If fans today could take a time machine to tailgating in the mid 80's they would be shocked at the casualness of the entire concept. Other than the lot directly in front of the stadium, you parked anything with wheels puling anything imaginable where ever you wanted for free.

There used to be small triangle of grass median where Nicholson and Nicholson Extension split. Some dude named The Flea and his podnah's squeezed two motor home and a few cars on it every game. By 4pm Flea was shirtless in his Tiger slippers on top of the RV with a trumpet and open flame grill. There was no east upper and there were RVs and cars lined up on Powerhouse Lane (road along east side of stadium) not 20 feet from the gates and the visitors buses. The ROTC lot on south stadium and Nicholson was 90% RV's. The fixture RV with the ceiling fan on a swing arm is a tradition that goes back to them hanging the fan in the actual oak tree next to them. That said, most tailgates was a family with an open trunk, foldable chairs and a nerf football. There was no TAF, no planned pregame activities, and no team walk down Victory Hill. The players just walked over from Broussard in small groups. The band marched over from the band hall, but the only people there were the tailgates along the route.

Then again, we were only paying Arnsparger $150K a year and the stadium was 20% smaller with zero luxury suites, much less a club level. The only thing you heard over the PA was a quick recap after each play, a license plate number for a car with their lights on, and the occasional page for doctor number such in such to call his office.

It’s not the 1980’s anymore. Time to move on.

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

Curious what coaches do when changing jobs?

Nothing. They are in that position because of things they have done. They might evolve over time, but Kiffin didnt wake up day 1 in BR and think damn they have me figured out time to break out the triple option.

As for the one game we play Ole Miss, he might add a few wrinkles to frick with Golding (and Golding will do the same on his end) but again, it will be very recognizable to his last five yrs.

look at this install guide

And where the frick were you in 2016 when, as a custom home builder constructing my own home, I terminated my first ever network cable on Day 1 after massively under planning (it cant be stated enough how poorly designed this thing was) and over installing first ever central network closet with floor rack, two 48 port unmanaged (LOL) switches, 12 zone Chinese branded whole home audio, Sony 7:2 home theatre system, 16 cam Poe system with NVR, intercom (90% of time and effort spent trying to make this homemade bitch of a brick be functional), 100% hardwired Honeywell piece meal security system (and why would I want to connect actual cameras to an actual security system??), bleeding edge mesh routers (thank God I planned a back haul system), and a half dozen or so HOT arse transformers (all next to each other, genius) to power the 1/4 mile of low voltage rope lighting and a large HOT tower CPU as server. All of which came online on Day 366 (because frick that one year self imposed deadline to be done with this shite)

I will pat the builder side of me on the back for one thing though that I have since incorporated into every build. A ceiling to floor chase duct of some sort along side rack to run HVAC with various small registers for direct venting at server and rack components. Then again, 10 years later, I'm still painfully slow at terminating CAT cable and have yet to come up with a decent labeling system at rough in wire pull, or convince an electrician to not frick up my poor system. As for over installing, I pulled over 15K feet of network wire alone. In a 1850 sq ft second home.

EDIT
And I am totally stealing that install guide, well done.

Just answer, scream into the phone and hang up.

When he is in town, I hand it to my 4 yr old grandson who tells them he wants to buy all their CD's...followed by SEE DEAZE NUTS!! They usually hang up but he still spends the next 5 minutes telling them HE has nuts and he saw them when he just peed outside and how much he likes waffle house sausage and that snails sleep for three years. I think his record for keeping them on the line was 45 seconds when Arjun called to "fix his computer virus. He told him he had a tablet and Arjun said it had a virus too. He said "OH NO I am gonna get it,, be RIGHT back" and then he heard a helicopter fly over we hauled arse outside to see it.

I could ignore/block the call but how the frick would I have ever learned about the snail thing? Next visit, I'm having him go with "me Chinese me play joke" .

They are solid clubs, and probably the best choice for someone relatively new to the game, and imo hands down the best choice for someone looking to upgrade there first set, especially when considering cost.

No idea why you are getting the downvotes.

I think you are dead on saying that expectations for September should be somewhat tempered for Leavitt and the offense. He is now on his third team in four years. He did miss spring ball, is coming off surgery, and with the exception of Trey'dez Green, he and every one of his receivers is in a new town, on a new team with a new coach and new system. They are playing three ranked teams, two of them top 10, and even Tech isn''t a typical cupcake.

Throw in a fanbase that is expecting immediate results and yeah, I think his path to immediate success is indeed a tough one.

That said, I do believe we will have better play at QB and be a better offense than at the beginning of t last season, and we will see a marked improvement as the season progresses from him and the offense.

Did I ever tell you guys about the worst blow job I ever had? It was fricking awesome!

Told by Dan Pastorini tin the mid '90s to a group of us playing bouree at 3 am at an ice house near the old dragstrip in Baytown TX.

Drove down to Galveston to check out surf conditions which were definitely ripping.

Worst of it so far was a pretty intense first band yesterday around 6 pm. 30 mph steady for an hour with a few gusts over 40. Winds were ENE and ripped 3-4 ft waves down west bay. Luckily it came thru at dead low tide so minimal pier/boathouse damage from the surge. Nothing approaching that since.
