re: Pop Houston’s Dad Tweets at Moscona
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 4/16/26 at 10:29 am to purplengold1
I have zero allegiance for Moscona, but I watched the entire segment closely and I thought Moscona was very complimentary of Houston. He addressed his height (5-10 1/2) in a positive way, comparing it to Chambliss height, and other successful QB’s 6’ and under. Overall it was a fair and complimentary segment….and if Houston was actively communicating with LSU that he wanted to sign, that’s a damn good thing and nothing to be embarrassed about.
I think dad was a little off base, but we all think our kids are better than they are, even if they are studs.

re: Anyone else conflicted on feral hogs?
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 4/16/26 at 1:39 am to FAT SEXY
I bought 400 acres in SW MS in 2008 and there had never been pigs here, but like they say there are 2 kinds of counties in MS, those with pigs and those that will have them. I’ve corral trip wire trapped, sniped, and dog hunted pigs on other properties before this, but when they showed up here in 2011, I bought a Jager Pro trap and have caught well over 1200 hogs here (stopped counting at 1200 a couple years ago). I’m on 2 creeks and that’s where they like to be.
I retired in 2017 and became a dealer for Jager Pro. The short story is I’ve seen mass destruction across LA and MS and even though I’ve caught that many on my place where I’ve lived since 2013, I’m still catching them. Caught 16 in past 3 weeks but still have a group of 26 that I’m trying to get on bait and trap.
Bottom line, we need the sodium nitrate poison Glen Guedry has developed at LSU and is supposedly in EPA approval stage for the past 6-7 years and I have no idea why it’s taking so damn long.
Pigs are the fkn devil, terrible for deer herd, wreaking havoc on turkey and quail nests, disease riden (see La State Vet Dr James Lacour’s Presentation on Wild Hogs), no natural predators of any significance, and breed like banshees. Fkem all, eradicate every one, but that will never happen even with the poison. I’m a small government guy, but we do need States to stand up and do more and FWIW, Ag Commissioner Andy Gibson is leading the way in MS. LA needs to catch up.

That’s part of my point; why don’t more people know? Apathy includes people not sharing information, publicizing it, promoting it, asking others to join in commenting, being passionate about what they (should) care about.

I was going to post the link but saw you already had, so thank you.
After the WLF Commission held its vote a few months ago, Rep Joe Orgeron contacted me and said he got my name from the WLF on a list of people who submitted comments to the buffer reduction proposal…..and only 600 people submitted comments. That’s f’d up. The apathy in our state is terrible. If more voters contacted their legislators, it damn sure would make a difference.

re: Was nebraska the juggernaut program when we play them in the sugar bowl in the 1980s?

You’re right….it was fuzzy and I still have my ticket. But it did feel like an arse whooping. LSU was up at the end of 3Q but they couldn’t reach the end zone in 4Q

We went to 1981 Orange Bowl and the Huskers whipped our arse. I was 19 and we stayed at an airport Marriott with many friendly flight attendants and refreshments which minimized the pain.

No Jamar, you were very respectful and I thank you. I’m sorry for the misguided response as I was responding to the man who were slamming my arse lol.

I expected for most to misinterpret my post. Maybe I could have posed it better, but my point was that I haven’t heard CJJ take any accountability for the lack of production from his team this year. Maybe I missed something, but he’s only criticized his teams play on the field.
He’s proved he’s a great coach, but if you don’t think the coaching staff could have done better this year, in recruiting and/or coaching/motivating players, then continue slamming my arse because I can’t help you.

You can argue that it’s partly his assistants, but he’s the head dude; he’s got to be accountable or he’s going to lose credibility. Either they swiffed on recruiting, or (and) they didn’t coach emup. He was obviously great in 23 and 25, but just fess up and take accountability. We will be in the mix asap.
re: LSU WBB - Bella Hines enters transfer portal - commits to TCU

Bella should have gotten a shitload of Flaujae’s minutes which would have resulted in more W’s.
re: Johnny Jones? Cmon.
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 3/29/26 at 9:21 pm to John cocktoasten
If this is accurate, I smell Collis trying to leverage this hire. Johnny played for a great HS coach Dale Skinner, and was coached and recruited by Rick Huckabay at LSU (who was an assistant to Skinner), so he’s from a decent tree, but I don’t like it. For one, Johnny is 64 and on the downhill side of enthusiasm and energy.

I don’t think it was height advantage by Duke. Koval was by far the tallest player on the court when she was in. Knox and Joyner are as tall or taller than Dukes front line. This was about the lack of desire to get the frickin ball. Not about talent, coaching, or height…just desire and Duke had more desire to get their mitts on the ball tonight.
It’s almost impossible to win allowing 20 offensive rebounds
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 3/28/26 at 12:04 am
Yep, 20. That’s not coaching, that’s not talent, that’s pure desire or lack thereof. Johnson and Williams were both 6-15….40% which isn’t terrible but Flaujae’s shot selection was very poor just like it’s been in pretty much every key game this year. And the last play, all Flaujae had to do was square up and play D, don’t go for ball fake…..but she did and overshot her position and left the girl free.

Me and my buddy Scottie Breaud were there on the 40 when we were 36. Scott just passed away last week at 65. He ran hard and went out with his boots on.

I shared your reply with my buddy and he said the same thing:
I noticed this phenomenon the last few days. It’s dead slick where the oil is. Even with a windy chop. Fn weird

LOOP Crude Oil Spill
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 3/17/26 at 10:14 am
This drone video was taken by my buddy in Montegut who is an oyster fisherman. There was hardly no media coverage of the spill until he shared this video and others, and his guys first hand accounts Drone Video of Oil Spill with NOLA and BR media.
LOOP first said it was 12k gallons, then after a couple of weeks I read 31k gallons. It seems like the media coverage is getting more attention to the spill and clean up efforts. Shrimp larvae (on top of water table now) and oyster harvests could be impacted.

Hire a local, well respected (get references from neighbors) forester. He can give you ballpark/market “pay as cut” unit prices. Get ready because hardwood pulpwood is almost nill, and you likely have a bunch of it. It’s around $1/ton to landowner now in MS.
He knows the best buyers in the area, and the loggers they use. The buyer will directly pay him the % fee that you and he agree to.
Your stumpage sale contract will be with the buyer. Make sure that it includes a requirement for him to repair/return all roads to their initial condition or better. If you have hay fields, food plots etc, make sure he doesn’t run equipment or fell trees in those areas. Contract should include a requirement for buyer to provide a bond as security to make sure he doesn’t leave your land a mess. Forester can suggest a $ amount. Your contract should also define what’s to be done with the tops, which will be a shitload of wood. In my experience, best thing to do is leave them where the tree is felled.
Your forester will be responsible for making the call if ground is too wet to work.

re: This is (still) your HC
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 3/16/26 at 9:06 pm to Lucado
In this day and age, there is no excuse for a HC for not promoting your program, both locally, regionally and nationally. What has MM done along these lines? Dale Brown, love him or not, did more without social media that MM did with the world at his fingertips. I obviously don’t know him, but I know his results and they squarely suck.
General Wade is hopefully advancing his flank position toward the Bayou.

Ron and Art were both recruiters, not technical XO and game coaches. Art was Browns “National Director of Recruiting”.
So that’s the reason; my post wasn’t about good recruiters, it’s about good technical and game coaches, neither of which were Abernathy and Tolis.

Documentary on Rick Huckabay
Posted by PlaySomeHonk on 3/13/26 at 7:46 pm
His youngest son is making the doc, which looks pretty good from the trailer (link below).
Trailer for Huckabay Documentary
He’s interviewed some former Redemptorist teammates of mine. The story of him at Marshall was pretty crazy, especially involving Tom Curry.
