6. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will get rear-ended.

7. Hoo Shoo Too Road can only be pronounced by a native.

8. Construction on I-12 is a way of life, and a permanent form of entertainment.

9. All unfamiliar sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we are in Denham Springs!"

10. If you actually see someone with their turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect.

18. Never stare at the driver of the car with the bumper sticker that says, "Keep honking. I'm reloading."

19. For directions sake, you must know the difference between the "New" bridge & the "Old" bridge as also you should know the difference between the "New" mall and the "Old" mall.

And finally,
21. Anyone trying to get within 5 miles of the LSU campus on the day of an LSU Football game either does not live in Baton Rouge or has lost his mind!

Sorry for your loss man

Blessings brother!

For you fellow coaches out there, don't give up! We're also deliberately the Tigers (Detroit since it had to be an MLB team)!

After getting off to a rough 0-2 record last week, they really gelled for their first road game in the next county (parish for my LA friends) and we came home with a dominating 15-6 win!

There were so many highlights including a walk that turned into a home run, a rocket line drive that almost got out of the park, an in-the-field grand slam, and a great sliding catch in deep right field by one of our youngest players to end the game! For context this is an 11/12 year old age team

After being tied , we had a 10-run top of the 5th inning to put it out of reach!
Geaux Tigers! LSU could use some pointers from these Tigers!!

Fatherhood is a sacrifice. Learn to enjoy what he likes. I became a dad (deliberately) at 48. I'm knocking on the door of 60 and my son is still 11. I never played any sports in my life other than of soccer in my life. He had no interest and liked baseball. I'm now a Little League coach and were headed to a pro game to watch in a couple of weekends. The wife (no pics) and I think monster truck shows are stupid, but we go with him when they are in the area. You'll be ok Dad!

That team is mostly white baws with a token of hispanics.

Get a Carfax report on the VIN and ask if they would let a mechanic you trust check it out. Also make sure it has a clean title.

Don't flame me , but what is the 4:30 curfew rule that was mentioned about?

Serious question.

The Middle East is BIG baw. They are headed to Iran. It's a strategic move for influence.

I spent a total of 5-1/2 years at Benning. Ranger burgers were awesome as was that place.
