    Cam has had shoulder issues and a variety of injuries for 3 years running now.  Next to Cam,  Bridgewater's injury history pales in comparison.  

    I don't think you have an understanding of just how serious Bridgewater's knee injury was.

    I'm going to see KISS at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette on Saturday night. I'm hoping what with all of the other usual viruses that are congregating at a KISS concert at the Cajun Dome in Lafayette, that there physically won't be any room for the corona virus to loiter about. Pray for me.

     

     

    Can probably apply just about anywhere in Louisiana, so seems appropriate.

    6 months in on a 2020 Tacoma Offroad 4x4 and my opinion is avoid it unless you're willing to drop $6K on an aftermarket turbocharger.

    The engine is such a fucking dog.  It is close to impossible to drive in traffic.  This morning on Mopac was a perfect example. Tried to get over to the left lane. I'm going 40ish in heavy traffic but there's a huge opening.  Step on the gas. No reaction for 1 full second.  Engine revs high for another full second.  Then the wheels start turning.  It's so ridiculous. City driving sucks. Highway driving sucks. Went offroad once. 4WD is fine but I didn't break 15 MPH.  I've previously had an '01 and '05 Tacoma. Those are fucking Raptors to this fucking Yugo.

    Talked my wife into letting me trade it in. The only rule is no truck so I'm going back to Mercedes. Probably an AMG C43 sedan.

     

     

    Good to know, as I was considering a new Tacoma but had yet to test drive one.  Ranger and Colorado are possibilities, but now may try to wait and see how soon they roll the Bronco out.

    Mount Charleston; only an hour away

    Hoover Dam is close by and a neat tour.  They have a longer tour that requires reservations for.  Shorter tour just show up.

    As suggested, check out a few shows; there's plenty of variety.

    Food?  Line up different places to go Thur-Fri-Sat evening.  World class dining is everywhere, if that's your thing.

    Mob Museum downtown is highly recommended; I've been twice.

    Listen to this man.

    Morning Call in Metarie has the best beignets in town. A very easy drive from the tourist trap of the Quarter.

    That location closed about two years ago.  And then they lost the lease on the location in City Park, so I don't think Morning Call has any brick-and-mortar locations around NO anymore unless something opened up fairly recently.

    They are more proud of losing in the sec than winning in the big 12 . . . 

    Not that they were doing much winning in the Big 12.  They won ONE conference championship in football in a total of 16 seasons in the Big 12.  Makes it all the more funny when they start spouting off about how weak the Big 12 is.

  7. Someone please preserve this article for posterity the next time one of those sheep-humpers spouts off about how great their fanbase is.

    Favorite portions include:  

    LSU players and coaches remember A&M fans threw nuts and bolts and dimes and nickels at players. They stood on LSU’s dugout and dumped Coke and beer on those who exited and entered.

    In left field, fans took rocks from the nearby railroad tracks and slung them into the LSU bullpen.

    . . .

     

    “People were following us in cars and flipping us off,” Davis said.

    . . .

     

     

    Texas law enforcement officials guarded those LSU fans who had made the trip, ushering them onto the field to celebrate with the team and then escorting them to their vehicles after A&M fans had left the park.

    “It was a little scary getting out of there,” said Alex Wall, a retired city court judge whose son was on the team. “I can remember them throwing rocks on us and spitting on us.”
