What was that pizza called that they used to have that was a crust on the bottom, then a layer of multiple cheeses, with another normal pizza on top of it? That thing was damn good


I think you are talking about the Triple Decker Pizza. Awesome pizza!

How is Jacob Hester on both the tigers 40 yard sideline and 25 yard sideline at the same time?

So I think I could switch to Verizon, get the ETF and device payments covered, then sell the phones unlocked or bring one to VW and sell the other one.


I am fairly certain the Verizon contract buyout plan requires you to port and trade in your current phone (with a contract or payment balance) and purchase a new 4G LTE smartphone (on a payment plan) with them. If you sell the phone you can't get the "up to $650" gift card. I did this about 3 months ago, so maybe things are different now.

I was never in marching band, but doesn't more woodwinds and less brass equal a less powerful sound? If so, that's not good.



Yes. Definitely. A college marching band is a lot more powerful with more brass than woodwinds. Woodwinds help round out the sound, but the power is from the brass instruments. Ohio State doesn't even have woodwinds in their marching band.

It is down by around 5% overall. Any number of factors, like natural attrition, Roy's departure, and the flood. But 5% is not something to be concerned about imo. If it is indicative of a problem with leadership, time will tell.


Based on that video it is down 10 percent. Considering they have been cutting 75 or more people in recent years, that would be a reduction in available members by 25 percent. That is concerning. Also, blaming the flood doesn't explain the increase in woodwinds at the same time a reduction in brass players. To me it sounds like they filled the lack of brass with woodwinds, who in years past would have been cut. This is definitely a push back against Roy being fired.
Looks like the Tiger band is about 10 percent smaller overall this year. There are only 290 members (including golden girls and flags) based on the victory hill practice video. The main problem is that the band has lost many brass instruments and picked up more woodwinds. The trumpets alone are down over 20 percent. The tubas are down near 20 percent. While woodwinds are up by 10 percent. That is not a good sign.
I think the problem is that the plotter thinks you have a 24" paper roll installed. There must be a sensor that determines what size roll you have installed and it is has failed. I had this problem on our old Designjet 450C. It would only plot 24" worth of information even though I had a 36" roll on it. Nothing I tried would get it to realize I had a 36" roll. We finally bought a Designjet T520 and I believe it was around $2500. It's a 36" wide plotter and runs circles around our old one. Just loading the paper is so much easier since it loads automatically and also aligns the paper. I would sometimes spend an hour trying to loading a new roll onto the old one it was so finicky.

OK...I was hoping there would be a way, but I haven't been on that side of the stadium since it was built. Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. I would not think there would be access but looking at the Seating Chart on LSUsports.net it makes it look like the whole west side and south side are inside the boundary line (see image below). Can anyone else verify?

Does anyone know that if you go into South Upper Deck gates 22-28, can you walk over to the west side portal area without leaving the gated area on the ground level?

I had issues booking the two nights consecutively online and I had read others had the same issue. Called the gold passport line and it was no problem.


OK..i will try calling. Thanks.
OK. Thanks. Every hotel I checked didn't have any availability in New York city for the dates I checked in July. Must be very limited supply or high demand.

Using two free Chase Hyatt nights at the new Park Hyatt in NYC later in the year and paid for the other night with 30k UR points. Rooms are $1k/night. That's crazy talk.


Did you book those two free Hyatt nights online or did you have to call? I just received my two free nights for signup bonus but nothing shows up as available online and it tells me to call. I am trying to book that same hotel for mid July. I checked all hyatts in new York and none seem to be available to book online. I am hoping it's just not bookable online. I haven't had time to call yet.
Not sure if this video of the topping off of the Southeast video board has been posted.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that price DOES include food for the club seats.
Where specifically does it say LSU will not have 1080p? They could technically be first by date only. We are both getting new boards this year.

Awesome design process there LSUAD. Destroy the aesthetics of your new trillion dollar expansion by adding cheap and tacky structures to the top of it all because the negligent architects didn't integrate it all into the guts.


They did say there would be standing room only tickets available. Guess where they will be standing? Yep, on that open concourse with the concessions and restrooms in the background. I think it's a fair trade-off.

They could have put more seats in front and above that concourse (thus hiding the structures) for more capacity for the big games but for the rest of the games those extra empty seats would be very noticeable as opposed to the equivalent capacity with standing room only areas that won't look so empty for the lesser games. These are the kind of considerations that lsu admin and architects take into account when designing the new expansion. People would complain either way. Empty seats or visible infrastructure.
quote:

I just can't see this thing adding over 10,000 to the current capacity.



But then again, what the hell do I know?



The South Endzone lower bowl structure seats 24,000. That is roughly 12,000 for upper and lower. I can definitely see getting about 10,000 seats in that new uppper deck design.
Does anyone have more information on the remodeled locker room in Tiger Stadium? In today's South Endzone construction update they added a few photos of the work in the locker room.
