It's in the more refined, prettier state directly east of you.
Yes. He has good information and he puts on a good show. But what you have to realize is that, like any other talking head, he has his biases and lets them be known. You can pull the tape and prove him wrong on a lot of things. Two big ones recently were Scott Woodward and Brian Kelly, who he both propped up as great hires. When they both canned last October, Matt was squirming.
Matt loves that you posted this. Someone else posted it yesterday too. You're giving him free advertising and new followers. That was the point of Bama Is Burning.

Ole Miss fans have fallen for the same gambit. The school showed Matt in their troll video after the game this year. He's loving this.
What this is really about is building large, mixed to low income housing developments in affluent areas of Nola. That's the play. They thought this policy would lead to that, but it didn't, so it's being gutted.

Florida fans didn't know who Tom Petty was until he died. They had to put the lyrics on the jumbotron that season so they could sing along.

I always wanted to ask Mayorkas, you're letting in millions of immigrants overnight, but has anyone stopped to check if we have enough housing, schools, and hospitals for all these new people?

It's like a hotel checking in guests without keeping track of how many rooms are available. It's really irresponsible, among many other things.

You were always on my mind, you were always on my mind
No one is like Cam Newton. 6'5" 250 with a 6'9" wingspan and can run like a deer or throw a 60 yard dot. One of a kind.
Serious observation although it sounds like sarcasm: if white liberal men aren't safe at Ivy League Schools, where can they be safe?
Yep. Harvard transfer Andrew Hatch. Watched the game on TV then evacuated for Gustav. Not a fun weekend.
Yes if it's limited to taking Kharg Island, which they should have done back in the spring. It would have been an amphibious and aerial operation and there would be some U.S. casualties, but that's life in the military.

This whole thing would be over right now if they had done that.
Baton Rouge! Didn't expect to see that.
They absolutely hate you. Beyond that there are billions being spent on efforts to replace you.

I have colleagues who are smart people who are Democrats. They vote for their own extinction every election cycle. It's insanity.
Verne was a solid guy. Liked to drink. Liked pronouncing the Louisiana names like Drew Allemand and Chase Clement, putting the flourish on the last names. He was definitely rooting for Bama against LSU in the 2011 game of the century, when he famously yelled "Oh No!" when Eric Reid got the goal line interception for LSU.

Gary was technically sound but was way too in love with Nick Saban during his Alabama tenure. It was a lot like Dick Vitale's infatuation with Coach K / Duke in college basketball.

Despite the Bama fandom they did a good job, and they called a lot of LSU games for CBS as the game of the week, which meant LSU was good at the time. Happy memories for sure.
The normalization of violence and crime, and elimination of political enemies, are the most scary parts.
They're more likely to be liberal than central Americans are.
That's all true about OM's great season last fall, winning two CFP games and getting to the semis. But that's not what OM is focused on. They are focused on a regular season game against LSU. Whether you want to call that a "super bowl" or an obsession, it is reality.

The truth is, LSU is OM and Bama's super bowl ever year. That is why OM and Bama fans were holding hands Saturday night. It was like a group therapy session for those two fanbases. Honestly it is sad.
Moscona was the PR person for the Scott Woodward/ Brian Kelly regime. He knighted for them for four years. Never blamed them for any of the football team's failures.
Was this assault better or worse than the Bama teabagger in the French Quarter? That was as real as it gets. Luckily the perpetrator was apprehended and arrested.
Middle tier restaurants are now just as expensive as high end.

And none of them can find good help.

Always been a tough business to succeed in, but it's tougher now.
Coaches can improve over time, with age and experience. Saban certainly did. Compare his LSU results to his Alabama results.

We don't have the same Lane Kiffin that Southern Cal had.
