Tell me you didn't live through the oil boom crash of 1986 in Louisiana without actually telling me

This is very true. If you aren’t old enough to remember what happened to the Louisiana oil industry and its economy really beginning prior to 1986 …probably beginning in the late 70s…jobs were very much in tight supply. It was extremely hard to get a good paying job. Throw in a prime interest rate of around 21% in late 1980 and you had the perfect mix for a very bad economic and job environment. Really not just for Louisiana but the country overall. Frankly if interest rates hit 21% today there would be absolute anarchy in streets and in DC. Then you had no choice but to figure it out and do your best to make do. I am no different from my grandparents who would speak about the depression and its terrible effects to on everyone. I couldn’t understand it as I didn’t live thru it. The younger generations fighting this economic fight now will say the same thing to their children and grandchildren.

Top five historical war/action movie that has no historical accuracy

I was in Scotland (Edinburgh and the highlands) earlier this year and the Scots we met made it abundantly clear that are was not much historical accuracy in Braveheart. They all gave a great chuckle when someone brought up Braveheart. In fact the Scots have extremely long historical memories. They are a great people. Really enjoyed the trip.

Unfortunately that read / write / count issue is already here.

Now they need to do this from the LSU north gates to I-10.

I have tailgated at LSU for over 40 years now (yeah I’m old so what) and the amount of skunk weed smell on campus since the COVID era is astounding. Look of you can’t go a few hours without smoking your stink weed you meed to reassess your life. The vast majority of the population does not want to breathe in nor smell your problem.

Look I am not usually one of these sports conspiracy wackos but this thread struck a chord. Look at these very recent past major LSU coaches changes / issues that made the national media talking heads lose their freaking minds when they occurred:

Miles fired / Coach O hired
Fargas fired / Mulkey hired
Coach O fired / Kelly hired
Wade : strong offer recording.
Kelly fired / Kiffin hired
McMahon fired / wade hired

Jay Johnson hiring may the only one that did not cause an uproar.

I challenge anyone to offer a comparable college athletic team / department across the US that endured more national media hatred than LSU. In fact bring anything to the table for discussion even remotely close to this.

There is something to the OP’s argument.

If you live in or frequent the Houston area very much you fully know why this happens and you will avoid that area if possible. Until that rodeo / stadium complex is moved to the western or northern regions of the Houston metroplex this will continue to occur in greater frequency. Real shame.

That pesky historical Crusades thing must be a tough mental hurdle.
