The Honey Badger’s punt return toss before the goal line against Georgia.
re: LSU Lake Project
Posted by Thebuzz on 7/1/26 at 6:26 pm to UptownJoeBrown
The PowerPoint shown at the June update meeting is on the universitylakesproject.org website now. It provides many of the details of the project progress, including costs.
If I’m reading the slides correctly, $81 million has been raised for current contracts.One slide indicates that the running/walking/ bike paths will cost an additional $27 million. The expansion of Wampold Park will be between $14-16 million.

I attended the last update meeting held at LSU. The meeting set-up was amateurish, at best. Half the people had to stand because of limited seats. It was hard to hear because of no microphones for the audience asking questions. Very poor logistical management.
The vocal minority were concerned about the landscaping maintenance, the concept of a singular consortium managing the ongoing environment and the poor planning in determining fiscal requirements for execution.
Someone asked about the cypress and the project manager indicted that the cypress in the City Park Lake area was not sellable due to poor quality. They hope to sell the cypress from University Lake but that isn’t a definite.

re: For Louisiana State Championship games what are some of the best individual performances?

Ricky Zibilich threw a no-hit, 14 strikeout masterpiece for Rummel in the 1974 state championship game against Broadmoor.

Why were the reparations only $1.5 million?
Letterman once did a top ten fears of McDonald’s managers. Number 9 was that customers would find out that the fish sandwich and the apple pie were the exact same item…I laughed.
re: Any LSU bars in Kansas City?

While not a LSU bar, Chappell’s is worth the trip. Amazing collection of sports memorabilia.
re: Crews back to the Majors

Belle was great in the MLB but not in the top 3 for LSU. Crews, Walker and Furniss were probably the best position players.

re: Mardi Gras Mike, who owns him?
Posted by Thebuzz on 5/14/26 at 3:44 pm to djangochained
LSU did not commission Mardi Gras Mike. It was a LSU supporter that had the idea and approached Kern. Kern owns the float.
The cost of most of the recommended pillows was surprisingly high, but I was a novice pillow shopper. Most of the highly rated pillows were over $100. I justified my purchase by weighing the cost against the value of sound sleep and impact that sleep has on your long-term health.
I used old, inexpensive pillows until recently. I decided to upgrade and wanted a “cool” pillow for better sleep. After researching the options, I purchased a Sijo Flexcool pillow on Amazon ($72). You can add and remove the foam to create the desired height and firmness.
I wish I would have bought this years ago, as it’s been great for me.

re: What is your least favorite MLB stadium feature/ground rule?
Posted by Thebuzz on 5/2/26 at 9:06 am to KosmoCramer
The only MLB stadium without a traditional left field foul pole is a very cool architectural aspect to the stadium in San Diego. That unique construction also created an excellent sports trivia question.
Mauck is a great football draft trivia question!
Another great draft trivia question is which team drafted two HOF quarterbacks in the same draft. Answer below:
The Kansas City Royals drafted John Elway and Dan Marino in 1979.

re: What tricks do you use to spend less money?

Live in a residence that fits your means. Limit your dining out. Drive reliable and reasonable vehicles.
Houses, restaurants and fancy new cars will suck you dry.

There are many factors that impact that answer, including but not limited to income and withholdings. It probably helped some but certainly not everyone. It had no effect on my taxes.
Some said it was to simply satisfy a campaign promise regarding social security taxes. Social Security taxes still exist.

You are correct. It was Secure 2.0 not the BBB. My mistake.
I believe the high wage number is inflation adjusted each year so it may be nudged up for 2026.

re: Age 50 catch up rule change

That change is part of the Big Beautiful Bill. I believe this change is for those that qualify as high wage employees. The details on the new catch-up rule are available online and can be found with a quick search.

According to MLB, the ABS system has added 57 seconds to each game. Only three players can call for the review, the batter, the pitcher and the catcher. Some teams do not allow their pitchers to call for a review, which is interesting.
The biggest issue now is that the ABS system is 2 dimensional and the strike zone is 3 dimensional. Apparently they tested a 3 dimensional system and there were issues. I’m sure that technology will improve.
