Like I said in another thread, their OL and run game are awesome. Their D also looked good, but putting them in the same category as last year’s Indiana seems very premature. I don’t know if Pribula and the pass game can win for them if they run into a team that can stuff, or at least control, their run game.

Yeah, I picked up on that pretty quickly after making that post.

We don’t want ghetto trash on our campus. Ghetto trash has destroyed every other fricking thing in Louisiana and now it’s coming for our school.

Ok, I get it now. I haven’t been to a game in person in several years, so I’m not as aware of that problem as many of you are.

The type of person on campus openly smoking weed is not who we want around. It’s trashy no matter how you cut it. Take gummies if you must.

My post wasn’t intended to be an endorsement for weed on campus, but an indictment of the historical acceptance of alcohol consumption in mass volumes.

The alcohol part is even treated broadly as a badge of honor among LSU fans. I just think that part is hypocritical. FTR, I’ve gotten piss drunk at many LSU games, though I’ve never driven after, and I’ve never used any weed products there.

We celebrate binge drinking until you stumble into the stadium, a flask of whiskey during the game, then a drive home.

For the love of God, though, no weed on campus.

Battery powered tools: Ryobi vs. Kobalt

Posted by High C on 8/31/26 at 12:53 pm

Looking for personal experience because they seem pretty even in my research. This is what I’ve found:

Ryobi:
One+ system allows battery use on a much broader range of tools than Kobalt.

Kobalt: generally more powerful with a better warranty (5 years vs. 3 years).

Both are made in China/Asia, but both are also highly rated and inexpensive. I’m not a DIY, always in the shop guy. I just want something that works well when I need it and is adaptable. Links are for blowers that I’m considering to get started with.

Kobalt

Ryobi

Home sweet home. Every other division leader in MLB is double digit games above .500 at home. YFPHA? 33-35 entering tonight’s clash with the AL Central leading White Sox. Home is where the L is.

OL and run game looked awesome. Hard to tell if Pribula can lead them to wins if teams start stacking the box.

I get the frustration, and I agree with you, but let’s not pretend that this is happening at a very high rate. How many Easton Royals are out there?

All of the things that are disfiguring college football started small. Just a case here and there, and look where we are now.

What if you score a touchdown then cover your nose area while trying to fan the stank off that thang?
