I hope it turns out to be a great facility. It’s always good to see LSU keeping their buildings updated. For the longest time LSU didn’t do the best job of maintaining their facilities. ...

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 possibili...

Dude, you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. You haven’t seen plans and you certainly aren’t privy to any discussion of other costs options for this project. You’re a sucker ! Nobody on this board knows what the costs options are. Everyone discussing this topic can only be speculating. ...

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 bui...

Back off the ledge there big boy. It’s gonna be OK !! ...

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. ...

Maybe that’s my problem. I’m not really the sentimental type of guy. That old building doesn’t do anything for me. That particular spot on campus is prime realestate. I guess I like to see something more substantial there if possible. It having HPL’s name on it means nothing to me. It’s an inan...

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. ...

It’s really Tulane’s fault that they don’t play LSU every year in football. They were pig headed and tried to force a home and home on LSU when it was statistically factual that when LSU played Tulane in New Orleans that the vast majority of the crowd were LSU fans. LSU basically gave them an ulti...

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 facilit...

This is a waste of time and money. They should scrape and rebuild. We’re not in the 1920’s anymore. A brand new building would serve the campus better. ...

Snappa Lappa...

Do you think human nature is different in other parts of the country? ...

As in a salad tosser?...

Maneiri still likes to recruit mostly short stops. It’s not an excuse. Look at his team. It is what it is. Like I said, I’m no PM fan. However, these fans that are calling for his head after 2 games are ignorant. No decent coach really knows what he has until they have played half the season; a...

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 mand...

You are correct. Maddux could certainly throw in the 90’s and often did. He also lived a lot in the 80’s. The point is made perfectly, if you aren’t ready for the pitch 94mph or 87 will certainly lock a batter up. ...

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 o...

You can be sure that that isn’t what happened. Maneiri has won over 1000 baseball games in his career. I’m no Maneiri fan but I can figure out that he didn’t just decide to throw the kid in at 3rd because he smelled good that day. FYI, kids that are great pitchers on baseball teams often are great...

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 ma...
