LSU Season Overview
This is one of my favorite times of the year, when every one is 0-0 and sports prognosticators all over the country are talking up their favorites for the NCAA college football championship. My LSU Tigers even got a couple of mentions as potential champions and started the year at #1 in someone’s [...]

Today I got a package in the mail. This package was about 12″ square but only about 1/2″ thick. What was inside?
Records.
As in vinyl.
I really enjoy music, and one of my favorite genres is southern rock from the likes of Molly Hatchet, Outlaws, and .38 Special. I thought I had collected just about everything that [...]

A while back I posted an initial review of the JFJ Easy Pro disc polishing system. I’ve now had this unit for over a year and have some updates.

About five years ago a woman was accused and tried in court for distributing music files over the Internet. The initial verdict came in at $62,500 per song included in the offense, for a total of $1.5MUS in liability. Needless to say, the amount made headlines at the time. But like most big money trials [...]

Wow. Just. Wow.
After a season of incompetence, where did LSU come up with an offense? Jefferson looked great today, and when he had to play, even Lee made some nice throws. The CBS crew denoted both LSU quarterbacks as “player of the game” for their performance today, and they deserved it. LSU’s offense racked up [...]

A while back I posted about challenges with scratched music compact discs. Today I am going to provide visual evidence of just how well the system I bought (the JFJ Easy Pro Plus) does its job.

Here is a picture of the before image of the compact disc I decided to use for this blog post.

After barely holding on to beat a team with 13 starters suspended, after the debacle that was the end of the Tennessee game, who would have thought that the Bayou Bengals would have come up with yet another wild ending? Believe it, they did. They relied on a fake field goal (a bounce pass that [...]

Let me set the stage for you in case you didn’t watch the game live as I did.
Your team is down by 4 points. A field goal does not help. You’re driving and at the opponents 9 yard line with less than a minute to go. Your team has no time-outs left.

Seriously, how does LSU deserve a top ranking when they’re 102nd in the nation in offensive production? They’re ahead of only Vanderbilt in the SEC with just under 300 yards of offense per game. Their defense is top ranked in the SEC (#1 in yards allowed, #2 in points allowed) but in the college game [...]
