I believe that Albert Belle had the best pro careeer. Todd Walker was also a solid player.

Certainly Alvin Dark and DJ are up there, along with Bregman.

It’s sad that Miracle Mike Miley’s career was cut short or we could be mentioning him as one of the top players from LSU.

Beth’s team has made the postseason before.

At this time, they still have a decent chance to do that.

That’s a good idea. Hope Nuss and receivers can get something worthwhile accomplished this summer.

As far as the Ol goes, do we really know yet if coaches have seen enough of Moore and Thompson practicing with the other returning players to accurately access their potential to contribute next fall? Isn’t this type of thing that the fall workouts will help determine?

It was previously posted that the staff wants the transfers expected to start to earn those jobs.

Perhaps this should be on the Rant board, but I have noticed for some time how so many opening posts receive a pretty good majority of negative votes.

Yet many of those threads get a lot of feedback. I understand that many don’t get agree with the views expressed in the OP, but I for one, am often glad to see someone introduce the new topic.

None of us are mind readers, so many (if not most) times, we don’t know why an opening post was downvoted.

Many very good college players (some who even make it in the NBA) have made crucial mistakes that cost their teams in the NCAA tournament--remember Chris Weber of Michigan and who was that player in a game involving Georgetown who threw a casual backwards pass to an opponent, thinking he was a teammate?

The play of #21 of Houston was good throughout the NCAA tournament, with that exception. Sadly to many fans, that's the only play by him they will remember.

While I acknowledge basketball officiating is a very tough job, I do agree that for a national championship game, it was very poorly called, probably one of the worst officiated games ever for an NCAA title game. Only four fouls on both teams combined in the first hall were called. So the refs certainly swallowed their whistles a lot in that half. They then went crazy in the second half, calling a lot of touch fouls that in the first half, would have been ignored.

For years, I have understood that coaches especially want officials to BE CONSISTENT--meaning, call it both ways on both ends of the court.

In the end, the call that was the worst by far and that officials at that level should not miss, was the obvious goal tending by Florida late in the first half. Houston should have had a 5 point halftime lead, not 3. And those two extra points would have crucial. Can Florida recover from a 14-point deficit in the second half? Perhaps, but we'll never know. Their winning margin was 2 points and that missed goal tend cost Houston two points they deserved.

Didn't scan through every page in this thread, but do you remember five or six years ago (I think) when the term "Germans" was often used by several TD posters. That's not the case anymore.

And at times in football season, a phrase that Nick Saban perhaps was the first to use was posted every so often, "Hit them (him) in the mouth."

Since he's no longer at LSU (unfortunate), but the nickname given to former head coach Will Wade of "Pear" might have been unwelcome in the eyes of some. A friend of mine who lives in the DFW area did not appreciate that term and in his view, it was an insult to Wade. I did not share his view on that, but perhaps a few others did.

I'm glad those overhyped preppy kids from the East Coast lost.

They need another national title like a hole in the head.

Go Houston!

This reminds me of the year so many experts called Duke one of the best ever, but the underdog Connecticut beat them in the championship game.

Houston wore them down.

I think it’s a pretty good rivalry already and could get more intense with the passing years.

And not just in football—it’s already a good rivalry in gymnastics.
