Hayden Travinski - Signed with the Astros and played a little bit of Rookie ball. Looks to be out of baseball. Always a national Champ and owner of one of the most violent swings I've ever seen.


Will always be one of my favorite Tigers. Glad he got his shot even if it was short lived. His streak at the end of '23 will always be one of the best stories. When he was on it was almost impossible to stop our offense.

re: Which do you prefer?

I prefer the alternative tiger eye but if I can only choose between those then I choose the 2002-2006.

The Tennessee Debacle at the goal line comes to mind.


I mean now that I am thinking about it. I love Brandon Lafell but he had 2 of the worst drops I have ever seen in '07 against Florida and Auburn and both of those drops were tipped up and led to interceptions. We won both of those games but from a player standpoint those were pretty embarrassing.

Most embarrassing play or sequence in a game?


I mean I would say the shuffle pass Jordan Jefferson tried to throw to Spencer Ware on 1/9/12 when he was blocking for him that resulted in an interception would be it for me.

Hes a combo of a receiver who never played and an All-Time great slot receiver? Thats a weird combo to suggest lmfao. Chris was fast but feel like you could have chosen someone else.

I know him and his family, and this is the biggest load of bullshite. The issues were not his. Unless you know what actually happened don't speak as if you do.

No. JD5 was fun to watch and had a great season but its not the same.

So far, from the 2023 CWS I've found 20 Major Leaguers. There are several more on the cusp. I truly think it's the most talent laden field we've seen in Omaha in our lifetime.


Was a very loaded CWS which made for great games all the way around until the last two.

No team will get to 20 points on this defense this year. 85 Bears and 26 LSU will be widely regarded as the greatest defenses to ever be assembled. Enjoy the ride.


Those are two bold claims.

Not playing Auburn and Florida every year is the cost we paid to import a bunch of fruits from Texas into the conference.

And it was not worth it.

Go back to 12 teams.


I couldn't agree more. Never should have taken the Aggies and Mizzou back in 2012. Big 12 should have stayed together and SEC should have stayed with the original 12.
Really wanting to see how the offense looks in the first Quarter.

re: Tommy Tanks getting the call up

Good for Tommy. Love it for him.
Kentucky is going to love the pickoff rule. Jay is going to hate the min batter rule with how much he loves matchups. Will be interesting to say the least.

bet Mendoza's number will be retired as he just did that at Indifrickinana, but I think these others deserve it too and a lot of them have their numbers retired:


Your threshold is lower then. Context matters.

the odds of it happening again at LSU in our lifetimes is quite low.


And the only player on that list other than Burrow who is worthy IMO is Cam Newton at Auburn.

Heisman and National Champion in same year is # retired. It's not like we'll run out of numbers with that criteria. I would say if you win the Heisman and Title it works, but a player could technically be a non-contributor on a title team then win the Heisman 3 years later. That is different.


There are certain numbers you just can't do that with. And where the program was in 2019 was much different. That long drought since 1/9/12 of losing to Bama and constantly having offenses sputter at the end of the season. There was just so much surrounding circumstances with Burrow that went beyond football that it will likely never happen again.

Has to be a case by case basis but I would argue there won't be a season or player like Joe Burrow's 2019 season.
Billy Cannon will still remain the only player to have the Number retired.

Burrow should be the number 2. I don't want to see anyone wear that number 9 again.
Hopefully with the new DL coaches there is some better technique and development for the interior DL. I do expect our pass rush to be better than last year from the DE positions.
I don't believe he will have the Offense be 1st in the SEC in his first year. But I do expect the running game to be back near the top and the overall offensive stats will be top 3 at the very least.
