You guys are straight stupid. Bout 4 people understand whatchall sayin. ya dig ?

BS !!! Going Oppo is more about approach than any change to a hitters hitting style. You go oppo when you're down in the count and the pitcher throws a strike on the outer half of the plate. You either learn to go oppo or learn to how to take a seat on the bench.

I don't think this issue has anything directly to do with the sport itself. This is more of an internal issue than a sport issue. Anyone who is suggesting that LSU might get the death penalty is uninformed on the subject. Les Miles banging a co-ed has nothing to do with football compliance; nor does a player abusing his girlfriend. I'm not trying to diminish the offense, I'm just stating that it's not as much of a sport issue as it is an internal issue and Title IX compliance issue. Miles didn't violent any recruiting guideline.

If it’s overused then why did Joe Brady feel the need to use it, along with the gloves, special glasses and implementation of closed doors etc? It may have not have been some new invention in college football to improve hand eye coordination, but it was obviously a new approach for LSU. Based on the creation of the video, it wasn’t something LSU had done previously.

I agree that the Middleton Library has always been an eye sore. I also agree that it may be possible to repurpose the existing facility for significantly less money. However, that depends on what needs to be done to repurpose the facility to the new design. It is not out of the realm of possibility for it to cost more money to repurpose the existing facility. They want to keep the existing facility because of it’s historical value. Sometimes that means they know it will cost more money but they want to preserve the history. This is quite common and shouldn’t be a surprise that that could be the case. I’m not saying that is the case. I’m saying it could be a possibility and is not necessarily a far stretch. To scrape an existing building isn’t as costly as you might think. Remember, LSU chose not to renovate the North End Zone dorms in Tiger Stadium because the costs were prohibitive. I’ve not seen anything in anything LSU has put out stating that renovating the existing building was chosen because it was the less costly option.

To bring a building that was built in the 1920’s into current design standards will take a shite ton of money just to get to a point where it can begin to be rebuilt with current materials. That is no small cost. I’m not sure where it is that you get your numbers from. I’d be willing to bet that building was built with asbestos type products as well. You just throw it out there that you think it’s cheaper to remodel and renovate a structure built in the 1920’s. I know a little bit about construction and architecture. I can assure you that it’s no cheap undertaking to prepare that building such that it can begin to be rebuilt with modern materials. It’s not that simple. Lot’s of demolition will be needed before the building can begin to be put back together. It’s quite possible that LSU is aware it cost more money to do it that way and have chosen to pay the additional cost to keep the existing structure. That doesn’t necessarily mean that a scrape and rebuild isn’t a feasible alternative. I’m just saying, keeping the existing structure doesn’t necessarily mean that is the cheaper option.

I agree ! If Wade’s team is struggling he doesn’t have all the pieces. He’s obviously not got what he needs to have the complete team. I do believe the man can coach. I doubt LSU can find a better coach without a much larger commitment $$$$ to the sport.

I respectfully disagree. You could scrape that entire facility for a fraction of the cost. You could build a very large facility for $23M or $24M. That would be a nice size building. That’s a lot of money.

They are wasting money trying to force the usage of this existing facility for no other reason than it’s old and built in the 1920’s. Fact is the building is not fully functional without a great deal of reengineering. LSU’s needs would be served FAR BETTER if they would scrape the existing facility and build a brand new facility on such premium property. Somebody at LSU is trying to shove a square peg through a round hole by trying to force this existing facility to work. Bad idea !!

I’m not a big PM fan and it wouldn’t upset me if LSU went in another direction. Fact is, the game today is quite different than when Bertman invented Gorilla ball. The whole bat and ball specification from several years ago probably affected LSU more so than some other schools as it basically mandated that LSU learn how to recruit players that could play “small ball”. PM basically likes to recruit SS at almost every position.

Then when teams at the CWS had several years of only hitting a handful of home runs during the entire CWS they changed the ball again and lowered the seems on the ball. That last change they made actually lens itself to more to helping the hitters. It created more hits off the wall and allowed more home runs. I think LSU has been slow to adjust to all of the changes to the bats and balls. Those changes changed the college game. If forced teams to adjust. I think LSU adjusted poorly in terms of how it reacted to those changes.

Yes, if you don’t have the right approach at the plate a 94mph fast ball will most definitely lock you up. If you’re not expecting fastball you may be in a pickle. If you’re looking outside and the pitcher comes inside you may be in a pickle. Point being that if the batter doesn’t have some idea of what pitch he’s looking for he puts himself at a much greater disadvantage. 94mph is plenty fast to lock a batter up. Greg Maddux used to lock batters up with an 86mph pitch. He relied mostly on location.

I’m not a PM fan. In fact I’ve suggested LSU needs change in the past. However, I have played baseball and I’ve coached based enough to know that anyone who has any real knowledge of the game knows that in a 57 game season there is no way to know what your best lineup is after 1 or 2 games. It may be game 30 before he finds something close to his best team. This is a new season. Calling for his head now is just plain ignorance of how the game is played.
