"Show Up" for the events that are important to others in your life and "Seize the Opportunity" when the event presents itself.

Say "I love you" often.

Live at or below your means.

I was held over at UF working.
My gf picked the movie. I hated it. She made me sit through it.

I grew to love it.

A Christmas Story Question

Did anyone else see this movie at the theater when it came out?

I've never encountered anyone else.
As soon as bama opens up he's gone from wherever he is. Deboar is has maybe three more years before being fired or pushed out.

The writing is all over the wall
LSU is one of the most unique brands in all of sports.

I think the state is the most historical, culturally rich and interesting.

You've got to address the campus decay.
Gainesville sucks too. Agreed.

My point is that LSU alums have already addressed the issue.
Yes, this subject needs a dedicated thread.

In response to all the posters defending Baton Rouge and the campus as a selling point, I direct you to an 8 pg thread on The OT that directly speaks to how embarrassed LSU alums are of the current state of the campus and how ghetto and seemingly dangerous it has become. Countless alums won't allow their kids to attend LSU.

Is LSU really as ghetto as it seems in videos?

Dan Mullen's record as an SEC head coach is 54-53. He, Mark Stoops and James Franklin are the most overrated SEC HC's of the past 50 yrs.
Not for a guy that only wore the colors one year.

To be fair, I graduated a top tier high school in 1995 and had to be re-taught in English 101 how to write a paragraph. I got a 20 on my first paper with a note from the grad assistant saying she was 'being nice'.



Public schools everywhere have been shite for 40-plus years.
Having said that, public school students who want to learn do so.

i was raised (along with all my siblings) in public schools. However, I transferred to a small Christian high school for the 11th and 12th grades.
The difference was black and white in terms of academic accountability. The difference was life-changing for me. So much so that I vowed to only send my kids to a small Christian school.

The result was incredible. I have one son who is a commercial pilot who scored a 48 on the Wonderlic and another who finished his MBA (finance) in 1/3 time. He interviewed with five companies and got four offers.

The key to educating the young is accountability and the ability to focus on academics. This only occurs if social issues and distractions are eliminated.

True story

My folks are 16th cousins twice removed by marriage

I have a big Family


Not even possible. They'd have a 300 yr age difference.

What most people think is a 2nd cousin is a first cousin once removed and 3rd is actually a first cousin twice removed
