Moscona said that on his show yesterday. It's an old trope that Ole Miss are the runts compared to LSU. It's kind of a dog whistle. And I'm here for it.

Yes but there is a difference in terms of the players who are already on LSU's team. We are not restocking a bare cupboard like Colorado or Ole Miss were.

And don't forget the strictest and longest covid mandates of any American city. We didn't get the mRNA shots so there was a time when we had to drive to Metairie to go out to eat because we didn't have the vax cards to get into a New Orleans restaurant. It felt like we were living in California.

Yep, she hit all the climate change summits and other left wing junkets around the globe. In lieu of doing her job.

The only silver lining is that her tenure was so bad that it educated a lot of the electorate that we need to elect competence, not a demographic. If not for that I think Oliver Thomas would have won.

Instead in BK's last game millions of Americans could see on the prime time broadcast that BK and his OC didn't know what the other one was doing.

Agree. Human bias in judges and juries is the biggest variable in litigation work. It's definitely true in Louisiana. It's great when you win but absolutely enraging when you lose.

AI judges are fun to think about, but politically that is a pipe dream. I wish our state court system would adopt an ecm/ecf system and decide everything on the briefs the way the feds do. If I never waste another morning of my life at rule day, I'll be a happy man.

Isn't TW just a couple rainmakers with all the equity, and then everyone else is just a glorified associate regardless of title? I know people who have worked there and left. That's what they told me.

McGlinchey has had problems for a while. Arguably since the 90s, if you know your law firm history. I do suspect going overboard on DEI had a role in this. Also, the mention of collections problems suggests a lot of high volume insurance work with third party AI billing applications cutting bills way down. There is going to come a day of reckoning on that when policy holders realize their counsel is totally hamstrung with ridiculous billing "guidelines."

I think this Ole Miss team, as a whole, was a lot better than most people in the country thought, myself included. Many were caught off guard by them beating UGA on Thursday night, including Las Vegas.

Just be thankful that the people we did land from Ole Miss are the people who put this team together and coached it. I'll take that over two skill position players we would only have for one year anyway. Especially with respect to QB, when has a Lane Kiffin team ever had a QB who was not productive? Kiffin will find someone who fits his scheme and coach him up. Last year at this time no one had ever heard of Trinidad Chambliss.

re: The Superdome

Posted by Tall Tiger on 1/2/26 at 4:23 pm to glassman

I have. I was there last night. You are right, it is nice. And that was my point: the Saints and the state have spent hundreds of millions improving it -- $560 million in just the last renovation alone, but there is no way to fix its architectural limitations. The Plaza has bad sight lines and always will, and all seats are generally too far from the field. No amount of new club spaces and cosmetic upgrades are going to fix that.

I grew up going to the Superdome every fall. I have tremendous nostalgic attachment to it. But I am also not blind to reality; it is obsolete and is an albatross when it comes to New Orleans and the state staying competitive in football, no matter what level.

Posted by Tall Tiger on 1/2/26 at 4:02 pm to Coonass

The Dome will soon be the second oldest stadium in the NFL behind only Lambeau Field. It has held up well over time, and was the best of all the domes of its era, but there is no question it is functionally obsolete. The multi purpose architecture was designed to attract a MLB team that never came. That is why the Plaza is so far from the field and does not have great sight lines. If it weren't for that issue, I would be fine keeping it as is.

The Dome is in the right spot geographically, but yes, it does need to be replaced. If you tallied up all the renovations in the last ten to fifteen years, you probably could have afforded to do that -- demo the Dome, rebuild a modern structure and have the Saints play at Tiger Stadium for a year or two in the meantime.

It's a late night game. Just drive over the day of, check into the hotel, have an early dinner, go to the game, then drive home the next morning. You don't have to find much else to do. This is why they sent LSU to Houston in the first place -- short trip.
