re: The SEC cannot…

Posted by Geauxgurt on 9/2/26 at 8:06 pm to
LSU doesn’t have to take the players. The court order does not require them to do so, thus your argument is a bit useless.

:lol:
The bigger lawsuit for this is going to come when BYU players claim that their religious freedom is being infringed upon since they would lose eligibility time by taking two year missions after graduation.

It's coming, just wait.
Balmer should be forced to sell the team. that is the appropriate punishment for this.

Reality is the SEC made it even worse and should be sued for collusion when they explicitly only banned it for 3 sports (football, men's and women's basketball).

Either going pro in any sport eliminates your eligibility for that sport or none do. That should include international leagues, semi-pro leagues, and anything else.

Until they do that, they need to STFU about this specific incident.
Ah yes, I forgot Auburn paying Cam $200k to go there. :lol:

The SEC isn't going to make a ruling based on the NCAA's inconsistent medical waiver process.


Inconsistent? Pretty sure there has not been a kid getting a medical waiver over a sore throat until that Mississippi judge forced it. :lol:
of college athletics.

You have Alabama who bought players with Dodge Chargers for years, got players off suspension because of lack of AC, and under Saban stretched the ethics of collegiate athletics in every way, bitching about maintaining the integrity of the game.

You then have A&M who started the mess of basically buying the first NIL recruiting class out of highschool for $20 million bitching about the integrity of the game.

You have Ole Miss using a corrupt alum judge to allow a lying sack of shite in Chambliss to claim his tonsillitis cost him an entire season when his own coaches at Ferris State have said that isn't true, but want to bitch about losing the integrity of the game.

Then you have Texas, not only doing the same thing now, but also using Lamborghinis and free cars to bring in players in the NIL era, setting up a payday with no shows for their entire OL without them seeing an issue, but bitching about maintaining the integrity of the game.

Pretty damn hilarious to see this hypocrisy, and I do not even support bringing the players in at LSU, but you all need to stop being massive hypocrites.
Miles' biggest downfall was QB development while at LSU. After his inherited QBs from Saban and Jimbo were out, his squads went to utter garbage at the QB position.

His OCs were also playcallers who needed developed players to succeed.

It is crazy to think about how a Crowton or Cameron could do now with the transfer portal providing already-developed QBs who could push teams to the top.

Les was just ahead of his time by a little too much. :lol:
Miles issues were never talent as you said. LSU was top 3 talented in college football for nearly his entire tenure at LSU. The QB position was definitely hit-or-miss once his recruits took over.

Perrilloux derailed his QB recruiting by getting kicked off the team. His hiring of Crowton, while it helped LSU get an NC in 2007, also nearly cost them that same title and then led to no QB development for the next 3 years.

Crowton's history as an OC/HC had the exact same pattern everywhere he went. Give him a developed QB, and he will do great. He has to develop one? He is garbage.

Then, honestly, Les' hubris in 2011 got to him, and the teams never recovered. The 2008 fiascos led him to go back to his old school offensive mindset and kill his team's chances by being overly conservative. Hell, even in 2013, the offense was a disaster for much of the year with stupid decisions left and right.

Les never got a great QB developer once Jimbo left, and that is why LSU struggled like it did with 1 great offensive year in 2013 followed by garbage.


Cause the offense was still typical Miles offense and we had no QB worth a damn at the time as JJ had regressed massively.

You are only looking at the end results. They could have easily lost the UNC opener, and should have lost to a garbage Tennessee team except they out-derped LSU.

Sure the record looked nice at the end, but that was one of the worst offenses in quite some time at LSU with a 3rd year starter at QB. :lol:
In all honesty, that wasn't even funny at all. It was just a stupid attempt, and their stuff has gotten worse and worse each year.

Freeman would win outside ND. He's a good coach. But yeah, BK was a bum.


Not really sure about that. He’s a good coach, but ND has gone out of their way to give him 10 times more than they gave BK just to make BK look worse.

In the end, he’s a good coach that had he gone to build teams at other places, he could easily be like his mentor, Fickell. We saw it in his first year with some atrocious losses. Then saw it last year when they couldn’t beat a team with a pulse, and lost to the only good teams they played.

With all of the money the sport generates, a kindergartner can figure out that denying college athletes money in rev sports is a massive anti-trust violation.


Again, it produces a ton of revenue, sure. It doesn’t produce a significant amount of profit though because nearly every sport outside of football and men’s basketball loses money.

The high money brought in by football is what covers those losses. Only 10 programs out of 300 are not subsidized by their general universities funds. LSU is one of the ten.

In the end, this myth that schools are making money hand river fist and poor little student athletes aren’t getting their share is absurd.
So his client, who is in bad faith lying about how tonsillitis cost him a year, is okay?

Mars is a POS, so this is no surprise.

re: Milk Expiration Dates

Posted by Geauxgurt on 8/29/26 at 6:48 pm to
How long ago did you open it?

Expiration dates are based on unopened items. Once you open regular milk, it’s got about 7 days of being good.

If you get some brands like fair life that are ultra pasteurized, it may be 14 days, but still depends on when it is opened and those clocks start.

I do not know all the facts so may be off base, but it’s not just comparing 2022 to 2021 kids. It’s comparing the 2022 kids that went and did not go to the NFL. Because the decision came after the NFL decision, they did not have an opportunity to make a choice. So those that chose to go to the NFL got jipped. Just my interpretation


A lot of people are claiming they are the only kids in this decade to not get an extra year. I am just clarifying only players playing during the COVID 2020 season we’re getting the extra year.

These kids from 2022 are getting screwed, which is why I am fine with them getting a shot to come back. Just clarifying a fact being misused. .
I keep seeing people saying the 2022 kids are being jipped with the covidé year exemption before them and now this after them, but 2021 kids didn’t get any benefit. They got 5 to play 4 unless they were granted either medical hardship waivers or got TROs cause of a sore throat.

In the end, this still sucks for the 2022 kids, but actually get facts straight.

In the end, the courts are giving them an extra year to match with the rule change and court orders should be all respected and not picking and choosing which ones are okay.
Class of 2021 kids did not get an extra year. I really wish people would stop claiming they did. Class of 2020 kids did.

Should class of 2021 kids be allowed back to get their 5th year?

It sucks and I am fine giving these kids the extra year with how pathetic other players have hijacked corrupt courts to get 6th years like Chambliss, but let’s stop acting like they are sandwiched between people that got something they didn’t on their own.

(And yes, college tuition, books and room/board are crumbs compared to what the NCAA and these conferences were raking in)


Pretty impressive statement when only a handful of athletic departments even broke even.

You realize those huge revenues the schools pulled in paid for more scholarships in sports outside of the big 3, right?

Money that allowed more student athletes opportunities.

Sure,’some college coaches were getting paid absurd amounts of money, but to claim $400k worth of value (tuition, housing, food, free tutors, training facilities, healthcare and much more) is nothing.

College hasn’t been affordable in 20 years, but you are acting like these kids got peanuts.
quote:

We don't need to take that gamble with future penalties as a possibility


Pretty sure that the judge would reference previous losses where teams played players later found to be ineligible after a TRO was given as precedent that retroactive penalties could not be applied if the schools followed the restrictions once a TRO or injunction was overturned.
