LSU would love nothing more than to keep their brand protected, but the T shirt vendors are like cockroaches. All you can do is report them.


Exactly. If people can report who's doing it and their location, they will get ticketed and removed and (hopefully) banned. If nobody says anything, then it's just dumb luck if a gameday ops person happens to run across it.

Biggest sign that somebody's not supposed to be there is they are selling merchandise with explicit language or graphics or they are selling out of a pull wagon and not a trailer, branded tent or kiosk. Believe me...LSU admin and people in charge of gameday hate this probably more than you do.
LSU does stop them when they are seen or reported. It's a big point of emphasis for anyone that has anything to do with games and operations. If people see crap like this, report it. I know for a fact that gameday ops deals with unlicensed vendors swiftly.

It can be tough sometimes when there's 150,000 people milling around and some rando's just roll up with a pull wagon and start selling dumb shite. Gotta let somebody know if you see it. It will be handled.

Good point. And flying that high in a lear jet is walking the razor between stalling and hitting speed limitations of the plane, not to mention icing.

Didn't she say it was like -47 degrees at altitude? That's all a really bad combination.

They had way more wiggle room to the south.


Listening to the ATC and watching the FlightAware, I believe they had traffic fairly close to the south. Maybe that had something to do with not going south idk.
Inside the lounge is great if you want to be shielded from some of the noise. In the seats outside the lounge...yeah loud as hell.

Unless you're actually inside a suite, there aren't many spots in the stadium that won't be loud.
All bullshitting aside, I saw him tonight at the autograph signing he and Ty Benefield did. Of course everybody kept asking if he would be back for Bama.

He kept saying he didn't know. I don't think he was being coy... he probably doesn't truly know today if he will be good to go and get cleared to play next Saturday. My bet is he plays.

re: Shoegaze thread

Lush is getting some well deserved love in this thread. Split is one of my favorite albums from the 90's and "Desire Lines" is a shoegaze masterpiece. The wall of sound, long build up, huge crescendo, and then pulling it back down to the dreamy, ethereal finish. This one is epic and a staple for fans of shoegaze.

I'd love it if they'd incorporate elements of "Out Where the Buses Don't Run", complete with Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms", or some sort of homage.

One of the best episodes of TV ever.

"Last Child" and "Back in the Saddle" are peak early Aerosmith. Rocks is one of the best, most influential albums of the 70s.

re: LSU Volleyball on SECN

Absolutely love LSU volleyball. Great group of women but yeah...the next couple of weeks are going to be brutal. Outside of Jurnee, Jessica Jones, Sanaa Donaie, Brooker and Coleman - I don't know if our players would get any meaningful playing time at those other schools. They might not even make the team.

Coach Johnson is an incredibly nice lady and was a great player for us back in the day. I just don't see where she has the chops to make LSU a top level program.

This past off season LSU put a huge pile of money on fixing the internet and it worked for me great.


AT&T spent that $45 million, not LSU.

USC - Oregon would be my bet too because of all the SEC games weeks 1-3. You also have Texas at Tennessee and Oklahoma at Georgia that day if they kept it in the SEC.

Pretty certain though they'll be back for either the Bama or Texas games here.
I'm around LSU athletics a lot. Dr. Rousse is very present and social. Goes around talking to a lot of people (fans especially) and thanks everyone for being there. He and his wife are super engaging and approachable.

Obviously he doesn't have to do that but it definitely fires you up as an alum when the university president makes that much effort to connect.

If I never hear "Shiny Happy People" ever again in my life, it'll be too soon. This right here is what a Michael Stipe and Kate Pierson duet should be.

In college, damn near everybody seemed to own a copy of "Eponymous". REM had never been my thing in high school but I began to develop an appreciation for them around 18-20. And then I got so damn sick of hearing them all the time :lol:

"Rockville" is still a great song. I know "Out of Time" and "Monster" tend to get shite on by old school REM fans a lot, but "Me in Honey" and "Crush with Eyeliner" stay in my Spotify playlist.
My favorite Ciaran Hinds/Liam Neeson/Excalibur story :lol:
