For some context, I'm 30 and didn't get to appreciate what was to come with Saban when he was hired.

Compared to that time, how does this feel?
We're watching Nick Saban Jr. with these hands :lol:

Doesn't it feel good to win again?

That's all. Nothing else, feels good man! :geauxtigers:

It's going to be a blowout in BR.

Texas.

Hype.

LK is viewed as a brash and flashy offensive guru. Big teams think his hype will immediately bring high profile recruits and then the logic follows as "if LK can do that at Ole Miss, he could dominate at a real football school. "



.... And? The logic follows.

It’s like the stars are aligning

Forget about the "insiders," but if you think about it, this all sounds really logical:

1. He's looking to win. If it's between OM, Florida, and LSU, it's LSU by a mile. Total instate talent and a fantastic NIL deal. I'm sure he loves the thought of that.

2. LSU with a great offense scares the shite out of the rest of college football. They know what can happen. Lane is going to get that on a consistent basis. On GameDay, it's obvious why they don't want Lane to come here. We'd be contenders every year.

3. Saban has got to be involved in some way. I have no sources, but his comments on GameDay tell me he told Lane that it'd be a good career move to go to LSU. Plus, Saban might love the idea of being the guy who gave coach rehab to the coach who would reinvigorate the program. Saban built a legacy here and getting Lane here would be the icing on the cake.

4. It's also getting the band back together if Orgeron and Coach Frank are on staff.

5. It's such a fit. LSU is loud, boisterous, and our fans talk trash win or lose. What better than to have the troll in chief as your HC?

I've been wrong before, but this feels different. I think we got our guy.

This isn't adding up. Why would he do that when he already said there's no reason to think he wouldn't be coaching the Egg Bowl?

Lawsuit is NOT about a breach of contract


Correct, kind of. People ask for declaratory judgments to ask for a court to outline the rights and remedies of a contract. To get these, you need to have a justiciable controversy. The controversy is whether BK is subject to the liquidated damages clause. I think this is one of the rare instances where a dec action is appropriate.

quote:

First, LSU is paying Kelly as per the contract. There is no allegation that LSU has not paid or has refused to pay. Legally, this lawsuit is for a "Declaratory Judgment" to determine the relationship status between Kelly and LSU. Practically, it is a bullshite move designed to move the needle via social media.


Just objectively incorrect. See paragraph 42 of the complaint. It's a dispute about whether a liquidated damages was triggered because of BK's termination without cause. If LSU's legal position is that they can "convert" this termination into one with cause or that BK wasn't even terminated, that argument isn't going to go far.

Here to add that if you're doing Amex Platinum, make sure to get the Charles Schwab version - You can convert your points into cash back at a rate of 1.1 cents per point (10% boost) and you get all of same benefits/credits as the regular Platinum card. Add in the Amex Gold as a point driver if you want.
Live look at our defense stepping on the field:

Amex Platinum Charles Schwab - Get the Charles Schwab version, because you can redeem points at 1.1 cents per point to your brokerage account (think of it as a quasi cash back card with rewards potential). Delta is a direct travel partner if you're looking to book rewards flights.

It's a great rewards card for travel with a 5x point multiplier for flights and hotels booked through Amex Travel.

If you take advantage of the credits, it's a good bang for your buck:

This is assuming you can take advantage of most of the credits, but the AMEX Trifecta is still the best in the game:

AMEX Platinum Charles Schwab - cash out AMEX points at 1.1 cents per point up to $10k per year with limitations thereafter. 5x points for AMEX Travel and flights. Thus, effective 5.5% cash back with CS Platinum for those categories).

Stack with AMEX Gold - 4x points for restaurants and groceries up to limits (effective 4.4% cash back with CS Platinum for those categories).

Also stack with AMEX Blue Business Plus - 2x points for all purchases up to $50k in purchases (effective 2.2% cash back).

Finally, stack with Rakuten, which you can get cash back via AMEX points.

The interesting part is that Charles Schwab doesn't report AMEX to Charles Schwab Roth IRA conversions as "contributions." It's been discussed and debated extensively (with Charles Schwab even sending a letter to the IRS defending their position) ( Reddit) and make sure to consult your CPA about this. But, if it works, it could be another mini back door Roth IRA that you can use to get around the income and contribution limits - You can use the AMEX points you received from all three cards. Even if you don't use this strategy, you can cash out your AMEX points at the 1.1 cent per point into your taxable brokerage or your bank account.

I got married in the Strand, so I'm biased but it's a great place for Mardis Gras. And this part is nice.
Little Woodrow's on Shepherd is the LSU bar. Midtown location is fun too.
"I love you back" no accent :lol:
