Not saying he hasnt....but no reason to think he has either. Hey, I am all for turning your life around....if you are serious about doing it.

if he truly turned it around, he’d have been picked up by a major program.

Sadly, it’s very hard to beat schizophrenia. That’s what his issue is, from a friend of mine whose son knows Arik.

quote:

I mean he was undrafted.

I'll eat crow and admit that I didn't think he'd make it in the NBA.

Not because he wasn't talented - he clearly had tons of talent. But it was because he either had poor balance or was physically weak - he seemed to get pushed around and was knocked to the floor every game, which was bizarre to see for a guy his size.

So I thought he'd just get physically bullied in the NBA.

But he's clearly corrected whatever the issue was and has had a very good career so far, and I'm glad to eat crow on this one. It was easy to like Naz.

Ed Orgeron got a raise and an extension for it.

which was absurd, because the (ridiculous) reason for hiring O in the beginning was that we'd pay him less and spend more on assistants.

But that quickly got forgotten and we paid O a stupid amount of money.

The whole thing was nonsense from the start.

Kirby inherited a pipeline of talent that Ga. squandered for years.

yes, and kept it going at even a higher level.

We were ahead of UGA. If we had a coach who was ambitious, we would have stayed ahead of UGA and won 2+ more titles. Instead, we cratered.

---

but O never built a program - he had one monster year with Burrow and Brady. Yes, O gets credit for brining them here, but it's not like O was building a program, he kind of lucked out with Burrow. Remember, in spring on 2018, Burrow wasn't a highly sought after transfer.

Remember O also had all that offensive talent on the 2018 roster and did little with it, under Ensminger.

Kirby built a program.

Anybody excited to see Van Lith reunite with Angel girl?

absolutely no one cares about the WNBA.

Now you can't be Democrat and support LSU?!? MAGA wants to cancel everyone!

no, of course Democrats support LSU and that's a good thing.

But it's fairly well understood by many folks, both on the left and the right, that James Carville is an odd bird and a bit of a kook.

quote:

---

But I'm sure they can force the university to only play night games. And walk away from all of the revenue that comes from getting a day slot.

---

I also generally hate gov't getting involved, but I think it's legit for a state legislature to prohibit a state university from playing day games, if they think it's a safety issue.

But they should realize that TV controls the kickoff times. If there was no TV, all games would be night games, just like when I was a kid in the 1970s.

So LA can pass this bill, but they should realize the SEC (and LSU) risk losing TV revenue when the TV networks react.

Any WNBA draft parties going on in BR?

surely you can't be serious

We need more mental health resources.

blaming this on "mental health" is misplaced. There's no indication that he suffered from depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc.

He was a guy who just make very bad, reckless decisions.

That's not at all the same as mental illness.
