SpaceX has just officially announced Starbase, Louisiana, a new $100+ billion spaceport in South Louisiana near Pecan Island.
Construction starts in 2027, with the first Starship launch from the new site planned for 2029.
Starbase, Louisiana will be built to support thousands of Starship flights a year. This self-sustaining spaceport will have propellant production, power generation, deep-water shipping capabilities, vehicle processing facilities, and an airport.
SpaceX is committed to investing at least $100 billion and creating more than 3,000 new jobs at Starbase, Louisana hiring heavily from nearby communities and utilizing Louisiana workers’ extensive experience of building complex infrastructure in their unique environment.
In Vermilion Parish, the shoreline is eroding between 3.3 and 23 feet per year. SpaceX is partnering with state and federal agencies to expand Louisiana’s Coastal Master Plan and Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act projects, including Gulf shoreline protection breakwaters designed to reduce wave energy and slow loss along the Gulf edge.

You can hate this all you want, but your issue is with the NCAA, not LSU. They fumbled the 5 in 5.
Lane isn’t paid to protect the spirit of a rule the NCAA couldn’t properly implement. He’s paid to win football games.

We mourn today the passing of LSU legend Skip Bertman, the greatest coach in college baseball history, a visionary leader, and one of the most impactful figures in the evolution of collegiate athletics.

BOTD Joe Delaney
Joe Delaney died in 1983 while trying to save 3 boys from drowning.
He saved one, but drowned with the other two.
Joe Delaney is a hero.
Rest In Peace

It was during this 1990 appearance on a British talk show (to promote his film "Wild at Heart") that we learned every ounce of cocaine may also contain traces of Nicolas Cage

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

Hall of Fame pitcher Lee Smith didn't play baseball until he was a junior in high school. He tried out to win a $10 bet, and only started pitching after his team's star pitcher was killed in a hunting accident. His first start was a no-hitter.
"I said, 'No way am I ever going to play baseball!' Basketball was my game," the Louisiana native said. It was Smith's older brother, Willie, who got him to play baseball by betting Lee $10 that he couldn't make the team as a catcher.
"So, naturally, I won the bet and was the catcher for the first half of the season," Smitty said.
Then the team's star pitcher was shot and killed in a hunting accident, and Daniels asked Smith to step in and pitch. The kid who didn't want to play baseball pitched a no-hitter his first time out. Relying mostly on a blistering fastball, Smith went 8-0 with a 0.14 ERA during his time on the mound as a junior for the Castor Tigers. After a bit of prompting from Daniels, Lee Arthur came back to the mound his senior year and went 7-1 with a 0.95 ERA, while striking out 124 batters in 53 innings of work. For his efforts, Smith was named Louisiana's Outstanding Class B baseball player for 1975.
