My prediction is that LSU will give MM one more season and then fire him with a smaller payout.


McMahon won’t make it past this season. He’s very fortunate to have gotten the fourth season and the only thing that saved him was going into ADs office and saying give me more NIL money. They agreed to that and said this is your last chance. Same results for him with the most talented roster he has had here.

The wheels are in motion to have his replacement ready to go. I would say after the Miss State loss it ramped up because you had a glimmer of hope to dig out of the basement.

McMahon hasn’t really ever had a different demeanor on the sideline but to me he looks like he knows this is over. He’ll take a year off, get hired in an appropriate level position as a head coach and be pretty successful. He’s just not a fit in the SEC.
We are the bottom feeder in this game and conference right now. Just atrocious what we are looking at here

This is the best team he’s had at LSU & his best player is healthy again


I agree it’s the best team in terms of talent. This should be a 10-11 win conference team…sucks that Thomas went out when we had a great chance to start conference strong but it is what it is.

Would absolutely kill to finish anywhere near 8 conference wins with this team, realistically though I gotta believe 5-6 wins is the ceiling.

We probably lose tonight but McMahon actually has an 3-3 record against Arkansas so maybe there’s a chance…and we should have a great chance in the next two. But then you have a five game stretch that we may win 1 game out of those.

We know it is tournament or bust, if we get to say 4-9 before the Bama game can we legitimately expect to go 5-0 or 4-1 in the stretch. We haven’t seen it before with McMahon, does he have it?

How people still say Matt McMahon is not a bad coach is hilarious. He has lost 75% of his conference games. And the crazy thing is our talent this year is pretty solid, but still three of the conference losses are by double digits. I saw enough after year 1 to know McMahon was probably not going to last long here. Really don’t think anything less than a run to the sweet sixteen will keep him here past this year.

He’s unequivocally the worst LSU coach, in any sport, in at least 30 years (maybe more) and we STILL have people trying to excuse that away.


A-freaking-men.

The number of double digit loses in conference over the last four years is staggering. That literally screams out of your league. McMahon’s biggest conference win was 21 points against Arkansas. He may have had one or two other double digit wis. The other 11-12 wins have all been really close.

I think the administration wants to let him finish this year out so we don’t have to fire two coaches mid season, but we are looking at starting conference 0-8 until we play USCe again at the end of the month. If the losses are bad enough especially at home they may have no choice.
It was deleted because it was inaccurate. There is a lot of misdirection going on, which is a good thing in my opinion. Get people chasing their tails while they go conduct business and get a new coach.
Was im the anti McMahon boat after his third or fourth SEC game of his first year. And he’s had no answers for league ever since. I hope he can figure it out cause I love the pmac when it is rocking.
Are we about to see a consolidation into just 3-4 broadcast groups nationally? Looking gray stock sitting under $6 a share, got a lot of debt too and forecast this year looks pretty down. Could they be a buyout target next?
I got a 26kW air cooled Generac put in last year right before hurricane season. Haven’t had to run it for an extended period yet, actually didn’t lose power during last hurricane in BR. I do know Generac is coming out with a new air cooled model later this year or early 26. It won’t run the electric heat on the hvac so keep that in mind. I was all in around $13k
So you're okay paying more NIL money to the same group of guys that just went 3-15 in conference? The AD has put it out there through his cronies that more money was on the way, are we really to believe that the same group of dudes with more money in their pocket and 2-3 new guys are going to perform better under this coaching staff? It's really difficult to see that happening.
It’s such a BS narrative, South Carolina made the tourney last year and lost to Oregon in the first round. Their AD just said F it, you don’t need anymore money?

Odds are a different coach with the current LSU roster would very likely have more than 3 conference wins. And now you got players quiet quitting to prepare for the portal season. If we’re giving McMahon more NIL money then we’re in year 0 once again because he has to go out and get a whole new roster. You can’t run it back with the guys on the current team.
I’ve been doing live sports broadcasts for over 20 years on CBS, SEC network, ESPN, Fox Sports and NBC. Mostly running cameras but have directed a bit, no other way to say it but it was another sh!t sandwich by D1. I’ve watched better broadcasts by high school production teams with a three man crew.

The failure on the streaming side is one thing but have a quality production crew that knows what they are doing first and foremost. Run a damn nat sound microphone right outside the announcer booth, you’ve certainly have to have available inputs up there to use.
Very surprised WBRZ refused to let her on since she had no affiliation with them. I get WAFB since she got herself fired from there. Sounds like she is just toxic.
I just redid just about all of my water lines from 1/2” galvanized steel to 3/4” pex. The amount of rust flakes in the faucets was insane. Cleaned all of them out and took water restrictors off and my water pressure improved drastically. Also added a pressure gauge on the line and I’ve got a steady 60 psi everywhere. Only thing I didn’t change out so far is the upstairs copper and that will come with the bathroom renos. I would definitely check for any obstructions in the lines.
I really don’t get the commitment to more NIL at this point. Does that mean McMahon is going to fill out a whole new roster next year? we’ve already got the high school guys signed. You’re either going to be paying more for guys that are about to go 4-14 at best in conference or you have to completely overhaul the roster, or possibly overpay for guys who make you marginally better. I’ve listen to McMahon talk about how he wants to build this program and this AD is basically painting him into a corner he doesn’t want to be in. They’ve got a lot of balls to put out this narrative right now.

I did my master shower years ago with a product called KBRS, similar to Tile Redi but I think was a little cheaper option. Concrete board on the walls, tape and thin set on all the seams and corners, then a bunch of red guard layers.

re: Whole home water filter

Posted by HangingWithMrCooper on 12/11/24 at 6:40 pm to
Just bought a isprimg three filter system this week. I’m replumbing my whole house to pex from galvanized pipes so I thought this was a good time to go ahead and add the filtration system. House is raised so easy access to replace all the pipes. I will be doing a bypass loop and also all of my outside house bibs will not be connected to filter system, have them running on a separate main line.

The ispring was on sale for under $500, all my other parts and components for the repipe are under a thousand bucks. Had a plumber quote me $7000 to repipe the house a year ago. I need to get into being a handyman for those prices. I am going to get him to repipe my gas lines though.
Guess I should have said complaints, plenty of them on places like Reddit. And they have some solutions…Wish I would have read them before I bought my Samsung. Luckily I was in my return window and got that POS out of my kitchen.

What I found to be the issue with mine was the damper in the freezer that pushed cold air into the fridge. The fan attached to the damper stopped working periodically too. My guess it was a circuit board issue, and I had zero airflow on any vents on the refrigerator side.

The temperature panel on the inside of the fridge showed that it was cooling properly on both sides but that was BS. Ice maker didn’t work properly either.
Samsung are absolute crap refrigerators.i bought one about two months ago, worked one day and fridge side all of a sudden wouldnt cool below 50. Returned it as fast as I could.

Go read the reviews on them, notorious for doing this.
