Impressive vocabulary use...

We know what happened in 2020.

They know what happened in 2020.

I'd love to see some action but unfortunately this seems like it falls into the "free beer tomorrow" category.

I hope I am wrong...

Maybe he can bring back the 5.7L V8!

Elon is a smart dude, but he says a lot of things, some of them are true and some aren’t.

As far as AI goes I don’t know that there is really anything there yet other than some fancy programs that can generate patterns based on the inputs it is given.

Can it replace some entry level data input type jobs? Probably so.

Is it going to fix your car, build a house, or design a complex system on its own? I don’t see how.

I've been happy with my 2019 C7 Z06.

It's the gateway drug to supercars and scary fast even in stock trim.

Pros:
-Mostly DIY friendly to work on.
-Prices coming down since the C7 is older.
-Pretty nice interior, nicer than the C6.
-Later models had cooling improvements and share components with the ZR1.
-Every time I get on it I ask myself how is it legal to sell this to the general public.

Cons:
-Still can be a victim of the AFM lifter failures, expensive to fix before and after failure.
-Body fit and finish is not as great as other cars in this price range.
-GM dealers don't know how to work on it, in general. Even something as simple as changing the charge air coolant results in bewildered stares from service managers and techs at even large GM dealerships.
-Interior is held together with dozens of plastic clips that are apparently one-time use only.
-All accessories bear the "Corvette tax" even for the same part on a Camaro.

yep, and he is going to try to get all of it.

Yeah, I mean he, and the University, signed a contract.

The "morality clause" is very open-ended and subjective, so LSU is going to be taken to task for that I would think if they use that to try and reduce the payout.

Accepting a lump sum instead of a progressive payout is a different kind of negotiation.

Can the new AD please axe the piped in music?

Yes please.

There used to be 3 sounds in the stadium.

1) Announcer
2) Fans cheering
3) Bands playing music.

Firing Woodward was definitely a (politically motivated) mistake.

Where are you people coming from?

Before Landry got involved, damn near everybody on this board wanted Woodward's head on a pike.

Now that Landry got involved (I'll agree it's not a great look for LSU) all of the sudden Woody was the cat's meow?

You wanted Woody gone for giving away the store with shitty contracts for coaching hires? Yes?

These people can't even drive a ground vehicle with any competence.

We're gonnna unleash the general public to fly their cars with visual flight rules?

Count me out.

The guy is a little bit of a douche. Yes, I have dealt with him in person on multiple occasions.

Another managerial mouthpiece that is a product of university politics.

Ex basketball player, claim to fame is his UK experience.

My take is we should have someone for an AD who has actual business sense, not someone developed in the fantasy world of collegiate athletics.

Keep doing the same things with these types, keep getting the same medicore results.
