Some guys are great in practice, but can't bring it in a game.

Maybe they didn't tell you to your face, but "choke artist" is the universal sports-term for that. I think you know that.

I posted a link to the fact that Majerus buying a kid a burger resulted in 3 year's probation from the NCAA



did you read your own link?

the cheeseburger wasn’t the violation.
WHERE the cheeseburger happened was the violation.

BTW, I see Thomas just signed a tidy little $100 mil deal. He was considered a below average WR prospect at Ohio St until Meyer put him on mega-reps on the Jugs.


Do you have a Jugs machine? Doesn’t seem like a bad investment to buy one, do mega-reps, then a $100 mil deal awaits

Yeah, I read my own link. "Burgergate" participated the 3 year probation.

And it supports my point that the NCAA can target and punish a program on the most chickenshit of reasons. And the fact that a burger, paid for by the coach, is "OK" in Majerus' suite, but "NOT OK" at the airport, PROVES my point.

Have to applaud you for standing tall in the pocket and taking your licks here. 8 straight pages of getting shite on and you’re still going toe to toe with some of the most intelligent and articulate posters in the land.



As an aside, if anyone is lurking and doesn’t have a TD username yet, LSU_Jugs_Machine would be perfect.

They may well be intelligent in their own fields, but they don't know squat about WRs training needs OR how ridiculously petty and arbitrary the NCAA enforcement department can be.

Show our receivers the videos of Beckham and Landry using the Jugs and then their check stubs. If they aren’t demanding time then you’d have to question their mental stability


I have no clue as to how much access our players have to jugs machines. I would find it insane if they don't have all the access and aren't encouraged to use them often. However it does appear that our current crop of WR's don't have the drive to use them a crazy amount, like Jarvis and Odell did and still do, is what bothers me. HOw do I know this? By watching them drop passes that they should have caught and rarely making the difficult or even spectacular catches. Imagine what a WR like Derrick Dillon could be right now if he had spent the time Odell and Jarvis spent on the jugs machine working on his hands.

I'm not your pro bono sports attorney. Google NCAA football regs in regard to offseason restrictions on coaching. If you find the 10 hour rule, you're getting close.

Clemson put a slide, lazor tag, and video poker in their new facitlity, we don't have all that. But what we should have put was jugs machines there where maybe some of the WR's and DB's would just kill some time using them. Have an area by the workout area as well where there is a dedicated area where jugs machines are always out and ready to use. Just get them out and make them convenient to use at any time. Then maybe have Odell and Jarvis come in and have a talk with the skill position groups about how they used the machines, how they benefitted from them, and games and workouts they use to do with the machines. Our WR's just don't seem obsessed with jugs machines the way they should be

The information I had is that the Jugs were tough to access through Spring football. I am also hearing that since the end of April, Brady has gotten more access for his receivers.

But nothing near the access that you suggest as a recreational area for receivers with Jugs machines readily available. Again, excellent idea.

I have learned on here that Jugs workouts are FAR less important than the risk of hurting Moffitt's feelings.

Everyone realizes the importance of jugs machines, just we do about pitching machines. Players need the proper equipment to train for this level of competition.

You came up so with some ridiculous accusations that you can't back up and made an evermore ridiculous claim that you suddenly have an inside source with the LSU coaching staff.

Lastly, don't even start with the worrying about hurting someone's feelings bullshite. Just the other day you were crying about people saying Burrow was average because they won't put him in the elite level of college QBs. Your entire purpose on this board is to yell "O-basher" as loudly and as often and possible. Now you come here talking about not hurting a coach's feelings. The kiddie table at a picnic would tell you to GTFO because you make no sense and contradict yourself in every other post.

The guy is full of crap and he knows it. He won’t admit it but he knows it.


I asked him a very simple question and he wouldn’t even answer that. Pretty much proves why he continues with his garbage.

I don't say this lightly, but he is a freak of nature as a receiver. All time great talent.

These next few years will define his overall career. If it were me I'd only like to have someone about to hit me each rep to attempt to create as close to a real life scenario as possible.

I haven’t seen any tape of the team on the jugs machine yet at fall camp.
The team is back in session, it’s on O now. Buckeye Jeaux must be conflicted af now.

First admit you were wrong about the burger NCAA violation



Good Lord.

I don't know anything about cheeseburgers being an NCAA violation nor do I care.

But I do know I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, well good god almighty which way do I steer.... Medium rare with mustard'd be nice, heaven on earth with an onion slice.... Throw on a thick slice of ham, NCAA violations be damned!

I love me some cheeseburgers in paradise!

Not sure what a twink is


A twink is a college football fan who claims he's a big fan of one program, yet follows a player who transfers to another program and then proceeds to tell the fans of the new program how special and talented the transferred player is despite that players stats telling a different story.

The "twink" also proceeds to insult the long time fans of the new program, telling them how mismanaged their football program is and trying to school those fans on the history of their program. While also "claiming" that they have inside knowledge of the new program.

That's what a twink is birdman.
