Maybe you listened to Mark? Frankie never did sports talk that I’m aware of.

He was my orthodontist in the 70’s. Years later, I had a chance to chat with him at some of the Baton Rouge Spring Luncheons. He missed one year because of his stroke, and the next year I was talking to him and mentioned how good he looked (after recovering from a stroke). He said son, don’t lie to me, I have mirrors in my house. And he wasn’t smiling lol.

Ram Oats are damn good too.

Of all my years in TS, the most fun and least traffic years are when we would park and tailgate around the lakes, sometimes on Stanford, ride our bicycles to friends tailgates, then to stadium near Locket Hall where they had bike racks to lock up. We never sat in hardly any traffic because we’d haul arse back to truck.

The funniest time was Auburn around 2004?, 2 years after Tuberville lit the stogey on the Tiger Eye and we kicked their asses. My buddy was lit but didn’t have a flask and we didn’t have an extra. He poured some bourbon in a quart zip lock and “double bagged” it which he said wouldn’t allow it to bust. He put it in the front of his jeans and we lit out on bikes. He had a couple minor falls on the way but when we were rolling down the ramp by the Physical Plant, he busted his arse, his body was upside down on the hurricane fence. We thought he was hurt but he was fine and a former OT, so he sprang up and we got, locked the bikes and got in the ticket line.

On the way up the ramps walking with the masses, he looked at me wide eyed and alarmed. I said bro what’s wrong? He said that bag busted and my assholes on fire. We laughed our asses off and he took off walking faster than us and we didn’t see him till halftime.

Sadly he passed away about 10 years after that, ironically in a bicycle wreck. After his wake some friends went to dinner and I told that story. Another buddy said hey was that at the Auburn game in whatever year, and I said yep. He said man right before kickoff I ran to take a leak and walked in to the bathroom and saw our buddy backed up to the round hand wash stations. He had his arse under the water and was standing on the rail sending water down. He was also the funniest guy I ever have known, loved Tiger Football and I believe he made it to Glory Land; I’m looking forward to seeing him there and sharing some more laughs and maybe a Tiger game from ahigh.

The brig is a passive trap, ie it catches whatever walks into/under the net. I know 2 guys with one and they are lukewarm on it, rips, mud gets caked on it, etc. They both also have a Jager Pro MINE trap. One of them has had pigs that wouldn’t walk under the brig net, but he caught them in the JP.

I was one of the first customers of JP, bought my first trap in 2012 and have caught over 1300 pigs on my 400 acre place in SW MS. They invented the technology which many others have attempted to copy. Their products are damn good, they stand behind them and have a very good customer support group.

I’ve used several methods but the most effective and safest I’ve found is dog proof traps. I use corn with some cheap jelly on top and they can’t resist it. I set 2 traps with a common stake last week by my barn cats food and caught a coon with a hand in both traps. A dozen is right under $200 and they last forever.

This is total baddassery. Kudos to you and all that contributed to this.

I did this when I bought my place in MS in 2008. Old house and chimney and the hearth was 1 brick thick past the wall surface and no bottom hearth. I built a brick alcove with 2 walls and a deep mantle above, about 30” deep with a bottom hearth 1 brick thick.

Installed a Quadrafire with rear exhaust and piped up chimney with a rain head above chimney. On the 90 up, I used a T for a cleanout. I have central hvac but rarely if ever turn it on. It’s damn fine.

OM secondary is its weak spot. Leavitt turns the corner from poor passing performance and has a stellar day. 400+ yds passing, which opens up the run game with a buck fiffy from RB’s plus another hundred from Sam. Weston Davis and Bo Bordelon will need to improve in PB.

LSU D holds OM to under 250 total yds.
