re: Does Frey have a hit in the CWS?

We don't beat Arkansas without his walk in the 9th. And that was a hell of an at bat after getting behind in the count.

You baws need to realize she brings more awareness to LSU than probably anyone aside from Shaq. She doesn't really need to rep LSU at this point in her life but she does.
LSU is lucky to have her as a brand ambassador whether you like her shtick or not.

The "that's not my job" people are the fricking worst and should have no avenue for promotion.
It screams pettines and immaturity.
Step up and be a valuable asset. If you're not rewarded for it down the line THEN go find another job where you're valued (which shouldnt be a problem if you're as valuable as you think you are).

Pretty sure Tony Hawk is a billionaire.
Why he needs to peddle pyramid scheme supplements is beyond me.

I've never felt this bad for a team after an LSU win.
Those pictures of the LF'er and his teammates trying to console him were devastating. I don't if it's because I just had a kid and I would hate for him to go through something like that but I truly feel bad.

No, the only explanation is Aloy had to think there were two outs and this would end the game.
He obviously didn't because he would've started premature celebrating if he thought he got the last out. He didn't react at all.
The reality is he was being way too conservative (probably nerves) and took the easiest route to an out.
re: Are baggy suits making a comeback?
Posted by rintintin on 6/18/25 at 12:01 pm
Suits got a little too snug recently.
The pro athletes you see on TV with their jacket button hanging on for dear life look just as ridiculous as these guys.
Suits should be tailored, not tight and not baggy.

Happy Father's day.
Wife watched the little guy and let me go have a few pints and watch the LSU game last night.
Today just hanging with my son all day.
First Father's day for me.

Bro we get it, you don't like alcohol.
Nobody is drinking it for the health benefits. You can consume alcohol and still be healthy though.

think the decline in alcohol consumption has a lot to do with stricter DWI laws. For most people, drinking usually starts as a social activity somewhere away from home, but now even having a small amount and getting pulled over can mean risking a DWI. I think this plays a bigger role than people often acknowledge.
I don't know, it's way easier to not drive nowadays with Uber. And kids use it regularly.
Back in the day you really had no choice other than have a DD, which nobody wanted to be when I was young :lol:

Funny how they use the word meritocracy in the first sentence.
They absolutely would've never uttered that word under the previous administration.

While all these things are true and were reasons I didn't hesitate to leave when I had an opportunity 3 years ago, I sure as hell miss Louisiana and we'll certainly move back at some point.
The people and culture are the biggest aspects we miss. And while we took it for granted living there it's truly hard to find elsewhere.
And we moved to a place that always ranks high on these lists.

re: How will LSU pay $20.5 mil starting 25/26 season when all profit goes to 30 other sports?

the 20.5 million $ comes from a pool of 2.7 billion $ that the players won in lawsuit, so the money is not coming from school coffers
This is not true. The $2.7B is for past "damages". It will be paid out to former college athletes.
The $20.5M is completely separate and will be the responsibility of the universities.

Easy to do make each sport their own P&L and if you don’t create a positive revenue you don’t get any $$$. It’s a business not a charity.
You can’t run a business and lose money anymore and use FB as your piggy bank.
That's silly, academic sports weren't created to operate like a business and make a profit.
The OP is mostly correct in the crux of the problem that all universities will face. People can downvote it all they want, but it's simply math, there isn't enough money to go around.
re: NCAA house settlement has been approved. Schools can now directly pay athletes

Is this good or bad? Seems like nothing is changing to what is already happening except now schools can pay on their own...
Nothing is changing?
Schools are essentially going to be required to pay athletes out of their direct athletic funds if they want any semblance of a competitive program.
That's a pretty massive change. Will it affect the big sports like football and basketball? To a smaller degree because most money will be funneled there, but the smaller sports (the sports that actually make up the majority of college sports) are going to be negatively affected.
Colleges will basically have to choose what sports they want to keep because they simply won't have enough money to go around and fund them all.

Biles can signal her virtues on trannies in women’s sports because she competes in probably one of the only sports where a “penis equipped woman” probably wouldn’t have an advantage over actual women.
Male height and lack of flexibility compared to female gymnasts would be a disadvantage in the women’s gymnastics disciplines. On beam and uneven bars for sure.
Nah, if beam and bars were male events you'd see short athletic guys doing ridiculous shite on them in no time.
Biles can virtue signal because she already got hers. She doesn't have to worry abt competing against men anymore.
