I actually have never known a sheep dressed in drag. Where do you hang out?

I want to party with you, cowboy.

If it’s so lucrative to do so, why are the top 5 in this list not independent already? Even Notre Dame is seeking the shelter of conference affiliation as a partial member of the ACC for scheduling purposes.

You think ESPN wants to negotiate one-off contracts with schools? Seriously?

I will always pull for Louisville because they unlocked, developed, and nurtured our sweet sweet boy Tyler Shough.

Also, geaux to hell Ole Miss. Geaux to hell.

(I know, Archie Manning, blah blah blah).

I always tell my wife (no pics), kids, and grandkids that no matter where I am, I’m always a phone call away. Australia, Ireland, Boston. Doesn’t matter.

Except inside Tiger Stadium. You’re shite out of luck if you need me and I’m in Tiger Stadium.

I’m happy this has been fixed.

LMAO. Lane isnt leaving LSU for a downgrade in LA. You must be on that hippy lettuce.


Careful. USC is a private Big10 school in the country’s second largest market with more money than GAWD AND TEXAS combined. Oh, and a recruiting stranglehold on just about everything west of the Rockies (when they choose to take advantage of it).

I have no idea why U$C has farted around for the last two decades, but they are scary when provoked.

As long as the student is enrolled by tomorrow they can be added to roster going forward


Does anyone know if these student-athletes are currently enrolled at LSU today?

Or is LSU waiting for this ruling before deciding if the young men will be enrolled?
The content literally says Opinion right above the headline and byline.

Did any newspaper you have ever read have editorial pages?

Not really.

If I had told you in 2005 that college basketball was already on its way to mid-tier/forgettable status among sports fans, you would have thought I was crazy. But the one-and-done ruling, conference realignment, and excessive shoe/apparel company cash flowing into select programs was sinking the sport in real time right before our eyes. I bet most (non-gambling) sports fans couldn’t name the reigning CBB national champion if their life depended on it.

We are heading there. These CFB programs at public universities are well on their way to being the personal play toys of a few billionaires or wards of the state legislatures. Neither is good.

I’ll watch and go to at least one game. But I’m going through the motions.

I remember comments when Kelly first took over about the team not fading as fast as they had been doing in the previous seasons. Of course, that could go back to people seeing what they wanted to see. As fans, we almost always fall prey to that at some point.


They decided to fade early instead. That 2022 team got outscored a total of 78-17 in the first quarter of SEC games. They spent the entire season running uphill.

True. But pour one out for the late, great Starsky's on 13th, the original Omaha mothership for LSU fans from back in the day.

You need to disassociate yourself from these people immediately. You don't need that kind of toxicity in your life.

Lane Kiffin has transferred three times in the last seven seasons.

He has increased his salary 8.5X.

I don't think "what a great system we have now, NCAA" means what we think it means, but I'm pretty sure Lane knows exactly what it means.

I don't think they are. Their funding is drying up so they are trying to hype themselves up again to attract more money.


It does seem that way. I'm getting tired of the tech bros posting to Substack about their 10X productivity gains and claiming "APOCALYPSE NOW!" while the rest of the working class is clearly struggling to get the tools to perform basic tasks reliably, and that assumes their companies even have any makings of organized programs to roll out AI use at all. Most don't.

I'm not sad one bit about the collapse and restructuring of American media and journalism in general, but this is one area where decent reporting and skepticism of claims would help most workers (and executives, frankly) understand what might actually be going on.

We often say "the stock market is not the economy". Well, Silicon Valley and software in general is a lousy proxy for how most people work and get work done.
This clears the way for Curley Hallman to be pardoned for his crimes.

Also, kudos to Nate Newton. The man was speeding down the interstate with almost 200 pounds of pot in the back of his pickup. Being Stoner Santa Claus should get you celebrated, not incarcerated.

I think Iverstine’s Butcher Shop in Baton Rouge carries some Feliciana’s Best products. Not sure if they carry the chocolate milk, but they would probably stock it if you asked. Great folks at Iverstine.
