There was literally a Vandy football player in the same court room during the injunction hearing Thursday.

ESPN is about rake in a gazillion dollars off LSU on Saturday. This will be discussed and debated nonstop to drum up ratings.

It’s going to be hilarious to watch LSU bend the knee after all the chest thumping from the fanbase


How exactly is consistently saying you’ll abide by the rules bending the knee?

The reality is this has way more to do with greedy agents and lawyers than it does LSU or any other school. Sure, Kiffin is going to push the boundaries, but he’s always done that and WAY before his time at LSU.

That 2025 offensive line should face criminal charges.


Brian Kelly should face criminal charges for the scam he pulled on LSU.
Toss dive to Jones for a 75 yard TD
I’ll still be in Tiger Stadium, I’ll still celebrate when this kid scores a TD or makes a big play. I’ll still enjoy every second of his time on the field. But this is a major blow to college athletics. A young man signed a pro contract, went through OTAs and, while he didn’t play, dressed for a professional pre-season game.

This is no longer amateur athletics. There is no more pride for the school you choose (ala JD1+4). It’s nothing but dollars and how much the schools can pay these kids. Nothing more.
I call bull shite.

3 extremely athletic QBs on the roster already.

Let’s just say, for arguments sake, LSU actually wanted a niche QB to come in a handful of times and just run the ball. They’d just install run plays with Clark and be done with it.
The reality of today’s college baseball is…. If you aren’t going to compete immediately for starting spot, go to JUCO and start.

Aint no way thats real


It’s real in the sense they’re trying to force the WNBA to acknowledge that biological men don’t belong in women’s sports.
quote:

If it is major donors doing this, does that basically mean they will only now give money to LSU through a PE deal from now on?


No. What it would mean is TAF, presumably under some guidance, would have the ability to invest outside of university to generate revenue. That way a donation isn’t just a tax write off. It would allow major donors to “invest”, potentially getting a tax write off AND additional income.

I should say I have zero insider information here. This is complete speculation on my part. I just can’t see any other scenario that makes senses. And if PE is being “reported”, that route makes way more sense to me.
quote:

private equity screws up pretty much everything it touches


Not always true. Also, “private equity” is extremely vague in this context. The top donors in the network were invited to the governor’s mansion. They weren’t invited for there to be an announcement that some random PE firm came in. My guess is TAF is becoming a PE firm with the financial backing of major donors. Makes WAY more sense than some PE firm coming in and “buying” LSU athletics.

Why go to juco? Just to be draft eligible next year?


Yep. Not saying it’s the right move, but if the kid truly believes he can put up similar numbers in juco and improve his draft slot, it would make sense.

Assuming he doesn’t sign with Cleveland, still not a sure thing he ends up at LSU. Smoke regarding him potentially going juco for a year to reenter the draft in 27.
quote:

Someone high up at TAF told me the largest donor was someone who didn’t go to LSU


There’s a few people it could be. Gary Chouest (Edison Chouest Offshore), for example, went to Nicholls. My money is its Graves though.
My gut tells me it’s equity stake in TAF. Could also be investment related where TAF invests dollars like a PE or venture capital firm.

re: Hot take on Jay

Posted by ibleedprplngld on 5/18/26 at 6:14 pm to
If we were to believe tRant, Jay Johnson isn’t a good coach despite having won 2 CWS championships in 3 years.

frick you tards can be spoiled little bitches sometimes. It’s an off year. 0 portal guys panned out. In this day and age of collegiate athletics, that’s going to happen. You’re literally building a new roster every season.
Passed balls is the most damning stat for this team. It also seems to ALWAYS lead to a run. It’s fricking maddening how many times that shite happens.

This team isn’t good enough to have the base ball gods hate them. It’s a really shitty combination of poor play and ZERO breaks.
I think it has become apparent that his soul focus was spending as much as possible to bring in big name coaches regardless of whether or not they fit the culture of LSU. BK and MM were respected names and big time hires in the moment. But it feels like there was zero thought put into their hiring, just flashy. Gotta give him credit for JJ though. Something about blind squirrels and nuts or whatever.

STFU


Why?

Nothing he said is incorrect. Kid got kicked out of 2 games last year and was benched for another. Can't makes grades and has a piss poor attitude.

Elite talent? Absolutely. No debating that. But that kid needs to get his shite together in the class room and get his attitude straight or he'll end up wasting every ounce of it.
We go through this same type discussion on the board every year.

Baseball is not football. It’s legitimately possible for any team to beat any other on a given day. Losing to small schools, especially early on in the season, is not something to be concerned about. Really losing any mid-week game shouldn’t be a concern unless it’s habitual.
