May just not be meant to do both of those things at the same time.


I have a club car precedent, and was definitely not designed for that. Well, the front end is not designed for that. Second, the steering mechanism may be loose as well. I bought my cart new with a lift installed. with traditional A-Arms. The issues started when I went with a new motor, controller, and battery and increased max speed to 32 mph. The jerkiness you described coupled with a lot more play and less control of the steering and ride in general. Basically it had an innate desire to put my arse in the ditch

I ended up installing this front end which improved steering, stability and turning radius dramatically. It is fairly new design for SGC and is different than traditional A-Arm front ends as it uses a coil over shock design. It also greatly smoothed at the ride at higher speeds.

Very good customer service so I ordered direct from them instead of going thru a dealer.

They do not. Barring anything from out of the blue, there is nothing morality wise, Kelly did to cause damage to LSU's brand/image. If the man had an affair, they have to prove the affair existed prove it damaged LSU's image. They will not be able to do this, but for shits and giggles lets assume they do.

Kelly's lawyer will then present the numerous publicly available documents and correspondence concerning Les Miles' conduct with student workers and ask the very valid question, why did we not firs Miles for cause and why did we continue to allow him to coach. They will then drop subpoena on LSU for all documents related to this which are not publicly known. All of this will be in the public arena as we attempt to convince a new HC to come here,

The worst thing possible LSU could do in this shite show is to die on the mountain of an extramarital affair being grounds for a moral clause.

re: Green Fishing Lights

Posted by Basura Blanco on 11/10/25 at 11:40 pm to
Underwater green lights are cool to have as they bring in a lot of fish that you can easily see as they get back lit by the light. The fish can be caught, but you have to be very stealthy and its usually only one every 30-45 mins as they immediately get skittish. Anyone complaining about them is not worth acknowledging. They are less invasive imo than landscaping lights.

Overhead white/clear spot lights are the best to actually catch fish under and catch them consistently for a long stretch. They are absolutely hell on neighbors across a canal or pond, even at great distance. I am on a bay front and us and neighbors have them on frequently and you dont notice them. Go by a few hundred yards away in a boat and its like being on stage.

I have only encountered overhead green lights a few times buy they are getting more popular. Imo, they aren't an issue but they are fairly bright and glaring and I can understand people getting annoyed especially if no one else but you have them on and hey are directly in the line of fire. I have been told they are also not as productive for fishing as either of the other types as they don't penetrate the water column that well, but that's anecdotal.

My wife would agree.
Its fricking amazing LSU football has been as successful as it has been the last 25 years. Politics in La is already a sport in itself, but the BOS at LSU takes it to a whole new level.

I love LSU and LSU football and history says we will likely hire a coach who will have us winning (and probably winning big occasionally). If it happens, it will be with the state and local government, BOS and LSU admins doing stupid shite like this every step of the way.

He can still be a douchebag, and say insightful things


At the risk of offering a cool story bro.....I was overserved at the Sunday Tenn game this year and had seats behind the plate nearer the Tenn dugout. My wife will attest I am way too loud when I speak in any environment, much moreso in a hot as hell, gin fueled blowout of a bunch of chirpy softball types who bitch incessantly.

On this particular day, while certainly obnoxious, I kept the language clean. And according to the gin, I was also witty, charming. and a joy to be around. Which lead me to basically have a running one way dialogue with Vitello from the first pitch. By the 5th, my wife had retired inside the club level for distance from me and air-conditioning. This was the equivalent of taking the training wheels off a kids bike. Not proud, but I didn't lose sleep either. When they were in it early the loudest twenty people in the Box were the Tenn bench guys yelling like a bunch of kids on the playground, so that didnt help. So after a shite ton of mound visits by TN and three plus hours of this, the game is pretty much decided in the 8th, im beginning to lose my voice but not motivation and after ANOTHER mound visit, for the at least 20th time, I yelled at Tony to stand up as he stood on the top dugout step. Only this time I added Jay, loan him your step stool. Vitello bends over laughs and nods.

After the game I am lingering talking with friends, and he comes within a few feet of us near the backstop and I tell him something along the lines of good game coach have a safe trip back to Knoxville, he glances over and says ANYWHERE is better than listening to your fricking arse all day and grins.

I hate the little fricker. But I respect him. Even moreso after he was able to give it back a little to a loudmouth moron after getting a beatdown and losing a series.

I can tell you already MVB is not an LSU starting caliber QB at this time


That may indeed be accurate, but I am 100% certain you can not tell for certain that is the case if the kid never gets a week of prep as the starter, starts a game, and plays more than a half. And even then its too small of a sample size.

He has sense of urgency, even between plays, is a better than average runner, and throws a an average mid-range ball with decent if not great velocity. His accuracy is not bad for a guy who came off the bench with little to no practice reps, much less game reps, with the guys on the field.

Obviously, if that's all he has, he isn't the guy, I wish to hell he were given a start over a mentally and physically beat down Nuss to prove us wrong.
There is no way in hell Woodward was the sole person doing the negotiating. The only thing dumber would be to say Kelly did the negotiating on his end. Its $100M deal with a public university people. Jesus

Iim starting to channel my 10 yr old self who loved the mid 70s NFL of great defense heavy run, tough to pass low scoring games.

Got a ways to go, but its not awful. Roll back some of the anti- violence and Im there.

By rule, that was impossible once GB touched the ball

re: MNF: Eagles vs. Packers

GB spec teams players have no idea of the rules here. As soon as GB touched the punted ball, Phil player is free to pick it up with no downside. If he fumbles or is tackled for safety iplay id dead and phil can choose to have the ball ispotted where it was first touched and its philly ball 1st and 10. If its ruled it crossed plane its phil ball 1st and 10 at 20.

I tend to agree with you here, but there is a chance we are both wrong as the kid has yet to get a week of practice as a starter, much less play an entire game, at least at LSU.

And like you said, there is zero reason to start Nuss. Besides if MVB really stinks it up, you can go back to Nuss for the last two games.

They are not quoting anything. At the top of the graph the words "estimated" and "valuations" are what is quoted. I

They don't want to torpedo whatever pro prospects he has left at this point.


What about MVB's pro prospects? Why would Nuss be anymore "due" playing time than him? Besides, Nuss has 22 starts on film. That torpedo has already left the sub,

The goal is to win the next game and the game after etc. And then win games the season after that. The only reason to start Nuss is that you actually think with he gives you the best chance to win the game against Arkansas. Balance that against starting him hurts your chances of winning next year. I like Frank Wilson and like him a lot. But this is really really dumb decision.
You cant be serious. A you tube video from Stats of Football is now the foremost authority on NIL contracts.

This isnt the NFL. These contracts are agreements between two private parties. To my knowledge, not a single NIL contract document to this point has been made public in its entirety, Every single web or print article has insulated themselves from proof by using "speculative" and "estimated value" when throwing these numbers around for clicks and views.

But congrats to a You Tube source with 15K subscribers to be the first in giving us all of these figures in a Youtube video. Figures that have been factually confirmed from, no doubt, reputable sources.

The slide in general is a stupid rule altogether when applied to a ball carrier, especially in college. Just treat it like a normal run. If he slides he is down where his body touched same as a RB/WR. If the defense gives him a shot, penalize them, same as you would any other ball carrier.

Could not agree more. It is the most important position on the field and the most expensive in the portal. His projected status going into 2026 will make all the difference in the world in how we approach the portal.
