Since they love communism so much, they should be forced to stay.

Early in the Bertman regime we did. He was Kenny Kleinpeter. They stopped the organist for financial reasons. Good times.

Yes. Kenny is my dad’s cousin. He was super talented, and had sort of an edge to him. At one regional game that we were hosting, the umps made a terrible call. When they were convening to talk over the call, Kenny played an ump’s favorite song: “Three Blind Mice.” He was actually ejected for doing this, and the crowd all stood up and gave him a standing ovation, whistling, and waving their hats to him as he was escorted out of the booth.

Yeah, the Coach’s Committee was paying him something like only $35 per game. He mostly did it for a love of LSU and the fun of playing the music for the crowd. But, yeah, they decided they could cut out the $35 per game and just use recordings of organ music.

I made this post in another thread a few days ago. I appreciate all that contribute on this board, and many of whom are very informative. So, where I believe I can add to the board, I'd like to help... Here is what I posted, and hopefully this helps relative to this topic:

I’ll throw in my 2 cents here…

I’m a Cuban American (although I hate that term and I don’t use it, because my family just considers ourselves Americans… we don’t want a hyphen… but I throw this in here in order to give all of you a clearer perspective). My grandfather was born in Cuba, but moved to the U.S. when he was young. He fought in the 10th Armored Division under Patton in WW2, and after the war, became an electrical engineer, and after marriage, raised a family of proud Americans.

Now, I take my family to Cuba every year to visit the remaining family and friends that we still have there. I follow the Cuban situation daily.

You might be surprised at how much Cubans follow American politics. Even in Trump’s first year of his first term, the Cuban people were buzzing about him. When I would talk to Cubans there in Cuba, and once they found out I’m American, they all instantly want to talk politics. Usually, they start by saying they are excited about Trump and that they feel that he is the first American president that might actually do something to help take down the communist regime in Cuba. Again, they have all felt this way since the beginning of his first term.

Bombing them? Absolutely not. They don’t have nuclear weapons facilities, nor anything that would be a threat to the US, other than evil communist leaders. I get that we are slow-playing Cuba with this oil/gas blockade. Most Cubans I know all tell me that they are excited about the future prospect of freedom. They say that they know they might suffer for a bit, but they say they are willing to go through this it brings freedom.

The only problem here, as you might guess, is that the people will suffer while the government pigs there will take care of themselves. Myself, as well as the many Cuban people I know, would love to see the U.S. send in the navy and remove the communist regime. Make it quick, and establish freedom in democracy without the people having to suffer.

I’ll digress here.

It's hard to say what this is from. My family and I go to Cuba every year to visit family. These rolling blackouts have been going on for a few years now, and have been getting worse over the last 3 or so years.... long before this recent oil blockade. There have any been times where the ENTIRE COUNTRY had a blackout for days. I think this was two years ago. So... its hard to say if this is just the usual problem, which it might be, but of course these things are going to increase now in light of the diminishing oil and gas in the country. Hopefully, SOON, our loved ones there in Cuba can FINALLY experience true liberty. Cuba Libre!

No surprise. I had a friend that worked at the New Orleans Airport, doing the curbside check in. He said it was a known fact by all there that the Mannings never tipped. He said Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were always super nice, talkative, and appreciative, and would tip very generously. But he said the Mannings were notorious for being rude, short, not saying a word, and never tipping.

I saw some yesterday in Dick’s, and that was here in S.F., Alabama. They looked nice, but they are expensive.

This was very well put together. Good research, bro! Thanks!

If he comes, you know somebody will make these custom hats and sell them for our next home game against Ole Miss.

I wonder if Layne Kiffen likes crawfish

Why would he not? I mean, Coach Nick Sabian and Coach Paul Mainieriri liked them. And… so did Joe Burrows.

Layne Kiffen isn’t a Pre Madonna. He will come in and establish an offence that is very dominate.


Did I leave out any other of the Rant’s favorite botched words?

quote:

---

The reports that the announcement will come early in the day solidifies that the decision is already made. If he was actually waiting to make a decision tomorrow, it wouldn't be made early in the day. He's coming to BR

---

THIS! It’s clear that he’s already made up his mind. What was he supposed to do? Announce it to the sideline reporter while he’s still down on the field? Right before he goes into the locker room to be with good team? And then go experience constant harassment while wearing his son’s game? Of course not.

Yes, if he were really torn, he would take more time. Instead, he just weaved himself to an easier/safer time and location to make his announcement.

If he were returning, he had the perfect time and environment to make that announcement and fire everyone up. But he didn’t…

I think it’s pretty clear.
