re: Jada Williams commits to LSU
Posted by Metaloctopus on 4/13/26 at 2:03 am to Lester Earl
They could have gone with Liv McGill , who has very similar career shooting percentages, less assists per game, and WAY more turnovers. Williams has an elite assist to turnover ratio. This team needed that. There will be enough shooters. Just need a true big who can impact both ends of the court consistently. The only "big" currently on the roster who isn't undersized is Koval, and I'm not sure she'll ever develop into someone who can dominate.
Without that piece, I see another high-scoring season ending around the same time it has for the last 3 seasons, where we continue throughout the year to struggle against teams with dominant bigs who block everything we put up at the rim.

re: Alex Jones threatening scorched earth on Trump

Trump is not governing as he campaigned. It’s as simple as that.
Trump has attempted to govern in every way he campaigned. The difference between you and I, is that I'm not naive to believe that one man can just cure decades of corruption. I'm not naive enough to believe that he is such a genius, that he can't be fooled by people who he thinks have his, and our best interests at heart, but who have continually mislead and outright betrayed him and us.
Another difference between you and I is that we seem to have different memories of what Trump has promised. When you say we've wasted out time with Iran, you forget that Trump, not only since his first campaign, but for his entire professional life has said that we needed to deal with Iran, and that they could not have nuclear weapons. He is keeping that promise. Some of you are so against war, that it wouldn't matter what the reason is, you'd just be anti war no matter what, and so you're angry with him.
You say he's done nothing about the swamp, and yet he's the only one who ever has done anything about it. you just grossly underestimate, and perhaps he did as well, how comprehensive that swamp really is.
quote:
I understand defending the president and probably agree with him on 80% of his policy, but you’re refusing to acknowledge the fact that none of the people who you’re calling insane changed their policies as far as being anti interventionist, pro prosecuting the swamp, demanding mass deportations and an end to giving jobs to foreign workers on behalf of big business.
You continue to beat a strawman, every time I see your name pop up. This isn't about my lack of acknowledgement on anything. I don't care about what positions any of them still hold to. Alex always was out of his mind, and Candace invents a new conspiracy theory every week. All of these people, including Tucker and Megyn, are so anti-Israel that they have shifted towards a pro-Islamist position, just to take the other side of anything that Israel does. They don't attack Trump because of H1B's, they attack him on everything. There is no attempt at constructive criticism, but instead vile attacks that do nothing but divide.
The fact that you don't have enough discernment to see the devil's hand at work with these people is very telling.

Well Trump is not a Christian. He has made sort of soft claims to Christianity, but it's clear he doesn't really know what he believes. With that in mind, I'm not sure how it should surprise any of us that he's fed up with all the crap people say about him on BOTH sides. Eventually, when you aren't grounded in the peace of The Lord, you're going to lash out. it's human nature.
What I really don't understand is why people are more concerned with his reactions than they are with what he is reacting to. People who used to claim to be on his side have gone insane, and that's what he's reacting to.

Your post became obvious BS right here. It’s the gaslighting that’s going to piss everyone off.
No, it's Tucker's BS that ticks ME off, and should make everyone angry. He never was for Trump, and those leaked text messages of him proclaiming his hatred of Trump and how glad he was that he wasn't re-elected (in the previous election, of course) prove that he was never for him. He, like the others, just grifted along, saying what they needed to say to keep an audience. As soon as Tucker lost his Job at FOX, he's been against virtually everything Trump does, even getting mad at mean tweets, just like liberals.
I'm not the one gaslighting anyone. Tucker is gaslighting his entire audience with anti- American, pro-Islamist bull crap. Have you heard anything the man has said recently?

Attacking the people who supported him the most because they’re holding him accountable for betraying his campaign promises.
Supported him the most? Tucker never supported Trump, and even was caught saying how much he couldn't stand him, years ago. Candace hates everything he does now, because she hates Jews more than anything else in the world, and since Trump stand by Israel, she hates him and criticizes everything he does. How is that supporting him? She was never a conservative. She was a fraud who used the "MAGA" movement for fame, just like so many others have. Megyn Kelly has never been a Trump supporter and has only pretended to tolerate him to keep an audience. Alex Jones is out of his mind, and no one should care whose side he pretends to be on.
None of these people are "holding him accountable". He didn't break any promises to them. The problem with them, and you, is that none of you understand foreign affairs and how they affect us. Therefore, you translate "America first" as "America only". Trump has always said Iran could not be allowed to have nuclear weapons. They messed around and found out what happens.
People who don't understand these things should move out of the country and find out what it's like to face adversity. Reality might start to sink in on how precious our freedoms are, and learn to appreciate what it takes to stay free.

That's the point. She didn't dominate any other big girls. Go look at the schedule. Only 2 games matter, UCLA who plays a slow pace but had 6-7 Betts, she had 15 and 4 and they lost by 36, Betts had 25 and 7. Against South Carolina, (SEC size and speed) she had 9 and 9 and they lost by 40 and Okot didn't even play, Edwards had 29.
If with LSU she would be constantly behind the play and would slow down LSU's entire offense, especially with someone like Fulwiley starting next year. She would consistently get beat on the defensive end in the open floor by teams that have bigs that run ...ie ALL THE GOOD ONES.
She also is a Junior so she only has 1 year left. You don't take that over more athletic kids that will be Sophomores and Juniors next year
How is that the point? You originally said Penn State only had two players who did anything, and now you're saying she didn't "dominate" big girls. Those are two entirely different statements. And who is going to dominate those teams you're talking about? We just need someone to be productive in the post. Maybe if other teams had to focus on more than two players, she would do better.
And why does it matter that she's a junior? Who are the younger players who you think LSU can get? By all means, if LSU can get someone better AND younger, that's great. But that's not what this thread is about. This is about discussing this option.

ou have to understand just how bad Penn State was to understand why this is a bad idea. Her stats look good but are just the result of her and Kyomi Miller being the only people who could consistently do ANYTHING. Dont be fooled.
She shot 72% from the field, and has shot 70% for her entire 3 years of college. So if you're insinuating that two players take all the shots on that team, with that shooting percentage, she should have averaged 30 points per game. So, I do not agree with you. Someone who makes that kind of percentage, and who has the size to get the ball over the heads of some of these big girls who've dominated our post players, is someone I'd take any day.

She doesn’t fit a team that likes to run up and down the court.
If this girl doesn't fit the system, then I don't know why they recruited Del Rosario. What this team severely lacks, and consistently gets beat by, is big girls who can produce. We either have small "bigs" who are good players, but can't get anything going against bigger players, or we have players like Koval and the aforementioned Del Rosario who who just aren't skilled enough to be counted on. Koval is certainly far better than ADR, but not someone who could take over a game if we needed her to. Not so far, anyway.
So I think you have to get bigger, and not worry so much about the pace. You can go small and play fast if the game dictates it, but that style isn't getting LSU past other elite programs who keep beating us when it matters.
re: Matt Gaetz: Secret program exists for aliens to breed with humans to make a hybrid race
Posted by Metaloctopus on 4/1/26 at 11:55 pm to AlterEd
How is it that you either can't, or refuse to grasp the difference between an image "in people's minds" and something that can actually be seen?
You have to be the most obtuse poster I've seen on here. You're arguing about images in the mind and memories, which is like dreams and visions. I'm talking about something that anyone could see with their eyes, but is not what it seems. This is not only something tied to "UFO's", but also "ghosts". Demons appear as familiar spirits. Again, it's about deception.
But if you don't believe the Bible, then you're going to believe all of the science fiction out there, and there's nothing I can do about that.

Belief in aliens is pure foolishness. That's not arrogance. It's a matter of fact. There is nothing to support the existence of aliens, and it's pure delusion, to use your word, to believe that "they" would be visiting us. It's science fiction to believe that some species from billions of miles away could get here, and with no clear purpose in mind.
quote:
And yes, a being who is able to implant false images and memories into people's minds would be practicing magic. I mean, there is an entire subset of magic devoted to it. They call it glamour magic.
Once again, you are making up this "implanting false images and memories" into peoples minds. I said no such thing. This isn't a thing happening in someone's mind, I'm talking about demons appearing as something other than what they are. It's called deception. That isn't magic. These are non physical beings. "Magic" is a make believe trick performed by humans.

But hey, speaking of "bigfoot" and bringing it into the context of this thread, it could be that bigfoot is an epigenetic memory of a real being. The early generations of human and neanderthal crossbreeding. If heterosis happened for first generation crossbreeds, you could have seen hairy, powerful, and "giant" offspring. Eventually through the generations though these traits will have subsided as the males were likely less fertile than the females.
No wonder your logic is confused. You believe in the false religion of evolution. I don't know why people who don't recognize basic physics and biology think they are equipped to argue with anyone.
I'll leave you to your conspiracy theories.

You say you like to use common sense, yet you're claiming that magical beings are putting false images and memories into people's minds.
If you want to use common sense, start actually doing it.
You are both arrogant and ignorant. Arrogant, because of your attitude, and ignorant for a number of reasons. First, you say "magical beings", when there is nothing magical about demons. They aren't cartoon wizards, they're evil beings with supernatural abilities that, while nowhere near reaching the level of God, they can cause great harm through deception. Second, you made that "magical" comment after you, yourself, said that angels "could" but wouldn't. So do you believe in angels but not demons?
And no one said anything about false memories in people's minds. I said false images. Meaning whatever people think they see in the sky could absolutely be demons, because deception is what they do. Causing fear, suspicion, distrust. It's exactly what they would do. But people who claim to be abducted, are either lying, or they were given some kind of wild drug that gave them some crazy hallucinations. I don't believe for a second in their alien abduction stories.

They don't have to be responsible for abducting anyone. No one has been abducted. It's like believing in big foot.
Gaetz is taking the Candace route of just making things up for internet clout. He's not a serious person.
Demons absolutely could create false images that people could confuse as "UFO'S", but I don't know how many of these supposed sightings are even real. Because what I do know is that faking things has never been easier.
Also, I like to use common sense on these matters. I ask myself: "If this is so top secret, how is Gaetz allowed to talk about it without someone taking him out?". We're constantly being told that everything is a lie, and we're all basically in the Truman Show, yet somehow all of these people are in on these "secrets", leaking them, and nothing is happening to them.
Clearly, the government doesn't take them seriously any more than I do.

Antonio Gates played football and basketball in high school, but not in college. He was a heck of a college basketball player, and a hall of fame tight end. Makes you wonder if he could have done both in college, or if the colliding schedules would have made it too difficult. Shame we'll never know.

Thought experiment: if a jet filled with pregnant Chinese communists is enroute to vacation in Canada encounters mechanical problems and is forced to land in Anchorage where all the pregnant women promptly give birth, are those newborns American citizens as of their birthday?
It's a valid thought experiment. Because that is basically where we're at, but being told it's somehow not that. We have people who live here, but not legally, which is no better than just passing through.
