Lane would fire his arse immediately and certainly not let him coach the bowl game if he strong armed him like that. Plus, I always thought Frank and Lane had a good relationship.

re: If rumor is true about Frank..

My guess is Frank doesn’t know what his position will be next year. He’s answering truthfully in that regard when asked by recruits. And those he’s recruited and are close to may be waiting it out instead of signing tomorrow.

I’d bet that’s the closest to the truth in this.

Is Klatt trolling?

With this OSU suck off he’s performing on this broadcast? You can hear him pausing to come up with another way to restate how in love he is with them. Awful broadcast.
Of course it is. He made a deal to not announce anything until tomorrow so he’s gotta make it seem like he’s still undecided.
Since Friday, all we’ve heard is internet speculation. Nothing close to confirmed new news on the LK front. This tells me a decision was made a week ago, communicated to OM, and the agreed upon plan is being executed for this week into Saturday.

Obviously good if you want LK at LSU. Nothing else makes much sense, given what little we have heard from the OM Chancellor, players, etc. Now, LSU supporters’ only slight concern is the “what if”, especially with other jobs being filled this week.

He's leaving, but wants to finish the season


I think this has been the issue all along. How he continues to coach, and for how long, while also taking the LSU job. Plus the OM coaching search aspect as well.

If he’s staying at OM, you just announce it. Even if details aren’t final.

This is to keep things together to finish the season. He’s leaving.
All kinds of hype on the interwebs as this being one of the albums of the year, decade, etc. Cameron Winter continuing his year as the new prince of Indie. This is set up to top a lot of lists in December.

Spent a lot of time with this record over the weekend. And yes it lives up to the hype. Sounds like a lot of classic material and also like nothing I’ve ever heard before at the same time. Another great record from this band that will hopefully be around for a long time to come.

re: Ryne Sandberg has passed away

Grew up idolizing Ryno. WGN every afternoon as a kid it seemed. Losing him and Hulk so close really signifies so much of my childhood. Tough week
New album is very good. I dig the Kristen Stewart song but most of the album are more traditional LH style tunes. Great listen all the way through.
Give DIIV a go. The dream pop/shoegaze style is huge in indie rock right now. Lots of it out there and a lot of it is really good.
Some are repeats already listed but these are on my list:

Bartees Strange - Horror
Sam Fender - People Watching
Sharon Van Etten - Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory
Fust - Big Ugly
Jason Isbell - Foxes in the Snow
Bon Iver - Sable Fable
Momma - Welcome to My Blue Sky
Friendship - Caveman Wakes Up
Florry - Sounds Like…
caroline - caroline 2
Perfume Genius - Glory
Hotline TNT - Raspberry Moon

CWS - ESPN Coverage

Posted by lpgreat1 on 6/15/25 at 2:17 pm
Every other camera cut is to the crowd, a row of fans, or of one particular fan. I feel like I’m watching people watch a baseball game as much as I’m watching the game itself sometimes. This only seems to happen for the CWS too but it’s way over the top this year.

Why is this fairly regular for CWS coverage but for no other sport or event?

Will Elon Be Charged?

Posted by lpgreat1 on 6/6/25 at 11:24 am
Seems like Elon is opening himself up to legal action and possibly criminal charges with some of his comments. I’m sure he’s privy to a lot of classified information and signed all kinds of non-disclosures

If he is what everyone who hates him says he is, then everybody dies.

If he’s a decent human who believes differently than me politicially, God bless him.
Spending time with your children investing in what they want and like to do is vital for their growth and for their self-worth. I agree 100% on that.

I know travel ball is being used as a loose example here, and I don't mean to get on a travel ball or youth sports kick but from my perspective as a father of a 20 year old, a 14 year old, and an 8 year old is that much of this "travel" stuff be it baseball, basketball, Xtreme cheer, etc. is for the parents to have social lives and make friends with other parents.

I've never seen an elementary age boy or girl jonesing to do one specific thing all the time year over year. They may enjoy it, but they want to do other kids' stuff too. As they get older that changes and shifts on both sides (parent and child) regarding the why. But, for the most part, these kids get signed up for this stuff at 7 or 8 years old because mom and dad do nothing but work, homework, birthday parties, car pool, etc. and want other grown ups to socialize with.

Same for why every 30+ year old suddenly starts going to church and retreats and all that (ducks....) but I feel it's mostly true. Not that they don't "believe" or that it can't yield positive results in their lives. But the origin of that is often socially motivated.

re: Wrestlemania 2026 in NOLA

Posted by lpgreat1 on 2/25/25 at 8:02 am to
The stories going into the big events have generally been much better. And the two night format seems to work really well. I anticipate this being a monster event for the city and the best experience of the 3 WMs that NOLA has seen thus far.

WM 30 was great but that really was a different era and things were done on a smaller scale. WM 34 with its length and quality became forgettable overall. This one will be different and will likely feel on the level of the Super Bowl.
Recently, I listened to Tom Petty one way for around 5 hours one way and R.E.M. for the return trip. Both were solid decisions.
So the first official act of DOGE is to cut its leadership in half…sounds like it’s working already.
Supposed to be sworn in at Noon and I think they were close to running behind. Probably explains why Roberts rushed.
