re: Should Ed Orgeron's ex-wife receive money from his LSU buyout?Louisiana's SC to decide
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/29/24 at 9:38 am
The females always win in the long run, regardless of what the court rules. My divorce attorney - who was a worthless POS - told me the first time I met with him that if I could prove my ex-wife was a crackhead and a prostitute was the only way I was getting the kids and not paying child support in ...
re: Shocking to think two 17 year olds are now the most powerful people in college football!
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/28/24 at 11:01 am
Good point. It's sad that this is what college athletics has become because it has absolutely nothing to do with college.
The worst part is NIL is in its infant stage, so the money being thrown around is only going to get larger and more outlandish!...
Shocking to think two 17 year olds are now the most powerful people in college football!
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/26/24 at 7:30 pm
Whether we like it or not, NIL/transfer portal is destroying college football and it's just getting started. For years, Nick Saban was known for processing players that didn't live up to expectations, but all that has changed now. The players are in total control and coaches are now being processed,...
re: For those still not sure what happened with Underwood.

Can we just remove the word college from anything associated with NIL because this is beyond ridiculous! ...
re: With big $$$ being given out like candy, what happens to players that are complete busts?

[quote]What makes you think it's the players' attorneys drawing up the paperwork? It's a negotiated process, just like any 5-8-figure business deal. [/quote]
I was assuming that because the players have all the power and the players are also just teenagers, so I would assume they would have legal...
With big $$$ being given out like candy, what happens to players that are complete busts?
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/25/24 at 10:20 pm
Are NIL guaranteed deals because it would seem like a school can only take so many busts, before the donors quit writing checks? With the players in total control, it would seem like the attorney drawing up the paperwork is going to make sure the players are protected financially, regardless if they...

[quote]They’re just saying he’s out of touch with the kids.[/quote]
I don't agree that he's out of touch with the players, but he's old school (which I love) and kids these days want you to kiss their arse and bow to their every whim.
Saban was an absolute dick to most of the players, but he ...
re: Did LSU just get played by the Underwood family?
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/25/24 at 9:24 am
The situation is possible. Players are now telling coaches they are going to sit the rest if the season to save that year of eligibility, so they could easily pull themselves off the field to save themselves for another team....
re: Did LSU just get played by the Underwood family?
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/24/24 at 10:10 pm
Capitalism? Since you think it's OK for players to chase the money and use whatever means necessary to get top dollar, I guess you're okay if the top two players on your team leave midseason to go to another team because they got a better offer. ...

[quote]It’s very possible Underwood could transfer to LSU after his freshman season. Depends if he plays a lot his first year or not

I thought one of his requirements on going to Michigan was he was going to be the starter Day 1.
The scary point about this NIL situation is it's just...
Did LSU just get played by the Underwood family?
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/24/24 at 6:00 pm
For weeks, it was being reported that Underwood was heading to LSU and it was basically a done deal. As of Oct. 29th, Sports Illustrated reported that Underwood had returned to visit BR several times and had not taken an official visit to any other campus.
In a matter of days, however, Underwood ...
re: Pickett has removed LSU from his bio and unfollowed LSU football
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/23/24 at 9:17 am
This is why I don't follow recruiting as closely as I used to because the players no longer have any team pride/commitment and will jump to a new school in a heartbeat. All signing day means today is I'm a part of your team now and you better kiss my arse and bow down to me or I'm out!...
re: Underwood switching hurts, but may be a blessing in the long run!
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/23/24 at 1:12 am
How is Manning, who was rated the No. 1 player in the country coming out of high school, not a bust based on what he's done so far.
For the last two seasons, Manning has been unable to win the starting job and has become nothing more than a 5-star clipboard holder.
Yes, I would definitely cal...

I totally forgot about DJ and that's a great example. He was a "can't miss" and now he's buried on the depth chart of a horrendous FSU team.
The problem is we have these recruiting websites and sports radio talk shows t...

[quote]Haha are you trying to spin this into Arch Manning being a bust?[/quote]
Manning was the No. 1 player in the country and has sat on the bench for two years and has been unable to beat out Ewers. Since you're so confident that Manning is not a bust, please list his accomplishments at Texas ...

Apparently, you don't follow recruiting closely because for every 5-star that lives up to their billing, there are 50 so-called "can't miss" prospects that are colossal failures.
Underwood may have a great career at M...
Underwood switching hurts, but may be a blessing in the long run!
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/21/24 at 8:41 pm
If you look at the tape, it's clear Underwood is very talented and he's the rave of this year's recruiting class, but he's not the first ultra-talented high school QB to be called a can't miss prospect, but rarely do they ever live up to the hype.
I think LSU made a very strong and fair offer, bu...

re: Prediction for crowd size Saturday?
Posted by SwampyWaters on 11/21/24 at 3:25 pm
The sad part is just four weeks ago we were sitting at No. 8 and almost a shoe-in for the playoffs and now we face Vandy - the long-standing doormat of the SEC - on a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium and it's a very real possibility our stadium could be empty by halftime!
IMO, if Vandy takes its...
