Burnt Ends and Tater Salad. Mardi Gras Cake for the chaser!

It’s just the south stadium club.


I’ve been to a number of events in the SSC, most times it’s the same company that caters LSU Football games in the Club. Their food is very good, with a great selection.

Got an invite yesterday for a Manship Theater event, won’t be in town.
I was asked to build a house for a good friend, at the time I was busy. He found a contractor to oversee the construction. The very first thing I told him, I’d rather write 200 checks, than one. Always owe them money. During the moving in of their new home, he got together a punch list. After weeks of calling, he called me. I asked, what do you still owe him. A little less than $19,000. He gave me the punch list, I had two guys finish it in a day, saved him thousands. Easy fix.

My Dad was a Marine, before he died, I took him to this museum. We have been going down to the Rio Grande Valley for years. Not far from the Rio, a town called Harlingen, they have a great Iwo Jima museum, if around that way, worth a stop.


Harlingen, Tx.

Morning Folks!
The prices didn't get to where they are because of Trump. Prices are where they are because of the four years prior to Trump. Biden's 9% inflation got the prices to where they are. Trump's 2% inflation is a huge improvement. Where would the prices be if Biden's 9% inflation had continued till now?

I keep hearing you won’t be able to find TV’s and Electronics at lower prices anymore. I see them lower everywhere.

If tariffs are so bad, why do almost 200 countries have them, is it bad for them?

Yes, got a chuckle out of it also!
I spent 12 days in Omaha, for the 2023 NC. I thought that was one of the better mixture of teams assembled. As for LSU Baseball, I attended game way before Skip was there.
Once Skip got there, didn’t take long to figure, he knew what he was doing. Much of the same with Jay.

Morning Folks!

Lunch today in Cypress, with another Big Tiger Fan.

Think we are going to Saltgrass, for lunch!
In the NC 2023 season we lost 17 games.
2024 we lost 23.
And in the NC 2025 season, we lost 15.

So less than 23, but more than 12.

How long did it take to assemble?
My family got back a little over a week ago. Cruise ship stops at Island of Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya and Island of Cozumel. No problems.
Same polls that had HiLiARy and Word Salad winning the Presidency?

LSU will not have a top 5 pick pitcher this year. Just need to overcome it with offense.


We are just getting started into a long season.

Talent and coaching will never be a problem with Jay Johnson's teams. We're spoiled and lucky as fans.


Very lucky, we get to see great college baseball.
Jay has done a great job putting together this team. It’s early, but they are very good. Once again, the SEC is very tough.

I often say, Coaches and Players, many times, it’s the off the field items that gets them.

As for Lane, he has a brand he can push. LSU Football with NC, Heisman Trophy Winners, LSU Woman’s Basketball and 2 out of three years LSU Baseball NC. Kids in sports follow a college, not just their selective sport.

I’ve said before, LSU has money people, go into a Tiger Stadium Suite, I’ve been in a number. Those people want a winning program, they spend the money.

Lane knows he can win a NC at LSU. Name another school Les and O could win a NC at besides LSU?
