If I had to guess he ends up on a team that thinks it’s a pass rusher away from the SB, has cap space and can lure him on a short-term deal and the opportunity to win a ring. I’m not familiar with who that team might be, but there are a few with ample space.

On that note, it amazes me the amount of cap space some of the top teams have going into FA. Seattle at $62m and LAR at $45m under the cap puts both in a really good position to keep the rest of the NFC in the rear view mirror for a while.

This is the most beautiful snake I have ever seen.

looking for a gun that a small woman would feel comfortable enough with to use


If a 12g shotgun is what you’re considering I’d recommend taking her out to train often. After the first time she shoots it it may take a lot of practice and encouragement from you for her to feel comfortable and confident shooting it.

Shotgun is an excellent option, but for a petite woman it can be a challenge. A 20g might be an option, though I’m sure you’ll get some pushback here about that.

I don’t like to make recommendations on an actual firearm because everyone is different. But a full-sized 9mm with at least a 4”+ barrel loaded good self-defense ammo could be one to look at. Infinite options exist for this one, so take her to a range and let her try what they have to determine the grip, which she handles better (recoil)… lastly, she may prefer a revolver, so try that too. A 38/357 might be an option. Good luck.

I have to imagine part of his decision process is getting feedback from the NFL on his draft prospects. The fact that he’s still pursuing another year in college tells me he’s not getting a first or second round grade from them. If he were it would be financially irresponsible not to go pro.

However, if his options are to play at OM for $4-5m or hope he shows out at the combine and personal workouts and becomes a first or second rounder, then college is the safer bet.

I think you’re right. His last 4 HS classes at OM were: 16, 23, 23, 21. I can see it tick up to the 25 range, but I think he’ll be picky on his takes and not make offers just to hit a number. So it will vary.
As someone who watched LSU basketball in the 80s-early 90s I absolutely, 100%, without a doubt want to experience what we as LSU basketball fans did then. It does matter to me.

In the 80s you had some good years of LSU football. But the constant was that LSU basketball was going to be competitive and win. Two Final Fours, an Elite Eight… yeah, it was pretty damn fun and exciting. NCAA selection day was always so much fun, and of course the first weekend of games was a blast and much more interesting and exciting.

I can imagine if you’ve only been a fan the last 20 years or so you remember one really good season, the 2006 Final Four team. Outside of that and the Wade years it’s been a lot of crappy basketball on top of crappy basketball. So I guess you tend to have no expectations of anything better. Fortunately I know how fun it can be. A lot of older fans like me know exactly what I’m talking about.

We talk about the LSU “brand”, and it would be really nice for the basketball team to add value to the brand instead of taking from it.

No need to be a dick. I know the NCAA recognizes 1908. Though you don’t agree with my take I laid out my opinion pretty clearly. If NCAA recognizes it that’s good enough for me. So maybe your comprehension needs a tune up.
quote:

I have said this in a number of these post. In the 70s and 80s LSU flew 2 flags in the Northeast corner the bottom flag said 1908 National Champions and the top Flag said 1958 National Champions.


I didn’t know this. Why’d they take it down? Probably something stupid like taken down to clean and dummy forgot to put it back up. :spank:

The NCAA recognizes LSU as one of the champions of 1908 along with Penn. It’s no different than not recognizing 2003 because it was a “split” (chicken shite) champion.


I get it. Definitely not trying to diminish the legitimacy of it, nor am I meaning to criticize you guys who are for recognizing. A part of me wishes we would. I think the Auburn thing sours me on it somewhat because I found it exceedingly cheesy. But maybe that’s just because of the way in which they did it and because I can’t stand Auburn.

I get it, but why hasn’t LSU done it all these years? I don’t know. As I said it just doesn’t offer anything IMO to do it now. Wish it was on the board for LSU all these years, because it IS on the NCAA site.

I’m not completely against it if it could be done for instance at halftime of a non-conference game. In the stadium only, raise the flag. But I’m against making any big announcement with toilet paper and cookies, X posts and celebrations. Unfortunately it’s too late to invite any former players to stand at midfield, but maybe we could find some grandchildren. :lol:
I think the new administration is going to show us in a month that it does.

I can understand how some are unconvinced. I believe Woodward really thought McMahon was a good coach. He was a hot name then. But it was pretty clear after last season that he’s overmatched as major CBB coach, and Woodward should have cut losses. Injecting additional NIL was a nice effort, but even the add money is paltry in comparison to what needs to be spent to compete consistently within the conference. Not a Woodward fan, but I honestly don’t believe he was ok with the basketball losing because it turns a profit. He just made two big decisions related to MBB, and both turned out to be colossal failures. And he doubled-down this season and now won’t have a third chance to fix it. Thank God.

The bigger question to me is will the DONORS show that LSU cares about basketball. If they don’t step up like they have for football then we’ll know where to place our expectations.

I wish LSU had recognized the 1908 title a very long time ago. BUT since they didn’t I’m on the side of not outwardly doing it 118 years later.

It really offers nothing to LSU or its fans other than a talking point to other fanbases in arguing “we have 5 national championships!” So what.

We jab on Alabama for recognizing championships even for a 3-7 team named NCs by a Tuscaloosa Times fan poll. Exaggerated example, but goes to the point.

The nail in the coffin for me is Auburn unilaterally recognizing multiple national championships this past season and how pitiful it appeared. To me it was widely criticized and laughed at. It only made some of their fans poke their chests out, but I’d bet a lot were embarrassed. I don’t think it brought any positive attention to Auburn. It was an admission that they somehow needed to do it out of insecurity about their real status in the CFB pecking order and an effort to bump it. Colossal failure IMO.

This tweet sums it up for me. They proudly announce that they are unilaterally recognizing 4 new NCs with a photo including toilet paper with an Auburn logo on it. Toilet paper. WTF thought that was a good idea?! But it’s appropriate - that’s how their claims should be recognized - NCs only written on toilet paper.

There were several humorous X posts from Auburn and its fans that day. One that I can’t find is one of a cookie with the newly-recognized NC years written in orange, blue and white icing. A freaking cookie.

I’m fine with the 4 legitimately-recognized flags flying in Tiger Stadium.

Thankfully for LSU, Ole Miss promoted the wrong coach to HC. If they’d been smart it would’ve been Weis. Of course I don’t know if they did offer him, and he turned it down. But if they had the choice they f’ed up IMO. Weis would scare me at OM, Golding at OM excites me as an LSU fan.
I think Wade would demand the type of NIL commitment he sees the football program getting. I’m not sure that’s going to happen. And honestly if LSU doesn’t commit big bucks to basketball does it really matter who the coach is anyway?
A lot of kids stayed home or close to home to play at that time. But a good number of the top LA kids went all over the place.
