Vern often misnamed teams that were playing. IMO, he was terrible

Verne struggled near the end, when he got too old. But prior to that, Verne was excellent.

And that will yield about $2 million annually in sustainable inflation-adjusted income. He’ll have to pay a little in taxes, but I’d guess only about 10%.

---

where do you get 10%?

Capital gains taxes are 20%, and interest income would be taxed as ordinary income, and the highest rate is 37%.

He must have a hell of a tax attorney to only pay 10% effective tax rate.

Gary was a doucher and loved Bama more than anything.

---

it just seemed that way because Bama was the most dominant team in the country for a decade, so when Bama was playing, of course Gary was going to be mostly complementary.... because they won most games and had the best players all over the field.

Gary isn't a Bama homer - he's from the Midwest and has no dog in the hunt.

Did you grow up in south Louisiana?

The lsu vs Aggie hate goes back a generation

There actually is a reason why you perceive that. When two fan bases “grow up” near each other it breeds resentment and deep hostilities.

---

yes, I grew up in Baton Rouge and graduated from LSU.

I thoroughly understand the history and that A&M has some odd traditions.

What I don't understand is the excessive obsession with A&M on this board. The rest of the country thinks their traditions are unique and good for college football, but this board is full of people calling them gay and a cult.

The more this board obsesses over A&M, it makes it seem like we're scared of them. Just go out and beat the shite out of them (like we did) and otherwise ignore them.

silly voter polls don't matter. And we're only a third of the way into the season.

Just let it all play out.

What caused his tremendous rise in 2019 was LSU finally deciding to come out of the stone age on offense and allowing what would become a NFL HC to design and call plays.

---

100% correct.

Burrow was always Burrow, and the difference between 2018 and 2019 was Joe Brady.

Ensminger had all that offensive talent in 2018 (Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, CEH, OL) but didn't do much with it.

Only when Brady came was all that talent unleashed.

It wasn't extra time Burrow spent in the film room, WRs on the JUGS machine, etc.

It was Brady who put all that talent in the right offensive scheme.

Gave up 1 TD in the second half.

---

so the first half doesn't count at all?

Halftime adjustments are great, but we're paying Baker a truckload of money to have us ready to go from the opening kickoff. Have multiple strategies ready to go if the current one isn't working. Don't wait until we're in a deep hole to change things up.

I saw some dick head rebel fan saying that we aint seen the real Ole Miss defense yet because theyve been sitting their 2 best DBs and theyre rolling them out this weekend. He was saying they're about to chew LSU up.

---

who cares?

Just watch the game, then we'll all know.

I do my niece is on the team

---

then you're one of the tens of people who watch.

Look, I have two daughters and enthusiastically attended all of their athletic events. But the reality is that most women's sports (except for emotionally invested people like family members) is really tough to watch.

And soccer? Well, that's tough to watch when the men play too.

---

I know it's a old adage but we should be comfortable with Clark if our ground game is effective.

sure, but Ole Miss will stack the box and force him to throw.

You can't just pound it off-tackle when the defense is expecting it (although Les Miles would disagree).
