re: Elevate launching PE-backed college initiative

If it's just a fund similar to an infrastructure fund, they could fund capital projects like stadiums and the economics could just be sharing in the income generated by the stadium. They could also charge a fee for managing the operations, which fans are always bitching and moaning about, for example, concessions etc.

I actually think this is a cool thing. It’s PE funding whole departments, NIL efforts etc. that worries folks.

Oz really makes me ponder how many people similar to him are out there with his capacity to read people and manipulate behavior, and how many work for the government and other institutions that pull puppet strings on us on a daily basis.

re: Prediction time -- Game 1: LSU 7, WVU 3 -- Game 2: LSU 6, WVU 4 -- CWS bound

Posted by LSUminati on 6/3/25 at 3:32 pm

Low scoring, WVU doesn't walk a lot of people which is what LSU relies on to get big run totals. Pitching somewhat similar with more depth for LSU. Offenses similar except LSU has a lot more power. Their gloves might be susceptible to boot it around a bit so hopefully the crowd plays a factor there.

Expecting scores in the 5-4/4-3 range and a 3 game series. No prediction other than that because it's baseball, and baseball will baseball because that's what baseball does, and that's what makes it baseball.

Cooper Williams still needs to show a little more, but he’s bordering on emerging as a dependable multi-inning reliever. He single-handedly kept us in the Sunday game and he looked good in his previous outing, as well.

I hear you on Cooper Williams, but two weeks ago people were saying the same about Shores and before that, Rizy. My point is, there isn't a sure thing right now, so in high leverage situations I would go with the guy who was a sure thing at one point in the season.

re: Cowan moving forward

Posted by LSUminati on 6/3/25 at 2:59 pm

You have to continue to give him the ball. He’s the only reliever that has proven able to string together consistent innings. Right now it seems 50/50 with him but it’s no worse than other relievers and none of them have shown at any point the consistency he gave you the first 2/3 of the year. So you just hope he works through it, no other choice.

It’s good enough that it’s a legitimate reason for a person to hesitate moving from Texas.

re: College World Series old format question

Posted by LSUminati on 5/28/25 at 12:57 pm

Devil's advocate to that is that a team that makes it to the championship unscathed should have an advantage.

I think I mostly agree with you though. If you make it out your "regional" you've earned it, now play a legitimate best 2/3.

Depends on what the OP is looking for. Milton's or a Eunice could be a good spot.

Slightly more casual but a crowd pleaser, Hudson House just opened in Rice Village. Could get some cold martinis and food there, head to Sixty Vines for some vino night cap etc. :dude:

Solution:

If you and your group are able to sit together in non tipped seats, proceed in doing so.

If your group is unable to sit together because of tipped seats, proceed to sitting in tipped seats that people have not sat down in. They are not entitled to a seat they have not shown up for.

re: Case for a National Seed: Auburn vs LSU

Posted by LSUminati on 5/19/25 at 3:08 pm

The "Auburn swept " narrative is a football mentality applied to a baseball discussion. Baseball has been and always will be about an aggregation of marginal statistics. Overall record is much more important than a home sweep where every game was razor thin. LSU looked way more dominant against Arkansas than Auburn LSU and no LSU proponent is arguing LSU should be higher than Arkansas.
