If he couldn't get opportunities when Pearson was hurt and we were looking for literally anyone to pick up a glove and stand at 3rd base, I have a hard time believe he feels like his future is here.



Ya that's why I have incoming freshman listed next to him...we have some stout HS short stops coming.

They were essentially the only two good players on the field for LSU. Losing Brown hurt them and Cerna. Johnson has a major rebuild for next year.



I don't understand why you think we are in a major rebuild...a lot of the replacements for these guys had decent playing time this year. They just need to pan out. You really just need to find a 2B whether on roster or not, and another OF.

C - Cade/Serna
1B - Serna/Braun
2B - Clauss or best incoming SS Freshman
SS - Ruckert
3B - Pearson or another incoming Freshman
RF - Harden/Braun
CF - Patrick
LF - Harden/Freshman

Harden is the only one that didn't get "alot" of reps this year but looked like it could be there. The problem with next year without a few hits on transfers is depth. The current team is upper classmen heavy.

It'll be a Paxton / Roy vote for me. Mayes' SB 854 proved he's either too dense to be an AG or just a pure dumbass...either one I'm not a fan of.

I want a bulldog for AG cause Texas needs someone with a spine to go after the issues in Texas. Paxton got soft after his impeachment even though it failed miserably. He got his appeals judges in to go after voter fraud and hasn't done anything with it. We have a serious H1B issue that an AG can you go after business for fraud, but nothing has happened there cause Abbott is too involved. We need a separation of Governor/AG if Patrick and Roy go closer we could root a lot of issues out like H1B, illegals and everything that goes with them, voter fraud in Houston, Dallas, etc.

With the amount of talent we've produced at pitcher...one bad year and thats it huh.
Considering we won the NC last year in Baseball, I will say Football which hasn't done shite in 7 years.
Chip is talking about SB 854. It was a bill Middleton authored that restricted zoning and regulatory laws over mutli-family housing on religious organization owned land. Mayes has been otherwise outspoken against Islamification and Sharia Law. He's a rep of Brazoria/Harris/Galveston counties so no direct affiliation with what is going on in Dallas and EPIC City as far as I know.

SB854 was meant to be something for all religions but since Christian/Jewish organizations in Texas don't build a lot of multi-family complexes on their land...this was portrayed as Islam-sensitive because of the huge problem Texas has with it.

He was pretty stupid IMO for bringing this to the floor at this time. I HIGHLY doubt any christian/jewish organizations came to him pushing this as this is not the big of an issue in Texas...or he is so dense that he didn't think about what something like SB854 would portray with an obvious Islam issue in North Texas.

Whoever is gonna break the H1B Visa scams and get rid of the massive amount of illegal Indians and Latin American's is getting my vote.
I think he takes a big step back in portal acquisitions...contrary to what the sky-screamers in other threads think...him and Yeskie can develop kids. I think they changed a lot of coaching from previous years assuming these kids had the talent and understanding that they didn't need to focus on development so much. I think with NIL, he will focus more on high level HS kids that are coming in and getting them to stay for a few years at LSU.

I think Tanks and Skenes might have spoiled him and us for a bit because we all thought this was normal-ish...hitting on transfers.

I think he gets back into his West Coast baseball roots as well and stops looking for kids with HR totals and more OBP.

I don't think Pitching philosphy and recruiting changes...we always look for hard throwing, strike throwers....I think some of these trasnfer pitchers again didn't pan out.

I also think this team has straight up given up on the season. I can see how a bunch of high self-value, NIL queens would give up after knowing this is not a deep postseason team.
Didn't hit on transfers...i'm finding the transfer game in baseball can be a crap shoot unless your signing from within the SEC. Even Carroway didn't pan out coming from the PAC. We had a diamond with Tommy White but who else really has panned out. Stanfield came from within conference and has been good...thats my example of intra conference transfer. I think SEC is too dominant and is hard to compare to other conferences.
Cade Arambide as the #1 HS catcher in the country and Omar Serna as the #4 catcher in the country isn't good evaluation.

I don't know with some of y'all.

Jay is 2-4 IN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS at LSU, not making the SEC Tournament, not making the NCAA tournament, not even making Omaha. National F'N Champions.

These kids are paid more than minor leaguers...they can be thrown under the bus at this point if they suck one year to the next.
I'll be interested in checking one out when it hits BassPro or one of the local gunshops. I had a VP9SK but it was too big and sharp to carry. I recently picked up a G43x that is a lot easier to carry, but I'm looking to get something to have a dedicated truck gun and something to carry. Plus HK makes very nice stuff. I enjoyed shooting the VP9SK and the fit and finish is top of the line in my opinion cause I hate sig products...personally.
That was just a convenient excuse for Arrambide...he hasn't caught well all year.
You just can't convince me something isn't sketchy about Kent, he's coming off as a Crenshaw 2.0. You were gung-ho for so long in your anti-Iran rhetoric and then all of sudden when 50 years in the making finally comes to fruition you bail saying they didn't pose a threat.

Well 440kg of 60% enriched uranium as reported by the IAEA proved your assessment false and the fact that just a few days ago they launched two IRBMs at Diego Garcia provided your assessment even further to be false. The fact that he has been proven wrong on two enormous facets of Iran makes me think he's fake MAGA or a deep state plant.

Shawn is swinging that way as well. I don't mind that he had Cocaine Biden and Gavin on his show, but they fact that he just let them sit there and lie to his face about everything and tell their story with no rebuttal with evidence to the contrary make me think he's so anti-government that he just wants to let the world burn. Rogan will call you our on your bullshite to your face. I personally haven't watched a SRS in a couple of months for this reason. After watching some of the Newsome episode and then a few weeks later with Hunter...I decided I was out.
We'll still be going back once the girls get a little older and they can handle a few hours...but we only go for the animals. Before the youngest was born we would take the older there...be in by 830-9am...walk the convention area see a mutton bustin event...hit the horses on the other side and be gone by 11-noon. Never any real issues if that's your plan.

I think Toth being ahead of Crenshaw is probably the most shocking of the House votes so far.

I'm wondering WTF is going on in TX-23? Are they seriously just voting cause one is blatant hispanic and one is white. Even if the hispanic had is assistant set herself on fire. Really want Herrera coming out of there.

I'm in 38 and never saw one Jon Bonck sign and he's wiping the floor with everyone. I'm glad for that cause I didn't want Pratt in. Didn't like him Tomball ISD and definitely thought he would be a dud.

I really don't understand why Hunt just fell off in his Senate run. Did Cornyn really buy all these votes or are the boomers just sticking with their career POS politician? As much flak as Paxton caught as AG, I don't understand how he got the votes at all...but at this point anyone in red is better than Cornyn
Cornyn is gone...both Paxton and Hunt are polling better

Hunt will be getting my vote. Paxton I can take or leave...him and Abbott haven't really done shite for Texas IMO.

I would like to roll Chambers (Gov), Patrick (LT) and Middleton (AG) but this Abbott is rolling and POS Chip Roy looks to have a good grip on AG right now
If you live on the Northeast side of Houston, you need to try Han's. They are currently parked at the Frio Grill on Mueschke.

Better than any crawfish I've eaten in Louisiana growing up. Basically the same Louisiana boil with all your typical fixings but adding butter into the boil along with minced garlic...my goodness.

Dusting is a pure Lafayette thing. I have never seen a batch of dusted crawfish in 26 years living in Houston at a restaurant or private boil.


But this is so true...i haven't run into dusting in Houston yet, the only place i've ever had it was at Crawfish time in Lafayette on Verot School

Serna is Yuge

Makes Travinski look small...nice seeing some bigger guys on the team. Still have thoughts from all the skinny's on the Mainieri teams.

Most online stuff says its sweet gas wells...spent most of time frac'ing wells in the Eagle Ford but I did venture up to OK once but no real experience.

My personal best guess with that level of pressure is they were working over a disposal well, probably descaling and couldn't handle the pressure. Could have been a single ram BOP being that short and got blown out because those wells can easily being north of a couple 1000psi
