5 things

2009-02-20T17:05:00.003-06:00

O.K. My lovely wife Carole did a thing on her blog about 25 random things. Well I was thinking about that and thought I would do one, but everyone is doing that. So I thought of something.

It's 5 thing I don't want to here from my 12 year old daughter until she's 24 and married

5 Dad I'm done with school

4 Dad I'm moving out

3 Dad I need pads

2 Dad that boy is smokin hot (unless he is on fire)

and this is the most important thing of all

1 Dad I'm pregnant

Thank you Ethiopia

the cook (forgot her name) Carole, Johnny, Abel and me at the quest house

1 dollar a day would feed a family. O.K. when I would see those commercials on T.V. about Ethiopia. I thought that was a load of crap. There's no-way you could do that. those people in that commercial are trying to rip us off and take my money. Then I went there to pick up our 6 year old son that we adopted and was I wrong. Not only will that feed a family that also will buy you a bag of the best coffee in the world(and I hate coffee but I drank it there), a can of Coca-Cola, a pack of gum (from the street kids), and still have some change left over.
When I was there we stayed at a Guest House (like a Bed and Breakfast here) and I talked to the night desk worker a lot. His name was Johnny and he had just graduated from University with a degree in business. Very smart and nice man. We talked about his country and my country. He asked if there were poor people in America and was shocked when I told him yes. He thought all Americans were rich. I asked him what a construction worker makes and he told me around 800 bir a month ($80). There was a lot of construction work going on in the city. He also said that it was hard to find a good job there and that why he was working at the Guest House. (I think he was a Angle from God sent there for us.) He helped us out so much by telling us what the kids were saying,took us to a shop to get a back-pack when mine broke and would not let us carry anything no matter how hard I tried to get it from him. I gave him my Steeler's hat that I brought with us and he would not stop saying thank you every time I would see him he would have it on.
I have so much more to say but words would do it no Justise
Thanks for all your prayer

Mr Rolfe's (Daddy Rolfe/Pastor )

2008-08-04T18:12:00.005-05:00

Tara, Rolfe’s secretary sent this to Dan so I stole it.

The way Rolfe is explaining the broken arm to the folks at the business report. thought y’all’d enjoy it:
Top 10 Explanations for the Broken Arm:

10. Chronic Blackberry overuse weakened the bones, and when the flight reached altitude of 35,000 feet it spontaneously fractured.

9. Snapped during a safari tour by a local Swazilander who kept hitting him in the arm in the exact same spot repeatedly and asking ‘Huh? Tigaz! Huh? Lions! Huh? Rhinocerous! Huh?’

8. Attacked by a crocodile after getting too close and taunting, “Tiger bait! Tiger bait!”

7. It was crushed when cargo shifted on the plane – apparently he stacked too many boxes of “Our Way” leaflets to distribute to villagers.

6. Tussled with local activists after suggesting he could do a better job running their believeInSwaziland.org web site.

5. Let’s just say the McCollister driving style is not as effective when weaving through hundreds of pedestrians and hippos.

4. Tried to take his signature ‘Moon Walk’ to another level by walking on his hands.

3. Broke it after he triggered a brawl when he offered local tribal chiefton an ill-advised food offering of his mom’s homemade “White Trash."

2. It’s not actually broken—it’s merely a so-called “Mule cast” to conceal contraband.

And the number 1 explanation:

Tara, astounded he somehow managed to get his Blackberry to work from the jungle, hired a Swazi warrior hit man to “please, for the love of all that is good, break his Blackberry hand.”

Pretty Boy

2008-08-02T09:16:00.003-05:00

O.K. When I saw who was going on this trip I thought "oh great a bunch of teenagers that we are gonna have to watch this whole trip". Boy was I wrong about that. We had no problems at all with anybody.Think about this there were 30 people ages 15 to Rolf (LOL-Don't know how old Rolf is). And there were no fights, no getting on any buddies nerves. Now if that's not God I don't now what is.

This is Rolf..

All the teenagers were great for teenagers. they never complained about anything they were told to do. They loved on some baby's and were just great.

Now one of the teenage boy stood out to me more then the others and that was Paul (The pretty boy) Musso. He was on my team for the basketball camps.

First let me tell you why I gave him the nickname. It was the 2nd day of camps and we were going to have tea with the Principal and Teachers of the school. I was the last one to go up and some of the kids asked me to sign their wrist bands that we gave out. So as I was signing one girl looked at me and said "can you give this to Paul (handing me her wrist ban) and have him sign it for me?" so I took it and then she said "oh and have him kiss it". So like any grown 35 year old man would do I gave it back to her and said "I will go get him for you". Then I went inside and told everyone. Paul went out and the girls (by this time there were more of them) went CRAZY (like the old video of the Beatles) They chased him around screaming. Even the kids at the care points looked at him different. We also heard some of the girls at the school walking back to there class saying that Paul had shook there hands and they were not going to wash them.

Some of the kids from the school.

Paul in blue holding the basketball..

Paul in blue in the middle of the group.

He's not only pretty but he's a great kid. I'm glad he was on my team and I got to know him better.

I will post some pics later.Right now we are at the Children's Cup Office getting ready for church. will write more later.

Dream center ASAP field trip

2008-03-16T08:15:00.005-05:00

O.K. Yesterday I got to go to the very first field trip for the A.S.A.P. program. We went to the Louisiana Arts and Science Museum. We took around 26 kids and we had a pretty good time for taking a bunch of kids from the "hood" to an Art Gallery. We got to see a movie called "Hurricane on the Bayou" and that was cool. We ate Chick-Fil-a on the leavee.

Craig said when they told us we could not touch the art work that he wanted to, so how are we gonna stop theses kids? BUT A lady that worked at the museum said these kids were better then a lot of other kids that come through there on school field trips.

Give it up for the ASAP kids!!

The bus ride..

Lunch on the leavee...

Tashian and Robert posing..

But the best thing that happened was before we left Winbourne.

When E and I pulled up to the Dream center at 9:45am most of the kids where already there and they didn't need to be there until 10:30am. E and I started talking to them and someone said that Jordon was walking down the street. (Jordan and Karon along with Kayron's brother Dominique were in a fight last week at After school)

I looked at Kayron and his brother and said "are you guys cool?"

Kayron looked up at me with his big eyes and said "You know the bible says that you have to forgive so I forgave him"

and I said "thats right" (thinking we got to him)

then he said this "Now, I'm still gonna beat him up but I forgive him."

That's Kayron, you got to love him.

gotta go.

Evangeline is NOT bathing so I can go to Africa

2008-03-10T12:15:00.001-05:00

NOT bathing for Africa

This is me, Evangeline Turner all clean by Africa cookies and an Africa cake I made.

Soon I will not be clean and it will be for a good cause.

Because my dad, Dean Turner is going to Swaziland Africa on a missions trip with Sports Ministry to help the new HPC Campus get set up there.

They help Orphans there through that campus and Children's Cup. I love all the Orphans in the whole world and I want to help them so now I can do that through my dad going there to help.

My dad needs $3800.00 to do it.

SO I have decided to ask YOU to sponsor me NOT to bath!

That's right. I am gonna stink!

If you go to HPC you will remember that I got $45.00 for not bathing for three days and especially for not bathing after I was baptised in the duck-poop filled pond behind HPC.

Click HERE to read all about that on my moms blog.

After that we were talking to Pastor Johnny Green about it and he said I should use that as a fund raiser. I think he was just joking But we all thought that was a good idea.

So, I figured I could ride that "she's the girl that didn't bath" fame and use it to raise money for my dad to go on this missions trip.

I think Jesus would really like this idea, I hope He is happy with it and I hope he gets YOU to sponsor me.

This is how it will go;

Sunday March 16th I will take a shower and get all clean,

He has to have $1200.00 by April 15th (then I can bathe)
then $1000.00 by May 6th ( I will get to bathe again)
and another $1300.00 by June 10th (I will go back to bathing again)

So, you could like sponsor me for $1.00 a day, or $100.00 a day or just one amount for that time. Which ever you want.

Get it? Kinda confusing but like a game.

I could get really stinky. There will be 30 days between March 16th and April 15th, 21 days between that and May 6th and 35 days between that and June 10th!!! That's a long time not to bathe. Good thing I am home schooled and my mom can't smell. Bad thing for the people I sit by at Pathfinders and Old school.

My mom said after a couple weeks people will be throwing money at me TO bathe :-)

You know we just found out that my new brother Abel that we are adopting from Ethiopia, never even saw a bar of soap until he got to the foster home and he has still never used a toothe brush, so I will be able to kinda relate to him a little bit.

I just pray you will want to help me too and sponsor me NOT to bathe.

So E-mail me and let me know how many days, and the amount of sponsorship I can put you down for.

I will also be telling you all about my experience not bathing on my blog @

lilstinkye.blogspot.com

I will go ahead and thank you now for helping and tell you God bless you.

Love (soon to be) Lil Stinky E

Happy New Years

2008-01-06T17:14:00.000-06:00

O.K. I hope everybody has had a great New Years so far. Mine has been great. The family and I stayed at home on New Years Day. Didn't go anywhere. Just like Christmas Day. Here are some pic from Christmas Day feast we had. E and I did most of the cooking.

Everything turned out great as you can tell by this last pic.

On New Years Eve we went to our friend house and shot off some fireworks and played a mean game of Texas Hold em'

It came down to me and the card playing expert.

That right the lady that can't get in any Casino in Vegas.

That because she's only 9 years old...

That her talking to her daddy. Do you see who has all the chips? Its not me.

2007-12-25T17:11:00.000-06:00

To all 5 people that read this Blog. I hope you had a great day

My poor daughter had to wear this awful cheerleading outfit when she was a baby just to make her Aunt Terry happy....

..We almost got arrested for child abuse.

How sweet it is

2007-12-03T16:45:00.000-06:00

O.K. When I went to bed Sat. night I knew that LSU was gonna play in New Orleans in Jan. But I never thought in would be the last game of the 2007 season for all the marbles. Better yet it's against the team that I have not liked most of my life.

I grew up in Ohio and I was a Michigan fan. Every year we would watch the Ohio State -Michigan game. My dad and I would route for The Big Blue-Michigan and my brothers and mother would route for the other team (that's what we called them).

Then when I moved to Louisiana and went to my first LSU game, against Auburn, I sat in the student section and LSU won the game in the last seconds. The place went crazy. From that point on I was a LSU fan.

My mother and brothers are still Ohio State fans. My dad still routes for Michigan, but he has a lot of LSU shirts and stuff from when he comes to visit. And he says he watches the games on T.V. So he will soon be a LSU fan.

2007-12-03T13:44:00.000-06:00

Miles: I will stay at LSU

2007-12-02T08:38:00.001-06:00

Funny stuff

2007-11-20T16:43:00.000-06:00

O.K. Another friend sent me this stuff.

Just fitting in.

2007-11-19T20:09:00.001-06:00

O.K. A friend sent me this and I thought it was funny. So I thought I would pass it a long.

Cooled from Ohio

2007-11-17T12:42:00.000-06:00

O.K. I'm in Ohio and it's cold and wet. It's gonna snow later they say. Right now I'm at my sisters house watching the Ohio St. -Michigan game. This morning we went to eat at the Cracker Barrel and I saw this older man with all kinds of Ohio State stuff on walk to me and looking at all my LSU stuff I had on. So I was ready to let him know how much better we are then they are. But he came up to me and said you guy should be #1 and that he hopes that they don't play us in the Championship game cuz we would kill them. I looked at him and said Thank You.
Now the reason I in Ohio is that my step mother bought me a airline ticket to come up here for a surprise my dad for his birthday and she was having a party for him. Right now he does not know I'm here. We are gonna surprise him at the party. I will let you know how it goes later now we gotta talk some LSU football. I think that LSU will win and win big. They out match the Old Miss Redels big time and in the past they always play LSU very tuff, but not this time
My score is LSU 56 Old Miss 9

Bama and the God of Football

2007-11-03T12:07:00.000-05:00

O.K. This is probably one of the most anticipated games of the season for every Tiger fan. From the time that Sabin told the world that he was going to Bama on Jan. 3 2007. Now I don't think he was the God of football by no means. But he was a key part of getting LSU to where they are today. He got alot of stuff done like new workout facility and a 2 new upper decks to Tiger Stadium. Plus he won the BCS National Championship in 2003. And the most important thing to me is he brought back the Eye Of The Tiger to the center of the field. Now there's some cool stuff in this months 225 the magazine about the two coaches.

I think that LSU will win the game and they will look like the team that beat Va Tech. More QB sacks and Int's. I think that they will rush the ball very well and have a total offence of 489yrds. The score will be 38 LSU Bama 17.

2007-10-20T06:34:00.000-05:00

O.K. This will be short. It's 6:30 in the morning on sat. and E and I are going to The Baton Rouge Dreamcenter Winbourne. To help clean up. I will tell you more on that later.

Now to the game tonight I think that LSU will beat Auburn and beat them good. LSU had a bad game last week and will be ready to play. Cox will meet the ground in Tiger Stadium a few times and the defence will score tonight.

LSU 34

Auburn 10

Wake up call.

2007-10-14T10:43:00.000-05:00

O.K. LSU lost and I was upset for a little bit. And then I got over it. The Wildcats were a better team and I think that Woodson should really be the top runner for the Heisman Trophy. He looked great. Was not scared of the defence. I think that LSU should have blitzed a little more but I'm not the Coach's and they may know a little more than I do about football. That's what they do for a living.
Cal also lost and that's the first time that the top two teams lost on the same day since 1996. I think that LSU will go down to maybe 5th or 6th and this will not hurt them to bad. The wildcat were ranked #17 in the polls and they will probably go to #14 or 13th. I hope that they win out and make it to the SEC Camp. Game and that LSU gets a rematch. Because LSU will win the rest of there game. This just may be the wake up call that they needed.

Tigers and Gators

2007-10-04T17:30:00.000-05:00

O.K. #1 LSU Tigers plays the Florida Gators this Sat. night in Death Valley and the chance of rain NEVER.

I think that this is gonna be the the most challenging game that LSU and the Gators will have all year. I know that the Gators lost last week to the Alburn Tigers but I think that the play calling for the Gators was bad and that they were looking ahead to the Tigers of LSU. The Alburn Tigers had not played well in till that game. The LSU Tigers had the worst 1st half of a football game that I can remember against the Green Wave. But they stepped it up in the 2nd.

Game Day is gonna be here again for the 2nd time this year. I don't remember them ever going to the same place twice in one year. So I think that everyone knows that this is a big game. They may meet in the SEC Championship and the winner going on the the BCS National Championship Game in The SuperDome.

O.K. here goes nothing I think that LSU will win the game and that they will knock T-Bo out of the game in the 3rd quarter. The defence will score a touchdown and I think that Holiday will return a kickoff for one.

Tigers 34

Gators 20

Here are the LSU-Florida outcomes in the 13 contests at Tiger Stadium since Mac’s exit in 1979.

Record: Florida 10 LSU 3

Tulane

2007-09-27T16:57:00.000-05:00

O.K. now it's time for Tulane. I think this game is great for the state but the time is not. The game starts at 11am people will still be hung over and it wont be loud. But I don't do the times for ESPN. Now I think that the Tigers will beat The Green Wave pretty bad. They thought that Mississippi State was to much for them. And LSU beat them 45 to big old goose egg in there house. So I think that LSU will have a great game get a lot of people in that need it and that Flynn and Doucet will get some rest.

Nike has introduced a set of limited edition jerseys and other apparel with part of the proceeds from sales earmarked for assisting the youth of New Orleans. Worn by both teams, the uniforms will feature a special pelican emblem designed by Nike. The Pelican emblem is a tribute to the state bird and stylistically resembles the Phoenix, a symbol of the City’s rebirth. The emblem will be one of several new additions to Nike’s LSU and Tulane products, which will be on sale at the game and in select retail locations throughout the US. Proceeds from the sale of this product will go towards Nike’s Let Me Play New Orleans fund to help rebuild New Orleans through Sport.

My score LSU 62

Tulane 3

LSU and Middle Tenn. State Game

2007-09-20T15:59:00.000-05:00

O.K. Evangeline and I went to the LSU game sat. night. She was great she had to go to the tailgate party with me (I work the tailgate for Coke) and there were no kids there so she was bored out of her mind. But I think she had fun at the game. We got the tickets for Coke so they were good seat. Half way thu the 4th quarter we went down to the seats right behind the LSU bench. She thought that was so cool. Now she did play the Gameboy some during the game but that o.k.

Here are some video I took of the game I think it's pretty cool.

Now it's time for South Carolina. I think that LSU will beat them pretty bad if it rains like they say it is . There run defence is not good at all. There like 92th in the nation in run defence. They don't have much of a passing game. So I think the game will be good for the first qaurter or half way thru the 2nd. Then it will get ugly.

Virginia Tech

2007-09-03T21:02:00.000-05:00

O.K. Here comes V-Tech and I think this will be a much better game then last week. I think what they did in Blacksburg was awesome. I hope that LSU does something for them also. V-Tech had a rough start to there game but they came around and won. I think that they will be ready to play Sat. night. But so will LSU and I think that LSU is a much better team then they showed last game . Even though they won 45-0.

I think that Williams will rush for over 100 yrds this game and Hester will have 2 TDs. Matt Flynn will throw for over 200 yrds with 2 TDs and no int. The defence will score 1 time on 3 turnovers.

Score will be

38

17

State

2007-09-02T10:25:00.000-05:00

45-0O.K. I was nerves for the first quarter then fine but was then hoping that LSU was just not showing everything they had for V-Tech. I think that Flynn looked really good after the first quarter. Now they get ready for V-Tech.

Dog Fighting

2007-08-25T09:40:00.000-05:00

O.K. I'm not one of those people that think that animals are like people. But I do think that they should not be forced into doing something that's not normal. Like dog fighting or cockfighting. that's not right. The people that are out there doing this should go to jail for a long time. Like Mr. Vick this man had it all ( will maybe not all I don't know if he had Christ in his heart I don't think so on lookin at the charges that are on him.) But he had the dream job ,was loved by most people in his town , saved a football team , shoe and drink deals all over and he threw it all away for some thrills of doing something that is just stupid.

Now I listen to a lot of talk radio and I hear a lot of people calling in that say this is a race thing. That its a southern thing that its not that big of deal. I don't think that and here is why. I think he is the biggest name that has been busted on this. So that's why it so big in the news and talk radio. If you read some of the stuff he's charged with you will see it is a big deal. Some of the people that are backing Vick just are using him like his people that rolled on him. So they can get there name on the radio or news. He will be the poster boy for this.

Now I think that Vick could be used by the NFL to show players that leave school early for the money and fame what can happen when you hang with the wrong people. I think they need to make them stay in school longer or set a cap on what a rookies can make there first or second year in the league.

Vancouver,Canada ?

2007-07-20T22:41:00.000-05:00

O.K. When I was asked to go on a missions trip to put on a soccer camp I was like alright I'm going to Africa and then I was told it would be Canada. Then when I told my lovely and wonderful wife that I was going on a missions trip she said you better not be going to Africa before me. Then I told her it was Canada she started to make fun and pick at me. And then she said "I thought you said you were going on a missions trip?"

I started to look up stuff on Vancouver and I did not find much on it. So when our team met at the church on sat. July 7 to head to the airport I didn't know what to think.

Our team was as followed : Screen-saver (Kevin J), Chris Angle (Craig B), T-Money (Tony G), Drop it like it hot Wilkerson (Kerry), The Midget Trainer ( Shawn W), Lamar-Lenard (Lamont B), G P S (Trent S), Hope B, Joe-David and Emily W, Shaun and Lynn R, Jason D, and myself.

We flew into Seattle then drove into Vancouver. When we got to the hotel it was 2:30am (Thanks Shaun) and we had to be at the church at 10am. We made it there just a little late, but we made it.

On the way to the church we got are first taste of what we had in store for us. We passed a part of the city they call "Skid Row" and at one of the corners they had a bunch of people doing drugs and one lady was tripping out on something. This street was right down from a police station.

We got with the Pastor of the church we were partnering with for the soccer camp and he took us to where the camp would be held, all of us were like "oh my goodness!" The soccer field that we would be holding the camp on was the same turf stuff that the Saints play on and The B C Lions, The CFL Football team that won Grey Cup last year (our version of the Super Bowl) was right next to the soccer field.

Now we were not sure how many kids were gonna show up to this camp. The pastor said they passed out about 50 or so fliers but had not got any back. But we know that some people will just show up to the camp. Thanks HPC for preparing us for that. We had a little meeting and prayer that night and went to bed.

Monday morning we made it to the site and prayed over the field as we looked for needle's. We were told that there was an exchange house that people could take used needle's and get new ones. We checked the field everyday and never found any on the field. But we did find some by the entrance to the field. That day we had about 10 kids show up so we sent some of the crew out to the neighborhood and get some kids over. They went to parks and the mall and any where they could think of that day we had two more kids show up. After the camp we went back out and hit the neighborhood pool and some more parks and just walked the streets and handed out fliers.

That night we worked the soup kitchen not very far from were we had camp. The people that do it are called Night Shift, they have 30 different church's that help out and they serve food 365 days a year rain or shine. They do it all off donations. Carole ask me the other day what was my favorite thing about the trip and I told them it was when we work the soup kitchen. That night there was about 75 people that we loved on and served. We did the soup kitchen on Thursday night also..

More to come later

LSU FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 2007

2007-05-05T20:32:00.000-05:00

O.K. I know it hard to read the schedule but the picture is cool.

So as of today here is the schedule.

1st- game of the season on Aug 30 ESPN Thursday Night Football the Tiger will play at the Mississippi State Bulldogs. I think this is the first time that the Tigers have played on Thursday night. It the opening game for Collage Football. I think this is good for the Tigers every football fan in the world will be watching this game.

2nd- game of the season is the home opener against Virginia Tech On Sept 8th. Now this game should be a good game and I hope that LSU does something for the people of Virginia Tech and I hope and pray that some IDIOT don't say some STUPID thing to one of there fans about what happen there. Because we all know alcohol does to people

3rd- Middle Tennessee on Sept. 15th in Tiger Stadium

4th- South Carolina on Sept. 22nd in Tiger Stadium. This is the first trip back for the Vizier. Since he left Florida.

5th-Tulane on Sept. 29th in The Superdome. This will be just like a home game for the Tigers. And I think that ESPN has picked up this game.

6th- The defending National Champs The Florida Gators on Oct. 6th in Tiger Stadium. No T.V. at this time but I'm sure that someone will pick it up

7th- Kentucky on Oct. 13th in Common wealth Stadium Lexington, Ky

8th- Auburn on Oct 20th in Tiger stadium. I hope this time we have better refs that can see.

9th- Alabama on Nov 3rd in Bryant-Denny Stadium Tuscaloosa, Ala. This will be the hardest ticket to find. Even if the Tigers make to the big game. This game should be on T.V. also.

10th-Louisiana Tech on Nov 10th in Tiger Stadium

12th-Arkansas on Nov 23rd in Tiger Stadium. This as always is the day after Thanksgiving. On CBS at 1:30

WOW JAM and Ultimate Fight Challenge

2007-03-04T20:34:00.000-06:00

O.K. yesterday I spent all day down at Gus Young Park. For those people that don't know that place it is a part of the worst places in B.R. There's more crime, drugs, & poverty in a 2 mile area around this public park then anywhere else in B.R. I was there with our church & WOW JAM to reach the lost. It was great! They had different booths set up from hair cutting, family photos, bike repairs, food and it was all free! Just a great day. 325 people were saved and today 15 were baptized.

My plan was to leave there and go to the LSU Basketball game,but I had to give my neighbour the other tickets cuz' I didn't leave the WOW Jam until 8:30pm. Instead I went to a friends to watch the UFC on pay-per-view . The UFC fight was to start at 8:30pm, I made it to my friends just before the first fight.

It was 4 guys, we ate pizza and watch people beat the mess out of each other and after the fights they huge and thank each other for kicking there butts. The fighters enter the arena to music, you know, get you ready to fight music. Jeff Wells ask all of us "what song would you come into if you were fighting?" I said "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metalica. Kerry said "Back in Black" by AC/DC and Jeff said "Carry on My Wayward Son" by Kanasas.

What song would you come in too?

The Aint's no more

2007-01-15T18:51:00.000-06:00

O.K. I spent all day Saturday thinking of the Saint's game and I'm a Steeler fan. I was just as excited for that game as I was last year for the Super Bowl. The Saints are the best team left in the playoffs. I think that they will go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Now just think what will happen if that does comes true. They didn't even have a home field last year. They have a rookie coach and a new Q.B. that had major shoulder surgery in the off season. Nobody in there right mind would have picked them to even be in the playoffs let alone be in the Super Bowl. The town of New Orleans will go crazy and then Miami will really now what it is to party. Baton Rouge has a lot of New Orleans people living here after the storm and so this town will be crazy also.

I think that the Saints will beat Da' Bears cuz there defence is playing very well right now. The only thing that worries me is that if they don't put Rex on his back quick he could hurt you. But if they do, he will make mistakes and that will be good. I don't think that Bush will be a big factor in the running game but will be in the passing game. I think that Karney will be more involved like in the Dallas game. Brees has been good all year, should be no change in that. And the Duece will run for over 100yrds again.

So my pick is Saints 32 Da Bears 17

O.K. here are a couple of pic from the Sugar Bowl last night. I got to go with some people from the Church and had a great time. But let me tell you what I had to do to get to the game. Tuesday morning I was in Okeechobee, Fl. we were getting ready to go to Carole's brothers house that lives in a town about 1 hr away. We were gonna stay the night and get up really early and hit the road to come home so I could watch the game at a friends house. I get a call from Kerry Wilkerson ( a really good friend that goes to the church) and he had a extra ticket to the game and it was mine if I could get back. I had to talk to Carole about it because this was her part of our vacation. And she said lets drive thu the night, because she is the best wife in the world. So we went to her brothers house to visit and left that night at 11:40 pm and got to B.R. at 11:00 am. I drove most of the way because I could not sleep. I had to meet them at the church at 2:00pm, so I tried to take a power nap didn't happen.
It was well worth it to see LSU beat the Irish.

Merry Christmas

2006-12-25T12:33:00.000-06:00

O.K. I know it's been along time again but it's been crazy at the Turner home. We had so many parties we had to go to and a vacation to get ready for.

We are now in Ohio at my dad's house and want it to snow but it has not yet. Now they say it should snow tonight, lets hope. My brother's kids and wives were here this morning and we opened all the gifts it was very nice to see them all but i wish both of my brothers could have been here but that's another story that I'm not getting in to. Just pray for them. We are in that time now where you just wait for all the food to be ready. You know that 2 to 6 hours that seams like days because the house smells so good from the food and you can't go in the kitchen or you will get fused at for sampling a few things.

It been a good trip so far except for the no snow thing. Carole and E even bought snow boots so they can't wait to walk in the snow. I'm sorry E can't wait but those of you who know Carole know what I'm talking about. If it does snow we will have pics on all of the blogs. And Carole will be in the snow making a snow angle. Ha Ha

BCS

2006-12-04T16:38:00.000-06:00

O.K. I know its been a long time. But I hope this is worth the wait.

I think the BCS got it right this time. I think that the Ohio State Luckeyes & the Florida Gators are the two best teams that can be in the game. LSU of course is the best team and would beat both of the team in that game but we can't so I will be going for the SEC even though I can't stand the Gators and don't like the Luckeyes even more. I do think the Gators will give Ohio a good game and with the right play calling I think they will pull off the upset. Now Ohio does have a really good football team and one of the best Q.B. in Collage Football.

If you read my blog a few months back you know I said that the winner of the Ohio/Michigan game would play Florida in the Championship Game.

My score for the game is Gators 24 Luckeyes 21

The Game

2006-11-04T12:00:00.000-06:00

O.K. I have been thinking of this now for a little bit. And I think that the winner of the Luckeyes and Michigan game will be the camps. I don't think that if the luckeyes lost they should play in the game but I also think that if Florida wins out they should jump the no lose team of Louisville (cuz they will stay unbeaten ). I think that Florida has had one of the toughest schedules in football maybe USC had a harder one. Now people that know me know I can't stand the Gators or the Luckeyes so if it comes down to them I have to go for the SEC. But I don't think the the Luckeyes will be there. I think that Michigan will beat them and it will be them and the Gators so Michigan will win it all. Now lets talk real football LSU . They play Tennessee in about 2 hours and I do think that LSU will win this game and will win out. The score for today's game will be LSU 28 Tennessee 10. The defense will score a T.D.

The Longest Day Ever

2006-10-28T20:02:00.000-05:00

O.K. There was no LSU game today and this day is just going on forever. This morning we did the JDRF walk at LSU. I was very happy with the turnout for our team from Coca-Cola there was about 15 people which is alot for us. We also raised about $800 and Coke will match up to $500 and that the most we have ever raised. Carole was volunteering at the Baton Rouge Dream Center so I dropped E off with her and then there was nothing going on the rest of this long day. I got home and watched a little football and took a nap on the couch.

I have to work Tomorrow, all day, I will be going to the Angola Prison Rodeo. If you have never made it to the rodeo I strongly recommend it. It is the neatest thing and you can get some really neat stuff there and it is all hand made by the prisoner's. They do it every Sunday in October. They have done shows on T.V. on the rodeo.

Some of the Harvey clan. Evan (holding the pink pillow) Karen in pimp hat, Bradly with psycho eyes and full LSU clothing and Brad dressed in Gator cloths. By the look on his face you would think he knew how the game was gonna turn out.

Get over it

2006-10-12T21:19:00.000-05:00

O.K. The game is over.

LSU lost.

Most people didn't think We would win this game anyway.

They are not gonna fire Les Miles.

I will post my pics at a later date, they are not developed yet.

That was a long ride home. The people I went to the game with decided to head back to BR that night so we left at around 10pm and drove straight through. I got home at 7am Sunday.

I've been on vacation this week so I don't have to hear every want-to -be-coach in BR say that they would have done this or that to win the game and they would have won it to.

We play Kentucky this weekend. Now lets get ready for Saturdays game. The Wildcats have a better team then other years but LSU should take this one easily. This games on TigerVision so there should be a good bit of people out there.

My score LSU 45 Wildcats 14

Gators/ Luckeyes

2006-10-05T16:45:00.000-05:00

Ok, I leave for the game tomorrow and I can't wait. I,m gonna try to leave around 2pm that would put me at Karen and Brads around 11pm.

This week took forever. I think that LSU has a good shot at this game, If the Tigers throw the ball to set up the run. Now I'm not one of thous people who think they know more than the people getting paid to do it. That's just a thought.

Here is an article from ESPN for all the Russel haters or the ones that don't know him (my brother Dennis).

The other day I was talking to Dennis about football. Which he knows nothing about. The reason I say this is he thinks the Ohio State "Luckeyes" have the toughest schedule in collage football. Now up to this point they have had a tough one but look at who they play Bowling Green (not ranked) then Michigan State (not ranked and may not have a coach) Indiana ( not ranked) Minnesota (who) Illinois (I thought they just had a field for when the Bears were building there new stadium not for football) Northwestern ( again not ranked) then they get there perfect season gone for there hardest game of the season The Michigan Wolverines.

Now let me know how you think has a tougher schedule.

The score for the game LSU 27 Gators 17

Ticket

2006-10-02T20:28:00.000-05:00

O.K. I got a ticket to the LSU/Florida football game for this weekend. I've never been to Florida's stadium before. This should be a very good game.

Florida is #5 in every poll out there. My goal is to see the Tigers play in every SEC stadium. I've been to Old Miss and Georgia.

ESPN's GameDay is gonna be there. So it should be a little crazy around there.

I will be going with my friends Jimmy Clyde , Karen (LSU Fan) & Brad (Gator fan) Harvey, and their young'ins. Carole is staying here in BR with the kids. She's the best.

Mississippi State

2006-09-28T16:12:00.000-05:00

O.K. I've got two things here. First thing is the Steelers wont lose this week because they have a bye week. Big Ben is just not the same right now ( he did just bounce off a car this summer and have an emergency apendectomy before the first game of the season) But they will do better. They will make it to the Super Bowl and play the Saints and win it.

Next LSU plays Mississippi State this weekend at 11:30am. I hate early games it's not right. The Tigers are supose to play at night. But the will still win this game hands down State is not a good team they got beat by Tulane two weeks ago and had a hard time against UAB last week but did win that one. I think Lsu will have another great game of running the ball and throwing it.

score LSU 43 State 9

Wake up

2006-09-27T17:20:00.000-05:00

O.K. I know we played Tulane this past weekend but still you don't fall asleep inside Tiger Stadium. That is what my lovely wife did. She put her head on my shoulder and I was talking to her telling her about the game and she never answered me I look at her and she is sleeping. Yes, she was at the talegate helping me from around 12:30, she didn't get her nap and the next day she came down with the flu but still....

Not the end of the world

2006-09-19T16:54:00.000-05:00

O.K. It's not the end of the world here. Yes LSU lost and the refs did not help out any with the bad calls. The SEC said there was no bad call in the game. (Don't know what game they watched but it was not this one) But play calling was not all that good either.

Now don't get me wrong I still like this coach and I think he will change his play calling next time. Like when you can't get the run game going.

The defense looked great they are #1 in total defense, # 1 in pass efficiency defense and tied for 1st in team interceptions with 6, with 7 other teams.

They play the Green Wave of Tulane this weekend and should just knock this team to the moon. LSU should run and pass at will. LSU will put this game away quick.

GEAUX TIGERS

LSU 54 Tulane 6

Auburn

2006-09-13T17:05:00.000-05:00

O.K. Lets get ready to rumble. I think that's what they need to say before they start the game. Because this is gonna be a battle. Auburn has a great team that why they are ranked 3rd in the nation. There running game is really good lead by Kenny Irons who ran for 218yrds last year at tiger stadium. I think the winner of this game will not only win the SEC but also play in the National Campionship Game. Now I could be wrong but I don't think so. Both teams to me look that good. So on that note I have to pick the score.

Tigers 17 Tigers 10 L S U

How 'bout them Tigers?

2006-09-11T20:39:00.000-05:00

First I would like to take a moment to look back at what happened 5 years ago this day. I know where I was and what I was doing. Carole and I just watch the last 30 minutes of the T.V. show they played and we just sat there with mouths open holding back tears. Just take a couple of minutes out of your day and pray for the families that lost love ones.

O.K. The winner of this weeks pick was yours truly. I missed it by 7.

Did they look good or what. There are still people out there talking about how this team is still not that good. They said that because they could not score a T.D. on the first drive. There are some people you just can't please. They just need something to fuss about. The Tigers have out scored the teams they played 90 to 6. The Tigers are 4 in the nation in passing and on defensive 1st on points allowed 5th on interceptions with 5. LSU's defense has not allowed a touchdown in 14 quarters.

2006-09-05T17:12:00.000-05:00

O.K. First of all the winner for the first week was Bradley and Keri. They both missed it by 7 points.

Now lets talk about the next victim. The Arizona Wildcats. This team is a step up from the Cajuns but not to big one. They only rushed for 67 yard and gained just 253 total yards there last game. So I really don't think this will be one of those end of your seat games.

The Tigers should do very well this game Russell should have just as many yards passing and I think the running game will be much better. The game starts at 5:30 and it will be on ESPN 2.

I will make it to this game. Carole and I could not find tickets to the last game. There were no ticket out there. I think I tried to late to get them. So we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and watched the game there. We had a good time.

Now my guess of the the score is Tigers 45 Wildcats 10

Game Day

2006-09-02T10:30:00.000-05:00

O.K. It's finally here "GAME DAY". The first game of the season. I'm so ready.

Last night Carole and I went to the Mobel station in Cental (a little town out side of BR) and got us a Tiger Burger. Now if you live here and have not had one you need to go get one. They are awsome.

This may start a new tradition for the Turner family. Our freind Karen told us about them and the other day on her blog she said how she missed them and Carole said lets go get one. Sorry Karen but it was sooo good.

And the winner is

2006-08-29T22:30:00.000-05:00

O.K. I ate breakfast this morning with my good friend Ron (yes that Ron from Rons World Rons World). And he said I need to ask what ya'll thought the score would be for the FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. So here it goes I'm gonna do this all season there may be a prize for the person who does the best for the year.

My pick and score is....

LSU 63 Cajuns 10

Now I know I gave them some credit having them score 10 but I don't think we will shut them out

3 Days to go

Cajuns

2006-08-22T17:49:00.000-05:00

O.K. This team my not be a walk in the park like everyone thinks. This team looks pretty good on paper and I'm not the only one that thinks this. They are picked to win the tuff Sunbelt conference. They have a pretty good running game and passing game. Last year there QB threw for over 800 yards(now that's a lot) and there RB ran for over 1000 yards. They have 16 starters returning. SORRY I can't do this anymore LSU should manhandle this team. They are so much better then this team. J V will have a 100yrd game Russel will play until halftime and Matt will come in and we may see Ryan. Then every want to be coach will call in the sports talk radio show and let us know how should be QB(never the one that gonna start the next week) and why.

10 MORE DAYS

Fire

2006-08-21T18:11:00.000-05:00

O.K. There was not one thing on the fire in Tiger Stadium in today's paper. So I went to LSUSPORTS.NET and found this.

Courtesy: LSU Sports Information
BATON ROUGE -- LSU has issued the following information pertaining to a fire inside Gate 3 of Tiger Stadium on Sunday evening.
At approximately 6:25 p.m. on Aug. 20, LSU Police Headquarters received an alarm at Tigers Concessions inside Gate 3 at Tiger Stadium. Upon arrival LSU Police Department officers discovered a fire inside the Tigers Concession Office and summoned Baton Rouge Fire Department. BRFD arrived on the scene at 6:30 p.m.
Due to the unknown nature of the fire, LSUPD Investigators worked with BRFD Arson Investigators and Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to determine the cause of the fire.
Investigators from LSU Police, BRFD, and ATF conducted a follow up investigation regarding the fire. As a result of information provided by a witness minutes after the fire and the assistance of BRPD, investigators located several juveniles who were allegedly inside Tiger Stadium when the fire occurred.
Interviews with the juveniles and their parents resulted in the arrest of three Juveniles for Trespassing and one Juvenile for Simple Arson. The Juveniles ranged in age from 9 to 14 years old. Officers anticipate one additional arrest of a Juvenile related to the Trespassing charge in Tiger Stadium

We have the worst sports section in our paper ever. They don't cover anything good. just watch the news and you can see what gonna be in the paper in 2 days. I'm looking for a good web site for LSU sports for free but can't find one. Let know if you know of one.

Proud dad

2006-08-19T15:54:00.000-05:00

O.K. I always wanted to be one of those dads that they show on t.v. when there kid does something good in sports. Like when my girl makes the winning basket for the Lady Tigers and my boy runs in for the winning T.D. But just a minute ago I brought steele a drink and he was sitting in his chair kicked back watching Barney with his hand halfway down his diaper(Al Bundy style). Thats my boy.

"It's Saturday Night in Death Valley...

2006-08-17T16:41:00.000-05:00

O.K. We have just over 2 weeks left and I can't what to see that band get on the field, spell out L S U , play the LSU Fight Song , form the tunnel for the players to run out on the field and kick some Cajun butt. And hang out with 92000 of my friends. I got to work the Coke tailgate party. But I will make the game.

Best sports related movies

2006-08-15T17:38:00.000-05:00

O.K. I was driving to one of my accouts and started thinking of the best sports movies I have seen. Theres so many and I know I can't think of them all. So I thought I would get ya'lls help. One of mine is DAYS OF THUNDER. I thought this movie was so cool and still is. When I first saw the movie I so bad wanted to be a Nascar driver and still do. One more would be Bull Durham. This would have to be the best movie that Kevin Costner was ever in.

let me know yours

Nascar Trip

2006-08-12T14:41:00.000-05:00

O.K. Back in June I was at one of the stores I sell too. I was waiting for the manager to talk to her and saw a contest on a beer display. I never win stuff like this but I filled out an entry form anyway. About 3 week later I got a call, I had won A trip to Dayton to the Nascar race for the 4th of July. Carole was so happy. She doesn't care at all about Nascar but she was happy because it was a trip to Dayton, Fla. Well Carole could not come with me because they only gave me $500.00 for Air fare and we could not find 2 flights under that price on that short of notice. So I asked her brother Joe to go with me. He lives about 4hrs from Dayton. I was flying into Orlando so he picked me up on the way.

The hotel was not the best but it was on the beach. Our seats for the race were great. We went to the race about 1pm. got a great parking spot because the race didn't start untill 7pm.So we walked up to the track,got our scanners for the race and look at all the stuff.Then we "tailgated" till the race started.

We met the people parked next to us.They were two good-old boys. One was an Auburn fan the other was a Georgia fan. They were pretty cool. They had their b-b-q pit out and were cooking some ribs. They had some friends come over and they were Florida fans. Now I don't know if you know how Florida fans are but they think they know everything. These people were no different. But we got along just fine. We ate ribs and played horseshoes. Then it was time for the race. It was a great race its always a great race when Jeff Gorden wrecks. We had a great time. Tony Stewart won the race and climb the fence. That seems to be his thing now.

THERE IS ONLY 20 MORE DAYS TO GO

Pray

2006-08-11T21:22:00.000-05:00

O.K. The other day someone really close to me that I haven't talked to in a long time called and told me he may have to go to prison. For a drug related crime. He has four charges on him and said he will plead guilty. Each charge can give him 4yrs each. His lawyer said he will ask for only one year for all or get released after one year. Now he knows he did wrong and I hope and pray that he stops hanging around the bad people he was. And start going to Church and realize he has a good wife, good kids , a nice house and a God that love him and will forgive him no matter what he did in the past. I have sent him some church names in his area and also our church web site you can watch it on-line.

Please pray for him I don't want to give his name but God know who.
THANKS

ONLY 21 MORE DAYS LEFT

Not that young

2006-08-09T17:04:00.000-05:00

O.K. Over the summer I decided I would play co-ed solfball. Carole and I played last year and we had a great time. So I thought we would play this year. Carole backed out but said I could go ahead and play. So I got some of the players I had last year and the league put some on my team. Then I get a call from one of our great friends and he ask me to play on his mens team. So of course I said yes. (Because I'm in such great shape!!!) Carole told me she didn't want to here me fusing about getting hurt or being sore. She knows me to well.

Now back in the day I could play solfball all day and weekend, but last night I played 3 games of solfball and I could hardly walk when I got home at 10:30 last night. And this morning,well this morning was not good. And the bad part was we lost all 3 games. This was only the 2nd week of the 8 week season.

Fan's

2006-08-07T20:23:00.000-05:00

O.K. Summer's over and it's time for LSU Football!!!!!!!!!

I was listening to one of our local sports talk radio stations and you would have thought we were 0-13. The way these caller's were calling in fusing about how this Coach is no good. Just because some of the new players did not report to fall practice because of grades. These people need to know that NICK is gone and he aint coming back.This Coach had a great season last year even with all the setbacks in the beginning of the season. He did something that the great football god (Nick) didn't even do that is beat Auburn,Alabama and Florida in the same season. Now don't get me wrong I think Nick was a great coach and helped LSU out a lot. But give me and Les a break.

Now that is one pretty sight...

25 more day's left until you see this sight.

Running Back

2006-08-05T13:21:00.000-05:00

O.K. Now I'm gonna talk about the running backs. But first I just saw the rankings and I don't think I like it. They have LSU at 9, I think that's close. But Ohio State at 1? I know Oklahoma will drop out of the top 10. After there Q.B. was busted. Ohio plays Texas early and that might help us out. Auburn don't really play any one untill they play us the third week and that's our first hard one. Althought Arizona may be a fight. And we all know USC don't play any one untill late and that Notre Dame. As mush as I hate to say it I think Notre Dame should be 1. Now both of my brother's are Ohio State fan's and they do not think I know any thing,they may be right.

Now back to LSU. I think Vincent will take over were he left off last year,althought I wish they would use Hester more. It looks like Broussard will be ready also. So its hard to know how will be the best one. We also have some good looking freshman in. Let me know which one you think.

28 more days!!!!!! I'm starting to get that itch.

Q.B.'S

2006-08-02T22:33:00.000-05:00

O.K. Who do you think will be the starting quarterback for the TIGERS and why?
There is a good story in the 225 magazine(this is a local magazine www.225BATONROUGE.COM) on the them. After reading this I think Russell will be the best man for the job. I think he got smarter and better over the summer. I have always like him but also thought Flynn was better or smarter as a Q.B. But after reading this and other stuff I have to go with Russell.

Let the game began!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 Day's to see

Teenagers

2006-08-02T21:51:00.000-05:00

O.K.
Last night we went to a Hillsong United concert at Bethany South. If you have never heard them before you need to listen to them. Any way there were about 3,400 people there. Over half of them were teenagers. I help with the parking. I got there at 4. It didn't start intill 7. One lot was over half full and there where about 2 to 3 hundred kids there. We ran out of parking space at about 6. We made it happen though (HPC Parking baby we are use to it.)

It was so neat to see all of those kids there with there hands in the air(waving like they just don't care) and jumping around worshiping the Lord. But then it was over and they started coming out of the concert acting like, well like teenagers. Walking in front of moving car,yelling at each other,and just acting well I hate to say it- stupid.

Now if any of your kids where there it was not them, they are angles.

gotta go bye.

O.K. Here we go. I don't know what i doing here, but I'm gonna try this out.
If your a LSU Tiger fan you can relate to this. I'm gonna tell you about the first time I went to my a LSU football game.
Carole (my lovely wife) went with friends to get spots in the student section, (It's first come first seat). Game time was 7( chance of rain never).I got off work at 4. I went to the game with our good friend Robin Waites. She had tickets on the east side 30yrd line north side. We snuck in to the student section where Carole was. They Had great seat (but we never sat in them).I get goose bumps just thinking about it .Words can't describe it .LSU beat the Auburn Tigers with a late T.D. If I had any thought of moving back to Fl. it was gone at that moment.I was hooked.That was 11 years ago.

32 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
