re: Lost a 4 run lead when they had to win. They do not deserve to win.
Posted by Blanding on 5/10/24 at 9:53 pm
Cuck Noll has a famous quote that goes something like: "Campions aren't campions because of extraordinary plays. They are champions because they do the ordinary better than anyone else."
All season, this team has failed to execute the ordinary....
re: Listen up Folks.. LSU baseball team will be fine
Posted by Blanding on 4/7/24 at 2:46 pm
Not trying to be argumentative. You are absolutely correct you recruit based upon potential and that potential has been reinforced by results demonstrated in competition or at camps. Once that person puts on the uniform, they earn the right to play by results in practice and game performance. We're ...
re: Listen up Folks.. LSU baseball team will be fine

I've been coaching or preparing coaches through univetsities for 59 years. A while back a stellar west Tennessee coach told one of my classes, "if you build your team on potential you will soon be unemployed. You build your team on results!" This baseball team is high on potential and so far, very ...
re: ESPN+ and SEC + Disaster i
Posted by Blanding on 2/17/24 at 4:26 pm
I watched the game with no problem on my phone. As several have suggested, I have successfully used the app through a smart tv for years with regular issues.
Maybe it's the interface with the smart tv and/or direct tv, to me thats irrelevant. We watch mlbaseball by clicking on the game from the ma...

ESPN+ and SEC + Disaster i
Posted by Blanding on 2/17/24 at 2:56 pm
I'm old but have reasonable technology skills. Like many of you have posted, the stability and functionality of ESPN+ and SEC + is archaic. Customer service is non-existent. About every 10 days, we get a message while trying to log in to SEC + that we have to authenticate. It usually takes a couple...
re: 85 or 125 as roster limit?
Posted by Blanding on 1/13/24 at 6:03 pm
Long time avid lurker, seldom ever post. The topic in this forum hits on some of the problems with NIL and the SC Justice Rehnquist ruling that made NIL possible. He all but forbid the NCAA from setting standards. Therefore, different states have passed laws making something in one state legal and t...
Question about Coach Bertman's Coaching Philosophy
Posted by Blanding on 11/23/22 at 8:52 am
I’m hoping one of you can help an old grey bread remember something very important about Coach Bertman’s coaching philosophy. When he first came to LSU he was trying to sell his newly acquired program. I was new to higher education and was at Delta State teaching with another legendary Baseball Co...

Devastating Fire
Posted by Blanding on 2/25/22 at 6:27 pm
Long time lurker seldom poster. I have a question. We recently had a fire that destroyed our house and most of the belonging. Everyone and the pets are safe, thanks to fire alarms and smoke detectors. We are fully insured.
Now for property claims. The investigator hasn’t shown up so there i...
re: How many fans of the Rant are 60 or over?
Posted by Blanding on 11/17/19 at 6:22 pm
68. First game was south endzone when LSU beat Tulane 62 - 0 behind Jerry Stovall in 1961. Many memories in the old upper south endzone over hanging the visitor section. Many trips down from Shreveport between 60iest through 80ies. The 9 and 1 team was damn good and Bert could sling it. ...
re: Where to watch and do some drankin in Olla?
Posted by Blanding on 10/25/19 at 10:42 pm
My first job out of college was at Olla Standard, then LaSalle HS, then Jena. My wife and I lived out toward Rosefield. I'm reading names on this forum I have thought of since the 70ies. If someone would just mention the salt flat or Bayou Dan, I believe my nostalgia would be complete. ...
re: Bob Marshall Wilderness or Black Hills/Badlands NP...where should I backpack?

The range you are asking about is the Little Snowies. Lots of National Forest, a school board section, BLM land entangled with landowners. Did not spend much time in the Snowies but did take a bull in the southwest area. The drive from Billings up to Grass Range is food for the soul. Lo...

You’ve received lots of recommendations I’ll add my two cents. I lived in Billings for eight years and as someone mentioned, you can’t go wrong in the Mountain West. There are so many options, for me there are two deciding factors:
1. GRIZ – I have an irrational fear of being part of th...
More Questions about Lake Maps

Lake Maps
Guys, I need your help. Over the last several months I’ve been purchasing “stuff” to set my boat up for spider rigging. Have purchased the Helix 7G3NSI; the Terrova Ipilot Link.
I’m overwhelmed by maps. LakeMaster V offers four levels: LakeMaster; LakeMaster Plus; Smart Strike and C...

Good Afternoon Guys
Thank you for your suggestions. I went to Atwoods and just kind of wandered around looking at different tools and thought about what the two of you suggested. One idea from Atwood's was a 12 inch metal blade for my reciprocating saw. I watched videos on UTube, etc. The realit...
Plumbing help for a dumb a$$

Guys
I've been renovating and changing out things since I bought the house 10 years ago. Haven't found many things I couldn't do. I think I might have screwed the pooch on this one - unless one of you can help.
I'm changing the faucets in a Jack and Jill bath. The fixtures and goose neck coul...

Guys
Thanks for all the great information. I've been looking for those blue tooth jigs and cranks but haven't found them yet - might be the Gen4 version. What I do know - getting into spider rigging is not inexpensive. ...

Thank you Libertytiger
Over the past 12 hours, I've really studied the comparison of Livescope and HP360. Like you, I catch a bunch of white perch with old electronics. I'm leaning toward an entry level $700 unit as opposed to the $2000-$3000 aforementioned units....
