re: Do you reuse your towels?

I use the same towel all week, sometimes longer. When it starts to get hard, I get a new one
My opinion of basketball is absolutely jaded in a negative way because of our program. But basketball to me requires the least strategy/scheming/planning of all the sports and is why I don’t really enjoy it.This is overly simplistic….Shoot it, sometimes it goes in, sometimes it doesn’t.

If LSU is playing, of course I want to win and be good, but I’m just not a basketball fan. The sport at all levels just doesn’t have much appeal to me.

All that said, if LSU had a winning program, I’d be watching and rooting for the Tigers. But if we stink, it’s really really easy to not a give a F about the program. I’ve been through periods of stink in our other programs and am never as apathetic towards those programs when we’re not good.

re: 9 game schedule is a win for Sec.

There’s no doubt it creates more intriguing/good matchups and will make the next SEC TV contract an enormous amount of money

My only issue with the 9-game conference schedule is that the average SEC strength of schedule was already tougher than other conferences with an SEC 8-game slate. So going to 9 was unnecessary from a relative SOS point of view.

Breaking news: LSU men’s basketball program is in bad shape right now.
I know Golding contacted this particular player directly, but I’m curious and don’t know the answer… is it legal to contact a player’s agent if the player is not in the portal?

Jan. 5: Ferrelli showed up to Clemson for his official visit. Swinney said this is when he first met the soon-to-be third-year linebacker.

Swinney explained that Ferrelli and his dad were coming off a portal visit to Ole Miss. "I said, 'How was the visit?'" Swinney recounted Friday. "And his dad said, 'Not good.' He said it was a mess, it was unorganized, it was chaos. The building was a mess. Nobody knew what was going on. And I was like, 'Well, I look forward to y'all seeing Clemson tomorrow.'"

Do you have a link to that quote? I hadn’t seen that…. lol wow

Remember when Dabo tattled on us?

Before the first game at Clemson, he got an LSU player (Haulcey) suspended for the first half of the game.

He’s at it again…. But this time he’s big mad at Ole Miss/Pete Golding/Austin Thomas. Video below is kind of crazy, don’t often see a HC do this kind of a presser. From an LSU perspective, kind of interesting to watch this play out:

Mark Emmert was pretty well known I think, but yeah I couldn’t name the current pres without googling

And maybe emmert wasn’t that well known, Maybe I just knew him because of his LSU ties :dunno: (Emmert was LSU chancellor when I was in school and hired Saban, so I was very familiar with him). Either way, it definitely seemed like Emmert was more prominent and visible and in the media than whoever the current guy is

You said so yourself… “the only rankings that matter”

LSU now #1 in “the only rankings that matter.”
He’s talking about overall (HS recruiting + transfer)

At the top on the right you can click the dropdown for the 3 rankings (overall/recruit/transfer)

Recruit = HS recruiting class
Transfer = transfer portal class
Overall = HS + transfers

Random unrelated comment…. But one of my most-recurring dreams about school is forgetting to drop a class before the deadline to get a W.

Even though it never happened in real life to me, for some reason I dream about it frequently
