No you're fricking wrong.


I'm not though.

You claimed we took 16 guys from the portal. I said you were wrong. You proceeded to make a list that included JUCO guys and a kid that never made it to campus, and a few guys you couldn't even name.

I said 11 guys because one of them began his career at LSU. His name is Grant Fontenot and on your list he was the unnamed Texas pitcher. You can say he's the 12th guy and that's fine.

But while you're citing wikipedia, I'm going off my memory, because I actually track these kinds of things. You were wrong in your initial post and you've been wrong since.

You keep trying to argue about "a few". fricking argue with someone else because I've been working in actual numbers, not vagaries.

Admit you were fricking wrong.

Didn’t they have a ton of transfers on their roster?

Last guy on the mound for CC was from Washington the State. CC obviously has plenty wide tentacles. Coastal has some very good players, but the better team won

How many of their players got drafted by Major League Baseball the past two seasons. They only had 12 players on their roster afterwards.

LSU did it before NIL and before the portal. They've adapted as the landscape (created by others) has adapted and now have done it in multiple eras, with multiple bat and ball types, in multiple parks where the championship is played.

Anyone who thinks digging your heels into one way of doing things is the way it should be and trying to devalue championships won by others is somehow less viable is stupid.

Their right fielder transferred in. I guess that doesn’t count. I’m sure there are others

I'd forgotten about that. Did they suspect a foreign substance in his glove?


Not sure, but that kid went to his mouth a lot. A whole lot. Might be nothing, might be something, might be gamesmanship from the LSU coaches. But the kid got unnerved.

Coastal is doing everything within their power to make me compliment Arkansas's sportsmanship. And I HATE that.

Take your beatings like men, Sea Chickens!

I anticipate they will have more. Their coach shined his a$$ a little too much for some, I suspect.

Good place to goop some stuff is inside your headband, but it’s tough to get to it without drawing attention if taking your hat off or putting your hands to your hat is not part of your body touch routine.

Unless, of course, there’s something that allows you to repeatedly access your headband.

Let’s be clear, I WANT to like Coastal Carolina, and would’ve pulled for them had they not been playing LSU.

The comments by the players: I don’t think the comments were intended to be disrespectful. I think they were asked a dumb question and weren’t prepared for it, so they gave a dumb response. It came across as disrespectful, but it was unintentional.

Schnall getting ejected: This had nothing to do with LSU. It was him vs the ump. He was wrong, he mouthed off to the ump AFTER being warned. He deserved to get ejected. But I it had nothing to do with us, so I don’t feel slighted in any way. I do think he’s a roid-raging idiot, though.

All that said, if CC is facing Arky for the championship next year, I’m probably still pull8ng for CC.

C'mon now, don't take this the wrong way because I'm all LSU, and you're right all teams do it, but LSU added 16 players from the transfer portal in 2024.
Wasn't that due to the NCAA roster expansion rules on scholarships being changed from 11.7 to 34.

And count how many got drafted over the last two years. We're a baseball machine pumping out trophies and MLB prospects. When the intake of quality players from high school isn't enough you gotta get em from somwhere.

LSU won before there was a transfer portal. LSU wins with the transfer portal. And the Tigers boast quite a bit of homegrown, developed talent.

If CC isn't capitalizing on their success the past decade and pulling in players then that's what we call a 'you problem'.

Or most of the kids who meet Schnall come away thinking he's a frickhead.

He's an embarrassment to CCU. His post game interview was completely unprofessional. Not sure if it’s the same in baseball as it is in football, but NCAA has fined the shite outta’ coaches for running down refs in interviews.

Hope they slap him with a fatty.
