Marine Project Casting Now
The UNTITLED MARINE PROJECT is a one-hour dramedy about a group of 18 to 22-year-old young men who enlist in the United States Marine Corps in 1990. We put them through the trials and tribulations of the grueling 13-week boot camp to see if they have what it takes to earn the title of Marine.
Based on the memoir, The Pink Marine, our unlikely hero Cameron Cope is a bullied, gay high school student who joins the Corps with his straight best friend, Ray. It was before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell when his enlistment is illegal, so yes, it’s insanely dangerous for both of them. But as fate would have it, turns out the Few and the Proud are a bunch of oddballs and eccentrics – and thus, a platoon brotherhood is born. In a world where the landmines are both literal and metaphorical, we take a hard and hilarious look at masculinity and what it means to belong.

The LSU Tigers face the Alabama Crimson Tidein a battle to stay alive in the College Football Playoffs.
In this article, we’ll show you the Fighting Tigers 2024 football schedule and how they fare each week against opponents inside and outside the Southeastern Conference.
Kicking off what promises to be a high-scoring season, first-year starter Garrett Nussmeier has stepped in and up admirably to replace Jayden Daniels as LSU’s quarterback. The emergence of freshman running back Caden Durham has added speed and brute force to the rushing attack and Kyren Lacy has become WR1 among a depleted group of wideouts.
Despite the new offensive coordinator, Joe Sloan, the Fighting Tigers are putting points on the board.

Week 1: USC 27, LSU 20
USC’s Miller Moss won the battle of quarterbacks over LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, who completed 29 of 38 passes for 304 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Moss went 27-of-36 as he shredded LSU’s secondary.
Week 2: LSU 44, Nicholls 21
No. 18 ranked LSU Tigers got their first win of the 2024 season matching up against fellow Louisiana state opponent, Nicholls State, who went toe to toe with the Bayou Bengals until midway through the third quarter.
Week 3: LSU 36, South Carolina 33
The Tigers were led by freshman running back Caden Durham as he led the rushing attack, scoring two touchdowns and running for 98 yards.
Garrett Nussmeier threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns, while tossing one interception as the Tigers won their eighth straight over the Gamecocks (2-1, 1-1).
As of the past three seasons, the head coach of the LSU Tigers football team has been Brian Kelly. He has achieved great strides in a short time, bringing experience and success from his previous tenure at Notre Dame. But is this the year for a championship? It remains to be seen.
Week 4: LSU 34, UCLA 17
Garrett Nussmeier threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 16 LSU outswung UCLA 17-0 after halftime for a 34-17 victory.
“Wish we were cleaner in the first half. The mistakes are maddening,” Tigers coach Brian Kelly said. “Those are the guys we got. There’s nobody getting traded. … We’re going to keep working with them and they’re going to turn the corner.”
Week 5: LSU, South Alabama
LSU handily beat South Alabama Jaguars as Garrett Nussmeier threw for a career-high 409 yards and freshman running back Caden Durham had 217 yards.
Week 6: LSU 29, Ole Miss 26
Officially, 102,212 people packed Tiger Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 12 to watch LSU’s thrilling come-from-behind victory over the No. 9-ranked Ole Miss Rebels in overtime. Read the game recap.
Week 7: LSU 34, Arkansas 10
LSU looked dominant in a 34-10 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville.
Week 8: Texas A&M 38, LSU 23
LSU led 17-7 at the half, but it was all Texas A&M after that. Garrett Nussmeier threw two touchdowns but three interceptions in the worst second half LSU has ever played under Brian Kelly.

- Strong Recruiting: LSU consistently attracts top high school talent from across the country, particularly from the talent-rich state of Louisiana and the southeastern United States.
- Competitive Facilities: LSU boasts state-of-the-art training facilities and a top-notch stadium, Tiger Stadium, known for its intense home-field advantage and enthusiastic fan base.

The 2024 hurricane season in the Atlantic Badin is shaping up to be a doozy.
The season’s activity is affected by climate patterns such as El Niño and La Niña, which could account for warmer temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean this hurricane season.
For 2024, forecasts suggest that the Atlantic might experience a moderate to high level of activity, depending on the prevailing sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
When Is Hurricane Season?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30 each year. During that time, warm weather creates tropical or subtropical storms in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The months when hurricanes are most likely to form — what weather experts call “peak season” — is between late August through September. That’s when you get sea surface temperatures conducive to the formation of cyclones. The historic Hurricane Katrina crashed through New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005.
The named storms for the 2024 hurricane season are:
- Alberto
- Beryl
- Chris
- Debby
- Ernesto
- Francine
- Gordon
- Helene
- Isaac
- Joyce
- Kirk
- Leslie
- Milton
- Nadine
- Oscar
- Patty
- Rafeal
- Oscar
- Tony
- Valerie
- William
Of those storms, so far only hurricane Beryl hit the United States, raking parts of Florida and Georgia before lashing South Carolina.
How To Stay Safe
- Stay inside your home and away from windows and glass doors.
- Close all interior doors and brace all external doors.
- Take shelter in a small interior room like a closet or hallway in the basement or lower level of your home.
- If flooding occurs, get out of the basement or lowest level of your home and take refuge on higher ground.
Stay Up To Date
New Orleans features a robust communications system that keeps residents abreast of the major storms. To stay in the know, all you have to do is sign up for the city’s emergency text messaging system.
To do so, text NOLAREADY to 77295. For Spanish notifications, text ESP to 77295.
Final Word
As a top-tier convention city, New Orleans is known for its many festivals, parties and events. Is the city safe? Of course. That also means that Nola is also a top travel destination.

You’ve heard about strong storms during hurricane season, but you might be wondering how powerful can those storms get.
Do Category 6 Hurricanes Exist?
According to measurable weather models, a category 6 hurricane doesn’t exist.
A Category 6 hurricane would theoretically be a classification for hurricanes stronger than those currently categorized under the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which only goes up to Category 5.
On this scale, a Category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of 157 mph (252 km/h) or higher, but there’s no official Category 6 designation.
However, some scientists and meteorologists have speculated about the need for a Category 6 classification as climate change has led to the possibility of more extreme storms.
This would be for hurricanes with winds far exceeding the 157 mph mark, potentially around 180 mph or higher. These hypothetical storms would cause catastrophic damage.
How Many Category 5 Storms Have Been in the Atlantic?
there have been 39 recorded Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. These storms are the most intense on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, with sustained winds of 157 mph (252 km/h) or greater.
Some notable Category 5 hurricanes include:
- Hurricane Andrew (1992)
- Hurricane Katrina (2005)
- Hurricane Irma (2017)
- Hurricane Maria (2017)
- Hurricane Dorian (2019)
Category 5 storms are rare but devastating, and the number has increased somewhat in recent decades, possibly due to warmer ocean temperatures.
