It's all relative for me. When, where, how, and in what company. Context matters a lot.

Cursing in and of itself not a big issue for me, but it can become one in the hands of the wrong person.

The irony is that the 2022 guys who never pursued the NFL aren’t the issue. The guys getting punished are the ones who were told their college eligibility was over, tried to continue their football careers professionally, got cut, and then learned that the courts are giving them the fifth year they should have had all along. Apparently they would’ve been better off sitting at home all summer. Makes perfect sense.


Exactly, that seem lost on many of the folks pontificating on this. There is actually a sound reason. Now would 100% of those folks filing suit have stayed had they known a few months back, probably not but many would and that's the spirit of this, they could have but were denied even that option and left out by the timing of the change of rules.

I have filters set up. My folders are set up by priority. High priority folder gets replied right away. Daily Priority gets a reply before I leave. Low priority gets an "eventually". Adverts go to the external folder.


Absolutely there are filters than can help with the junk and filter very well. Also, there is a big difference between leaving unread e-mails in your inbox and deleting on site. It's pretty easy to tell the junk and it takes one second to delete and 5 seconds to delete your deleted items folder at the end of the day

There’s definitely going to be pushback once some national voices start pushing the counter narrative, I.e pointing the hypocrisy of the SEC’s position.


The hypocrisy is the key here with the SEC, the media, everyone - this is JUST LIKE the WW stuff. folks don't like Kiffin just like they don't like WW, so even though he's not doing anything many others are, he gets treated like he started it and is the only one doing it. And all others are ignored so he is put out there to take the whipping for everyone.

It's pure laziness in reporting this, and pure laziness by the SEC in trying to manage this. Hopefully the few non-lazies will chime in and expose it for what it is.
I don't think we'll know if we are and just how stingy we are for a few weeks. I honestly don't think Saturday's game will answer that.

I will be interested to see if Baker with this collection of players can at least slow down running QB's. I actually thought we had good talent on D last year and Vandy and A&M embarrassed us.

I get like 1,500-2k emails a day. I ain't reading all that shite.


I don't pretend to know the dynamics of everyone's work e-mails - I don't get near that many but I do get over 100 a day typically and often more. To say I read them all would be misleading but it's easy to tell what's junk and what's legit and I glance at the title on the junk and delete right away, but there are never any unread e-mails in my box they are either read and kept or deleted.
Mascona said if you huddled them all together it would be 15 or 20K???? I'm not so sure it would be that much.

Yordan may still be the best hitter in baseball this season, but PCA has been the best position player overall.


Yordan is definitely the best hitter this year.

As for PCA - I think folks that don't watch much baseball or don't watch much baseball besides their team do not realize how good he is defensively, he's a generational defensive talent in center, and he has top level speed which translates well on the bases and gives other teams issues at time because of it. And yeah, oh by the way, he may not quite be the hitter Yordan is this year, but he ain't all that far behind. And again, he's only 24 - quite a year he's having.
quote:

PCA is leading Ohtani by 1.7 WAR. Ohtani has pitched 85.2 innings, that's half a season for the average starter these days. If Ohtani had pitched July and August, AND maintained the career-best pace he was setting, they would be tied. But he would not be blowing away or even ahead of PCA.


As I told my friend WCA earlier in this thread after he scoffed at the War because Ohtani had not pitched in 5 week or whatever it was - get back in a time machine and go back to the day Ohtani was pulled from pitching, PCA's WAR was still higher THEN!!

Folks constantly underestimate how good he is defensively and how much value that adds, plus Ohtani has cut way down on the base stealing, Pete has not. Dude is only 24 and doing sick things. He may not be the best player in baseball but he's absolutely close and it looks sustainable the way he's doing it!! He's definitely a big favorite for MVP this year.
A&M pipes in music and crowd noise and have the biggest speakers I've ever seen - overkill.

The whipping they put on Florida in 1982 was just special…


That's when we found out the kid from Patterson was even better than his much more highly recruited backfield mate Gary James. He put on a show that game.
quote:

Great team in 1982 but a much greater man. A true ambassador for LSU.


Because it was the first LSU team in my memory to beat Bear Bryant, that team will always be super special to me. And Stovall got most of those great players on that team to come here. Dalton is still my favorite all time Tiger.

Went to that Orange Bowl that year, almost beat a stud Nebraska team - took them to the end.

Stovall was also a 3-time all-pro at safety in the NFL.
quote:

If we don't lose that game to Arkansas late in the season we're probably in the National Championship talk possibly with a rematch with Auburn.


Piggies were kneeling down inside our 10 as the clock ran out, it's not like we almost won that one.
Hell, my Dad went there in the mid 80's when we played there he said the stadium was half full then. College athletics is not that important to them out there.

I thought we were fortunate not to have lost more that year, the first game against UNC they had 13 players suspended and we still had to withstand a dropped touchdown pass by them at the end to survive, the Tennessee debacle was the worst I've ever felt after an SEC win - it was embarrassing and the Florida fake field goal where the ball thankfully bounced right back up to our kicker - whew. Even the Ole Miss Victory was a nail biter where we had to score a late TD to secure victory over a 4-8 Rebel team.

Bama win was great, we earned that one - but all in all not my fondest of years, the results ended up well enough but for me the process left something to be desired.

Long overdue, it had become flag football.

Nuss has arm talent so he can make a play every now and then but he cant "consistently" process. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be on a roster he's just not some burrow jr this board thinks he is.


I always chuckled at that Cane's commercial when he is going through the drive in with the Mannings and Cooper is taking order, he tells Nuss - "your Dad says you are not good at making decisions so he already ordered for you".

I found it ironic. I just think this may be something he always is behind most of his peers on. Again, I hope I'm wrong, I'd like to see him do well. he came back and played hurt and played for his teammates - and played for LSU. I'll always admire that.
Gotta say, I only do Kareoke maybe once every 2 years, and I've seen a few 50+ guys sing - none sang that. Pretty tough to hit some of those notes in that song.
