They did some things well. Allowing over 41.6% ORB is absolutely horrendous and doesn’t have much if anything to do with Thomas.

8-10 in the SEC with LSU's non conference schedule is likely not going to get it done.

It's McMahon's best team, in large part because DJ Thomas is the best player he's had. Thomas may be the best PG in the SEC.

Outside of Thomas, there's nothing special about the group but Sutton is a good player that will probably get you 15/8 in conference games. Nwoko plays well with Thomas and needs to stay out of foul trouble because it's not good behind him.

We'll win games when Mackinnon is knocking down 3s. I'm concerned about what happens when more athletic teams that play defense don't give him the kind of open looks he's been getting against the non con schedule.

They have a shot to make the tournament. SEC is down this year, so I think they need to go 9-9 to make it. I'd say it's 50-50 or slightly below.

Agree with that for sure, most of the big things we've bought at least promote hanging out as a family (golf cart) or getting outside and moving around (trampoline, swings, basketball, bikes etc). But I do agree with the thought.
That's a good idea, thanks. We're on northshore.

"Big" Christmas gifts for kids ideas...

Posted by covtgr on 12/15/25 at 2:52 pm
Wife and I are struggling to come with a fun "big" gift from Santa for the kids this year along with all the other junk we buy. Ages 4 - 11 which obviously makes it a little tougher. In year's past we've done things like Golf Cart (not looking to spend that much this year), Trampoline, Swing/Climbing Set, Basketball Goal, etc. Best we've come up with is a monkey bar setup which costs an amazing $1,500 or so. Would pay it if I thought they'd love it but not all are into monkey bars. Wondering if any good ideas out there. Considering a puppy but kinda late and will probably wait 1 more year on that.

So bad I figured it was fake. He never will be honestly should apologize and delete. Really bad.
Why is it no issue that he’s negotiating another job with his team in contention for the playoffs and Kiffin is a selfish POS for doing the same?
I don't think there's any doubt this is CMM's best team, though that is one hell of a low bar.

They are a great FT shooting team.

The PG is a very good offensive player.

Nwoko will be able to match up physically with anyone.

Sutton has shot the ball at a clip that would make him one of the best 3 point shooters in America. IMO that's not sustainable.

They have some guys that can protect the rim but I see major problems for this team coming when matched up with athletic guards that can play.

I question the head coach's ability to motivate and foster a mentally tough mindset from a team.

Luckily the SEC isn't nearly as strong as last season but it's a steep uphill climb for this group to make it to the NCAA tournament IMO. The non con schedule is so horrific that a loss to anyone other than Texas Tech would be a hard loss to overcome resume wise unless they perform way better in conference than I'm expecting.

I’d like to see a Lincoln Riley team show some balls and win a tough game like the one coming up next week @ Oregon. If he wins it, Id be more interested.
No offense but I find it amazing the percentage of grown adults that don’t understand $53 million today is not the same value as $53 million paid monthly for the next 6 years. There’s probably a million things I should know that I don’t but this one is pretty simple.
Obviously you'd take less to get the money up front, just like nearly everyone does with the lottery/powerball. Just a matter of how much. Plenty to take into consideration on whether LSU would leak damaging personal info by fighting for termination with cause and/or if he wants to coach again or work in television, you are more likely to take a lump sum now so that money from lsu isn't reduced.
SLU needed a desperation 3 at the buzzer to cut it from 92 to 89.
Considering your list includes every single active coach national championship I'm not sure your point is that strong.

re: It's going to be Saban...

Keep it coming and ignore the trolls.

If you talk to people of influence in BR, both political and money people, there is certainly a push to hire Nick Saban and some think it will happen. I tend to think this is like a lot of coaching searches where you have guys used to getting what they want and thinking just because they want it and can throw some money/power around it will happen. Often times these things fall apart. We'll see.
I choose to believe this means Verge has closed on a big fish and Rousse approves.

Video of Rousse walking up to podium...

You don't see his face but I'm 95% sure the fella clapping enthusiastically that Rousse points at is...Heath Schroyer. Obviously been a lot of speculation but can't imagine he's there and interacting like that if not coming on board in some capacity.
