Landry is technically correct but not practically so. Then practically take the taxpayer burden out of the technical contract. Replyreplies3... up vote5
Here’s the one I replied to. There are several others where you say ‘ it’s in ink’ etc
My point is, it doesn’t say the words ‘ the taxpayers are responsible’ so that cannot be taken out.
It’s just that if you ask an attorney who is responsible for the buyout and then you go down the entire cascade you eventually arrive at the taxpayer because LSU is a state entity.
LSU is the responsible party. LSU has many sources of funding but in the end, in a total Armageddon, the final rung in the ladder is the state, i.e. the taxpayers.
But, here’s the kicker. We are discussing buyout.
In the scenario that this would reach that far down the ladder of responsibility— just don’t fire the guy!!
Then there’s no buyout. And if the boosters don’t pay, the athletic department has gone insolvent, the university has gone insolvent, and the state has gone insolvent — losing football games won’t be the biggest issue.

the taxpayer is on the contract
How would you propose to remove the taxpayer from the contract, as mentioned in your previous post?
It’s not like it’s directly stated in there that the taxpayer is responsible. LSU is responsible, because LSU is hiring the coach to work for LSU. The only way to get “the taxpayer” out of the contract is to not have LSU named.
I’m genuinely curious what people want to see in a contract to alleviate this “problem”?

The contract between a coach and a university is, and always will be, between the coach and the university.
That makes the university ultimately responsible
If it is a state university, that makes the taxpayers ultimately responsible
This is every coaching contract, and every university employee contract, and is not alterable unless you want to have a major booster hire the Coach directly as a personal employee. It is not alterable because the coach WORKS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
However, university leaders will go out into the community and solicit donations to cover the cost of the Coach or the cost of the buyout.
If donors are unwilling to donate said funds, the coach will simply not be hired or fired. And to be honest, if donors are not willing to pony up the money for the hire buyout, maybe there is not enough consensus that the coach should be hired/fired in any event.
So, therefore, the taxpayer is “technically” responsible ( just like they are responsible for every other employee of any state university), but there is not a reasonable scenario where they would ever actually have to come up with the money.

You have to look at more than just the record. Lots of guys end up with a three or four year run because they happened onto some special players. Curley Hallman is a very extreme example of this, but there are many others.
The thing about a Sumrall is that he did it at 2 schools. I’m not saying he’s the guy we need to get, just saying that that is a relevant data point

re: Why do people just assume Tiger is the Goat?
Posted by yallallcrazy on 6/15/25 at 6:27 pm to Tyga Woods
Jack: 18 majors and 19 seconds. Of the Forty majors played in the 1970s he finished in the top 10 in 35 of them ( heard this today on PGA Tour radio and have not confirmed). 73 top 10s
Tiger : 15 majors and 6 second places. 40 top 10s.
The way I always think about it is that Jack has the greatest record of all time, Tiger was the most dominant for an extended period of time that has ever been.
Not sure which one of those that makes the GOAT. Do you prioritize the record over decades, or the level of dominance over like one decade? Either way, no one else is in the same category as those two.

re: Speaking of balls, that Titleist ad with "Won't Get Fooled Again"...
Posted by yallallcrazy on 6/3/25 at 7:37 pm to bopper50
I remember the first time I hit one. I had found it on the course. Prior to that I was constantly debating and going back-and-forth between wound balls for spin and things like precept that flew so nicely.
I have found this one on the course, dropped it on the fairway and hit a six iron to the green. It flew like the solid balls. Next hole I had a little pitch shot that spun like a bottle. It was like a magic potion.

27 holes. We used to play there while the Belle Chase Air Show was going on. The planes would make turns over the course and hit the gas to get back into formation over the airbase. Was always a unique day on the course!

you can’t fully define a divot.
You cannot. Divots go through a progression and at some undefinable point they are not divots anymore. Nearly every spot in any fairway that isn’t perfect is likely a spot that’s been hit off of before, even if a week ago.
And the idea that a lie in the fairway is supposed to be perfect isn’t really accurate either. Your odds are certainly better, but it isn’t guaranteed just like a bad lie in the rough isn’t guaranteed. That’s golf. Hit it, find it, hit it again. The one who can do that the best and deal with what comes up wins.

a single or twosome behind a foursome at a public course on the weekend,
First off, this shouldn’t happen often. Busy public courses should pair groups like this up. When I have played some very well known courses in the past as a single I was told I could play but would have to wait for a tee time with a group I could fill in with. No availability for singles/ 2somes.
That said, if I ever am playing as a single or a 2some I have NO expectations of being let through. It was my choice to play in a manner that does not match the speed of even an efficiently managed course where 4somes are the norm. I definitely appreciate being let through, but do not expect it.

This place used to be pretty good in Centerpoint, and may be closer for you. I used to be a member. I am not sure it’s still open or what the quality is currently as it’s been several years, but the website is still up.

It’s not in its best shape ever ( it can be remarkable for a heavily played city course ), but it’s good enough shape for sure. Some poa on greens.
It’s a pretty open driver course but there are many holes w OB. You have to hit good approaches.
Water pinches in way farther than you think in front of #1and #15 green, so getting on in 2 on those par 5s is a really risky play. My plan is lay up short on 1 and on 15 aim at the fwy bunker with 2nd shot and forget the green ( unless you are really long).
Do not be long on approach to 2. If you go over green you’re likely wet. It’s a really good short hole.
For me, putts break a bit less than what I see. But that’s variable depending on where else someone plays I would guess.

I have 2 pairs. They don’t look narrow but somehow they are a bit narrow. I generally don’t consider wide sizes but these are a bit tight across the toe box. Everything else about them is A+. Grip, cushion.stability all excellent.

It’s actually a pretty good course as far as variety. Short holes that require accuracy , long wide open holes #4 is borderline as it’s a bit too long for most, but if you just play safe off tee and pitch up y’all win more than you’ll lose.
#15 is dumb though. Forced carry with poor lay up options. Very disproportionate advantage for being long, and this is coming from someone who can traditionally carry the hazard no problem ( though age is having a say in that now).
