re: Arkansas fans.

I just left the Aggie game (went to watch Montgomery), and had zero issues with the fans. They may be a bit quirky but everyone was extremely nice - and yes I had LSU gear on....

re: Update: Video clip of Jordy this morning saying LSU boosters are making plans to pay KB

I just posted this on the SEC Rant. LSU is way behind the 8 ball and I don't see how they can keep up. The transfer portal will just be one big free agency free-for-all, but it was already headed that way.

re: So Texas is preparing to pay 250k and up a year per player
Posted by texastigger on 12/17/21 at 11:54 am
Never saw any actual support posted for the $250K claim, but here it is. Horns With Heart is going to pay linemen $50K per year starting in August '22. They are just one of many such orgs setup for UT. As a businessman I don't see how any of this makes sense given that most people have no idea wh...

Fortunately, we aren't there yet, but yes, it's a whole different level in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc. For many of those kids it is their only way out of poverty. There is a local coach, who I know well, that just took his HS teams to spend a week in Puerto Rico and it looks li...

I hear what you are saying and it makes sense and I know exactly what you are talking about. I know several former baseball players that are "financial advisors" and I use that term loosely. I just know how closely schools like A&M and Notre Dame stick up for their alums (I was offered a full-time...

If you're throwing who you know into the equation then that would definitely take LSU out of the equation don't you think? I can't think of too many advantages offered by the good old boys club of LA as compared to a Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Stanford or even Vandy. Look, I love LSU, but I think my d...

Posted by texastigger on 6/21/21 at 12:50 pm
What planet do you live on? A degree from Vandy is infinitely more valuable than a degree from LSU - not only from an academic standpoint but also the connections and prestige. If my son is fortunate enough to to be looked at for college ball in a few years, and choices are between Vandy and LSU, i...

re: Dylan Crews will hit nukes this year
Posted by texastigger on 1/23/21 at 8:41 am
[quote]It's a metric that only tells you how hard a ball is hit WHEN the hitter makes solid contact. It does not assure that he will square it up on any consistent basis. That's number 1: But, also, I didn't say that high exit velocity wasn't an indication of solid contact. That is what puzzles me t...

I'm sure you already know this, as well, but you don't have to swing real hard, if the pitcher throws hard, to have a pretty high exit velocity. It's the least important metric, in my humble opinion.[/quote]
Not here to argue the relevance of EV, but this simply isn't true. Per Dr. Alan...
re: Dylan Crews will hit nukes this year
Posted by texastigger on 1/22/21 at 10:10 pm
They have those stats and one of which is barreled balls for hard contact. Avg exit velo for the MLB last year was 89.1. Avg max exit velo was 110.5. Barreled ball % was 9% on average, which ties directly to max velo. Regardless, if Crews is putting up those numbers then he is elite....
re: Baseball hitting facility

My son's training facility in TX has all that and more. It's crazy how much money they have in some of these facilities throughout the country.
On another note, I watched a young LSU recruit (no names) hit over the holidays and he was hanging in there with several minor league guys. Kid was dam...
