Coach O reunion???


No, but would there be a reason not to welcome him back as a coordinator/assistant if he and the incoming HC were amenable to it?

I doubt that will happen--I don't think she left there on great terms.


She's a good enough player (2x 1st team All-ACC, honorable mention All-America) as to where *maybe* Louisville's head coach (Coach Walz) could get past it and look to bring her back? If I was him I'd at least consider it, regardless of how she left.

Best of luck to her! Semi-disappointing how it ended (Elite Eight is still a good accomplishment all things considered) but she accomplished a lot and even brought us a natty in her short time here. So her time here was without question a success, even with all the controversy...

That’s not it. They are flat out better and would probably beat us 4 out of 5 games.


Nah, it's close to a 50/50 matchup as reflected in the betting odds. Think LSU probably even has the better players overall... but Iowa does have the best player who shot lights out last night (and they still only won by 7).

Well it could be that the article was never intended to be "negative" (as Kim and others assumed it would be) in the first place. There was certainly SOME negative stuff in there, but definitely a lot of positive stuff in there as well. It didn't come across to me as a hit piece.

Personally thought it was a well-written, interesting profile, even if it did re-hash some stuff most of us already knew. But most of us probably didn't have the background about her father and sister... that background (especially with her father) seems to have at least in part shaped who Kim is today and I thought the article did a good job articulating that.

Not saying the article was some masterpiece or anything like that but I found it worth the read...
Cool story, thanks. Completely unrelated to LSU or football but reminds me of a random encounter I had at a grocery store in Louisville 20+ years ago. Was shopping at a Kroger (grocery store) in Louisville and had some random basketball-related t-shirt on. An older lady walks by and asks me to grab something from one of the top shelves in an aisle we were in because she was short and couldn't reach. After I grab the item for her, she asks me if I know who Matt Harpring is. I'm like "yeah, he was a great basketball player at Georgia Tech" (which is where he played college basketball and ended up being one of their all-time greats there, though he was in the NBA with the Utah Jazz at the time).

She then tells me that she's Matt's aunt and then chats me up for a few minutes about Matt and how he has a bunch of family in that general area.

Not the most interesting story but was kinda similar to your experience and was also completely random LOL...
If Kayshon had bet against LSU in any of those accounts, it 100% would have been highlighted in the affidavit. That's definitely something Louisiana State Police would've rushed to point out.

It was amusing to me the way the affidavit was worded - pointing out the hundreds of thousands he "won" even though he clearly lost a lot more than he won based on his starting and ending balances. The numbers there are a bit misleading - his average amount per bet wasn't all that high it doesn't look like.
The alleged incident happened two years ago. I tend to believe the accusation (primarily from the standpoint that MOST accusers are telling the truth) but not seeing that there would be enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt here, unless maybe others come forward. Proof that Mingo bought these kids a bunch of gifts doesn't amount to proof that he sexually assaulted one of them...
