I'm no expert, but if in year 4 your entire team's performance goes to shite without 2 players then I don't think you've evaluated talent "well enough." You should have more than enough depth to make a passable effort on the court.

Of course I knew. I saw the thread title and clicked on it solely for the purpose of making the remark in the event that OP actually meant the country, which is always spelled "Colombia" vs one of the many US cities spelled "Columbia."

re: Brothers that have played for LSU

Posted by Wayne Campbell on 2/24/26 at 7:57 pm to Tiger Ryno

Collis III and Garrett Temple.

It was probably really prevalent in earlier years.

But there are a number of brothers, father/sons, and even some 3 generation families.

If you don’t think men’s BB is leaving a ton of money on the table in terms of ticket sales by being below mediocre, then I don’t know what to tell you.

re: Scarborough says basketball staff could be gutted except for McMahon .

His reasoning was firing McMahon and his staff , hiring a new coach and staff plus money for NIL would cost around 30 million dollars and LSU isn’t willing to do that .

The math doesn’t math. If the plan is to gut the staff then they’re already paying buyouts plus new hires. Also, isn’t it a common feature of assistant contracts that buyouts are voided if the head coach is fired? Or is that just football?

One would think they’re paying NIL either way.

And we know McMahon’s buyout is $6.5mil broken out over the remainder of his contract, or in other words he’s getting ~$2.2 mil next year one way or the other.

The only new expense would be another HC salary plus whatever buyout owed to his previous school.

So LSU can’t afford the “$30mil” to fire McMahon, but they can afford the let’s call it $26mil to keep him and fire his assistants.

I don’t know the exact numbers but you have to think some of the 4 million difference would be made up for by increased ticket sales.

Stats are inherently neutral. The bias comes in how they're collected, interpreted, and implemented.

For instance, you're trying to create panic based on a 4 game sample size.

BIlly did his time and turned his life around. Why does receiving a pardon bother you and anyone else. It’s not like he was pardoned while in jail or before he went to jail. He served his time.

You ask why the pardon would bother someone, I ask why did he receive a pardon given everything else in your post. Particularly given that he is deceased. Posthumous pardons should be reserved for the wrongfully convicted.

We love our political grandstanding as long as it's our guy doing it and our guy reaping the benefit. Maybe he'll pardon Harvey Updyke next. Having too much Bama in you shouldn't be an arrestable offense anyway.

re: Pats offense averaged 9 punts/turnovers per game in the playoffs

Posted by Wayne Campbell on 2/9/26 at 3:13 pm to lsupride87

I disagree with just about the whole premise.

Turnovers are generally seen as worse than a punt because they usually kill momentum and/or result in better field position for the opposing team. Punting is a strategic choice.

But yeah, people generally think that punting a whole lot is bad.

Why?

Why would you need to count a punt as half a turnover. Turnovers is a tracked statistic, punts is also a tracked statistic. No need to combine the too.

In short, what is improved by this proposal?

Using the Patriots numbers, you would be saying they turned the ball over 21.5 times in the playoffs. That's convoluted.
