re: Have there ever been a movie or TV show that was set in your profession?
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 7/28/26 at 2:35 pm to OWLFAN86
The accuracy question is skewed because generations imitate popular movies. Young traders / Wall Street types in the late 1980s imitated the movie Wall Street, and then Boiler Room, all the way to Billions and beyond, and so the movies and professions feedback loop each other.
Same can be said for physician behavior following decades of those shows and trial lawyer behavior following decades of those shows and movies. Before those shows, doctors and lawyers imitated their mentors. Now they imitate Clooney, Cruise, Denzel, the newbies, etc.

re: Official prediction for each LSU football game and a breakdown (open to any responses)
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 7/24/26 at 8:56 pm to Tigerbait1977
Notwithstanding the $200 million regime change, the reality for 2026 LSU Football is that this team is just as likely to go 9-3 as 7-5. Anything on either side is an outlier and either tremendous or disastrous.
Kelly and Sloan were bad last year but the roster was loaded on paper, just like this one. Someone on this year's schedule will be overrated like Clemson last season and underrated like Ole Miss and Oklahoma last season.
Genius Blake Baker faces at least four (4) incredibly mobile QBs (Chambliss, Reed, Keelon Russell, Byrum Brown), so buckle up for that. And would it really shock anyone if true freshman Faizon Brandon (6'4 Tennessee monster freshman) goes Jalen Milroe on LSU in Knoxville?
Every team in the conference has weaknesses and unknowns. We have a lot, too. Enjoy the ride.

If you want to avoid a chain for great steak plus awesome atmosphere, then go to Town Hearth. Nick & Sam's is also fantastic, as is Al Biernat's. Pappas Bros. has excellent steak but zero atmosphere up I-35 in the middle of nowhere.
Outstanding Tex Mex at Mia's or Mariano's.

It's crazy to say that every team gets an F, but it's justified.
Football: preseason top 10, ranked as high as 4, to a lost season costing hundreds of millions. F.
Basketball: dead last in 16-team conference. Will always be an F absent crippling sanctions that don't exist for the program.
Baseball: pre-season #2, time at #1, to missing the 64-team post season. Absent an Ebola breakout in the clubhouse with multiple fatalities, LSU baseball failing to make the 64-team postseason is always an F.

re: Is this the worst sports year all around in 30 years for LSU?
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 5/15/26 at 5:58 pm to PSS101
Definitely. Add in the fact that Saints are bad, Pelicans are bad, Mavericks are bad (LA born, live in Dallas), Cowboys are bad, Rangers are bad, and Stars choked in the first round of the playoffs, and I'd say this sports season sucks all around.
re: Has This Season Shaken Your Confidence in Jay?
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 5/15/26 at 3:06 pm to AlwysATgr
Before this season, I thought Jay was too elite of a coach to field a terrible baseball team at LSU, given LSU's resources, fan support, and tradition. I was wrong.
re: We just set a school record for most SEC losses in a single season.

LSU and South Carolina are the only schools in the conference with losing conference records in football, men's basketball, and baseball.
LSU and South Carolina are also the only two that failed to make the post-season in any of the three sports.
It's failure at the highest and most expensive level. I am glad that LSU spent the money required to fix football and basketball. But this 2025 - 2026 season shows how much money bad coaching staffs and poor player evaluations can cost.

Bama's terrible coach made the playoff last year and prison raped LSU both times he faced LSU. LSU's current coach is 0-6 vs Alabama. But Bama's current coach is trash. Welcome to the internet.
re: Baseball doesn’t need to win it all every year
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 4/14/26 at 10:07 am to supersaints9
The reality is that LSU men's sports is in a rut. With the recent coaching changes in football and basketball, we can hope that it's a short-term rut. But 2025-2026 looks to be lost seasons for the three LSU programs that most fans care about: football, men's basketball, and baseball. Definitely the worst combined seasons for those three in the "Golden Era" of 2000 - present.

This weekend as a snapshot in time is definitely a low point in my lifetime.
Football 10th place out of 16 teams in the SEC.
Basketball 16th out of 16.
Baseball 13th out of 16.
All obviously unranked and disappointing.

If we truly cannot afford to field a competitive men's basketball team, then we do not belong in the SEC. Everyone else in the conference can do so while still spending tremendous sums on football.
re: You actually care about Basketball?
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 3/8/26 at 10:06 pm to Away Days
The truth is that LSU does not belong in the SEC if LSU cannot financially support a competitive men's basketball program. There is no reason why every single SEC program not named LSU and South Carolina can be competitive in men's basketball.
Like it or not, success in football and men's basketball is all that matters nationally. LSU has not had a top 10 program in either sport in six years.
That is pathetic. The good news about LSU's recent baseball mini-slide is that nobody cares outside Baton Rouge.

I just can't believe that Kiffin left Ole Miss under the most antagonistic circumstances imaginable so that he can discover "hidden gems" in the portal who "fit his system." He was doing exactly that at Ole Miss for the past several years with great success.
LSU's advantage is Louisiana kids (both directly out of high school and portal kids) a higher profile program than Ole Miss to attract out-of-state talent. The latter element will continue to be diminished via NIL.
When properly motivated, Ole Miss' NIL budget will approximate LSU's NIL budget annually. They have never been more motivated.
Given all of this, I would hope Kiffin would lean on his biggest strategic asset, the connection between LSU and Louisiana kids, including Louisiana portal kids.
The big question is whether he will assemble a staff best capable of doing so.

Just wait until Ole Miss wins the whole damn thing in a few weeks. Miami and Indiana won't stop this nonsense. It will get a lot worse.
re: Does it feel to anyone else like LSU has been hated nationally for a bit now?
Posted by ATLTiger24 on 12/29/25 at 3:42 pm to Draconian Sanctions
If Lane Kiffin had left Ole Miss for Florida, which would have happened had LSU not fired Brian Kelly, then I guess you'd say the media hates Florida right now.
The media loves to criticize coaches who leave teams under contentious circumstances. I have not seen one single media member criticize LSU for hiring Kiffin under these circumstances. All of the criticism has been directed at Kiffin. There is a difference.
The media loves underdog stories. That's why they warmed to Kiffin at Ole Miss until he left for LSU.
The media also loves winners. That's why they loved LSU in 2019 and will love us again if Kiffin performs as expected. Until then, LSU football is an irrelevant team with a high-profile coach.

I get if you loved this movie because the message is important to you as a lefty cosplay revolution exercise. Nothing wrong with that at all.
I just don't get the love for this movie stripped away from its politics. PTA is one of the best directors of his generation. This movie is boring and basic. It belongs nowhere near Boogie Nights, Magnolia, The Master, Phantom Thread, There Will Be Blood, Punch Drunk Love, or even Licorice Pizza.
The idea that PTA will finally get the awards he otherwise deserves for this film is garbage, gut I guess telling. It would be like David Fincher winning his first Oscar for a boring, soapy biopic about carbon zero bank robbers who never actually steal anything.
