Best arm from right field I’ve ever seen. I hated the Pirates but it was fun to watch him play.

Yeah, that one play they always show of him throwing from deep right to third base, UNREAL!!

I don't think I've ever used that slot to slide my junk through to pee. I just pull them down, less effort actually.

If he can't win 10 games with this roster, it will never happen. He had the Heisman winner and two all-pro receivers and couldn't do it.

He also had a historically bad defense and there are several reasons for that but talent IMHO or lack thereof was absolutely the main one - and that's mostly on BK.

He's upgraded there significantly. Let's see what that gets us.

Bottom line it took BK longer than it should have to get the lay of the land here, at least for a coach getting paid what he is. He had to overcome some mess left over from the previous administration, but he made his own mistakes as well - LSU should never - ever have that poor a talent on defense - EVER.

I think he's FINALLY remedied that. He's significantly upgraded the defense at almost every position and the depth as well. This will be the most talented team he's had since he's been here and IMHO since the 2019 team, and I really don't think it's debatable.

Time to earn your money BK. I sure hope you do. We all do....well - the vast majority of us do.

I really think that this will be the most talented team overall that Kelly has fielded - especially on defense and in terms of overall depth. And I don't really even think that is debatable.

However two things concern me:

1) the Offensive line - I think by the end of the year it may be better than last year's but the lack of experience and of playing together as a unit might make the start of the season pretty rough for them, especially against what is probably Clemson's strength, their D-line.

2) Lot's of transfers, talented yes but how will they mesh and how will some handle not playing as much as they thought and can the staff keep that to a minimum and get them to buy in.

Ole Miss may have had the most talented roster in the SEC last year but they lost to us, Kentuck and Florida. Never know how that dynamic will work.

But it's Kelly's job to make it so - so no more excuses - he's got a talented enough roster to make the playoff - it's time BK.

I can’t get into MLB but college baseball is awesome to watch.

I appreciate your passion but if LSU ain't playing I'm not the least bit interested in watching college baseball. But I'll eat up every inning of LSU baseball once post-season comes around.

Same with MLB, I'm a passionate Cub fan, I'll watch 100 games a year and I go at least twice to a series in Wrigley every year and at least one Cub road trip every year and I love every minute of it. But probably won't watch a full 9 innings combined of any other teams, until MAYBE the playoffs.

I remember her being not super attractive but also that she smelled bad.

She had a fantastic body - I don't think there's any question about that. Face I guess you might could quibble but I thought it was pretty enough with the tight body.

Don't remember the stinking part but apparently more than one person says it was an issue.

College baseball for 95% of schools in the country is an afterthought, a minor sport like track and field or even tennis is at most schools. What we have at LSU is not normal and is pretty darn unique and special.

Absolutely too early.

For example Matt Shaw with the Cubs started the season in the majors, he was a first round pick for the Cubs, not as high a pick as Crews but he was one of the Cub's top prospects and rose up through the ranks quickly. This was his first taste of the major and his first 70 at bats did not go well.

Sent him down and brought him back a month later and in about in the 17 games since being back up he's hitting .327.

I could give you dozens of other examples, but Shaw is one - he's talented - but Crews is more talented. Give it some time.

The Rocco's shot deal was fun the first time until it got bought. I don't find any thrill by that contest any longer.

Some still do - seems to be as important to some that LSU win this as win the CWS!!
