I’m a Baylor and LSU fan. Baylor’s getting a great defensive mind that has been thought to be very good HC material. Nobody really knows until you ascend to top job and have all the responsibility.

But he already knows how to beat Tom Herman and Lincoln Riley....so that’s a huge ‘W’ for Baylor.

I’m feeling great for my Bears and sad for my Tigers.

re: Hahnville QB "hearing" Thursday

Posted by Bowe Knows on 9/29/18 at 8:46 am to
In this case, one of the parents was a multi-sport high school coach who should know LHSAA rules. And the main issue for Robison isn’t the jersey, it is the residency form:

quote:

A document filed by LHSAA attorney Mark Boyer in advance of Monday’s scheduled 1 p.m. hearing in Hahnville’s 29th Judicial District states that an LHSAA investigation found that Robison’s parents “intentionally falsified the LHSAA Residency Form for the purposes of establishing athletic eligibility for their son.”


And with the recent revelation of the Robison’s signed and dated TPR paperwork that they lived in Houma on August 19 so their younger son could play football in Terrebonne, it seems pretty obvious what took place.

The parents signed and dated one form claiming residency in St. Charles so the older son could play football there. And they signed and dated another form claiming residency in Terrebonne so the younger son could play football there.

As Choupiquesushi said awhile back “Game...set...match” for LHSAA.

quote:

Boyer also refuted Friday a WWL Radio report that stated the LHSAA was in “negotiations with the Robison family.” Boyer responded by text, saying “The LHSAA is not interested in a settlement or a resolution.”


I think everyone will admit that the LHSAA needs to be more consistent and maybe make some changes. But in this case, they got it right. It sucks for the kid. But you just can’t do what he and his parents did.
Sad that Kristian Garic is still beating the Robison drum and doesn't understand the importance of the TPR document:

Garic Twitter

He wonders how LHSAA didn't find a document that was filed in late August? I mean, the Robison's didn't give this info up when they claimed Houma was toxic. It was only known once the younger brother started playing games the last 2 weeks and someone thought to look.

The parents claims residency on a signed/dated statement in St. Charles so one son can play football there. And they claim residency on a signed/dated statement in Terrebonne so another son can play football there. It seems pretty cut and dry where the blame lies...

And this is probably why Garik is a sports reporter and not working with Lee Zurik or David Hammer. He gave the dad 10 minutes of free video publicity Friday night and never once asked about the residency, the lie about basketball coaching at Hahnville on the statement, the reasons he was let go at Vandebilt even though his son was the starting QB, etc. Brilliant reporting...
Thanks for the info. I'll try and do some more research. I guess my basic understanding of what the system is and does is a little off. So instead of this thing being like a Wii where multiple people play around a tv, it's essentially a handheld gaming device that also connects to your tv?

More handheld than console?

If I bought 4 units, would purchasing 1 game, either download or cartridge(or whatever the hard copy option is) be playable on all devices? Or would I have to purchase 4 games?

I wonder if my folks had this much trouble deciding whether to buy extra paddle controls for the Atari 2600...
So my 4 girls want a Nintendo Switch for Christmas. I'm not a gamer and some on the online data confuses me on this system. Looking for advice from some of you that purchased it, especially for family:

1) If I have 4 kids, should I buy an extra set of controllers? Does the system have games where 4 players play at once?

2) I see people talking about extra SD cards. Why would I need this? Is it strictly for downloadable games, etc?

3) What other accessories would you recommend? Those steering wheel controllers? An extra charging station if I buy another set of controllers?

Any other advice would be appreciated. Looking to purchase on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but it doesn't look like too many deals are put there.

If you live in Houma, there are plenty of locations to drop off needed items:

United Way for South LA

Mulberry Baptist has a truck on St. Charles in the Concord Plaza and is collecting water, diapers, formula, hygiene products through 7pm tomorrow night. Drop offs can be made at the Hi-5 discount store in the strip center.

Chick-Fil-A on MLK will be a drop off site for flood relief items this week (Mon-Thur) from 2-5pm. In return for your donation you'll receive a coupon for a free chicken sandwich. Looking for cleaning supplies (trash bags, bleach, brooms, blankets, detergent, work gloves, etc.)
This one has more footage from the whole CWS leading up to the game (Brad Hawpe vs Mark Prior...lol)

if I recall, Barbier also went ballistic in the dugout before the 8th inning. Stanford's pitching had been killing us all day long. And he tried firing up the troops and then went up there fouling off pitch after pitch (at least 6 and it felt like 10) until he hit that dinger. And then Whitten. That game was over right then when the ball went over the wall. We were stoked and they we deflated. It was awesome.

Just saying you aren't going to find a black Camry because they are so common.


That does increase the degree of difficulty. Also why they are still pleading for help and clues.

This doesn't even take into consideration that they have not even said they are 100% certain it is even a Camry.



This is one of the clearest images they have released. But because the car is going the wrong way down a one way street, you can't see the license plate. The cameras are pointed the other direction.
The Uber driver was not driving the car that hit him. They had just made eye contact with their Uber driver a half block away when he was struck by another car. This came directly from the couple standing next to the victim.

It happened near Cafe du Monde and then the driver went the wrong way down some one way streets getting out of the FQ.
NOPD is terribly understaffed and has had a TON of crime plus Mardi Gras details to contend with since this occurred. Apparently, between security cameras from businesses and private citizens, they have enough detail to know the exact route this "person" took on their escape route out of the French Quarter and on the Interstate.

Police reveal escape route taken

But most of those security cameras focus plainly on the sidewalks fronting the stores and businesses, so the street detail isn't that clear. Plus it was dark, the car was dark, no front license plate, and the windows tinted, so they have very little in the way of unobstructed views.

From what the family has said, the NOPD has been helpful and the people of South LA have been giving them an outpouring of support. There have been plenty of pleas for locals to come forward.

This new plea focuses on people who were in town and left before this was a news item locally. That's the point. There are probably people who saw something or have a picture of something that don't even know they witnessed a crime.

Locally, they said a month ago they could see people on the street on all of the security camera footage. They could see people turning, pointing, getting out of the way, etc.

THOSE are the people they are trying to reach with this message. So if you had a friend or relative in the FQ that night, please forward the news story to them. They could help solve this case and bring some peace to this guy's family and friends.
Even if you had already left by then, please check your cameras or phones. That car may have been parked behind you before the drivers ever showed up. You just never, never know. You could have taken a random selfie and the thing is parked behind you.

Black, 4-door Toyota Camry (they think) with tinted windows. Like the guys mom said in the video, any small piece of a plate (the state, a letter or number, anything) could help.
They have plenty of views and know the exact route it took after the hit and run. But it is too dark and they can't see the license plate. The windows are tinted and they haven't ever said if they think it is a male or female driver.

So now the parents are pleading with people who may have been in town and never heard this story. Ole Miss and OSU fans would have left before this full account hit the airwaves a few days later. So they are hoping this reaches one of them who may unknowingly have a snapshot of something that will help the police.
Here was the original story when it broke after New Year's:

If you were in NOLA on New Year's Eve in the French Quarter (for Ole Miss or just for fun), this news broadcast and message is for you:

Plea on TV News

quote:

On New Year’s Day, 28-year-old Josh Woodruff was trying to hail down an Uber in the French Quarter in New Orleans. As he was in the crosswalk, he was hit by a black sedan. Authorities say Woodruff was dragged for six miles and left for dead in the street. Now, his family is asking for help solving the crime. The Woodruffs said they wonder if somebody in the French Quarter took a picture of the car.


quote:

“We’re particularly interested now in people from Mississippi or Oklahoma who may have been there for the Sugar Bowl and they may have a video or photo for some other reason- if it’s at the right time, about 3:10 a.m. on New Year’s Day and in the French Quarter, and a black Toyota Cary or sedan in the video – that would be useful,” said Mark.


The smallest detail may help police. So if you or someone you know (Ole Miss fan, Oklahoma State fan, New Year's Eve reveler, etc.) was in the French Quarter New Year's Eve, forward the video link to them. The Crimestoppers link is at the end of each story.

I happened to meet Josh's friend who was standing next to him when this horrific event occurred. He and his girlfriend were sitting next to me on their flight into NOLA on New Year's Eve to meet Josh. We exchanged business cards and he called me Friday (New Year's Day), still in shock from what had happened a few hours earlier, and not knowing anyone in LA.

We have talked and texted a few times. even today as we both watched the news conference online. So this story has become somewhat personal to me despite the fact I never knew Josh.

He and the family are very scared right now that no more leads have come in. I assume that's why the parents are here now. To keep this in the news, put a face to this tragedy, and hope to get the public's help.

The police are asking the same thing. So that's what we need to do. They think it is a black, 4-door Toyota Camry. But it could be any make/model with those curved front headlamps. Since this, I've noticed Hyundais, Lexus, and Mercedes models all with those headlamps. Without anything more specific from the police, it could be any one of them.

So, please, if you happen to see a car with that description next to you at a light or parked in a lot that you are walking through, take a look at the front. If there is any damage to the front bumper or fenders, snap a picture and of the license plate and send it to Crime Stoppers.

Sadly, at this point, that may be the only way to catch this person.

I have to assume that this individual is from South LA. If you aren't from here, it is next to impossible to find your way out of the French Quarter and decide to go to the West Bank. That car took a very deliberate route and has to be down here somewhere.

Please just be aware and let's get some closure for Josh's friends and family.

Thanks.

A few threads have discussed how this video couldn't be found anymore. Here is a high quality version on Vimeo:

I'm pretty sure you can even download a copy if you have a Vimeo account. But no strange ads like the low quality version from the deep interwebs that someone posted in another thread last night.
