re: Ever notice how great a coach is coming to LSU and how lousy they are leaving?
Posted by tigereye58 on 12/25/25 at 6:52 pm to Sassafrasology
I’m more talking about assistant coaches.
Frank Wilson (x2)
Corey Raymond (x1.5)
Brad Davis
All were coaches the Rant loved and dismissed them at terrible on their way out. Wilson it happened twice. Raymond loved then hated now loved again. Brad Davis was the best O-line coach and now he’s not.

Ever notice how great a coach is coming to LSU and how lousy they are leaving?
Posted by tigereye58 on 12/25/25 at 12:12 pm
Just an observation.
I think it’s just fine for a coach to come and go but the players make the coach. Not saying they’re aren’t bad coaches but can they be great when they come and bad when they leave?
I think Brian Kelly is the only one that was lousy when he came and lousy when he left.
The back up QB and the others teams position coach are the Rant’s favorite at all times. ??

re: If our government capped auto financing at 60 months would car prices come down?
Posted by tigereye58 on 12/22/25 at 4:06 pm to Bayou Warrior 64
I agree 100% with what you said. But the premise of my question is we are all paying more for car than we should and one of the reasons for that is some fools out there are willing to finance it for 84 months. 1/5th of Americans. Their willingness to do so is impacting all of us. So I see this as more of a regulation on big business rather than a limitation on Americans. Take away the 72 and 84 month options and car prices come down. Say and F-150 comes down 10% which is half of the 20% increase since 2020. That’s now 58k instead of 65k. And the financing at 60 months ends up similar. When Biden put in the EV tax incentive Ford increased the Lightening by the exact amount.

According to Edmonds in 2Q 2025 84 month car loans reached an all time high of 21%
70% of car loans are for 60 months or more.
Auto companies are more in the lending trade than the car manufacturing trade. How many cars will last 60+ months.
With warranties running out the game to be in is the extended warranty or auto shop.

Agree here. I think Ford realized they could finance higher priced cars by adding a IPad to the dash and putting leather seats. And BAM charge 30k more and finance it for 72 months.
The alternative to no finance regulation is a bailout of epic proportions on the back of responsible citizens. The bubble coming is the American debt bubble. Our society is built on debt. Overextended house notes and upside down cars, overpriced medical services.

It's not the government's responsibility to keep stupid people from doing stupid things
You can’t possibly be serious. The government prevents people from doing stupid things all day long. Society has to have some regulation to be sustainable. Speed limit signs, basic food quality standards, I get it that the government over reaches all the time too but a civil debate over where our government benefits society is realistic for a political message board. I’m all about keeping the government out of my life but also not naive or stupid enough to think a country with 350 million people is sustainable without some basic oversight.

Similar to home loans offered at 30 years max
Read an article this morning about how car prices went up bc Americans wanted more “features” and showed an appetite to pay more.
I think prices went up for other reasons (Obama and Biden epa then Covid) and some Americans showed an appetite to finance for 72 to 84 months but the result is a generation that is upside down on every car.
I think prices drop dramatically if Trump ends epa standards and caps financing at 60 months. The 90k Tahoe will be 60k again.
Btw I’m not against people paying high prices for luxury cars. But when I was in school and Johnnys dad drove a Porsche that was 90k it was cool bc Johnnys dad had worked hard for cool stuff. Now Susie’s mom drives a 90k Tahoe bc GM will finance it for 84 months.

re: Baseball recruit question- Jordin Griffin
Posted by tigereye58 on 12/18/25 at 2:06 pm to Lester Earl
Man I’m terrible at remembering anything past yesterday but I know there were 2-3 kids that I’m aware of in the top 25-30 in the LA 2025 class that committed to D1 (1 LSU) that got their offer pulled late and went JUCO. And that’s not a knock on them. It’s just a numbers game and for their position the school didn’t have room. The 3 I’m aware of went to Pearl River and LSUE I think.
For 2024-2025 they could still take 40+ kids all the way through spring. Now they can take 40+ for the fall but have to be at 34-36 by early December. There is no more preferred walk on for the spring. It’s a hard 34 with exceptions up to 36.
So all I’m pointing out is that the line for LSU to decide on a kid moved from 42 to 34 so the room for a kid to develop at LSU for a year or 2 just got really narrow. That being said it’s way too early for 2027 kids but just something to watch for.

Agree completely. Some kids like the Juco route to keep draft options open too. Don’t know where his mind leans more towards college or the draft.
And don’t get me wrong…Griffin deserves all of the accolades and will no doubt play high level ball. It’s just a numbers game now at the college level and pitching depth is king.

Griffin is crazy twitchy which I think is what everyone likes. He has tremendous bat speed but I think he’s still maturing as a hitter to hit for average. But he’s young and competing at a high level so his jr sr year is when that should start to show up.
From an LSU perspective I think he’s an interesting case with the new 34 man roster limit. LSU will sign 20-24 HS kids in 2027 but how many of them make it to campus will be closer to 10-12. Some drafted but some told to go to JUCO. The JUCO’s are getting some wildly talented kids out of HS right now. With the 34 man roster limit it’s basically half pitchers plus a few 2 ways guys and a 2 deep at every position w 3-4 catchers. If a freshman can’t project in that 2 deep then they’re likely being told to go to JUCO. Also seems an IF that can flex to OF gets a more favorable look for D1.

re: The .30-06 conspiracy theory is the theory with the most legs.

The shot hit is body armor and deflected up into his neck and brain. Never exited. That’s how a 30-06 doesn’t pass all the way through. It hit a blunt object. These people know this. Everyone knows this. This is all BS to get clicks.
re: What is your golden rule for retirement?
Posted by tigereye58 on 12/10/25 at 6:59 pm to sharkfhin
I think if I were in your shoes I’d do 3 things
Stay humble - find a way to volunteer or teach for free to give something back.
Find ways to give $ to good causes without anyone knowing. Example…go to the funeral home and ask if they have anyone that has been hit with extreme tragedy. Pay for their funeral costs like it’s your own funeral.
Find someone at the hospital and write them a check for their cancer care.
Honestly it sounds like you did something great and got frick you money with it. Buy some nice things but keep yourself busy giving back. There’s nothing like seeing someone truly in need smile. Or better yet not knowing how much you helped them but knowing it helped.

re: Border Patrol arrests 15 at Port of Lake Charles. How are illegals getting into a port?
Posted by tigereye58 on 12/6/25 at 10:16 am to stout
Used to know a guy that worked at the Port for the boarder patrol. He said their biggest issue was people coming in on ships and leaving and never coming back. Some would even jump off the ship and swim and they would apprehend them. This was 10 years ago but I’d imagine all of the foreign ships are still a problem. I was on a flight with 4 guys from Qutar this week. I racked my brain on where in LC these guys were going.

So we sacrifice 2026 season for LK to coach OM Playoffs?
Posted by tigereye58 on 11/29/25 at 8:51 pm
That what everyone seems to be ready to do. He can’t recruit early signing period or transfer portal for US as another teams coach. He’s got to either come or not come. I’m not willing to sacrifice a season for him to coach a month. Playoffs are Dec 19-Jan 19 (championship not likely though so Jan 9th worst case scenario. Leaves 7 days to clear any portal recruiting. Legally he can’t contact recruits for us if he’s coaching them.
re: If Kiffin comes to LSU we should demand he cut ties and not coach OM
Posted by tigereye58 on 11/29/25 at 8:37 pm to TigerAttorney
Exactly. Let him stay and forever regret he didn’t come to LSU. He can forever rebuild his roster with a shortage of funds. Lane train starts now or not at all. You don’t get both.

Posted by tigereye58 on 11/29/25 at 8:35 pm
That’s a non negotiable for me. Either come or don’t. I get it the NCAA timeline sucks. But Kiffin isn’t worth all this crap. I’m ready to move one. He’s my #1 but not if he still wants to coach.

re: It’s possible Kiffin is calling plays for the 2nd half from a cell phone in Oxford
Posted by tigereye58 on 11/29/25 at 5:15 pm to cleetus
I mean at this point it’s as likely as anything I’ve seen on here tonight. If he watched the first half he may have said I’ll take the job if you let me call the plays for the second half and see how it goes. Just as likely that didn’t happen but personally I believe it did. I mean how else could we possibly score?
