You mean to tell me Belgium has better resources than Americans?


No they don't but they don't have kids playing Football, Baseball, and far less playing Basketball than we do. Winter sports and soccer are their big things.

Pretty easy to find the answer to your question.

Mandatory Appearance: Under Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 32, § 57, speeding in a school zone explicitly mandates that the driver must appear in court. You are usually required to attend an advanced driving school or defensive driving course as well.

Small cooler with ice/Florida Water mix and a cooling towel. Works wonders this time of year.

That’s a rough 70, for a fitness influencer.


Um, reading comprehension must be bad, she's 80. She was 200 lbs at 70 and started her fitness journey.
Exactly , no cards despite plenty of fouls that should have been. Then red for that. Deport all the damned refs.

re: First LSU game I attended

That was the year before I was born. I wish I could go back and experience a game day of that era. Campus and the stadium was a whole lot different back then!


I was 4 back then but distinctly remember that men wore nice clothes and some suits, ladies wore dresses, and not nearly the drunken crowds of today. Different world growing up in the 60's, and in many ways much better than today.
Two that I was in the stadiums for:

Tulane -LSU 1982

TCU-Baylor 2014. TCU was up 58-37 with 11 minutes left and physically dominating the game. Baylor scored 24 straight points, the last on a FG as the clock ran out to win the game 61-58. The team picture next year right in the middle of the front row, 61 sat next to 58. Classic Troll job

I tried watching some of it. It looked like the US scored but got no goal. I did not get why it did not count


The non goal you are talking about was a clear offsides thus no goal.

Last night was basically an exhibition game for the USA having clinched the top soot in the pool and moving on to play a 3rd place team.
Isn't that the original layout? I haven't played there in at least 10 years but that was the routing then.

The Scots make LSU fans look like non drinkers, those guys are crazy hard drinkers.
You must be referring to the concession stands because the food options with the Best of the Zurich package are terrific
This is what it generates for charities and tourism organizations



A record-breaking moment for a great cause!

The Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, was proud to present the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation with a $1,115,000 donation from this year’s tournament.

This marks the largest contribution in Fore!Kids’ 69-year history!

The Louisiana Hospitality Foundation supports and strengthens individuals across Louisiana’s hospitality community.

Leap day birthdays were in the draft.
Going to Styx and Chicago in The Woodlands in August. Saw Chicago a month ago, Lee Loughnane is the only original still touring. Still great music and show. Singer Neil Donnel just left them and the new guy is fairly young.
Pin hi golf makes really nice brass ones but they are pricey. I ordered one with a picture of my best labrador on it. Came out amazing. Had to honor my best bud, R.I.P.

Why, they beat the teams they had to play. They earned it.

I would love to see Leonid and Friends. I’ve seen quite a few of their FB videos and they are phenomenal.


Saw them in April in New Orleans. Fantastic show, the music was true to the original versions of the songs and singers are terrific. Covered Chicago, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Blood Sweat & Tears, Ides of March, the Carpenters, and others. Got to meet them afterwards, very nice and humble group.
