Sort of a mirror image of President Trump, who's on video making a public declaration: "I don't think about Americans, and their financial situations."
I can only hope and pray this gross misstep will contribute mightily to Trump's impeachment and prompt removal from the presidency when Democrats win majorities in both houses of Congress.

This kind of public gaffe pales in comparison to his faithless execution of his presidential duties. He's currently working out a plan with China to hand over Taiwan in exchange for opening up the Strait Of Hormuz. Simply gross
I really do think we'll have a worse record in 26-27. It's obviously a rebuilding year, but it'll be a foundation, a learning experience, a growth formula. Like Dale Brown-- he went through five poor-to-mediocre seasons before assembling a solid nucleus of players who won big for four straight seasons. And he continued winning for about 10 more, including the Final 4 team in 1986 and the Final 6 team (Dale's words, not mine) in 1987.

Good advice. It won't be as brutal from here on out as we're not scheduling early season day games any more, but the ill reputation of that side of the stadium is well established. I thought the heat was brutal for Auburn back in 2017 (the famous "comeback" win) but that UCLA game heat in 2024 was unreal.

It's reality. Everyone agrees this will be an extremely challenging game for these Tigers. As will the following Saturday vs Aggies
That game set a new record for heat at an LSU game
Not recommended for daytime games in August, September or October. The heat can be unbearable for those 2:30 pm starts

Toxic empathy

That's the ULTIMATE oxymoron. Empathy is a good thing, and something that must be learned in human emotional development. It can't be "toxic".

Not even close. Smoke had two CWS teams, one superregional team, one NCAA Regional hosting team, and one 13-17 SEC team who finished fifth in the SEC tourney, who won 35 games and were on the cusp of making a regional
Talarico will eat Paxton's lunch, and you know it. Polls have come forward in the last week indicating that as many as 1 in 4 REPUBLICAN voters would be willing to choose Talarico, if Paxton is the nominee.

Cornyn attacks Paxton for marital infidelity

I'm not fond of such ad hominem personal attacks, but with this campaign it's justified, and Cornyn is wholly within his purview in choosing this attack strategy.

Paxton has built his campaign on such themes as posting the Ten Commandments on K-12 classrooms throughout the state as well as burnishing his Christian credentials and courting the "Bible Beater" vote. The man is an ethical zero --- as much a hypocrite as he is a crook.
A hypothetic scenario:

Say we get hot the next two weekends, and:

1) win 2 out of 3 vs Florida

2) go on a minirun in the SEC tourney, ala 2024 winning the first four, maybe feasting off of the weak sisters (Kentucky, S. Carolina, Missouri, et al) before getting pounded in the championship game.

3) Could this earn an NCAA Tournament slot? Just sayin

the 2007 lsu team was worse than this team

The 2007 LSU baseball team was NOT worse than this year's team. That team was 11-12-1 SEC after an upset (2-1 games) series win @ #3 ranked Arkansas. They lost their last two series, 1-2 vs Florida and 0-3 @ #1 Vanderbilt, partly courtesy of the infamous Vandy Whistler, who was more strident and annoying then than he is today.

Nothing at stake, other than pride vs Florida. The Gators have gon full Brenda Lee the last two weekends
