This reminds me of an old post that starts with a guy flicking peanuts.

Is that you hammertime? you ole knuckle checker, you.

orndogs have sniff victory against bama 1 time (2022) since covid. That's something to be proud of.


LSU has been poorly coached, the talent is there, but QB development has not been good. Our best two QBs transferred in from programs that historically develop QBs.

I think Kiffin will improve this and win a natty.
At this point it’s all coaching and NIL. Kids may dream of playing at a school, but aren’t going to pass up wealth.

Longhorns (maybe). I do think they're the only school in the conference that could find real success as an independent.


I think Alabama would have better success as an independent. They have been a consistent national brand for multiple generations. Love em or hate em, you watch and cheer for or against them.

Texas is not on the same level.

Alabama vs Penn St
Texas vs Penn St
I would rather bama

Alabama vs Miami
Texas vs Miami

Alabama vs USC
Texas vs USC

The pattern here is one looks like a historically good matchup, the other looks like Texas playing someone.

Btw I hate Alabama

My understanding they both want it and now with ND as an AAU member it makes sense. This issue for both though is TV revenue. ND currently does not share any even with the ACC is my understanding. They want to keep their money and the B1G wants their money.


This is spot on. Notre Dame has a deal with NBC to televise all their games. If they joined SEC or B1G every game they played would be there. That would hurt their current contracts which probably requires 1st refusal for games.

How much money in sales tax does the city parish reap off the parades running downtown?


State gets 5% city gets the rest. None goes directly to the police budget so the department relies on the mayor to reimburse out of the general fund for these events.

I question the financial impact local events truly have when food is tax exempt. Even if a parade brings 5 million that’s still only 250k in local tax and I would guess that half that 5 million would be food so now your at 125k When you put 75k for police overtime it’s 50k Not sure DPWs clean up fee.

But as far as the city goes it’s probably a financial push.
The benefit really goes to local merchants who profit off selling the food, gas, hotel rooms etc. also having and keeping traditions is important.

I’m sure a go fund me could raise the fees to pay for security if they went that route.
If you mean deconsolidate the city/parish model I would imagine that would require a statewide vote.

The problem with liquidation is once you sell everything you are in the exact same position but with fewer assets.

I think there are large areas of The City of Baton Rouge that haven’t had reassessments for property tax. The houses fall under homestead exemption therefore they don’t contribute. A fair assessment will bring the proper money in, but then a large voter base will be disgruntled. I imagine that’s why it hasn’t been done
quote:

I'd have preferred we keep some level-headed people in the Mayor's seat after Kip but that didn't happen.


Don’t kid yourself, Kip would have done something similar to Broom, but not as poorly executed. Broom surrounded herself with dislikeable people which hurt whatever she wanted.

St George was never part of the City of a Baton Rouge, never used any city services and once became their own city is still part of East Baton Rouge Parish.

THRIVE may have been poorly advertised and explained, but it was necessary and the least expensive option to fix what Broom left.

Without additional funding the City of Baton Rouge is in trouble.

The voters spoke at the polls and that should be respected, but a new plan needs to be developed quickly
I’m an LSU and a PSU fan. I’ll take the lows for the highs.
I think it makes the season more magical when you get a championship.

Alabama is the gold standard and for most of Sabans career they were picked to win it all. Seems like the championships all blend together and weren’t shocking. The other side would be would you rather play for it every year and win half or be like LSU?

Update: nothing they said was illegal


I think slo is one of the best trolls here. He mixes facts occasionally with wildly wrong interpretations about function.

The videos I’ve watched are inappropriate and I think they should be stripped of any privilege in Congress, but I haven’t seen them say anything illegal.

not to follow unlawful orders is a core of all training for police, military and others that have a lawful duty to follow orders.

We have gotten away from the principle of free speech. I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend with my life for your right to be a dumbass.

Edit
The Democratic Party is very good at being vague when asked about the illegal orders. Their inability to point to one shows they are just targeting the casual, emotional voter. It worked in NYC as they elected a mayor who ran on a platform where he doesn’t have the authority to do half of what got him elected.

Domestically? Yes. That's not applicable to this scenario, though. I do not believe we're subject to that particular treaty, however. Which means that their typical extradition rules would not be mandated upon the US.


As a lawyer you should know that no extradition can take place without a court hearing. So which court do you think would hold this hearing? New York municipal, New York State or Federal Court?

What officers would arrest him? Very few state or local police carry federal credentials.

What you are entertaining is a kidnapping. I would still love to hear how you would think the NYPD could transport him out of the country.

Backing a state that wouldn’t honor a domestic arrest warrant, but will tout arresting a foreign leader on some ceremonial warrant issued by a powerless group seems low brow.

If this is all some contrarian schtick, then well played sir. You get people riled up.

What type of law do you practice? I know it’s not criminal from your posting unless that’s just part of the schtick.

), there is always the possibility that NYC could theoretically extradite Bibi to a country who would prosecute him (among which are many options)


Did you just make this up and put “theoretically” in front? Do you have any understanding on how extradition works within the US state to state much less internationally?


1st question in your “theoretically”
How do you think the NYPD could get him out of the country? Just pass through TSA with a prisoner, board an international flight with guns all while taking the leader of a recognized country?


I think the board makes fun of you so much because it appears you just make stuff up. If you would just stick to some points you are knowledgeable about maybe people would respect your stance.

I'm one of 7 library board members. Although I never liked this plan, a majority of the board chose to support it. At that point, I had two choices: I could "stand on principle" and quit, or I could stay on the board, expressing my thoughts and opinions when and where the opportunity arose.


This is the issue with politics today. If you don’t agree you have to quit or be replaced.

The people voted against it and that should be enough. I think you should be able to strongly disagree and be respectfully vocal against an idea. Shouting people down, ad hominem defenses and the belief that politics is good versus evil has got us to the point where lunatics are attempting murder over a difference of opinions.

Kiffin's never won shite.....Got fired in the 20th month at the Raiders.


What was Kiffin around 30 at the time? Also they drafted Jamarcus Russell who he did not want and also turned into a huge bust. Art Modell interfered with the raiders non stop. It took a special coach to be there

Honestly curious - where in the Monroe Doctorine does it greenlight tampering in some Eastern European shithole that 75% of Americans can’t find on a map?


To be fair 75% of Americans couldn’t accurately label Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut on a map.

Mamdami vs Cuomo

It’s crazy when Cuomo is the better option. Almost seems like a setup
Once California is completely blue they really have no threat left to make on the national stage. Other than fudging the census to try to get an extra seat, but I think that will be the next goal of the GOP. An accurate count of citizens can only further diminish California's power
Mandame’s problems will start when half his plan revolves around state legislature passing new taxes and laws which will not get much support in state government
Chris Petersen
he was able to make Boise St a national brand with nothing more than 3 star recruits. He could take a solid QB and make him a beast.
quote:

Truth Bomb. I get WHY LSU hired him, but it was a stupid hire from the jump.


Kelly is arrogant seems to have fake outrage and was an embarrassment to LSU.

That’s a lot considering we had Coach O who barely spoke English and Les Miles before him that knew all the words but struggled to put them in the correct order to make sense
PSU is job security. They have only had 3 coaches since the 60s
I would love Chris Petersen. He took 3 star players taught them discipline and put Boise St on the map. He could find a college QB that ran his system flawlessly.
