Where were you in 99? What was your life like then? I turned 11 that year. This year has always stood out in my memories, a lot happened around that time. I remember well the Y2k scare, the approaching millennium, all the popular bands and movies of the time. My family got our first computer that year. The Internet was still a very new thing for me. Remember those America Online CD’s where you had so many hours of free Internet access? I actually think we had gotten some from K-Mart. I also took a trip to see my bio Dad’s side of the family on the East Coast that I still remember to this day, it was a special, rare visit. Anyway, let’s hear some memories.

I know we’ve all done our fair share of crapping on Brian Kelly. I thought, now that he’s gone, to think of the good times while he was here, although there weren’t too many. What would you say is the highlight of Brian Kelly’s tenure at LSU?

Gotta be beating Bama in 22’ right?

Has anybody here met Todd Graves? If so, what is he like in person? I think he’s a pretty awesome success story, going from a dream to a 22 billion empire. Also, he worked his butt off to make that dream a reality.

So, anybody got any Graves stories?

Jamming to STP this morning. Man, what a great band. RIP Scott.

Please share your memories of the band. Favorite album? Did you see them live? When did you first hear them?

We all know it’s a copycat league, I’m just surprised other teams haven’t tried it. It’s annoying if you’re the opposing team, but it’s very effective in short yardage. Or have other teams tried it?

The former Syracuse basketball great Lawrence Moten has passed away at 53.

Former Bengals and Lions RB Rudi Johnson has passed at 45. Sad news today.

I have always wondered why the Eagles don’t have the Eagle head on their helmets instead of the wings? It just feels backward with the wings being on the helmet and the Eagle head being on the upper arm/shoulder.

Damn, I didn’t realize how mobile Ty Simpson is. He can really escape pressure. Reminds me a lot of Bo Nix.

Is your biological father still around?

Unfortunately, my bio Dad passed away in 2020. I had not seen him since I was about 6. We got back in touch a couple of years before he died, and talked a few times on the phone. Never got that final face to face though, and I’ll always wish we could have.
