re: Super tickets

Posted by LongTime Tiger on 6/4/25 at 12:18 pm
Cheap for post-season tickets.

But you have already paid the season ticket price + Tradition Fund fee for each seat. I know that you know this as a season ticket holder but everyone on TD doesn't realize that.

Also, prepare for Trad Fund fees to go up soon, especially if there are improvements to The Box.
And there might even be a Trad Fund fee added to post season tickets so those that buy on secondary market realize that as well.

I get you but a Ford Raptor or F-250 doesnt cost you $3500 for a brake job when you go through the first set in a Urus in 6 mths. Neither make sense but . . .

Not if the season tickets are in one of the sections that have been designated for visiting team and NCAA officials(yes they get to buy tickets too).

I have tix in 2 different sections. Those that are not being moved are in the account but the others are not currently. TO said they will be by close of business today.

Skip Jewed the shite out of the Box.


The Credit Crisis of 2007-08 with the government bailout of many companies including Merrill Lynch put a damper on fund raising by Skip and caused many cut backs to be made in the construction design. Permanent seating was initially planned, if I remember correctly, for the complete stadium along with building all 16 suites during construction. Instead they had to make numerous changes, later adding 8 suites to the 8 originally constructed and postponing the Marucci Performance Center until later. A berm was planned but scrapped due to cost and time to satisfy the settlement issues caused by BR soil near the river. But time for major upgrades IMO now.
Dont understand the system. My section 217 seats got relocated to section 208, but closer to the field by being in lower part of section
That accent is real. Definitely all yat!

Skip never did anything that wreckless and stupid.


Wouldn't call it either of those but Skip had the reputation of overthrowing his aces. Ben McDonald is a good example. But you never hear any of those guys talk bad about him because they all know how much he taught them and helped them have great MLB careers
Jay's history would indicate either Cade or Anthony, depending on the L/R mis of Little Rock's best lineup.
But please Jay, have faith in your bullpen and your hitters to save both of them and have bullpen day and let Shores, Schmidt, or Primeaux and maybe one more experienced BP guy take care of business on Friday.
Then we are set for Saturday and even the losers bracket incase we have another hitting holiday and need to win an extra 1-2 games.
I start either Shores or Schmidt and have several more ready soon if needed.

This LSU lineup, particularly Jared Jones and Daniel Dickinson, should give Urena fits.


If he throws only FBs then we should crush it but if the ball spins any at all, then JJ will struggle. He still hasn't learned to recognize and hit a slider or curve.
Hope he learns soon so he can have a long MLB career because he certainly have the power.
Landon Collins - he started the problem and broke his Mama's heart

re: Scott Woodward Has No Balls

Jimbo didn't sign that deal until after Scott had been at LSU a couple of years.
so I don't think Woodward was involved much in those negotiations.


If I remember correctly, Scott W was at LSU and had fired Ed O & was rattling the doors of aTm about possibly hiring Jimbo. aTm rushed to extend and make his contract more lucrative including a very large buyout for firing him, to keep him from leaving. In reality, Scott "deked" aTm and everyone else by floating Jimbo and other names while he was already negotiating with BK's agent, Trace Armstong, to get BK to LSU from ND.
You are correct. My bad. So is Americanized Chinese food a true cuisine class or is it just like Tex-Mex, a bastardization of a cultural cuisine.

re: Curiel struggles

Curiel has done his part this year, time for others to step up.


Curiel was really good earlier but is struggling now. The baserunning error. Tonight not getting back to the fence on the double that could have been caught IMO. Either misread the ball or just didn't hustle. Sprint to the fence and work back to the ball.
We consistently make little mistakes that cost a run here, and a run there that cause us to often lose close ball games.
EX: Dickinson trying too hard to distract 2B on ground ball and gets hit on his back leg> GEEZ! Gotta be more aware than that.
Two base running mistakes on Thursday cost the game. Curiel had a brain fart by not sliding and I'm not sure how the 1st out was made at 3B? GEEZ!
Too many walks by the bullpen.
Batters foul off 1ST pitch and then watch a perfect 2ND strike called. Limits the options and often leads to outs.
Too many routine DP balls hit with RISP when a decent fly ball would move or score a runner.
Love the team. Love Jay. But we have more talent than most teams we have played and have struggled at times.
I believe that Jay and staff coach the little things but I really have no evidence of that other than a few trips to practice early in the season. No real inside info to base that on.
Got to start hitting on all cylinders if we are going to get to and challenge for the title in Omaha! Geaux Tigers.
Not whining so dont go there but time for big time players to stop making mistakes that are often avoidable.
Texas cuisine is BBQ and BBQ. You would think with as much Gulf coastline they would have lots of seafood but what they do have is prepared it is in Wisconsin. Heat is miserable in summer with humidity as bad as anywhere in US. Arrogance is the state attitude and pride is it's lifestyle. In spite of the aforestated weather, Dallas weather is the worst. I have been stranded in the Dallas airport (DFW) more times in my life that all other cities I have flown through combined. A summer storm moves in drops 5 inches of rain and causes DFW to shut down for hours and maybe the rest of day..
But the property taxes fund schools that are good and proportionate to the amount of taxes in that ISD. And BTW, Texas makes up for high property taxes with state income tax.
Texas is growing in population as reasonable people realize that Calif. . . well, make normal people want to throw up and gouge their eyeballs out when they see all the liberal foolishness. And the homelessness is not only inexcusable it is an abomination to see that many people without shelter.
Now, your hatred of white evangelicals as a professed Catholic has some deep rooted psychological origins that you should really see a therapist to explore how to work that our. And don't forget, if not for the group that you hate we would all the living in the bizarro world of Kamalaville with all its weird progressive habits, intolerance of other views, psycho property and personal attacks and criminal activity that liberals see as normal and not lawbreaking.
Good luck with you quest to resolve the hatred!
P.S. I dont live in Texas!

THis dude talks like he played 10 years in the Bigs and won two CWS and three WS! He uses more words to say nothing or to say something that is obvious or doesn't make sense. Spent a 1/2 inning comparing the aTm 2nd game started to Ryan Prager, who he obviously idolizes, or has Aggie relations with! He is terrible. Tried to sync The Tiger broadcast to TV but 98.1 skips to current everytime you pause.
You like the "ball 4, ball 5, ball 6. . .) chant. Cults chant stupid shite. Just look at all the old liberals staging protests and chanting about orange man and elon. Laughable!
I agree but I bet Jordan thought as shallow as ball was the LF would go direct to plate and was hoping for an off-line throw. Instead he hit cut off man and SS made a good throw, as all SS's should from the apron.
