Hardest game ever played? Not even close.

Pretty sure he meant hardest opener.

Season 2 for me. Loved Season 1, but Season 2 was just on another level.

I think everyone needs to internalize that Herb will leave as a free agent. We can’t offer him more money than others and someone will pay him. He doesn’t fit the timeline either. So getting anything for him would be awesome.

Can we all just take a second to laugh at higgsBoson?

That is not exactly right and why I wonder if LSU could pull this off.

First the Moody Center cost 375 million. The Moody Foundation donated 130 million(thus the name Moody Center) and the developer donated the rest (about 65%).

LSU said the developer would provide all the funds.

Remember developers are in business to make money. Since LSU gets ghd revenue for all their events, the developer has to make money from just their events; yet operate and maintain the building on LSU’s property. Austin, Texas is way larger than Baton Rouge and already had a strong music industry. BR doesn’t.

I do not believe a developer can pull it off without major donations from the LSU side.

---

They've also said the developer could go to the City-Parish and ask for a contribution. I'm sure they'll also sell the naming rights just like Moody Center did.

As far as operational costs, I believe that is what that 1 cent sales tax is going to help pay.

I was very suspect on Young Sheldon but I think this might be a bridge too far.

I was too and was late to the game in starting it, but I ended up loving that show. It's not as rewatchable as Big Bang Theory, but it had more heart to it. I'd put it right up there with the original .

Georgie and Mandie is ok. I'd give it a B-.

I'll definitely watch this new show, but I don't have high expectations. I guess the show creators should get the benefit of the doubt at this point though.

Man to think a Snickers wrapper bringing down a security system is the watershed moment in this movie is….something.

Yeah it's not a great sign when you're sitting in a theatre rolling your eyes at the plot within the first 10 minutes of a movie. I'm not one to usually overanalyze a plot while watching the movie for the first time. It's entertainment so I'm going to try to zone out and enjoy it. Couldn't do it this time. The Snickers wrapper and the T-Rex proof raft were just too much :lol:

Like seriously, how did the raft not pop?

We essentially will have our (3) worst contracts on short expiring contracts with Jose/ Hawk/ Looney for a combined $17mil.

:lol: 3 1-year contracts that combined are 11% of the cap are not bad contracts in the least.

Women's basketball isn't losing $8.5M a year. They are still losing money like most sports, but it isn't that high. A portion of media rights is due to women's basketball - just not broken down on a P&L sheet.

Do you thnk women's basketball had a material affect on enrollment at LSU?

By itself - probably not. Maybe with girls it does. The percentage of female students at LSU has gone up each of the last 3 years.

When you have sport after sport winning natties in a short time frame, yes it all helps build the brand and exposure of that brand.

I think he was referring to the exposure that LSU gained as a whole. The free advertising basically. Impossible to put a dollar figure to something like that, but it isn't worthless.

When most of your major sports are doing really well, that typically attracts more students. A bigger pool of students means you can raise your entrance standards and raise the university's standing.
