I'm not sure if Dale was gone by then, but Dale could usually rustle up the coin to match the offers for the guys he really wanted.


Dale was gone by then, but Brady had Butch and we were still paying but we were on probation from the Lester Earl deal and that was killing us in recruiting and no doubt factored in on Duhon.

I'm just very curious how this is going to work for the lower-end D1 teams that are trying to justify costs for bats for a season, now they have to provide a complex video system and set up cameras at their shite high school fields?


95% of college teams really invest very little in baseball, and lose a good bit of money on college baseball. That's really a tough ask. I wonder how much it costs to implement this system?

The most egregious offenders that you listed have always been provided cover by the media, and by the NCAA turning a blind eye to their misdeeds.

A brief conversation about Duke with almost any high level HS or EYBL coach Will reveal to you how FILTHY the Blue Devils have been for decades under Coach K.


Man, they bought Zion's Mom a $900K house and got her a job she was not qualified for and EVERYONE knows it - yet they all acted like nothing happened and WW was a pariah. Dick even came on Culotta's show and when confronted with this fact screamed "c'mon Jordy - there's no proof" - it would be laughable in the hypocrisy and double standard if my coach were not the scapegoat.

quote:

Self at Kansas appeared to be a little more hands on with the cheating. If memory serves, he was caught on tape just like Wade, but rewarded with a lifetime contract.


It was a text message that implicated him in a 6-figure offer to a recruit. And Kansas was hit with the same number of recruiting violations accusations as LSU - yet Self is still coaching and Dick and Pat don't and never did go scorched earth on him like they did WW.

And they are still doing it now - villainizing WW for things that other teams and coaches have already been doing extensively with the Euro's but they are trying to make WW the scapegoat again. Ain't gonna work this time.

To the extent Wade and the LSU program were under an "NCAA microscope" is was due to allegations of Wade paying players as an inducement to play for LSU. Soon thereafter, and increasingly more so today there is NO need or concern for that "microscope".


I was always the pound the table for doing the right thing guy most of my life..... for college athletics but I gave up on that as I saw the futility if we wished to compete and now it's irrelevant and as you say and does not apply. It's really ignorant to even bring it up.

But having said all that what infuriates me and most fans on all of this is while our coach was villainized and ostracized - he was the scapegoat for the guys like Cal and Self, and Roy, and K and on an on an on and on who did as bad or worse with little or no consequence. So hell yeah bring my boy back - 95% of us love him and we'll start winning immediately.

Because he's won everywhere he's been and he'll win everywhere he goes,.
I've been about 3 times when they are in Chicago and they buzz Wrigley field all day - pretty darn cool but scares the hell out of many folks there. Sometimes they will show them coming on the big screen but if you are not looking at it - it will surprise you.

I am very surprised they are still solvent though. I hear they are being subsidized by NBA (not sure).


They are and always have been HEAVILY subsidized by the NBA and still hemorrhage money even now at their alleged height of success. they would not have made it 5 years without that. And the players seem to be completely ignorant of the fact, as they constantly demand to be paid like their male counterparts.

In addition to the NBA just flat out financing directly with money they "encourage" advertisers that advertise with them to advertise with the WNBA so that the WNBA can get add money they absolutely would not otherwise.
Teach your body to acclimate to the heat better - you live is South Louisiana - it will take time, but your body will slowly adjust to where you don't have to put your AC in the 60's.

Get fans, take the heavy covers off the bed, sleep with a very light cover or just a sheet, sleep nude or in your draws.

Trevino? I heard his name mentioned a good bit when it comes to best ball strikers.
Been well known for a long time. Glad it's being exposed at this level honestly. Dude has also had an inordinate amount of influence in regard to LSU sports, specifically basketball - for way too long.

As bad or worse than anyone on here.

My nephew who is a golfer says this course favors the best ball strikers. Who are those in today's game and who would everyone consider the best ball strikers of all time?
Are you familiar with the species woman?
They are all pretty horrible on that show, which I think is the vibe they wanted to go for, but I quit watching it after just a couple of years for that very reason.

Too many unlikable people for me and hard to watch BS.

Because football is Waaaay more popular than baseball. And I say that as someone who loves them both.
I think I could live by myself and be fine and happy. Some folks can't live alone - I'm not one of those.

That don't mean I would give up women though.
I don't need a reason.

I wasn't buying them last year and I'm surely not this year. I would be VERY disappointed if we don't beat them fairly convincingly.

Of course our QB still might be a bit rusty and lacking in reps, that kinda worries me.

ea, it's really tough as a pitcher when every game you're desperately trying to keep the score below 2 runs.
The pirates are 3rd in runs scored per game at 5.29

1 Washington 5.38
2 LA Dodgers 5.31
3 Pittsburgh 5.29


Lazy narrative - anyway - we're not judging him on wins and losses. That stat has very little value in evaluating pitching.
The renderings have way to many fans in the seats. After the initial bump it will be back to 5-10K per game.
