You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

You may want to go back and reread that post.

He was not talking about a southern accent. He was talking about a strictly Georgia accent.

If you ask anyone from outside the south what state a southern accent is from, it's unlikely anyone could say it's Georgia, or Mississippi, or Alabama, or several other states.

What is likely is if those same people heard an accent from southern Louisiana, they would be able to identify it.

The NCAA has created a mess.


As much as I don't like the NCAA, to be fair we have to blame certain activist judges. Those judges (and the players' lawyers) created this mess.
If a judge rules he can play, it will have a huge impact of all of college basketball (and other sports).

There are a large number of players who opted to go to the NBA and didn't make a team. How many of them would come back to play for a school and get paid? I'll bet a lot of them.
Someone from Texas talking about frontage roads!

I've traveled all over the U.S., and Texas has some of the worst-designed access and frontage roads in the U.S.

Can some of the fielding issues connect with the bad pitching? Errors due to so many on bases due to walks. Errors due to hard hit balls to fielders.

I know, there shouldn't be that many errors regardless of the pitching. But I have a feeling there wouldn't have been as many errors without all the bad pitching.
Six years ago it was against the rules for anyone to stand within six feet of me. Sometimes I miss that.

Y’all share reality show lists don’t you?


I have no idea what you're even talking about. I graduated from LSU, and left Louisiana years ago. It's embarrassing to watch local sports and see our coach saying things that shouldn't be out there.

Still not quite sure why you have any interest at all. You watch a lot of reality shows huh.


I live 900 miles away from Louisiana, and Kiffin's comments have been in our sports news here several times in the past days.

He didn't need to make the comments, especially for a magazine like Vanity Fair.
While the numbers seem close, baseball is not like football. If these were football statistics, we could consider them close. In baseball, the statistics are much more apart. This is what happens when a sport has lower scores.
It's amazing the mood difference on the Rant after two wins.

but Nebraska fans had way more hatred for Oklahoma than vice versa


Having grown up in Nebraska, I don't remember Husker fans had any hatred for OU. I think it was more respect and wanting to knock off the Sooners since OU was always so good.

Since OU was Nebraska's only real competition, and I think what's really overlooked, the fact the game was played on Thanksgiving Day or the Friday after for so many years, it became a game for both teams to look forward to.

I would have to guess Oklahoma - Texas is the biggest rivalry game.

Now it's Iowa - Nebraska on Thanksgiving Friday.

Georgia Tech - Georgia
- Georgia's - Florida


I'm not sure where you got this information, but knowing Georgia Bulldog fans, GT is the rival.

Contracts and payments to NIL are not public info. Fact is, we don’t know what the numbers are. At best you have a “slightly educated” guess. At worst you have some dumbass reporter artificially inflating numbers to create a headline….


Most of these reports are estimates based on adding together all the known amounts paid to the athletes. In many cases, the athletes report, and in other cases the donors report.

And Baton Rouge is better?
It's not about championships or season games or blowouts or byes or ?. It's about MONEY!
Someone explain to me the magic number 24. First round -- 12 teams left. Second round -- six teams left. Now what? Round robin play?

If it's going to require some byes at the beginning, who gets those?

It will not do away with arguments, it will cause more.
Reverse it.

An Ole Miss 50-year-old wearing an Ole Miss shirt sits himself in the LSU student section. After a bunch of problems, he is removed.

He then goes back to the student section and causes more problems.

1. How many beers (and other things) will LSU students throw at him?

2. What will be LSU fans' reaction when the Ole Miss man decks one of the LSU students?
Someone defending this guy needs to remember he's already been kicked out of the section once before this. If you're going to get drunk at a game and want to fight, it might be a sign to you to cool it.
This thread reminds me of watching Jazz games in the dome. Not good.

how does UConn keep winning NCAA tourneys damn.


I've always thought it's their location in the huge population mass. They can find recruits from literally millions of high school kids. Once the winning begins, they can then appeal to high school kids nationwide.

They're the poster children for delusions of thinking they're still a blueblood.


I'm not sure who you know who is a Nebraska fan and considers the program is still a blueblood. I do know Nebraskans, and they believe the opposite. They know how high they used to be, and how low they've been the past 25 years. They always have hope, but they also have no delusions that they're any better than the lower half of the power teams.
