re: UFL introducing new rules for this season, including a 4-point field goal

Clown league. Can the rules of football just stay the same for a while?

I disagree. This is what the UFL should be doing. Throw shite at the wall and see what sticks.

Agreed. I was raised an LSU fan and have two degrees from there. I'd still much rather my kids go to aTm than LSU.

re: Determination of number of minimum shots for designing a golf course

Posted by DestrehanTiger on 2/23/26 at 12:44 pm to LSUSportsFan2000

Are you asking what is the minimum 18 hole par for something to be considered a full golf course?

ETA: Just saw this bot's odd question on wetness on the OT. I regret asking my question.

I just googled and it seems like he's not doing well and isn't really in the movie. That's a shame.

Maybe I wasn't paying hard enough attention, but I only saw Tommy, Ada, and a glimpse of the Johnny Dogs. Where is Arthur and the other characters?

Just looked it up. Looks like Arthur is in the cast.

I'll be interested to hear some responses as well. We are going there for our annual golf trip in May. I was kind of shocked at the prices. I figured this would be a cheaper year compared to Sand Valley in 24 and Bandon in 25. We are saving on no airfare at least.

What pros do or don't do on the golf course any given week couldn't have less to do with making the game of golf interesting. The vast majority of golfers do not watch even one minute of professional golf.

Then bifurcate. Give me the best of both worlds. More entertaining golf to watch and more enjoyable golf to play.

I'm kind of surprised at the number of down votes you are getting. I'm for it, and I think it probably needs to be harsher. We are heading towards the Old Course being added to the list of classic courses that can't have tournaments because they are too small. I don't know if anything needs to be done for amateurs and how that transition works, but I'm all for doing something (balls, smaller driver heads, etc.) to reign in the pro game.

The "Razor's Edge": He has described his high-speed game as "living on the razor's edge," noting that while his standard carry is around 320–325 yards, even a "towed" (mishit off the toe) shot can still carry 337 yards.

I like watching Bryson, but I think we need to bring some punishment back to the game if you mishit a club.

Traffic is already terrible out here for being 30 miles from downtown. Maybe the Texans can throw some money towards getting Greenhouse opened up to 290 quicker than they are planning.

Should be a wake-up call to Gary that members don't want to play with him. Although, I imagine at 90 it's difficult to change your ways.

It’s actually pretty wild to see how awful and grainy games from the 90s were when we actually thought they were pretty good resolution at the time.

I could be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that converting the old games to digital distorts the quality a bit. While it was not nearly as clear as today, it wasn't as bad as it appears on Youtube these days.

I wonder if Jack sees Gary other times during the year other than the Masters. I have to imagine he dreads Gary talking his ear off.

I am the same way. Friends was my top show as a kid. It was appointment television for our family. However, I never watch it in syndication like I do most of the shows you mentioned.

On the other hand, Everybody Loves Raymond is rising up my rankings as a dad in his late 30s. I watched it as a kid, and always thought it was ok. Now, I find it to be way funnier. The family dynamic hits home to a much greater degree as an adult.

re: Girl, 4, dies after two women left six young kids in swimming pool to go to a bar

Posted by DestrehanTiger on 2/5/26 at 9:15 am to Bayou_Tigers

I've seen a suggestion that parents bring a wrist band to the pool. Whoever is wearing the wrist band is absolutely responsible for keeping an eye on the kids. You don't turn off until you no longer have the wrist band. It seems like it would've been pretty easy for one of the parents to go to the bar and the other to stay with the kids.

Rory is a weird middle ground for me. I am baffled by the two extreme opinions of him. I don't like him near as much as the media types that seem to hold him up as just under Tiger. They always seem to assume that everyone absolutely loves Rory. On the other hand, I don't hate him as much as social media seems to hate him.
