So did everyone else. The original script had Molly Ringwald’s character end up with Ducky. The women in the test audiences wanted her to end up with Andrew McCarthy, so Hughes re-wrote the ending. Not to be deterred, Hughes rewrote the script, flipped the genders, had the lead character end...
If that’s what you took from “(i)f Kelly does him a solid and allows him to find an NFL LB job,” and “(House) has to use “best efforts” to find a new job if fired. If he doesn’t go find an NFL LB job on his own, LSU has the right to deduxxt (sic) from the buyout”? Then I wish you well in your fut...
If you can explain to me why Matt House would resign rather than be fired, and voluntarily walk away from $2.88 million (ETA: $3.69 million before offsets) over the next 24 months, I’m all ears. Feel free to go into great detail, with lots of bullet points as you walk me through the contract lan...
He does. The key is how he separates from LSU before he leaves for the NFL. House is not going to terminate his own employment without cause, as that term is defined in the linked contract, and then leave for the NFL. You are correct that this set of facts would relieve LSU of the buyout obligat...
True. But in that situation it’s easy way/hard way The easy way is Kelly is nice enough to wink-wink tell House find an NFL job. But House isn’t gonna give up the buyout out of the goodness of his heart. He has zero incentive to leave on his own without LSU terminating him without cause, and nobo...
That’s an awfully definitive statement from someone who clearly didnt read the contract linked right there in the post. HINT: the answer your looking for is on pages 1 and 20 of the 21 page document in the link. ETA - mix in the bottom of page 11/top of page 12 also. ...
House gets his money anyway If Kelly does him a solid and allows him to find an NFL LB job, he gets whatever his new team pays him. From there, LSU owes House the difference between his LSU DC pay and the pay from his new NFL team. [link=(https://ath-ems.lsu.edu/prr/contracts/Employment%20Con...
Because Mike Denbrock accepted a position which was a) not a head coach b) not in the SEC or c) further than 500 miles from Baton Rouge, his buyout is only 25% of his remaining base and supplemental pay: [link=(https://ath-ems.lsu.edu/prr/contracts/Employment%20Contracts/Football/Michael%20Denbro...
This is exactly what I was going to post. I explicitly do not trust Josh Guillory any further than I could throw him. He seems to want to be a career politician, so he just started running for various offices until he found a race he could win. That’s the main reason I didn’t vote for him last g...
Even if State Farm gave you all of the money up front, unless your home is paid for the check will have your mortgage lien holder on it as a payee And most if not all banks won’t just sign the check. You sign and send it to them for endorsement, and instead of signing they hold the funds and dol...
It was until Southside HS opened a few years ago. Now none of the schools in Lafayette Parish are above 2000 kids. And in fact LHS is getting a brand new campus (at the same location). ...
Thanks. Was more curious about the social media stuff that you seem to track. But waiting til the kid actually gets into the portal makes more sense. ...
Any chance LSU has reached out to this JJ Wetherholt kid at WVU? Sophomore Big XII player of the year slashing .440/.510/16, and can play on the dirt. ...

You might counter and see if there is a way to do the original deal and keep the 14th pick so you can take a flyer on Derick Lively. But if it’s anything close to a dealbreaker then yeah - if you can get Scoot without giving up BI or Trey you call it into the league asap. ...
Is there a version of this trade where the big who ends up in NOLA is Mitchell Robinson? He’s not the shooter Turner is but he’s still very good defensively and may cost fewer assets than Turner. Plus he’d be coming home so perhaps more likely to sign an extension if needed?...
Minor quibble - the rain delay didn’t affect STM too badly. In fact, the only inning where they scored a run was right after the restart of the game. What STM didn’t handle well was the Weimer kid who pitched the complete game for E. D. White. He threw three pitches for strikes, never let a lea...
At the top end absolutely. As the schools get smaller the selects seem to be more talented. D1 non select is going to be an absolute war - any of the top 5 could win it if they get hot at the right time, especially with one game semis and finals. But the select side looks like it’ll be the Catho...
District champs still automatically get in. The official seedlings are out but not the brackets: [link=(https://www.lhsaa.org/siteuploads/editorimg/file/Baseball/2023%20Baseball_Seeding%20-%20Select%204-18-2023_xls.pdf)]Select[/link] [link=(https://www.lhsaa.org/siteuploads/editorimg/file...
[quote]LHSAA is scared to piss off Sulphur. [/quote] Not for much longer. The Youngsville Sports Complex either has, or is about to break ground on a group of high school sized fields, across the street from the soccer complex. Once the LHSAA has a viable, one-site alternative for the HS base...
That’s an interesting point. And anecdotally the power rankings seem to bear that out. For example the No. 4 seed in D1 select is Northwood, whose second best win of the season is a 42 point home victory over a 22-8 Class B school called Grace Christian By contrast, the No. 4 team in D2 sele...
