re: La Tech fans, how do ya'll feel this season will go?

Louisiana Tech looked sorta good tonight.
The USA game is massive.
The Cajun tears are going to be salty tonight. We are listening to the ragin review and taking a shot every time those Cajuns say Tech.

re: How imminent is a housing crisis in this country?

First thing - real estate home tax freeze or reduction for senior citizens is a nightmare for the younger crowd - there is a natural flow of ownership and showing preference to an aging population as to real estate taxes is good for no one.
Most Americans age 45 and older grew up in 2,400 HSF or much less - today’s young homebuyer want the McMansion with all the bells and whistles - that allows decay instead of rehab to creep into older neighborhoods.
Younger buyers must adjust to normalized interest rates - today’s rates are not high - today’s rates are at historical norms…..we have been blessed / cursed with low rates for nearly 2 decades.
Finally - mortgage lenders are likely going to have to offer substantial discounts to low rate borrowers to exit mortgages early to get the real estate pipeline moving. The lenders can collect new feee and better margin going forward if they churn the COVID period rates.

re: Former Chargers/LSU DT says NFL is rigged

Well, this post is spot on….
quote:
I don't think that officials try to "rig" games for particular teams, but I do think they influence games to keep them closer. I don't think the NFL cares who wins the game, they just want them to be close so that people stay tuned in and don't turn them off. It's all about the TV ratings and getting a larger media rights deal.
re: How true is this? ULM haven't had a winning season since 2012 and might downgrade to D2

Louisiana State University
Louisiana Tech University
University of Louisiana - Lafayette
Those are your 3 public FBS schools that should be operating - the rest of the schools need to be FCS at most - and more likely DII.

Old line WASP family and he pretended to be a country bumpkin to get elected….all scripted….and all started with the family’s and his exclusive secret society connections at Yale…..now he latches on to liberals to help shape an image.
Peel away the layers and there is a family that does not have the time or care for the hoi polloi of the nation.

135 is too much if the Pels play defense like they have shown they can.

Louisiana Tech has some massive special teams issues. That will cost them as the season moves along.
Louisiana Tech defense is for real - maybe one of the faster defenses outside the top 15 teams in the nation. I don’t think ULM crossed Tech’s 45 the entire game.

re: JMU board votes to accept invite to American

At the end of the day, if you are not BIG10 or SEC, you are going to have to rethink your college athletics business model. That includes the ACC and Big12.
It is really the Power 2, the Mid 2 and the Group of 6. And unless you are in the Power 2, you need to be asking some serious questions about working together.
At the end of the day, the SEC and BIG10 will break away from everyone else, make tons of money and be the NBA, MLB and NFL feeder league….and good for those schools.

I get the sense that Tulane and USF are all but gone from the AAC. I am guessing Tulane will move to the PAC12?
These tv deals for conferences not called the SEC and BIG10 will face a day of reckoning come renewal time…..and the AAC, PAC12 and MWC will see significant tv revenue decline.
The debt that some of these schools carry to support athletics is mind blowing…and not sustainable.
The more I dive into JMU’s financials, the stinkier the situation gets. Twitter has exposed JMU’s student athletic fees and rightfully so…but it goes deeper than that.
Give JMU props though…they did what Tulane and UL failed to do…..strike while the iron is hot.
AAC, SBC need to merge and form pods…and drop dead weight - I am looking at you Charolette and ULM.

What a complete waste of $25 million.
At the end of the day, the remaining CUSA, AAC, SBC, MAC, PAC13 and MWC teams will be in the same bucket.
The only team I see getting the call up is maybe Tulane.

I don’t play on member guest events anymore - or scrambles - just too much cheating.

UL - LLLLLLLLL
Tech can talk all the shite they want - ULL tries to be something they are not and can’t back it up.
The game last night reaffirmed my thoughts - you need LSU then in the UL system you need ULL and Tech - everyone else goes to JC and trade school.

ULL and Tech need to make sure this game is played when LSU has an away game - playing every year may be exciting

I have seen it all in my many many decades of football watching now - I can’t get my head around this game.
