re: I’m confused about a few things but one stands out that’s not being discussed
Posted by sqt18 on 9/21/26 at 9:57 am to Adam Banks
In my opinion, this was the most glaring decision making problem. I think we had two designed runs total in the first three series.
In that environment, with a QB who has shown early game jitters in both prior games, that was inexcusable. I'm sure the coaching staff would love a mulligan there. Should have tried to settle things down and trying to weather the initial emotional wave. Against one of the better offenses in the country as well.
Ironically, Kiffin/Weis history shows they love to establish the run. It's a staple in the offensive game plan. As shown in the 4th series, even down 0-17 they made running a priority.
First three series got away from them but I'm chalking that up as an anomaly.

Leavitt was also recovering from a fairly significant injury and no one was truly sure he'd be ready.
Don't forget Brock Bowers. He's a full four months older than Bowers.

But what if it fails?
Admittedly, I have no knowledge of any importance. But I don't see how it actually hurts them to try and fail. All conferences and the NCAA have been stripped of all power. Chambliss (redshirt seasons), Pavia (JUCO season), multiple transfer restrictions, NIL, etc. They have nothing to lose.
It they aren't granted absolute authority to expel members, so what? They don't currently have that authority, hence their current lawsuit. Our relationship is a problem right now but that's already the case. And on an administrative level, that will also pass. Some fans won't forget but let's be honest, the SEC doesn't actually care about us.

Frick that.
They had to pick a line somewhere. Why not now? It's the perfect time for them. Kiffin is a villain. The national media was skewing the narrative and were completely against LSU in this matter.
I didn't say it was fair. But it is the perfect time to try.
This isn't about LSU
Posted by sqt18 on 9/8/26 at 9:00 pm
Not really. It's about the conference fighting to keep complete control. The NCAA and conferences across the country have gotten their asses kicked in court on almost every issue.
They are desperately trying to maintain the eroding authoritarian regime they've had for decades. In the past, conference voice was undisputable law. They do not like the changed landscape. If they can get government protection to vote out members at will, they will use it to lord over schools if any issue gets big enough
When I say it isn't about LSU, that doesn't mean they won't sacrifice LSU just to prove they can. LSU has broken zero conference bylaws. It's the perfect case to prove their authority.

re: Balls being tipped and batted down
Posted by sqt18 on 9/6/26 at 6:15 pm to tigerwith3
When there is a lack of pressure, there are more batted balls at the line. They go hand in hand. All DL are taught to get their hands up if they're stymied on their rush.
I choose to look at it as a positive on the one game sample size.

SEC Defense Strategy
Posted by sqt18 on 9/3/26 at 10:42 pm
So is the SEC just trying to lull everyone into a false sense of security with this piss poor defense today? Are they actually this inept? Sankey can't actually think it's a good idea to say he doesn't know what defines a pro and to admit he's ignorant on NCAA regulations?
Letting us get overconfident and play these guys only to present a valid defense in the federal case.

re: Would a JD5 apology to LSU fix this?
Posted by sqt18 on 8/18/26 at 12:29 pm to GoShoughYourself
No. Not due to spite or anything like that. At this point, the only reason he would apologize is because he's being roasted nationally and is quite literally a punchline.
An apology now would be disingenuous and strictly self serving. It would be a PR stunt to salvage public opinion and his "legacy". In my opinion, he's already shown his true self.

The best part of the Stub Hub dig is they are actually using the Commanders game as the example.
I looked up Curiel before originally posting. I thought it was him prior but it looks like Logan was slightly higher. Splitting hairs between the three.
And yes, very subjective depending on the source. Either way, I'm happy to get another top ten prospect.
I'm willing to give the teenager the benefit of the doubt of a few days to make a final decision. It' s also possible the the delay was on our side trying to account for NIL money. I'm assuming we were not prepared for this development.

Who is? Genuine question. I know you just default to be being condensing and assume everyone else is being a dick as well.
If Schmidt isn't, he has to be very high on that list, right?
re: Logan Schmidt isn’t signing with the Cleveland Guardians. But will he join the Tigers?
Posted by sqt18 on 8/1/26 at 7:10 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Anyone who isn't excited about this is insane or just being hardheaded. Isn't Schmidt is the highest rated HS prospect to ever make to LSU campus? Especially considering he's a three year player.
Yes, it might now work out. There's no way to guarantee the future. Obviously he could just transfer out next year. But still. A consensus overall top ten national recruit coming isn't a bad thing.
All hyperbole aside, is he the highest rated player we've ever landed?

I don’t know why anyone would have a problem with this.
The hypocrisy is my only issue with it. The same university was texting a dude who was literally in class on another campus telling him to break his agreement.
And poor optics. They look petty simply because it's LSU players. I agree wholeheartedly that the "kids" should be held accountable to their obligations. This just seems like the wrong 1st fight to pick.
That's not really the way it works. Teams have signing discussions before drafting a player and have an agreement in place. Curiel was rated below the 5th prospect just about everywhere.
He can either demand full slot and get drafted outside the top ten (which pays 6Mish). Or he can agree to below slot value and go number 5 (and get paid 6Mish). He didn't cave.
Yes, the Pirates are a cheap organization but this is not an example of it. They overpaid the next four picks by a combined 2.2M. Almost identical to the savings on Curiel. It's a pretty common strategy in the draft every year.

Hopefully their team reporting is accurate.
"The Nats picked up three consecutive high school hitters from picks 15 to 17, and while Murphy and Galason are unlikely to sign unless something goes wrong in the signing process with Williams or Harris"

re: MLB Draft Thread
Posted by sqt18 on 7/12/26 at 2:00 pm to Leon the pro
From my understanding, there is no cap at this point. It is all based on how much the teams can save elsewhere. Technically speaking a number of teams could theoretically meet it.
There will also be some dart throw picks on highly rated, undrafted guys. Think Cameron Johnson in 2023. He was drafted in the 20th round with essentially no chance of signing. Seemed like a back up plan in case one of the Cards top picks didn't sign.

only 7 hs players taken in rounds 7,8,9,10 combined seems insane
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. After round 10, the round a HS is drafted doesn't really matter. It's only about what kind of war chest the team has been able to save.
We could lose a commit in any round going forward if the team saved enough elsewhere.
Don't start counting the roster spots yet.
