Is there any reason to post Matt Walsh until he has something meaningful to say? He’s basically just doing political pissing match. He’s not breaking info or providing good analysis.

Wonder what the show of hands will be like for today’s promotion.

Each candidate trying to say that another is more qualified.

Star Wars episode 1 was the worst. I believe the soundtrack came out like two weeks before the movie. And contained a song called "The Death of Qui-Gon“.

ETA - they should have called it Qui-Gone.

That’s what I fear. Oh well will finish season 1 and see how much more I’m up for. But won’t necessarily stick with it.

Don’t want to read this thread for fear of spoilers. Just stared this one Netflix. 2 episodes in. I see it’s 8 seasons and have concerns that a show starting so promising was then hijacked by producers wanting to milk seasons. It’s hard to see how the current storyline could possibly go more than a year or two.

Does the show stay good? Does it jump the shark or otherwise become about milking seasons rather than a good story well acted?

They went out of the way to paint her as a nice person

Spoke with Dunk a few times. Cheered for him etc.

You got to know somebody. They have to be tight enough with their float Lt. to get you on. That’s about it.

Same is true if most of the parading krewes that are of any value/esteem.

Live south of Claiborne, east of Carrollton and West of Napoleon and he will be fine. Outside of there case by case basis. The area itself is fine. Tulane PD has jurisdiction over the area (1 miles from campus) so that is who he needs if he needs someone. Yankee women live there and have no issues so as long as your son is that capable then he won't have a problem.

Believe he will have to live on campus now for the first 2-3 years.

Loyola is fine. Had several good friends attend. There will be a decent bit of local kids as well as out of Towners. It’s got some good programs. Some teachers are great, some less so. With Tulane right there and the park there are lots of young people around.

Couldn’t finish season 2. Characters are too dumb. Storyline not well executed.

re: Just looked at all-time CWS titles because of a Texas fan. USC 12 LSU 8

not really, they owned the70s, which leads right up to just before Skip got here, and which is where most of you whippersnappers think college baseball began, I was on LSU teams in the 70s when it was absolutely nothing at LSU, our coach was a football equipment supervisor and car salesman, you can’t ignore what they did just because it doesn’t fit your fairy tale

You kind of make his point with the car salesman details. Those USC titles were when no one cared about the sport. No one invested in it. There was no competition. By the time skip won his first title there were a decent number of teams competing. By the end of skips tenure every SEC team was trying to build a winner. Most of the ACC and Big 12 too.

Easy to win when no one else cares. Hardee when everyone is shooting for it.

No capital gains in 401k. However when you retire, assuming you work at xom, there is potential for net unrealized appreciation. Isn’t appropriate in every situation but could be helpful.

My only problem with this masterpiece is why are so many bad guys shooting at his feet? He’s on the same level with them and bullets chewing up ground around him instead of trees behind him. Classic 80s issue we still see sometimes today.

Compelling as in copying what someone else is doing? They just captured the Saturday night spot and used bead distribution company to make sure they had plenty of throws to create the branding.

I enjoy both krewes and while Brennan was instrumental it was over a dozen business leaders who created Bacchus. And they changed Mardi Gras for the better. Brennan was just at the head.

The two krewes are very different. And that’s a good thing.
