When you are driving down the interstate in the right lane doing 60, you should not be pulling over into the left lane to let incoming traffic merge….especially when you then block faster traffic if the left lane.

The point of the access lane is for vehicles to get up to speed so that they can merge with the flow of traffic.

Worse than that was he was black balled for that movie.


No he wasn’t. He headlined a major TV series a few years later, person of interest. He was also the lead on The Prisoner.

Frequency is on of my favorite movies. I like the guy as an actor, but would agree his is kinda one-note which limits his roles.

Coming from an alumni of both LSU and USA (hence the user name), please fix this.

23. EDGE Achilles Woods (South Alabama - Jan 11)


South Alabama has fewer letters than South Carolina which you spelled out above. While you probably aren’t aware of it is South is a smaller school and newer to FBS. Unlike “ULL” which comically tries to market itself as a major university called “Louisiana”, “The University of South Alabama” doesn’t try to hide our identity and is instead proud of it. “S. Alabama” an insulting, which I am sure is not your intention. We certainly don’t want to be confused with school up In Tuscaloosa, just as we as Tiger fans don’t want our school confused with that institution in Lafayette.


Thank you for fixing this so we can get back to the regularly scheduled programming. Great work you do with the recruiting updates.

re: How profitable are gas stations?

This is basically it. Gas stations still make 7-10 cents on a gallon of gas as they have for years. In the “old days”, service stations made money off of oil, tires, wiper blades, etc. That was replaced by the c-store. The gas turns a small profit, but the real money is in selling beer,n cigarettes, soft drinks and junk food.

I’m bumping this thread. I would love to see the Tigers sign this guy as a backup. He got f’d at UNC playing in a system that didn’t suit his talents. Under Lane he would do well.

Yup. OJ, Jack McCoy, Daddy Brolin and Hal Holebrook. Good movie, and a work of fiction.

The last line of the movie is “if this is what y’all do for Christmas, I can’t wait for New Years”

Christmas is the reason that John McClain has traveled to LA, and the reason for the party going on in the movie. There is Christmas music and imagery throughout the movie that plays into the plot and action.


It is an action movie that is also a Christmas movie.

He recruited well during his time at South Alabama for sure. I think he’ll do fine at LSU.
Very good/interesting post. Thank you.

You’re absolutely correct that your employer should pay you the agreed up salary. It’s ridiculous that we have gotten to the point in this country that the majority of the posters downvote you, essentially saying that you should be punished for your employer’s malfeasance! by having to go find another job - likely losing seniority and other benefits in the process. It’s your employer who is clearly in the wrong.

It's a terrible point. You've got better teams sitting at home watching this scrub suck arse.


Those “better teams” like Notre Dame and Texas had their opportunity to win games and make the playoffs. ND probably should have gotten in over Alabama the way they lost in the SEC-C, but otherwise ND doesn’t have much of a gripe.

Correct. It was a terrible objective criteria that was setup not to identify the best or most deserving teams…but instead to fend off an anti-trust lawsuit. The result is the equivalent of a week 2 cupcake game in the playoffs. It’s horrible. It’s embarrassing for the G5 participants. Nobody wants to see it.


That’s the nature of seeded tournaments. There are first round blowouts in the
NCAA basketball tournament every year, and I believe it too 30+ years before a 16 seed ever beat a 1.

In the first round of last years playoffs, IIRC all of the games were decided by 10+ points, including Ohio State’s 42-17 blowout of Tennessee in an 8-9 game. So why is that blowout ok? Did the third place team in the SEC not belong in last years playoff?


Is it ok that BEFORE the season starts, Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon are basically IN the playoffs and simply don’t have to lose their way out by losing more that 2 games?


Trust me, guaranteeing that five conference champs make the playoffs is not a problem. It is a far better measure than letting the committee pick and choose who they want by ever-changing criteria
So by your logic, since Tennessee got blown out in the 1st round last year 42-17, the SEC didn’t deserve to have three teams in the college football playoff?

The biggest whiners about missing this years playoffs are Notre Dame and Texas, which are programs that expect “special” treatment. Give Clark Lea credit, he admits his team had the chance to get it done on the field, and didn’t.

quote:

In no way do I think the group of 5 teams belong in the playoff. But I would laugh if jmu beats Oregon after Oregon got a lot of hype even though they really didn’t beat more than 1 good team.



And this is exactly why the G5 teams do belong in the playoffs, to decide the championship on the field.

The reason there are two G5 teams are in is because Tulane beat P4 ACC champ Duke h-2-h.


Yes, we assume that the G5 teams aren’t as good as the P4, but as a fella much wiser than I once said, that’s just like, your opinion man.

Nothing objective about DEI. Tulane got routed by the only P4 team they played and lost by more than one score to a 6-6 G6 team.



You’re spouting DEI because it’s a dog whistle to a certain group of mouth breathers, but this has nothing to do with that.

The criteria to make the playoffs, established before the season, was to be one of the five highest ranked conference champions or one of 7 at large teams listed. Tulane and JMU both met those OBJECTIVES.

Now, Alabama - which lost by two scores to a team with a losing record and lost two of their final four games, including a 3-score drubbings, didn’t make the playoffs based on their objective merit, but because of someone’s subjective opinion that they were one of the seven best at large teams. Your issue with DEI is actually more applicable to their case, as they were shown undo favoritism due to non-merit factors.

Bottom line, the BEST 12 teams are NOT in the playoffs.....things must change.


But the cry from all the pro-playoff folks was that they championship should be decided ON THE FIELD rather that pollsters, computers or a committee doing so.

The 12 (or appropriate number) “best” teams don’t make the NFL, NBA, MLB or any other league playoffs that I can think of.

Now, the ACC messed up by having lousy tie breakers for their conference that ultimately allowed for Duke to play for and win the league championship. Sure, the ACC is probably a stronger conference that the AAC, but ON THE FIELD Tulane beat Duke straight up.

I’m a huge SEC homer, but I’m not upset that the SIXTH place team in the SEC got left out so that a team that actually won its conference on the field could get it.
