re: LSU's ERA

We don't have a 1-2 like that this year, and likely will not for years to come. They basically carried a solid not spectacular team to a title.

We do have 5-6 guys vying for the weekend starter roles and all are solid. Its early but I feel we will have a better overall staff this year than last. How that transfers to post-season success is up for debate, and really all that matters.

I think Rizy fits this role more, but Sheerin has the fire on the mound


I believe he has the most upside of anyone on the staff.
What Sheerin just did, in the situation he was put in, will be more important to LSU than the outcome of this game.
And a catcher blocking the plate with a runner with his shoulder lowered barreling down on him.

We used to be a proper country.

Definitely the juggernaut at UCLA.

We would be a stepping stone like Ole Miss.


All of what you said is true up to this point. Dinardo could be starting his 31st season as LSU head coach this fall, and we would still be more relevant than Ole Miss.
Wait until you learn how much this staff/batting order sucks and that we have to win out to host a super and be lucky to make one. This will be fact with two SEC series remaining.
It was pretty bad. The Yankess played a spring training game there in the early 80's. I believe it was ~310 down each line and over 420 to center.

I was doing some crap around the house and popped in occasionally to peak at the audio stream box score. I saw that Simpson, Curiel, and Brown were in the outfield and was thinking damn, where do you put Braun? And Pearson? Hell, even Harden hit the ball hard in the scrimmages and just looks like a player.

Completely forgot about Stanfield, the heart and soul of the team, with all of the wealth. What a great problem to have.
Somewhat off-topic here, but not recognizing the growth explosion (by Louisiana standards) of Ascension Parish that was apparent in the mid-90's, is the root of these issues.

There should have been long term plans at that time to deal with flood control, convert Airline into a limited access freeway and/or widen major surface streets and funnel more traffic onto I-10. The fact you have a suburban parish the size of Ascension with only one means of freeway access between Highland Road and Hwy 30 is asinine. What's more mind boggling is you have numerous surface streets along that stretch that cross over/under I-10 with no freeway access.

Jay Johnson shouldn’t retire until he has beaten the GOAT and brings home 6 titles.


He is 47. While I don't think a national title every other year is a reasonable expectation, with the current state of college baseball and this program, it would be very reasonable to expect 2-3 CWS appearances and one national title every 5 years.

He has basically done this already in his 10 yrs at Arizona and LSU. If he continues on this track, it would bring him up to 6 titles by age 67. Assuming the sport remains somewhat regional, and parity doesn't become a thing, this is very doable for this coach and this program.

Gonzales Flag


Why the frick does Gonzales need a flag? Are they planning to invade Sorrento?

Or is it just Lane being Lane and he will roll the dice even if he has a great defense behind his offense?


This. Lane has shown improvement at limiting his overly aggressive in-game decisions, but it his definitely his biggest weakness as a coach imo. It almost cost him the OU game this year.

They had solid long form articles for awhile. The thing Sports Illustrated and Inside Sports magazine used to excel at. It was a breath of fresh air and worth the subscription cost. They went more clickbait the last few years but do occasionally have a solid writeup.
quote:

But for fricks sake, ejecting the player is the dumbest thing they could possibly do and it really needs to change.


This times a thousand. There is no other sport that ejects a player for an on field, game action play without there being a blatant level of intent. A pitcher can unleash a 100 mph fastball into a hitters face, and unless there has been a warning, or a previous incident, he isn't tossed. An NFL player can take two steps after the ball is released and plant a QB with helmet to helmet contact and stay in the game.

I am not a big fan of unionizing players, but there is no way in hell the ejection policy would exist if they had one.

bro you used a picture of Drake Nevis and then a picture of Mekhi Wingo lmao


Huh, The google photo links the 24/7 site and identifies him as Nevis. But you are right. Nevis never played in a cheez it bowl.

Drake forcing that fumble late in the game on McElroy against Bama in 2010


Nevis and Joe Addai. Give me 22 of them and we win the Super Bowl, the Grey Cup, the Iditarod, a massive bar fight at Freds and wrap up that one weekend with a massive family picnic.
He is one WIDE individual. LSU has him listed at 6'2 295. While at LSU, Nevis was listed at 6'2 285.

I want to see him hit a piss missle onto Nicholson wearing a #92 jersey with a neck roll.















I caught a few minutes of a pre-game show Sunday and Rex Ryan was on a soapbox for Belichick, screaming the Bills are idiots for not interviewing him. I thought he was talking about Harbaugh until I heard Belichick. Now I think he was drunk.

Belichick is 73 yrs old and has had one winning season as a coach since covid. And has fielded progressively worse teams since.
The best run of LSU basketball was 1979-1981. And it isnt even close.

Rudy Macklin, Ethan Martin, Greg Cook, Howard Carter, Willie Sims and Jordy Hultberg all played 4 years. Lionel Green, Al Green and even Dwayne Scales (the most talented player LSU had in the stretch between Maravich and Chris Jackson) stayed for two plus years.

A sweet 16, an elite 8, and a final four, with all tournament losses to the eventual national champion. 35-9 over that stretch in SEC games.

As a12 yr old kid, I wanted to be Al Green so damn bad, I ditched the two wristband Dewayne Scales look, to the single wristband style of Al Green.

Best home schedule of big games in a very long time. I would say 9-3 maybe 10-2 if we can get the O-line to gel and run the ball.

But, frick actual football talk, this cesspool thrives on shite stirring so to feed the troll, we will win in Oxford, Ole Miss will begin its return to being Ole Miss, and IF we can survive the November gauntlet and make the playoffs, we will make the semi-finals.
