I am all for banter between people who have actually served. My problem is with people who have never worn the uniform feeling entitled to put down on different branches. Not just Navy, all branches for whatever reason.

It is not the critic who counts but the man in the arena.


Honestly, your posts just make you sound overly sensitive and soft.

I don't really care if people say I was "Chair Force" because I got to do and see some stuff most people won't ever experience.

If someone who has never served went too far with their ribbing, I'd just make a comment about being them being too much of a puss to join.

How many crappy threads are you going to start?

The quote I got was around 9k for them installed


I did them myself for about $500 which covered the front of the house.

Wasn't very hard, just took some time. There's a thread on the Tech board about permanent lights.

Looks pretty official to me.
Since I can't find the jumbo C9 "covers" online, I'm thinking about just buying some regular lights off Amazon, use them until the lights crap out, then pull the covers off them and use 10mm pixels to customize them how I want.
I’ve gotten at least 4 “man we need to put those on our house” around the neighborhood ever since I installed my lights. I’ve had them up since last November and have only had to change out 1 light so far.

I want to find a way to make some jumbo c9 lights into WLED as well to go around the landscape. Also would like to do the same with lights in a small tree.

I don’t know why people want Orgeron back. This whole mess started because of him


It isn’t about people wanting or not wanting O. It’s about wanting your new HC to have the people he believes gives him the best chance of success.

If that is O, so be it.
I can’t wait for this coaching search to be over

A lot of people on here won’t get this but when Saban left LSU he recommended Nutt. He did that because Nutt was a goofball and Saban wanted Nutt here to make himself look better. Nutt would have failed here and King Saban wanted that


If only we would have followed that advice and hired Nutt. He would have tanked and the stars would have aligned for Saban to come back as he was done with his NFL experiment.
No matter what, he isn’t coaching in the Iron bowl.

Literally the only MLB I’ve watched this year has been 2 pitches before the dodgers tied it and ever since then.

I’ve met him a couple of times and am a big fan of his.

When he became the dean of the college of business at McNeese I was in my final year of accounting. He made it a point to routinely visit classrooms. It didn’t give the vibe of micromanaging professors but more like he had a genuine interest in getting to know every person in that building.

Team still has alot of talent except OLine


I think the OL problems have much more to do with coaching than talent. If we had someone in place that could actually coach these guys, I think they could be pretty good.
I think it is more likely that they contact him about the AD position.

I still don't believe he would take that position but it is more likely than HC. Even if it is a 1% likelihood to 2%.

Frank is going to repeat the O-interim approach of going above and beyond to drum up the support of the former players in the hope that MAYBE he will be considered for the permanent job.


Frank is fresh off of bad stints as a HC at UTSA and McNeese. He will not be considered for the HC position at LSU.
