Because US kids are lazier than their European counterparts. Most kids in the US don’t grow up playing tennis. If they are good athletes they play football or basketball or baseball.

Watch tennis on the biggest stage. Not very many Americans. I just googled it and only 5 Americans ranked in top 50

Looks a bit….sporty. 2.5-3.5’ seas are miserable to fish in, even if your boat can take the beating getting out.


I've tried to tell my young nephew this, but he doesn't understand. :lol: I ain't going out in 2' + seas.

You just aren’t supposed to steal away players to a place like LSU. It’s why they hated him so much the first time


If there is a hatred out there for Wade, then why didn't Wade accomplish this at NC State? Why the outrage now he is back at LSU?

Seems like a forced narrative to me.

a combined 1-20 against SEC opponents who had a winning record

Say it isn't so, Joe. That's more than enough information, to sicken even the LEAST squeamish.


yeah we all knew we were bad, but that stat was :wha:
I keep seeing this stat pop up on social media posts...

"In football, mens basketball, and baseball, LSU went a combined 1-20 against SEC opponents who had a winning record in conference play.

LSU was 15-41 in SEC play over across the three major sports, their worst conference record since 1965."


So I looked up SEC records:
3-5 - Football
3-15 - Basketball
9-21 - Baseball

15-41 overall :yack:

The Jackson estate released this movie to try and rehabilitate his image so they could make more $$$.


Absolutely. I thought this while watching the movie. They definitely controlled the narrative. :lol: The movie went above and beyond to paint Michael in a positive light. Whether true or not, it made for a better movie.

I don't like it. But here we are so I don't care.


I agree with this sentiment. NIL has ruined college sports.

Was MUCH better than I thought it would be


Great movie. Saw it last night.

All this stuff is dumb and needs to stop. If you've played professionally at a sport, you shouldn't be able to compete in the same sport in the NCAA thereafter


I agree! Kinda like letting men play in womens sports?

Its been so damned windy this April and May. Blowing 25 again today. Not many spots to hide from that kind of wind around Big Lake. I've heard mixed reports, with some really good reports mixed in when the weather cooperates.

Jay Johnson just quoted to say that should be enough for a win. If LSU just wins 5 of those they are in the post season.


LSU should have won all of them.
quote:

2 things can be very true.. the championship seasons were great. But this is one of the worst teams here in a very long time (could be the worst in the last 25 years). It’s pretty unacceptable for a program, like LSU, to not even make a regional with the money and resources spent.


This. From preseason #1 to the worst team in decades is pretty bad.

Bute the bullet and buy a party barge.


Yep...tahoe isn't good for fishing. There really is no good ski boat that makes a good fishing boat.

Party barge probably best option. I'd look for a newer tri-toon with bigger engine than can easily pull the kids tubing.

Isn’t he a lib?


Imagine giving a shite. He’s a frickin musician what do you think his politics are? Tards so ate up with politics they can’t function normally in society without getting triggered about it are why this country is going down the shitter.


Exactly all of this! I want to go back to the America where I could like the guy's speech and like his music and not give a shite about his political leanings.

But its easier to hate on someone like Springsteen who's music sucks and is a lib.... :lol:
quote:

The UCLA game was the HOTTEST I have ever experienced


same here. and I've been going to games for a long long time.

I sit on East side. I enjoy my seats, but like many have said, it can be brutally hot during a day game.

Also East side tends to have more "away" fans mixed in. I'm on East side but on around 25 yard line and its close enough to where LSU sticks the "away" band and their fans, that you usually hear their band more than LSU.

Shane and Tony were fantastic. They carried this shite show


Yes they did. They didn’t look too comfortable in La La land.

I thought Tom Brady did a great job given the material from Kevin roasting him.

Katt was cool but he should have told Kevin to frick himself


Would have made it much better. It was some made for tv bull shite.

I haven't heard of anyone making it out of Cameron yet. The wind has been brutal here so far in May.
quote:

Two things can be right at the same time:

1. Jay has run an excellent program that has won 2 of the last 3 championships.

2. this years baseball team is nearly unwatchable.


All of this is true!

This team was preseason #1 and now won't even make the tournament. Fans have a right to be upset.
