talent definition

Posted by YellinTiger50 on 10/13/21 at 8:00 am
We all say, "with the talent we have we should"... add your comment, bring in coaches, win more games.. etc. My father, especially when interviewing potential employees, defined talent this way- "Talent equals values plus attitude plus competency, and if you have half of any of those compo...

Pretend you are the parent of said athlete in the position of opting out? . What is the discussion you have privately with your kid? ...

Dear Myles Brennan

Young man, I hope to goodness you don't read this! That would mean you read this board, God help you. If you read it, you would know your 40 time, expectations, that you in fact do have Elite arm talent. Whatever the Hell that means. As a father of a College athlete, I will say this, as I tell my...

Thanks Pen, amid all the Negatigers, crazy analysis, predictions, etc. the thing we have in common is how much this all means to all of us. Even an old 79 year old coon arse like my Dad who didn't even go to LSU but has so many common connections. He and I had talked weeks ago about how the team a...

Thanks for all the well wishes... My Dad did recount to me... again for the umpteenth time... his favorite LSU Story, not about football, but Pete Maravich… Pete came to my Dad's sister house in BR to pick up my cousin for a date in what my Dad says was 1968. My Aunt thought she smelled alcoh...

How much it means

Posted by YellinTiger50 on 1/7/20 at 7:45 am
My dad is in the Hospital in Lafayette and not doing well. Certainly prayers are appreciated but I was more than surprised when he was taken off a vent to test his breathing when he eventually asked two questions... One, Where is Mom? Meaning his wife, my mother. And Two, has LSU Played yet? We ...

recruiting question/ thought

Posted by YellinTiger50 on 12/12/19 at 10:16 am
Soon enough an 18 year old kid (and his family) will have to deal with this..... "you will be able to monetize a name, image and likeness". Of course maintaining a recruiting balance will be one of the issues. My son is a very good JUCO athlete playing at an All American level in a non revenue spor...

They were tiresome to say the least, one dude had on what looked to be a worn out "Jim Tressel Vest". Collectors item for them I'm sure.........

In a bar in OHIO

Posted by YellinTiger50 on 12/9/19 at 3:00 pm
So I'm in a small bar and grill type joint in the Canton area of Ohio (little town called Bolivar) where my company has an office week before Thanksgiving. These people there are football fanatics just like us. Here I am a Lafayette guy and I threw out some questions about SEC and LSU in particula...
