So because GoldenDawg says LSU will continue to do stupid shite, based on his terms, somehow the SEC will ultimately prevail in its lawsuit that claims LA is violating the 1st amendment rights of the league and forcing the conference to have LSU as a member institution against its will. Got it. :lol:

But they never did. Your post makes no sense.

And floodgates? See the news around the conference in basketball today? Were you paying attention to Alabama basketball last season?

But how are they going to win this lawsuit? Did the state of Louisiana somehow force the SEC to keep LSU in the conference against their will? That sounds like stupid shite to me.

frick the sec. Play him. This is like making up rules in the middle of a game with your friends. Always hated that shite b

A good term for this is Calvinball. Make up the rules as you go. Has been used in Supreme Court oral arguments.

It’s impossible to get serious, unbiased views here. I think a logical and dispassionate, 3rd party observer would understand the complete lack of seriousness on the part of the SEC in the way it enforces “rules” in light of Alabama basketball last year, Trinidad getting a 6th year, Texas rostering a player that went to minicamps while a kid who rehabbed and got $190 for gas money from the Saints is prohibited, etc. The absurdity of this while several players across the league are paid millions via NIL should be obvious to anyone. Even the stupid transfer portal rule change they floated this past week before getting reamed for it by the combined SEC fanbase should show you how unserious the league office is.

I think the bottom line is the SEC itself is navigating a bit of an existential crisis for collegiate athletics and trying to assert its authority even if has to play a little Calvinball to show the appearances of drawing a line in the sand.

Kiffin has ruffled a lot of feathers obviously, and Sankey despises Wade (and was undoubtedly pissed when LSU re-hired). The SEC office isn’t littered with LSU grads like it is from other schools. LSU, despite being a charter member with a pretty strong brand and a lot of national success this millennium, is not perceived as part of the good old boy network of self-perceived bluebloods. More so the crazy drunk uncle that is good for a laugh and only occasionally has its shite together. So a perfect institution to turn into a foil.

LSU is -10.5, I take it that must mean he is fairly limited next week? Otherwise a pretty surprising spread even when accounting for homefield.

Is it even contagious after a few days?

He has some obvious biases and plays politics with coaches and staffs in order to have access. Also knows how to play off fanbases to increase viewership and subscribers.

I still like to listen during the season to keep up with what’s going on elsewhere because I miss a lot on weekends with home games. But I don’t really take his takes all that seriously, it’s just entertainment.

With that said, I did get pretty annoyed with him about the 5 for 5 thing, he was clearly just riding popular opinion and making the lazy takes on that. Andy Staples was way better on that. But at that point I was mad at the world :lol:
