re: LSUE Juco football

Posted by AtlantaLSUfan on 7/11/25 at 6:14 am

The reason La has very few JUCOs, and too many Universities, is because nearly all of them started as Juco. One by one the legislator approved them offering 4yr degrees then each eventually became a full university.

Recently Delgado CC tried offering 4yr degrees, not sure if it ever passed.

The have a scrappy offense with excellent bunting. They get HBP, walk, and steal bases. Our super athletic 3rd baseman was their worst nightmare for their usual plan of bunting for hits.

LSU not having to throw Anderson against Arkansas in the if-necessary also was a nightmare for Costal. We had 2 stud aces in the finals not giving free passes. Things would have been a lot more interesting if Coastal didn’t have to face Kade in game 1.

Well I for one am shocked that we went with a company accused rigging bids.

Louisiana has absurd process where lowest bidder can be a homeless man using a shelter for his business address. All we care about is who’s the lowest.

That’s how a company of Alabama fans did Tiger Stadium expansion. Instead of a local company doing the work with pride.

re: Cowan, can he start

Cowan is crafty. Knows how to get outs, just needs to re-find his command and confidence.

I’m excited that he appears to be returning.

Is this a list of schools with mutual respect for one another in a cordial almost friendly annual game? If so, then yes this is one of the best.

If it’s a list of 100 bitter rivals, the author has no idea what they’re talking about.

Top players from Baton Rouge go to Uhigh where they literally get treated like kings of the school. They love all of the benefits of being at HS on LSU campus like occasional practice at the LSU indoors. Uhigh stadium is 30ft from the LSU practice facility.

For recruitment, they think “well, I’ve been pretty much at LSU for 4 years, time to go try a different SEC school”.

Cycle repeats every year. LSU needs to close that school down or at least reduce the size.

This is bad information. Baton Rouge economy is doing as good as ever. You can notice when there is a decline. I see lines everywhere and people spending everywhere. This is fraudulent data probably because St George.

I covered it for work multiple times. Found the people to be strange and unfriendly. Can’t think of anywhere I less rather live.

Only good aspect is: it’s between Baton Rouge for home games and Houston for pro sports.

re: LSU-Tulane Baseball 4/29/09 5th Inning - Rare Feat

Not only 2 players hitting 2 HRs in the same inning.

2 players hitting back-to-back HRs in the same inning.

And it was the same exact 2 players. Just impossibly rare and awesome to watch.

He still has the honor of the most decorated player ever to go undrafted.
