All is well. Chicken just had a flight land at IAH with a dozen H1Bs fresh from new delhi to keep this place going


Going a little cheap here. Should have went to Mumbai. They have a larger network. Pay for a dozen and get a couple of dozen. You may have a few good ones.

Politics. Backed the wrong candidate for governor. Also, don’t give out 10 year guaranteed contracts.
LSU fans are like waiting on the Apollo 13 to make re-entry. Fast forward to 3:00 mark

Apollo 13 Re-Enrty
One of my favorite games also. Sat in the Upper Southwest. The stadium was rocking.
Personally, I don't want Kiffin because of this type of scenario. Every time a big school has a vacancy his name will appear, and LSU would have to give a raise and extension.

For this hypothetical scenario, I think you put in clause he can't go to an SEC school If he does, he has to repay the remaining sum of his contract. This won't fly but you have to CYA.
My family of 4 will be there. Only get 7 a year. Doesn’t matter the record I am there cheering.
I saw that too. We were wanting to see the replay but they never showed.
I will be there. I was at every game during the Curley years. I’m about to give up going to the games though. Has become more of a hassle than it’s worth.

Yeah i mean i know the last two teams are subpar but this bench looks crazy. All the freshman look really good too.


The last couple of years they played for stats. No passing when going to the goal. So far this year, everyone is getting involved. More shooters than in past and seems like more trust among players. I like what I see but let's see how they handle a tough opponent. Playing at Duke in Dec will be a good test.

re: Home run hire

What is a homerun hire? Let's look back on previous hires.

Nick Saban- Not a homerun hire at the time-Won a national championship
Les Miles-Not a homerun hire at the time. Won a national championship and played for another
Coach O-Not a homerun hire-won a national championship
Brian Kelly-Some said this was a homerun hire. Was definitely a big name with success. Fired after 3 1/2 seasons.

So, which direction would you go? Give me a young hungry coach that demands physicality.

It was the mega contracts with mega buyouts


it was political. Woodward supported Landry's opponent just like Graves. Don't make an enemy of Landry.

Use downtown as parking. Have a pick-up and drop-off location. People can use bars for tailgating and food.

1. Would need several busses to transport
2. Use a dedicated route to get busses back and forth (maybe River Road)

This is done at UCLA. Parked in Old Town and too the bus in. After the game, they had a route for busses. Bus line was long, and we waited maybe 10 minutes. Need a place for people to park that don' t have a place to tailgate or don't want to go out too early. This could also help downtown restaurants and bars.

Nashville is a neutral site. You can’t just roll into Tuscaloosa and knock on Saban’s door without drawing attention


When they interview, it will be in secret location. Definitely not in a city the coach is located. Would be on a "recruiting" trip so they can meet in an undisclosed location.

I get Jeff’s point about LA taxpayers having to foot the $53Mil buyout if the boosters decide not to pay. That’s a terrible deal.


I really think Woodward had secured the buyout after the Vandy game. It was just a matter of time to pull the plug. I think the A&M debacle accelerated the plan.

The only way Kelly leaves after this year is if LSU wins out and he gets the Penn St job. It’s a win win.

My parents let us wander campus when we were 8-12 and go bowling in the union. It’s a certain demographic fricking things up.


Same here 8-12 age range.. There was a pizza place on the north side of campus with a couple of arcade games. My parents were by the old Alex box and me and a friend would walk to the pizza place. Have a slice of pizza and play games. this was the early 80's though. We would meet them in the seats of the stadium.

I park by the band practice field. Previous years, I had no issues getting home. They quit opening the gates on the north end to allow traffic to get out. It took an hour and fifteen minutes to get out the lot.

Don't know what was happening on Highland, but the cops made everyone turn to go through the hood with no cops directing traffic. Took me almost 2 hours to get to Central. Add all the weed smell and I am about to call it quits going to the games.
I worked on a project there about 15 years ago. Loved the area. Was offered a job but couldn't afford to live close to the refinery. Didn't want to travel over an hour each way.

re: Paper tickets?

I still get my season tickets printed. Just a preference for me.
This is the first game I remember attending. I was 8. Yes, I’m old.
I am ready for Christ to return. It will be glorious.
