Lafayette has played second fiddle to BTR because of the capitol being in BTR and Lafayette not having good statewide leadership. That is why LC and Shreveport have freeway bypass loops and Lafayette does not. Lafayette does have a decent history of good local leadership.


And when I use the bypass/ loop here in BR oh wait s second……..

So we are first fiddle and we get stuff and Lafayette can’t????

BR has always gotten screwed by the highway dept.

It's hilarious that the same people who obsess over Russia's rate of advance were creaming their jeans over Ukraine gaining 37 sq km


You are exactly right. The guys who bragged on Russia getting 50 square miles a month and the guys who said so what have now flip flopped.

Key Takeaways
Russian President Vladimir Putin is attempting to posture himself as a peacemaker and potential mediator between Iran and the Gulf States amid the ongoing US-Israeli operation against Iran.

Iranian threats against vessels transiting through the Strait of Hormuz are causing significant spikes in global oil prices which, if sustained, could reverse over a year of declining Russian oil revenues.

US allies and partners in the Middle East should learn from Ukraine’s years of experience defending against almost nightly large-scale Russian missile and drone strike packages, including some comprised in large part of Iranian-origin attack drones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia will shift its long-range missile and drone strikes target set to include Ukrainian logistics and water infrastructure going into Spring 2026.

Russian forces advanced in the Slovyansk and Pokrovsk directions.

First of all - I don't think that's true - second of all I didn't say it was for me I say I could see that one stretch being a challenge at night for one who's never driven it. There is even a turn in that stretch where the speed limit is actually reduced. Lot's of anger on this - road rage is real though.


There are stretches of Highland that are particularly difficult at night. There are entrances to side streets that aren’t illuminated and are hard to find. People come in and out of subdivisions and their driveways up and down Highland. Then there are commercial areas scattered through there.

45 is fine when the traffic is light, but when there’s traffic it’s better to slow down than rear end someone trying to find Providence.
If this proves out and this new trend continues then Russia is in big trouble.

They need to be carefully watched and they may do anything to save their asses.

I bet UCLA has great facilities, all chair back seats, a super batter’s eye, fresh nachos and hot dogs. I bet their baseball team gets all the NIL.

Whether you want to think it's some kind of massive affront on free speech or what not, have any of you listened to the show lately? It's pretty terrible.


I only listen to 104.5.

The morning show has gotten worse and worse. Most mornings I tune to something else. I could care less which movies and songs the crew liked in high school. I want to hear about LSU and sports.

The noon show with exceptions has evolved into a gambling show. I like listening to Hanny discuss sports, and I like Ott jumping in but he can be rude and aggravating. I only listen when he lets Hanny go.

Hunt does well in the worst time slot. He sticks to sports and does a decent job.

On the drive home Moscona can be good, but he’s all over the place. They have so many commercials and when Moscona keeps repeating his point over and over I flip the dial to a national show on XM.

How he gets to the CWS amazes me.
I read the article and it left me with a lot of questions.

It said boosters couldn’t buy out BK because the state is obligated, but they went on to say boosters help buy out Orgeron.

It also said we just got 70+ million in revenues from the SEC distribution which was about 20 million dollars more than the previous year. That offsets the revenue sharing that begins this year.

They also talked about a large surplus put together over time.

I didn’t understand why they are short 30 million when the BK buyout is only about 10 million per year.

It is a very long article and very confusing.
The Gymnastics program is very strong. Great attendance. Great team.

What are they charging for tickets? It seems like they could charge a good price depending on location, etc.

So why not use that strategy elsewhere.
Now the Iranians will target their dentists.

When this passed I bet folks didn’t know the tax would be placed on LSU concessions.

I wonder if LSU tickets get taxed too as part of this EDD?
