accent’ in LSU address

Brian Kelly took his talents away from South Bend, and immediately appeared to bend South. The new LSU head coach stepped on the court with a microphone at the Tigers’ basketball game on Wednesday, and spoke with a Southern twang that everyone on the internet finds hilarious. “This is a great way to get started, and I haven’t even won all my games yet,” Kelly, a Massachusetts native, told LSU fans. “It’s a great night to be a Tiger. I’m here with my family, and we are so excited to be in the great state of Louisiana.” The word “family” was particularly exaggerated, and sleuths have already figured out

Wish him and LSU well. Just hope he doesn't start using "you all". Never cared for him. A few years ago when Notre Dame wasn't dong that well he fired all of his assistant coaches. Not to go off topic, but the amount of money being tossed around in sports is unreal. Started with Jimbo Fisher getting $ 75 million to leave Florida State for Texas A&M. Now Lincoln Riley got $ 95 million to leave Okie for Southern Cow. Michigan State Coach got $ 95 million to stay in East Lasing Michigan. And the coach at Penn State gets a nice multmillion dollar raise. Back during the 1970s Pete Rose, one of the greatest ever baseball players, was waging his campaign to become the first singles hitter to make $ 100k a year. Today that would be chump change. The world has gone crazy.

A southern accent is not nearly the same as a Louisiana accent. All of my in-laws were born in the New Orleans area and they have a very distinct accent.

#5, ‘y’all’ is the greatest word in the English language. I was born in Lee County (as in Robert E.) Alabama and love the South and it’s distinct language and culture. Where I’m from, Birmingham is up North… Speaking of North, we have been invaded by Yankees and our culture and language is being destroyed. Once distinctly Southern cities like Atlanta and Charlotte seem like suburbs of Lonnggg Ieeelaaand. As to Louisiana, it has its own distinct accents. Some areas of the state are so Cajun we Southerners have a hard time understanding the language. In part of New Orleans people sound like they are from Brooklyn. Welcome to the SEC, Coach Kelly. We play real football down here—and it is a brutal battle every weekend. I wish you well, but only when the Bayou Tigers are NOT playing my Auburn Tigers. War Eagle!

This fake accent thing can be very irritating. I was born in Cali, but spent a lot of time in Virginia and Florida and was around folks with various levels of southern accents. I have a pretty neutral accent, parents from the midwest, with some "southernisms" in my speech patterns. I occasionally have to catch myself from sliding into a more southern dialect when talking with folks with strong southern accents. I don't like it in myself, and work to avoid this, and it is unbecoming in anyone, frankly. Be who you are.

Brian Kelly was and is a jerk. He might be a good coach and that's it. He left Cincinnati and Notre Dame the same way. He has no loyalty except to himself and his money. He is at LSU because he realized that, unless he is in the SEC, it will be very difficult to win a national title. The SEC is where the majority of the college football powerhouses are. He wants a trophy in his resume badly. Sorry LSU, but I hope he doesn't get it. I give him five years.

Those EVs Joe Biden and Democrats promise will transform the climate? That EV you drive and think you’re saving the planet with? They don’t get their power out of thin air; in fact, they draw heavily on burning coal in huge plants to charge up the lithium batteries. In other words, electric vehicles need fossil fuels. They just use them ahead of time rather than in the moment.(Snip)One intrepid YouTuber didn’t necessarily create his latest video blog to prove that point, but he does have fun with mods on cars and took his Tesla for a spin recently.

A North Carolina mother read from a graphic novel found in her child’s seventh-grade classroom during an Oct. 12 school board meeting, according to video footage from the event.

Lisa Webb purposely sits with her back against the front of the Green Line train when she rides to her job at a north metro fast food restaurant from her home on St. Paul's East Side. From her perch, she's seen a woman stabbed near the train and passengers using drugs and smoking. Some she sees are mentally ill and need help.

Two days after new data showed consumer prices continuing to surge, Biden resolutely ignored the topic of inflation in a speech billed as “Remarks on Lowering Costs for American Families”—focusing instead on benefits tucked into his monster spending bill. “The Inflation Reduction Act has to do with your ability to get tax credits for buying—if you need a new coffee machine, a new washer, a new refrigerator,” Biden said.(Snip)Earlier in the speech, Biden appeared to blank

Wind power has been sold to us as an environmental utopia, with lower costs, but ends up being nothing of the sort in practice. With the aid of government subsidies, we are putting up electric generating windmills all over the place. Such subsidies include the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which, according to the Institute for Energy research (IRER), provides a per-kilowatt-hour tax credit for electricity generated by qualified wind projects; and the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which provides a tax credit based on the investment made in renewable energy projects, including wind. According to IRER, trillions are being invested here. The United States, under the Biden-Harris climate bill,

For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out. According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month. It’s a far cry from the friendly dynamic Democrats once sold to the public. Remember the memes,
