I paid like $40 a ticket SRO for the Monday game.

I'm going in February. Heard it's the best of the Secrets properties in the Cancun area from some friends. I'm looking forward to it!

I'd say 0%. I buy all my clothes at Ross/Sierra/Burlington/Poshmark.

I drove a 2001 Toyota 4Runner until the wheels fell off and felt like I upgraded to a 2025 when I bought a 2015 earlier this year.

I bought the house I could afford when I could afford it.

I've been flipping things on eBay for years and laugh when I find things that most people would consider a consumer good and I consider a profit.

The two things someone advising me would say to quit spending money on are trips and eating out, but you only live one time and you never know when it's your time, so I take my family out when I want and I go on trips with my wife and kids when I want.

It reminded me, almost exactly, of 1993 vs LBSU in terms of scenario. Only difference is LBSU didn't kick the ball around as much. A little help from the Hogs to seal the deal.

Great game. Once Curial was on, it felt like we had a chance.

It's literally the exact opposite of LSU baseball

Someone called it earlier in the week after he went 0-5. Same celebration and everything! Wow.

We just want to see him barehand and throw a ball 5 step too late...

Get out of here.

We want a playoff. That’s 18 holes of free golf

One of the best nights in Tiger Stadium that wasn't.

I think you can only understand both the joy and agony of Les Miles if you were a die hard LSU fan from 2005-2016.

IMO, he squandered away the 2006 team which was actually better than the 2007 team. I think that was his inability as an X's and O's guy showing early and then being compensated for by talent.

Then the 2007 was the unforgettable year that should have been. Only 2 loss champion of the BCS area. Lucked his way into the Championship Coach realm.

The rest was just a roller coaster of shite QB's and a guy who refused to change. You knew you were not going to lose to many inferior teams, you got used to winning every opener and dominating OOC teams (til the end), you knew you were going to win most games in ridiculous ways, lose a few the same, and probably never get blown out.

Then you had to deal with the fact that Alabama became a machine and kind of the anti-Les with essentially the same talent year in and year out. And happened to beat us nearly every time.

Les was a "right place, right time" kind of hire at a place that was in a right place, right time stage.

Brian Kelly is just a more polished version of Les Miles with half the accomplishments.

My wife’s uncle is the WSU all time stolen base leader, a 2 time All American, and led the NCAA in hits in 1991. He was a local kid. Two of my high school baseball coaches played at WSU and then in the majors. They were both STL guys. Until about 2007, Gene didn’t miss on regional kids from midwestern towns who were great players. You’d get a kid from Independence, MO or Sand Springs, OK that would turn out to be a complete stud. Then mix in some good Wichita boys as well and that’s a recipe for good baseball.

Plus WSU had top notch facilities until about 2005 as well. The facilities are still impressive, but baseball is different now.

Crazy to think they kept their run going through the late 90s into the mid 2000s. They just couldn’t get passed the supers. I remember FSU and UC Irvine beating them both in recent years. I think they won game 1 in both those supers. One of the coolest sports moments I was at live was WSU beating Arizona with a walk off double in a regional around 2005 to play UCI. I think there was 10,000 people there. The support was awesome Gene’s whole tenure.

I went to Gene Stephenson baseball camp for years growing up. Would wear LSU stuff. He always gave me shite. My mom used to watch Brent Kemnitz kids. I had the 5 Advocate posters framed in my room. I walked in one night and he was drunk reading them. He said thanks for making me remember the 2 worst days of my baseball career. I still see him on occasion. We laugh about it.
