Coach LK may pick up SEVERAL current NFL players with the new decision.


You have a strange definition of “current NFL players”

I’ve seen a lot of overreactions to this & I don’t like it but it seems like this is just a one time thing for a specific group of players


In general I'm tired of the judges making dumb rulings to make guys eligible that shouldn't be.

I don't feel like this is necessarily one of those cases though. The NCAA purposely waited to rule on 5for5 to try to make it harder for 2022's to gain the extra year that everyone before them and everyone after them got.

This is just attempting to give them that year. And these guys may not have attempted to go pro if they knew they had another year in college.

it is consistent with his and the SEC's position in similar cases.


Did they file something in the Bediako case? I remember them being against it, I just don't remember if they actually filed anything (or even needed to).

For the same 12 minutes everyone else does. So what.

Ryan Barnett on the way out. He's been one of my favorites for a while. Sorry to see him go, but I think he needed to go back down a level.

River and Riden


Too bad they're going to have to give up track for travel ball soon.
The premise is so absurd that it might actually be good.
quote:

Not necessarily if those previous players were DSA's, its not like brining on an incoming freshman.


I think the DSA rule is why our third catcher for this season is a 5th year senior and not a true freshman.
Simpson is trying to. I haven't seen anything on Yorke.

Neither would be back at LSU if they are in college baseball at all.

It's unclear if Stanfield still has eligibility as he was playing in an independent league (2nd half of the MLB draft league functions as a pro league), or if he's even pursuing college baseball again.

I was told...ah frick it nevermind, that jokes been done to death
Looks like Will Furniss will be back at Ole Miss for another year. I know Eddy has been very vocal on Twitter about how the NCAA went out of their way to screw the c/o 2022 guys. Glad its looking like it will work out for him to get another year.

I don't know how reasonable it is for a lot of teams to add anyone unless there is more clarity around the roster limits and the transfer portal for the c/o 2022 players though.

I feel like our roster is set, but who knows nowadays.

Breaking news alert from 2040:

"Men are creating generational wealth at rates never seen before"


In order for it to be "generational" there would have to be a next generation.

Also mentioned how Kiffin's pass first offense. Just a little research would show differently.


Kiffin also talks constantly about wanting to be able to run the ball.

The two things I thought about Kiffin while he was the HC/OC other places is that 1) He's one of the absolute best coaches at getting a QB comfortable in the flow of the game and 2) he's one of the most aggressive coaches at attacking defensive weaknesses.

The first thing is hard to do in a pass first offense. The second thing can make it look like a pass first offense because that's where most of the big plays come from and that's the highlights everyone sees.

Those two things are why I'm excited about watching our offense this year.

At LSU in 2012, transferred and sat out 2013


I think he went to Delgado between LSU and Ole Miss.
quote:

Speculation or is there some truth to this?


Speculation on my part. There are a bunch of former players who actually finished their careers at LSU that couldn't stand Mainieri. I can only imagine the feelings the ones who were pushed out might have.
quote:

His pitching coach at Mandeville High is Christian Trent (former OM pitcher), so that might also have something to do with it.


Also a former LSU pitcher. But I'd imagine Mainieri made sure that he didn't have a favorable opinion of the LSU program.
There is some sort of weird fascination with pushing every life event to younger and younger generations.

Promposals, middle school commitment announcements, U-8 travel ball championship rings.

All of it is bullshite and it lowers the value of the real life actual events these things a modeled after. It's a big deal to sign with a college to play sports. Why are we watering it down with a middle school or travel ball commitment ceremony or announcement?

It's a big deal to win a HS championship. Why are we watering it down by giving away oversized Jostens bullshite rings every weekend every summer?

It's a big deal to get engaged. Why are we watering it down by making every simple dance date request as elaborate as the proposals you see on TV and movies?

I'm sure I sound like an a-hole on some of this stuff, but when every little thing that happens is a "special occasion" then nothing is actually a special occasion.

Now you're just making things up.

what is the backstory with the hatred between TD and Mascona?


It's mostly that he sucks and people here aren't afraid to say he sucks.

quote:

he has said he would never go on TD.


This is a flat out lie.
We haven't done that, only because the times we went to Healdsburg were 100% wine focused, but I would definitely check out the coast. I've hear Bodega Bay is really cool and less than an hour away. Sebastapol is a nice little town on the way.

I'm not familiar with Jenner, but it looks to be about the same drive time, but with more windy roads, which probably means more scenery. But everything up there is beautiful scenery.
