Cancer is certainly more brutal physically, but Alzheimer's/dementia is hands down the worst thing possible for a family to have to deal with. Nothing else comes close imo.

I believe they played the opening night.


For some reason I thought it was Hank Jr. or someone really big for the time.

I know George Jones and Merle Haggard played there a month or so apart not soon after they opened.

Two were good but one was truly bad


I was at the really bad one. Coked to the gills, pissed at the world, shaking so bad he couldnt hold on to guitar pic. Went off big time on a band member in lead in to first song. I dont believe he finished first song, longhaired redneck before kicking out a stage light and stumbling off stage. As a 17 yr old drunk off my arse and twenty feet away, a 6' 10" insane ex-con almost stroking out in rage left quite the impression.

Went to three others of his there as well...or maybe it was 3 total. Lot of things happened in that place that I don't remember. And thats probably a good thing. I do remember that a stretch in one show that was just as insane for how good it was in his condition at the time.

Multiply that times 85 (or whatever the hell scholarship limits are these days) and you get a clearer understanding of the results of the last two seasons
quote:

All Of Them Are Hitting Sub .250


With the exception of Dardar. And Yamin. And Simpson. All of whom are hitting over .250

Hell Carraway and Yorke are right at .250 so you were only wrong on five of them. Which gives you a worse average than any of them.

Their pitching coach looks like he is about to put a few hundred gallons of diesel in a Yellowfin.
Thats his game. He does have a damn good eye. Just needs to get back to taking advantage of mistakes

The worst app in existence.


Then increasing the size of the advertising bar and having me reauthenticate my ownership every other day on every device for a service I bought and paid was what drove me to using an IPTV. The gray area of using one gets a little less gray when you put up roadblocks to access a product you have already been paid for and insist on degrading every chance you get.
And Brown makes the baserunning frickery a moot point.

Another facet of the game that has been a weakness on this team. 2023 made up for bad decisions/mistakes so many times it was almost expected, especially with timely hitting.
quote:

Interference needs to be clearly defined


It needs to be clearly eliminated. Its a ridiculous rule, especially at home. 100 years of blocking the plate being in the fabric of the game and we unravel it
Yeah, but pride is rather effective at knocking the shite out of the guy in front of you, not so much on hitting a curve ball.

I get it though, do something....anything....if nothing else, for the sake of change.

quote:

No 52 year old man should be putting himself in a position to fight college frat boys at a game


While I totally agree with the fighting college kids at a sporting event part is 100% ridiculous...I think if you ARE stupid enough to fight, 52 makes more sense than say 30 yrs old. You have likely already cemented the reputation you have earned and been thru those consequences, so it likely will not shock anyone you know. You are less likely to get fired, and more likely to have the means to afford it and any civil action, and you are at a station in life where a night in jail is not the bogeyman it was as younger man.

And if your wife hasnt divorced you by that point, I would imagine beating the shite out of a frat star and a night in jail isnt going to move the needle.

Again, the outfield in Oxford wearing an LSU gamer is a pretty silly hill to die on regardless. shite, the fact we got swept makes it even worse.
quote:

Of course you would.


So do you believe me when I say this....or that I am full of shite and would NOT walk away?? It seems like you REALLY wish I would hit the kid so that you could running back here and scold me? If I misunderstood, my apologies.

quote:

Maybe they can bail you out of jail.


Never needed help getting bailed out of jail before. Then again I have never been in jail (unless Puerto Vallarta in `98 counts)

Now at 57 I find myself giving a lot less fricks and while I would very likely walk away.....I dont want to test that theory on my 4th-5th gin and tonic after 3 hours in that environment. And at 57, my chances of being able to squarely connect with a serviceable jab off of a Sugar Ray bolo have highly dimensioned. So there is that.

And he’s also in jail.


In Oxford MS.

And do not go making assumptions that I am white knighting/applauding his behavior. It was at best, an over reaction and likely an unnecessary over escalation. I only say likely as no idiot (unless you count those on here) would make so many assumptions from a 3 second video and the out of state guy as opposed to the local getting arrested,

But frick it, we are well down that path so I will join the party of spewing unsubstantiated assumptions. The college kids are coddled rich boys who get whiskey courage only in numbers. The dude in jail had enough of their shite, was likely liquored up as well, chose violence (with the quickness he made that choice, I assume he was experienced at doing so) and made a stupid decision. Two wrongs not making a right an all that, but if I have to make a call on who the real villain was in all of this frickery, I am going with the frat stars who thought they were immune to consequences. Neither would be on my Christmas card list, but if I needed help in a bind of any sort, I am calling the moron sitting in jail, not the guy hoping daddy's contact can get him off the law school wait list.

Jose Altuve


At 21, (Milams age) he was already w Astros and hit .275 in a half season. In the first half of that season, he hit over .400 in high A and AA combined, better competition than and all SEC schedule. Its not inconceivable to say he would've hit .500 here and likely been LSU's best position player in history

He would be a lock for the HOF without the scandel and and will likely still make it. And due to his size, he had to hit over .300 every year at every level for four and a half years in the minors to even get called up.

I get that you comparing them on size, but Altuve is an outright unicorn.

And btw, Milam is hitting .266 this season with 2/3 of the games being non-conference,

BK refusing to sit him and rest him vs tech and SELU was peak BK clown shite


There is a plethora of Kelly clown shite surrounding his tenure, but this one is at least plausible.

I mean, he did see Van Buren at practice every day (when he wasn't working on his golf game) and likely thought an injured Nuss is the lesser evil. In hindsight, I am so glad he went the route he did. It is now painfully obvious a checked out Kelly was going to be an 8-4 coach at best, and no better leader than a mid-season interim Frank Wilson.
