Thats with this year's defense. Lets see how we replace 3 of our 4 best defenders in haulcy, delane, Perkins, and hopefully not Whit.


No doubt, he has a tough job ahead of him, but we will be in the third year of his system. He also did pretty damn good in 2024 after taking over the worst defense in P5 and did it without 3 of those 4 mentioned. I don't expect him to bring in a first team AA corner like Dealne, but Pickett will not be a green freshman and we have a lot more recruited depth going into 2026.

The doc only further reveals him as the liar that he’s always been. Al warned everyone looonnnng ago.


Until his fourth year at Ole Miss I was not in favor of hiring Kiffin as a head coach. It was due to the fact, that up until then, he lost his mind at times with some of his in-game decisions, and he practically ignored the defensive side of the ball. You know, football shite? The stuff you consider when hiring a football coach. He has since done a helluva job addressing both issues and was the hottest coach on the market and it wasn't remotely close.

My like/dislike of him has nothing to do with his "lying". Every coach in the country lies. It comes with the job. You lie to the AD (who lies to you). You lie to your assistants about job security. You lie to the media and you lie to the fans. You tell weak kids they are good and tell exceptional kids they aren't cutting it. You tell recruits its all about them. Its part of the damn job. Some of you act like he is the first to do it.

The game was over, and you don’t throw penalties on games that are done. Total hose job by the refs


St Charles had two timeouts left when it happened. Even if he does nothing, they had to snap the ball at least once more. And notice, none of his teammates threw their helmets.

Katy ISD building more high schools.

And in it's day Waterwood National was a beast in Huntsville


Heavily forested and brutally long, especially in the age of balata. It was Champions Cypress without the maintenance and smaller greens.

Same here. But I think 3 and half steps would qualify. Apparently not.

we all heard the criticism from ND fans: he’s reactive as a coach, has trouble winning big games, players don’t like him and don’t want to play hard for him.


The ND fans criticism of Kelly was stupid and non-sensical bullshite and those things listed had nothing to do with why Kelly failed here. He averaged MORE than 10 wins a regular season his last 5 yrs there. If Kelly does that here we are preparing for a playoff run.

Kelly was fired because he DIDNT do what he did at ND which was win 10 games a season.

Not playing Auburn since 2023 is weird too.


At 57, I can remember a time when we didn't play Auburn all that much. We never faced Bo Jackson. The earthquake game was only the third time we had played them in 15 years. Weird to think about with all of the craziness with them the last 30 years.
No, but the overall experience makes it worth it.

Got club seats on the 40. I figured demand was awful.


Great seats with some of the best sightlines of any stadium in the country. And while not a hot ticket, if it is anything like last year, the club level be pretty lively for the game,

SMU very well could finish top 50 NET, making this a Quad 1 win opportunity. Casuals don’t understand how important that is.


I am over simplifying for sure, but it feels like we win and a tourney bid is likely and we lose and its very unlikely. Obviously a ton of basketball left, but we seem to be a classic bubble team at this point.
They lost three games but won a shitty ACC and were a playoff team in 2024

They had the same record we did this year but finished on a four game win streak. Like us. they were a miserable failure at meeting expectations.

Was 2025 the new norm or a one off year for their program? Probably somewhere in between, which means a good but not elite team. Obviously, we should field a better team that took the field in Clemson last year, but regardless, it is going to be a tough game.
Three season ruining injuries in six years will do that.

But I really dislike pappadeauxs


Yeah, and they used to be really solid. We had one that was a quick on/off the freeway near Sugar Land. Wife and I would split a fried crawfish tail salad. Huge with a great remolaude type dressing. They changed the dressing, then changed salad items, then took it off the menu.

Quality overall went way down from what I heard. Its weird as Pappa’s chain has been pretty solid overall. As mentioned, the steakhouse on Westhiemer is outstanding by any measure.

re: Why does ESPN hate LSU so much?

They dont hate anyone. They love controversy/excitement which drives ratings. The Kelly firing and Kiffin hiring qualifies in spades.
We would get Harbaugh.

Both of them.
Have the Big 10 and SEC schools play each other in a challenge weekend each year in home and home series.

Play the game the same weekend in late September for the next ~10 years. Do it by pre-season seeding, previous seasons finish, or blind draw, whatever can be agreed upon. It needs to be done at the conference level and not the team level though to ensure all teams comply.

It would be huge for ratings and solidify the strength of schedule component for each of the conference's teams amongst playoff voters.

The only downside is it punishes Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina for playing an additional power conference game against annual ACC opponents. But frick those teams.

re: Baseball Alumni Game

Posted by Basura Blanco on 12/10/25 at 4:42 pm to
This would be awesome. Do it as a fan fest weekend in conjunction with the final game of fall ball. A lot of the alumni guys that won rings are just living an everyday life. I would imagine you could get a healthy turn out if you set it up as a reunion weekend for them as well.

Play a fans vs older alumni slo-pitch softball game at Tiger Park. Auction off the fan roster spots for NIL. Set up batting cages for the kids, tailgate, show the CWS wins on a big screen in centerfield with fans siting in the outfield one night. Auction off game used equipment/uniforms from the previous year, locker room tours, Maruuci could make some of his little league bats LSU themed and auction them off, hour batting lessons from an LSU player, Go down on the field for batting practice, a ton of opportunity exists here.

This could potentially be a major source of funding for LSU baseball.

The Tac Minor of LSU football.
