Just goes to show you how much PROFIT those NON-PROFITS make. People do not realize the only difference between a non profit and profit hospital is the non-profits don't pay property taxes.
You do realize they have a foundation that’s solely funded by grants, private donors, and investments, right?

2011 Oregon, at least on paper, was massive
That was the first game that came to mind for me too, but that was a neutral field at least. A true away game like this probably beats it.
The other game that came to mind was at Virginia Tech in 2002.
re: Did you prefer season 1 or season 2 of Andor?
Posted by Mickey Goldmill on 7/11/25 at 8:49 am
Season 2 for me. Loved Season 1, but Season 2 was just on another level.

As of now, DCs know that JD5 is no passing threat. They will plan accordingly. I think he will have a worse year in 23.

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?

And they didn’t sell the naming rights, the Moody Foundation donated 35% of the money needed to help the University get their new arena.
Tomato/tomahto. Get a donation from someone and they get the building named after them.

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.

10-30 hes gone
I don't think he lasts 40 games if that's his record at that point.
Imo, he has a VERY short leash to start this season. Especially since it seems we will have Borrego ready to fill in.
10-20 he's gone. Basically if he's under .400 after 25 or 30 games, he's out.

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.

First movie to come to mind for me. If that ending doesn't make you feel things you may not have a soul.
Alpha Dog ending was one I had forgotten, but that's one that kinda sticks with you afterwards. So tough.

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?

You must have missed the previous 5 movies.
Lost World: Jeff Goldblum, decent plot, emotional attachment to characters, great cast.
3: Dr. Grant, a little Dr. Sattler, good cast overall
Jurassic World: Good cast, perfect use of nostalgia, good plot.
Fallen Kingdom: decent plot, stuff actually happened that mattered in the world
Dominion: Old cast is back so at least I cared about those 3, decent action scenes
Rebirth:....I got nothing.

re: WBB has to make more revenue or cut expenses
Posted by Mickey Goldmill on 7/7/25 at 1:07 pm
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.
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.
