I really wish the courts would just allow college sports to go back to being college sports.

That ship has sailed. It had its time and place in the history of the sport, but Justice Kavanaugh very eloquently put it, "Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate," he wrote. "And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different."

Not paying players for work in a for-profit sport is the most un-American concept still alive today.

No one should ever be as fricking stupid as you.

If you think voting matters at this point, you really are naive. FWIW, no I didn't vote for her. If you think Trump is a competent administrator you're just another MAGA cultist without a shred of logic or objective thought. The world needs useful idiots though, keep building that resume.
I'm as big a free speech advocate you'll find anywhere on this site, and I'm no fan of Trump nor did I serve in the military. All that being said, it's no different than disrespecting your boss at work. The military doesn't deal in black and red ink, they deal in valor and sacrifice with very real consequences when things aren't working in the chain of command. This is 100% warranted.

And FWIW I agree with him. Trump should be shown the door for gross negligence.
This was discussed ad nauseum among boosters and this was exactly the thinking. CFB is basically the wild west with some loosely-enforced rules now and we were losing to Ole Miss; a team we outspend year over year in every respect because they had a staff that was pushing the limits of the framework. Now with the appropriate resources and the correct mentality from top to bottom, it's time to run the table.

In 10 years CFB will basically become a structured minor league with college logos, branding, players union(s) and salary caps. Until then, let's hope we can capitalize.

The fans who give af about the game are being priced out. I can’t tell you how many people I see come take pictures, stay a quarter or two and leave. These tickets are not cheap whatsoever. The Arkansas game in 2023 we won by a last second field goal as time was expiring and the stadium was half full, just one anecdotal example.

Biggest problem in college (and pro) sports in my opinion.
LSU should issue a cease and desist to him, stating he cannot us LSU's brand or any LSU imagery in any marketing. Just to be petty. I hoped it was just a mistake and he would come around; now it's obvious he's simply tiger bait and he can frick right on off.

1. We have the better roster top to bottom
2. We have the better HC
3. We have the better coordinators
4. It’s 2026, not 2025

The roster is largely unproven. The staff hasn't done anything in Baton Rouge yet (with the exception of Blake Baker). It's an away game. I would have been shocked if we were favored.

Empire Total War and the original Rome Total War were my favorites. I did not like the Shogun remake personally.

Neither Republicans or democrats are doing anything to stop it. We are being scammed.

It's just political theater designed around funneling public dollars, nothing more. We're seeing the nepotistic, non-competitive human centipede show itself in the defense sector to the point we won't win another modern war. Capitalism without innovation is stagnation.

Expectations are pretty low tbh.

Glad to see someone else that didn't like it. I felt like they did too much mental gymnastics to make the story more than it should be. The whole military operation part was plain stupid to me. I did like the daughter of Pennywise plot though, that part could have been so much more.

They boomed during their widest times. I bought right before that. I saw its value drop in my portfolio the other day and was looking in the history for a split or spinoff or something.

Everything is being copied and manufactured in China. Nike thrived from offshoring, now those companies are being eaten by the animals they fed for decades. Good riddance in my opinion.

I'm not surprised.

Part of the reason they are in the Baltic is that he can't keep them in the Black Sea or the Sea of Azov anymore, lest they spring a massive leak and join the submarine fleet as so much of his navy has.

The Black Sea fleet has been locked inside of the Black Sea since they invaded Ukraine, which is why they've been such excellent target practice. Turkey owns the Dardenelles and they close them to countries in a state of war.

Interesting fact. Sevastapol in Crimea has been their headquarters since the 1600s, but they had to move their ships to Novorossiysk to escape the drones. They aren't even safe there anymore.

The United States has to catch up fast in drone warfare, or else our huge navy will become nothing more than expensive target practice in a war with China.
Only card he has left to play is to pull the West down with him. When they get pushed back he threatens nuclear war in an effort to get better terms. Going to get a lot uglier.

Pretty on-brand for third worlders. Blame the British who haven’t been in your country since 1945 for the fact that you have open high voltage electrical on every street corner and 50 people get run over by trains daily.

I don't know about that. Britain was extremely effective at extracting wealth, they evolved to use international corporations and puppet dictators to extract maximum wealth with lower risk (see what happened in Persia and BP). If you have something they want, they found a way to get it.

The US wasn't much better with their actions in Central America and the propping up of countless dictators to extract cheap luxury food items (bananas and coffee especially).

These actions by large empires have bred all of the "extremist regimes" in just about every hotbed in the world.

A promise was made prior to Kiffin arriving and he kept the promise, your take is incredibly stupid.

How funny would it be for him to outshine Daniels and end up having #5 retired under his own accomplishments?

All that being said, I hope JD5 comes to his senses and mends the fence he tore down. Going to be a long road before that can happen though.
