re: Record number of LSU applicants, most from out of state

Gee I wonder if the tripling of applicants has anything to do with lowering standards to test optional holistic applications?

Of course you are going to have more applicants now. However there's no way they are higher quality now. All you did was lower the bar.

I assume there has to be some percentage to meet of incoming freshmen who are Louisiana residents. Anybody know what that is?

The other night on TV there was a master distiller competition on TV. It was three people competing against each other with judges to pick the winner. Kind of like baking shows or Forged in Fire. I don't know how they were able to do that show if it's illegal. It was pretty interesting. The judges were guys from the moonshiners show.

That's a question I had.

Also, how inept is the sheriff? He just let the detective do whatever the hell he wanted.

How did the investigation end with Lexie being killed? The husband was still alive correct? Wouldn't his lawyer try to bring up the fact that Lexie possibly had alibis for the murders?

Does the 90-day window infringe upon her rights as an adult?

what if she sues the state for infringing on her rights as an adult? She was graduated and 18. Why can the state set an arbitrary 90 day limit on her and dictate to her who she can and cannot sleep with as long as that person is an adult also?

so very sorry for you. Losing a child is a terrible thing. Be there for your wife and son.

I guess I am just getting old but neither of the acts set up for Tiger Stadium hold any interest for me.

I guess rock bands don't tour anymore. Or I guess they don't have the following necessary for a venue like Tiger Stadium.

No. Bought a Tiguan for my daughter. It burns oil and smokes profusely after idling for a while. Volkswagen refuses to admit there is a problem. It seems that the engine in the tiguans is known for this and they just change their definition of normal oil consumption in order to not have to replace engines. It's all over the Internet. I'll never own another one and I'll probably get rid of this one

i remember seeing Karate Kid II at the theater on Essen. I think it was still around until the mid 90s.

I remember seeing ET at the LSU theater. That was still around until the mid 90s as well.

That is crazy. The only movie I ever remember seeing at Cortana was King Kong lives. I think it was for my 13th birthday. My mom took me and it was my choice. Lord knows she didn't want to see that.

I'm not sure what that place is. But that seems like a risky business venture. I wish them luck. It is directly in the middle of Twin Peaks and Small Sliders
