Everyone thought LSU had a severely tarnished brand less than 2 months ago. THIS is what a tarnished brand looks like. The Michigan job is not nearly as attractive right now as it used to be. Couple that with the timing of all this and their options aren’t great.

Not only this, which is all true, but it reinforces that LSU approached it the only way possible - hyperaggressively.

re: Teacher certification in Louisiana

You can be given a singular year emergency license. Schools must follow - at the public school level - a 95% rule of licensure. Due to shortages, a lot of schools are falling short of this requirement. Aside from the status and funding, it is not illegal, though. Just looks bad. However, with all the problems in hiring teachers, be prepared to see a loosening of standards moving forward.

re: Joel Klatt: The NCAA basketball tournament is the "dumbest tournament in all of sports"

hes 100% right.

March Madness is entertaining for casuals or those who just want to watch games and pull for upsets because it’s fun and they have brackets/money on the line.

If you actually are a fan of a basketball team and care about it and the season, its one of the most frustrating/dumbest things about the sport

as a fan you invest all this time and energy into a team over the course of 4 months…yo through a conference slate…then a conference tournament…then await your seeding.

then you get shipped to god knows where and play a single elimination tournament in a sport where refs suck arse and any random game can see your best player get in foul trouble or the underdog team gets key free throws to keep them in a game and your season is over in the blink of an eye.

and the structure itself is wonky…you get a week to prepare for first team in your bracket, then one day to prepare for team 2, then a week for team 3, one day for team four

basketball is not a sport that should be played as a single game.

but again, everything above is great as a casual fan who just wants to take off work drink beer and watch the chaos and carnage

I agree with everything here. NCAA basketball is the hardest national title to win amongst all the sports. Yes, a 16 can beat a 1, but if were best of seven, the number of upsets would go down. Imagine if college baseball was single game elimination. The longer the series, the better chance the best team actually wins.

I feel like the players from the 2019 game are stars in the NFL now while the 2011 players served more as role players.

I voted for Trump but I am still not thrilled about him. I didn't primary for him. I think we have multiple people in his cabinet who would be better presidents.

re: Favorite SEC stadium you’ve been to

I enjoyed my time in Knoxville. Last went in the monsoon game. I was not planning on attending, but I was finishing a training in Louisville, KY and just said why not. Went to the game solo and was looking for a ticket outside the gates. UT fan offered to sell me and I said just one and he said, man I got you. Invited me into his booth. Was a great group of kind people. Didn't charge me a dime and we have stayed in touch.
