in Kirby Smith in 1982 and my roommate got robbed at gunpoint near the greek theater by one of the usual suspects. Yes things haven’t changed.

Brother was robbed at gunpoint in his Hatcher dorm room in 1986. Guy asked if he could use the phone and he obliged. Out comes the gun, gone goes the wallet, license, student ID and sense of security.

Quite different from 2019. This was just after midnight, after the LSU-Florida game.

62 is good.

Indeed.

quote:

After that 1949 game, LSU would not lose to Tulane again until 1972. That streak included two ties, but also saw the Tigers beat the Green Wave by an identical score of 62-0 on three different occasions.

Great book that explains the creed, line by line.

Sturgill is tonite and tomorrow night but those shows sold out instantly

Got picked for the Axs purchase lottery and had tix for tonight but couldn't make it work schedule wise. We're aiming to see a show next year. Resale tix are currently near face for today's show ($88).

We hiked all over the venue and overheard Tedeschi Trucks soundcheck in 2022 but had to fly out that night. Can't wait to see an actual show.

Only fans worse are Eagles fans. Luckily the 300lb loudmouth SF fan in front of us realized she was in the wrong section and moved on. SF dude who replaced her was only marginally more tolerable. Two to one niner fans in our section.
Google AI sez:

"OwO" is not a true acronym but an emoticon representing a face with wide eyes (the two Os) and a mouth (the W), used to express surprise, excitement, curiosity, or affection in online conversations and roleplay, particularly within the furry fandom. The letters "O" signify the wide, open eyes and "w" signifies a cute, cutesy, anime-styled mouth

Having grown up in the 80s I am convinced that we've reached an inflection point and the net impact of the internet on society has flipped from positive to negative.
