The sad thing about the coliseum is that once you've walked up to Tiger Stadium, with very similar architecture, it's... so small.


Only on this board would someone compare the Colosseum unfavorably to Tiger Stadium. LSU fans...wow.

Cole Hahn Oxfords or similar can dress up or down and are comfy.

Wasn’t she a cop, or maybe dated a cop? What was her name again? Leslie ?


YES! Great memory. I think she was working at the new Bruno's for a while too.

Any recent reports from Tyrol? Specifically Kitzbuhel, Soell / Wilder Kaiser, Alpbachtal areas?


60 degrees and sunny most afternoons, but it did get below freezing and night so the snow was pretty good in the mornings. Lower elevation areas sucked but above ~ 1600 meters was fine.
Customer service rep was named Shatrenia.

PreCheck reopened but Global Entry suspended?
Two memories stand out.

Tulane graduation pre-Katrina was held here, had a great meal in the Quarters afterwards.

Temporary casino while they were building Harrah's.
You'll see, JP Morrell is a modern day Dorothy Mae Taylor who is trying to stir up the natives against white Krewes and replace them with more black Krewes.

Ummm what?! Do people actually sit at a gate for 2 hours? Also, at Heathrow, they don’t even post the gate information until like 30 minutes before boarding time.
A good friend's grandfather fought in Stalingrad in the Wehrmacht. He had his arm shot off and was evacuated back to Germany. Talk about lucky.
Sucre' is on Goldbelly and is good.

Not a fan of the Casamento's texas toast oyster "loaf", but the fried oysters themselves are excellent.
Drago's in Fat City is excellent for an oyster poboy.

There was also a Round Table in Columbia. 40 miles East of McComb on Hwy 98 but it closed sometime before Katrina.


That place was as authentic as it gets. I thought it closed and got torn down. Either way it was the best of the bunch, along with a nearby restaurant Aymar’s and also Leathea’s in Foxworth MS.

It's Ole Miss. Of course there's a chance.
Weird tangent on this thread. But I think the point is, Sumrall has zero obligations to Tulane and yet still makes this gesture. However "inconsequential" to some, to me it's a sign of strong character. I wish him the best and appreciate the NIL money!
Ireland is in the EU but not part of Schengen. Still have to clear passport control both ways.
