Just wanted to update y’all about asking my sons’s coach to allow him to wear #18 this year.

Had a great conversation with coach during his office hours. He apologized for the way he treated me after the game a few weeks ago, and I admitted talking to him after a loss probably wasn’t the best timing. Water under the bridge.

That being said, he told me that due to my son being an offense guard, #18 would be unavailable. I told him that in the new college rule book any player can wear any number they desire. He said he hadn’t heard that but would look into it.

It’s been 48 hours and I still haven’t heard anything. Should I make another appointment with him?

Look, I know we have a lot to work on as a team if we plan on making a CFP run, but the sky is NOT falling.

We had 45 yards of penalties compared to 80 yards for FS. Great team discipline, and that is the foundation that we will build on.

Keep your heads up, boys. One game doesn’t define us as a team.

Got a honey-do list a mile long this weekend, won’t have time to grill. What are y’all’s go-to game day crock pot recipes?

Wedding coming up for the niece. I’ve been really into Hey Dudes the past two years, I think they are laid back and stylish. I wear the dressier ones to church and I coach in ones with more of a sole on them so I can run down the foul line if need be. My question is for Hey Dude owners out there; which ones would you wear with a light weight, summer suit? I wish they made some glossy brown ones.

Not happy at all today. Really struggling at work when I think about our boys out there fighting at practice.

We are one team, one heartbeat. How are we supposed to have one heartbeat while we are fighting one another?

*To the LSU coaches that get on this board: you have got to bring the team together. It’s a must. Live together, die alone (Lost quote). I was having a little issues with some kids on my team. Very similar, they were playing the comparison game and getting chippy at practice as 9-10 year olds will do. I sat them down and showed them “Remember the Titans” and let them have some ice cream. Changed the course of our season.

Going to get back to work and hopefully we get our heads on straight.

My son is getting to the age where he’s beginning to get some attention for his athletics (local paper naming him pre-season all district, etc). My question is, where do I go to find him a local NIL deal? Has anyone had any experience with this? I want to ease him into that lifestyle so that when he’s at LSU (hopefully) he won’t be overwhelmed.

I actually couldn’t agree more with this. Worst case scenario Skenes has to come in for the save, pitches a little, and then he can come in against Florida. Very low downside. I’ve done it before with my ace on my travel ball team. He came in for the save and got rocked though and all the moms were so mad at me. But Skenes is a lot better than that.
