PP7 for heisman

To be clear Mader wasn't ruled ineligible. Goodman reported that it would be an uphill battle and he was staying in Israel.

Some dumb CBB aggregator account extrapolated the nuanced statement by saying: BREAKING - MADER INELIGIBLE.

Can you just frick off? You seem miserable and this place cannot be good for your mental or physical health.

I do enjoy when they have a player or coach on, but how their A/V isn't better blows my mind.

I have to get on zoom occasionally for work (like maybe twice a month) and I spent $200 on a mic and camera for my PC so I wouldn't have to use my laptop.

Both Mikie and Jared, even when they're in studio, sound significantly worse than I do when I'm on a zoom call in my house.

1-Are some of the non-box or VIP seats actually under an overhang, so you might be sheltered from rain or the sun? It looks like this might be the case.

---

Stadium club is. Pretty much the entire west side will be in the shade at kick off.

quote:

---

2-I have wondered if the VIP seats I am looking at are maybe too high up or perhaps it is better to be down near the field. Are all of these covered? It looks like they might be open air but covered.

---

They're high, but it's still a great view.

quote:

---

3-Can you be too low to see the field well, for instance, in the first few row?

---

Definitely. Can't see anything in the first 5 or so rows. I'd be 20 rows up if i had my pick.

quote:

---

4-Are there any venues near the field or on the field that a visitor should see?

---

Tons. You can search around this board or just google "visiting for game tigerdroppings" and find them. Too many to put here.

quote:

---

5-Are there any areas you would advise us to avoid that we might accidentally wander into?

---

Don't venture too far down Highland road on the north side of the exterior of campus. Otherwise you'll be fine.

---

Realistically, they might all suck and all of this was a waste of time,

---

The "super toolsy OF recruit who slipped through the draft" type player was ruined for me by Mo Hampton, so I'm always cautiously optimistic about them.

Luckily Washington's swing doesn't look like the abomination that was Mo Hampton's, and Sean Ochinko won't be telling him what changes to make.

---

OMG - move on to football

frick off. Some people can pay attention to multiple things at once. The draft finished yesterday.

quote:

---

Easy to say this when one has promise before stepping on the field and one turned in one of the worst LSU baseball seasons in the modern era.

---

It has promise because it signed the best position player in the portal, the best pitcher in the portal, multiple guys who have performed well in the ACC, SEC and B1G, and not reliant on post draft 5th year guys.

You also have multiple multi year guys, multiple top 100 players in MLB scouts eyes, and the best signing class in Jay's tenure.

You also return Steven Milam, Cade Arrambide, Omar Serna, and Mason Braun, as well as a bunch of pitchers who have shown the ability to perform at the most important moments the sport has to offer.

You don't have to trick yourself into belieivng Zach Yorke will change his approach and hit 25 HR, or that Brayden Simpson will suddenly not strike out 30% of the time, or that Seth Dardar is going to play harder because he's from LA, or that John Pearson takes the next step.

You enter the season with 9 guys who have proven to be successful at the highest level of the sport in the lineup.

The talent between the 26 roster and 27 roster is not comparable at all.

Yet Adam's preseason preview mentioned this team being more offensively talented than 2025's team.

---

big fan of what Adam does. He’s not a scout.

quote:

---

Doesn't matter the sport, doesn't matter the year, LSU fans will always say their team is "most talented" all offseason.

---

if that’s what you want to take after looking at the two rosters on paper, I’ve got nothing for you.

Dax Dathe signed with the Blue Jays.

quote:

---

Talent alone does not make a championship team.

---

It certainly helps. Next years team will be leaps and bounds more talented than last years team.

The 2026 team was the least talented of the Jay era, and that was compounded by injuries.

It's been reported that Murphy wanted to sign. I won't pretend to know how much the Nationals can sign him for, but he likely takes a few hundred thousand and begins his professional career.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as he was always a guy that will need reps to reach his true potential. He wouldn't get those as a freshman at LSU.
