Played Cornhole for a while in a parking lot on the south side of the Hampton Inn on Van Hooris with some WVUers, they had killer brisket. Walked big loop through campus and stopped at a couple of locals spots, got all the way down to Hope Coliseum (their PMAC) where the LSU RVs were. Hung out there for a while with some pharmacist named George who had a Butt Paste thing going in/around his new shiny toy.

Had box seats for the game so maybe I didn’t get the same treatment if I’d have been amongst the unwashed. Everyone at the game was really nice and happy to see me as a visitor.

At that stadium was the first time I’d seen general beer sales at a regular season CFB. In the suites the alcohol was included but they had some local microbrewery stuff on tap out in the general area and I went out and made a couple of beer runs for that and the crowd folks were really nice.

After the game, walking out it was the same. I don’t recall one a-hole for the whole day. Lotsa really drunk people but nothing confrontational though.

That was meant as a compliment.

That was a large human being.

Had dinner with him and a couple other folks one night.

RIP Adelman, he always seemed like a good dude.

I encountered them on their own turf when LSU played WVU at their place in 2011. Can definitely confirm your statement.
I was there as well and experienced nothing but “thanks for visiting” and invitations to tailgates at the pregame & game.

Maybe I’m just a more relaxed and approachable guy.

Honey Badger was awesome that game. :lsu:

Pictured L, Inspector Morse (of the British detective series “Inspector Morse”) drove a 1960 Mark II Jaguar saloon.



Here’s a ‘63 iteration:







The Mark II model ran from 1960-1967, a 3.8l V-8 engine that would push that heavy slab 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds.

They built about 90,000 of them. There ain’t many survivors.

I’ve seen exactly one in the wild in the US, and it was in Carmel, CA.

"No, who."

It would be like the movie “Ben” except with hamsters.

I just paid $7/gallon at the San Diego airport to fill my rental.
They are hunting over a baited field at those “last chance” rental car gas stations. I love me the convenience of SAN being right downtown, I’ve walked from my downtown hotel with a carry-on to the terminal several times there. (Because I had “San Diego weather” didn’t hurt the decision)

I was in NOVA last week and the gas prices there were on a par with NOLA. I was surprised as its usually 10-15% higher up there.
This issue makes me glad to be a grandfather of kids who are being raised by my kids and their spouses who are well-equipped to handle this nonsense.

I know what my reaction would have been when my first two were ages 7 & 9 to someone putting rainbow recruiting flags out in the neighborhood for kids.

And my kids at ages 7 & 9 knew a lesbian couple through local sports. The women weren’t trying to recruit them to their way of life, it was simply “Lesbian family kid #1” and “Lesbian family kid #2” have two Moms. No discrimination or marginalization, they were mainstreamed without forcing Gay Pride symbols on everyone else.

As an iPhone user, it felt like a lateral move as to capabilities but seamless integration via using the Apple Watch. Mrs Füt (no pics) is still fighting to swim upstream with a Fitbit tied to an iPhone.

I’ve bought her an Apple Watch when I converted about six years ago. It’s still new in-box and she has become really really expert at cussing at Fitbit, Google and Apple.

Battery life sucks with an Apple Watch. No debate. And I always immediately close apps and it still sucks. The watch setting to automatically enable the Low Power mode on it when I run (or any exercise) helps a “bit”.

Good luck in your choice, I think I’d go Garmin if I had to choose another option than Apple.

So, do you have a suggestion or are you only here to lecture people on the proper etiquette when proposing a financial question on a sports forum?
I have paid someone smarter (and, more importantly, wiser) than me about financial matters to mind my investments for the past quarter century plus.

That’s my suggestion to you.

Most folks who act as their own financial advisor have an impulsive fool for a client.

A minority of folks can figure it out and beat a good professional.

Good luck on being the latter.

Hopefully you park lotsa cheese or bands in your bank account.
