    Interestingly enough, my dad and aunt owned some undivided interest in some "land" in coastal Louisiana. My Grandfather and his 3 siblings each owned a 1/4 share passed down from my great grandfather. There was a little mineral interest (gas wells), and they got a royalty check that usually didn't cover the taxes. When the lease expired, it wasn't renewed because they couldn't find anyone, or enough owners to sign a new lease. Several years ago, they drove over to Houma and talked to a lawyer that was able to get a map of the property, and it was about 90% under water at that point due to coastal erosion. They made the decision shortly after that (with agreement from my cousins and me) to stop paying taxes on it and let it go. The lawyer said Lafourche Parish had been trying to unwind that piece of property for years. Similar story in terms of newspaper ads, mailing tax bills to last known addresses, etc. Louisiana law is weird in that you technically still own the ground under water, but it's pretty much worthless unless someone can cure the title issues.  

    ha  are you me?  exact same thing, but land near lake charles.  my dad got tired of the headache and made it his job post retirement to clear up the title and sell the land to a local developer.  a few cousins were pissy about how little they got, apparently thinking tick infested marshland with minimal mineral deposits divided 50 plus ways should be a goldmine. 

    pissed me off, seeing how my dad spent countless hours a month for literally years working on this and got the same amount as everyone else…  

    this is more common than people realize

  2. the final three episodes of the first season just dropped. i can’t recommend it enough.  it’s one of, if not the most unique and beautiful shows i’ve ever seen. 

    i’m not the only one loving it, currently 100% on rotten tomatoes.

    Oh, and for some reason, I’m imagining the same people bitching about MM not making the tackle, would be absolutely roasting him if he got injured during the course of making the tackle. “Stupid MFer, doesn’t he know how important he to the team right now!”

    shhh  we want the guy suffering back spazims all week to tackle

    The ESPN report points to Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables, who was on the Clemson staff in 2019, as someone who has been implicated as a sign stealer by multiple unidentified sources.

    The report credits sources as saying that Clemson sent people to scout the Tigers during the SEC title game and Peach Bowl that season. 

    When the two teams faced off on Jan. 13, 2020 in the CFP title game, the Tigers' Joe Burrow-led offense started the game with three consecutive drives that ended in punts.

    LSU coach Ed Orgeron then reportedly told offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger to "Change it up" and use different signals.  Once those changes were made, LSU put up five touchdowns on five its next six drives

    How many years have you watched college football?  Serious question.  Do you not appreciate that it's rare for any inexperienced QB to just step in any play well?  Nobody is knocking MM.  They are explaining reality.  Sark's gameplan is not going to be to throw it 40+ times with a first time starter.  

    i mean, have you watched how backups tend to play against us?
