I went to a handful of games in 2022 and 2023 and just didn't see it. 2024 UCLA is when I said "woah"

I went to the Bama game that year and didn’t notice anything, but I do a good bit of day drinking. I would go to maybe 5 games a year the first decade or so after I graduated. Now, I’m lucky to make 1, so I don’t notice as much of the trends.

All that said…are people going to start watching at home with this being a major reason?

We won’t wear something that says “Louisiana State” on it. I can promise you that

---

You’re right, but I think it’s lame. Funny how that branding doesn’t carry over as strongly to baseball.

Louisiana State University is a fine name.

Are you joking they ran the power I, they would get destroyed by Chase and Jefferson!

Pretty dumb to compare teams across eras anyway.

A lot more weird virtue signaling religious nuts on here that I thought

---

Non-religious people getting bent out of shape by true believers is strange. I choose to believe, but if someone else refuses, I’m not going to get upset. You do you. It’s not difficult to find the word.

Went to their Mardi Gras one year and found out. It was so disappointing. Every bar was full of underaged girls begging you to buy them drinks. Most were high school kids. Kept wondering where these kids parents were, and why their kids were out at 1 am.

---

Yeah man, NO Mardi Gras never has issues…

Have spent their entire show so far talking about this Jayden Daniels thing. They drift off but keep coming back to it. So far not a single mention of Skip Bertman. Says a lot about ESPN / SEC Media

---

Ratings drive all. More people will watch JD drama. I love college baseball and Skip, but in 2026, Daniels is a household name and Skip is not.

Also, hoping ESPN heaps praise upon Skip is weird validation to seek.

I try not to get too riled up. I am capable of realizing that Daniels is being an idiot right now while also acknowledging how fun he was to watch in P&G, and that he repped us positively. Honestly, I don’t see the reason to hate him now. He’s damaging himself, and no sane person agrees with his camp’s stance. Dude is gonna learn a tough lesson, and would be wise to try to repair the bridge ASAP.

I always loved Belle, but I like Cleveland, so…

I also don’t get the Simmons hate. At the end of the day, he was overrated and in it for himself, as is the case for many athletes. It’s not like he has negatively impacted LSU hoops.

They didn’t make a decision on what a woman is at their meeting because they are going to have to gather all their lawyers and Frankenstein that shite into words in a way that can exclude Kantner and White, but still include males like those in your OP. It will require manipulative language, but the woke will swallow it whole and try to scream down anyone who objects.

---

I agree. In this era of inclusion, they will try to exclude anyone that doesn’t fit their idea of a trans. They just have to find a way to define the whole thing. I’m not sure they can without opening up to a lawsuit.

The AL East (minus TB) should get an ASG soon, it's been a while since anyone has had it in that division. Rogers Centre-1991 Camden Yards-1993 Fenway-1999 Yankee Stadium (old)-2008

---

Good point. I feel like it was an unwritten rule that there was a giant rotation except for a place like the Trop, and it was only altered with new stadiums or the Indians ditching Wahoo.

There’s a finite amount of numbers. Honor the player, retire the jersey in the stadium, eventually build the statue of Heisman winners.

But you can’t take numbers out of circulation from a logistical standpoint.

I like to travel and frick as much as possible, and I try to keep my body in shape to support both for a long time. My goal is to reach 50 states, 100 countries, and 7 continents.

---

This has inspired me before. Traveling can get my excitement level up. I combine with sports and am trying to get to all 30 MLB parks. I’m well over 30, but that includes old ones that have been demolished. I have this wall in my home with canvas pictures I have taken from behind the plate at every stadium. And yet there are times I’ll look at it and wonder what the hell it is all for :lol:
