We have an Xbox360 in my son's room but he doesn't play it much. That's what I used to play all of the CoD games on. He plays the SNES moreOriginally Posted by Champ967
I hooked the PS4 up to the living room TV with the intention of eventually switching over to PS Vue.
I only have my son every other weekend, so we don't really need a WiiU. We have plenty of games
I was in Monroe Bed Bath and Beyond (wedding stuff, dont judge) and they had a rack of those fancy thermal mugs and cups, lots of tigger stuff, Saints, Cowboys, and lots of Laffy Taffy ?? for some reason? One single Ellaye mug. Of course, perhaps we're buying all the stuff they do stock
Yes, there used to be a bunch of Louisiana Tech stuff there. I'm telling y'all, Tech graduates buy stuff if it's offered by many of these box stores.I was in Monroe Bed Bath and Beyond (wedding stuff, dont judge) and they had a rack of those fancy thermal mugs and cups, lots of tigger stuff, Saints, Cowboys, and lots of Laffy Taffy ?? for some reason?

Now. . . if the dang buyers will notice their sales numbers and reorder accordingly.

Internet help desk people who insist that your personal equipment is faulty when your whole neighborhood is having connectivity issues.
"You mean to tell me that all 45 houses in my neighborhood had equipment go bad on the same day?"

Unless they have people like the one at Home Depot who, when asked why they didn't have an item, responded "We don't sell that any more. We couldn't keep it in stock!"
They have no idea what they're saying, do they?
The other day, I was at WM Academy to get 14YO a mouthpiece. . . .
There was a group of supervisor types and employees (about 8) discussing a display. I noticed a break in the discussion and took my chance:
"Is there a store manager amongst you guys who I can talk to for a second?"
The store manager stepped up and so did the DISTRICT manager.
"I would like to give you guys some information. If I were the manager of this store I'd want to know this information, so I'd like to share it with you.
"Louisiana Tech signed an agreement with adidas, effective July 1, to wear their apparel exclusively. Up front at your collegiate display there is some Tech stuff, but no adidas. (Store manager writes down in notebook).
"In the Monroe and Shreveport paper today, there is a quote saying the second highest earning diplomas in the state of Louisiana comes from Tech, a little bit behind LSU.
"What that article says to me is: Louisiana Tech grads have money to spend . . . at this store. (Mgr writes down some more.)
"Now, last year, 4th quarter, you stocked this store with a duplicate order of apparel for Tech and ULM. By Thanksgiving, 90 percent of the Tech stuff was sold out. Not impressive at all was the remaining ULM stuff. You guys need to tell your buyers to send you more Tech stuff. I would say it's a guarantee it would be sold, but last year's example should be enough proof.
District manager answers:
"We're going to check into it, but we might be too late to get adidas stuff for this season. Spring for sure. This is good information. Thanks."
Maybe they listened and will take action (before they leave their job or get transferred).

Excellent post. Good work.
Well that's piss poor planning. Does the university have someone who's duties include making sure these retail stores know what is happening?
Good note. Thanks for being proactive. We need MORE of that from our fans in north Louisiana.
We have a CLC rep who meets with our marketing folks. The rep is the one who is supposed to be making the calls on the inventory buyers at all these retail stores.
I'd love to give that job a shot.
PS-I was told by a City of WM economic development person the WM Academy is the No. 3 producing store in all of Academy-land. Their ace in the hole? Apparel . . . cuz all those stores are in Monroe.
The WM Academy doubles up their floor space on all kinds of apparel, including school khakis, jeans, shorts and polos.

Not really peeved, just annoyed a little...
Does the Weather Channel ever show anything but re-runs?
Referring to former athletes as "ex" LaTech football (or insert sport here) players. Dawgs for Life. "Ex" means excommunicated in my book "ex" wife' "ex" girlfriend. "ex" boss, "ex" cetera
And at UT-Austin, you're a Texas Ex, eh?

The worst is "former Bulldog."
Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog.
