They put the Christian in Texas Christian University.
Skip won more. Dale while successful with 2 final fours and about a ten year NCAA tournament streak just didn't win as much.

Both had a lot in common. They both worked tremendously in promoting their programs and building programs. Skip made LSU a baseball school.

They both had substantial outside business interests while coaching. In the latter half of their careers they most likely made more money from outside business than their coaching salary. There are camps but both had outside businesses. Dale's were not as basketball related but he had them. Skip was printing money in the 90s with his camps and other businesses.

But, supposedly Dale made a lot more with his businesses and his attention began to wane. He really started to delegate way too much and put the duties into the hands of people who weren't as good as him.

Just such a weird thing for them to do. You'd think Toronto is such an easy lay up but guess they want to protect the Bills?


Toronto is 100 miles away and Canadian Bills fans are mostly in the Niagara Falls area and East of Hamilton.
A team in Toronto and Vancouver would work. I like the CFL and Canadians like it, but you can have both and figure out a way to do it.

There should be another NBA in Canada as well.
Cops lie and make stuff up. It's getting harder now for them to lie since more of the cars have cameras and they have body cams. They just can't say you crossed a solid line or you swerved. But, it also means that if you did do something wrong they have you.

They can still say they smelled weed or alcohol or you seemed under the influence. It's still very subjective.

You can say "I'm going home or I'm going to Jackson or I'm going to the store." The tricky stuff is when they ask "where have you been." If they have you on camera leaving a place that could get you in trouble you have to be careful.

Never trust a cop unless you need help from one. Many of them are looking for ways to get you in trouble and if they've had a bad day you are really fricked.
I love Indian food at Indian restaurants in the US. In fact this thread has me thinking of Indian for lunch. LOL.

We do need Hindus in India as allies against radical Islam. Hindus seem to get it. Hindu Art is incredible to look at in a way and Christians live in India pretty well compared to how they are treated in some Muslim Countries. So let's not be so harsh on India.

We already did that once. The early 80's were the decade we broke tradition and wore purple jerseys at home. We "moved on" from that when we returned to traditional white at home in the mid '90s


We had to wear purple jerseys at home because at the time the NCAA had a rule that home teams had to wear a color and road teams had to wear white or a lighter color.

Gerry led a push to allow white jerseys if the road team was okay about it.
They are not big enough. You need a metro area of at least 9 or 10 million. New York has three NHL teams spread out over the area with a population of 20 million. Los Angeles has a population of about 12 million and they can support two in NBA, NHL, MLB, and NFL. Chicago has 9 million and two historical baseball teams.

The Bay Area couldn't support two in the NFL and MLB.
Livvy is going to star in a reboot of Baywatch. She will do fine with or without Paul.

re: What's your favorite LSU logo?

1990 to 2001 was the logo when I was at LSU. It's okay. I am partial to logos that have a tiger on them. You would think a consistent tiger logo would be easy to maintain.

I like Sailor Mike because it is the most unique, but something like 1980 to 1989 is better. I like 1972 to 1980, but the tiger head is too round.
I wonder if some schools will run out of jersey numbers. The NFL discourages officially retired numbers, but you can hang banners. The Detroit Lions for example have unofficially retired numbers like 26 for Bobby Layne, 20 Sanders, Sims, and Barney and 56 for Joe Schmidt.

They just don't issue those numbers to players.
This is a bad list with recency bias to the extreme. No team from 1966 made the list. You had three teams that should be on this list.

#1 Notre Dame went 10-0-1 and tied #2 Michigan State 9-0-1 and Alabama at #3 went 11-0.
He is a Hall of Fame member. If you watched football when he played he deserves it. He could rush for 1,000 yards and get 1,000 in receiving. Those are hall of fame numbers.
They made the wrong movie about her. They should have done the origin story. How she also escaped Krypton and was sent to look over Kal El since he was an infant, but her ship went off course for about 30 years and she was in stasis until she landed on Earth and Superman found her and was surprised and emotional about knowing that there was another survivor of Krypton.

Then place her with the Danvers or in an orphanage and have Bruce use his computer skills to give her a birth certificate etc. and some documents proving her existence and or adoption or foster ship by the Danvers.

They you make it about her landing on Earth and discovering what it's like to be an alien with powers and fitting in on Earth as a teenage girl with these powers.

Plop in a great DC villain or even Lex Luthor who becomes enraged about the existence of a Supergirl.

It would have been a great movie like PG or PG-13 with wide appeal that attracts families and superhero comic book movie fans and comic book nerds. It would have been Girl Power with wide appeal.

I also thought the casting was fine. I don't know if a drop dead gorgeous Supergirl works.

and adding a 9th conference game still baffles me.


The 9th conference game and power 4 was due to pressure from ESPN. ESPN isn't paying for LSU and McNeese. Sure we'd get excited and have fun when Utah State game to town, but ESPN wants ratings.
If you had to choose between living in a Muslim, Hindu, or Sikh country you would choose the Sikhs. Sikhs are much more tolerant of other religions. Now, if you put in Buddhist you would choose the Buddhist country out of Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, or Buddhist.

But, seriously Sikhs are better than Muslims.
What about the conference cap at 19? I can see the SEC and B1G wanting to add some teams in the future like Miami, UNC, ND, etc.

I'd love to hear Lane say something like that. He went to high school in Minnesota where his dad was coach of the Vikings.
