Its legitimately the same thing that could happen with all the transfers on the LSU football team this coming season.
In fairness, there are way too many variables when it comes to baseball, than football, and in spite of what the Rant says, Kiffin is very good at evaluating talent for football, so I suspect LSU will be ok in football. That said, it will also depend on if the players will buy in on Kiffin's culture and philosophy in the first year. I would expect bigger things in year two or three from LSU, with probably a bit of an uptick in year one.

Florida pitching looking really good against Georgia. Your starters are holding us down very well. I hope we can get to your starter a bit earlier today, but Florida starting pitching is looking really, really good.

A little time to kill in ATL. The College HOF worth a visit?
I loved it. Spent 30 or so minutes looking over the helmet wall and trying to pick out one they missed. (Didn't see any they missed) Then they have several uniform items from players of the past. Some really good film of some games. And then information wall of your favorite players.
One highlight we saw, was an old Florida QB, Terry LeCount was working there, and he took time out to talk and pose fro pictures with my group. (We had a big Florida fan in our group) So, meeting him and talking to him was pretty interesting.
I thought it was well worth the price of admission and highly recommend it.

:lol: You think those are the only advances that were made possible by the space program?
memory foam, scratch-resistant lenses, CAT scanners, LEDs, ear thermometers, and the portable computer, Water filtration systems, adjustable smoke detectors, and anti-icing technology, sports footwear to home insulation to medical imaging,shoe insoles, portable x-ray equipment, Ultrasonic Measurements, Fire Resistant Reinforcement, Microencapsulation Technology, Strong Lubricants, Structural Analysis Software and tons and tons of other stuff.
At this point, I have to assume you are just yankking chains. I mean, you might honestly not believe we walked on the moon, but surely you understand the advances we got from the space program goes far above Tang.

Hey. You can believe what you want to believe. That's ok. All I am saying is if you can have unmanned missions land on the moon and return, it just seems reasonable that you could do manned missions. I just don't think that the US could lie about sending 6 manned missions to the moon and return and somebody (besides conspiracy theorists) not expose it as a hoax. :dunno:

Only the US, Russia (1966), and China (2000) have landed a vehicle on the moon and returned it to Earth. Only the U.S. has landed humans.
Ok, so it has been done several times, one of which was 3 years before we did a manned landing and return. So, why is it to hard to believe?
quote:
If that is true, that humans only add a little weight, then why have China and Russian not done it?
What would they gain except for "pride"? It's expensive and many countries, including the US have ignored the moon for a long time. (Ignored as a whole) We pretty much gained any unknown information with our manned missions. Remember, we have done it six times. I mean what would we have to gain by lying about it? Pride? "We won the race!"? I guess, but it sure would be an expensive way to get bragging rights.
quote:Your argument is that they would have the right to say, "We did it too after you did it!"? Not sure there would be a whole lot of pride left in that.
And the ability to waive it in the face of the U.S. that they can do it too.
quote:Look. We already had landed and returned and have done it numerous times. People had gone into space many times before that, so it's not like there would need to be food, oxygen, payload.....tell me the difference in landing and returning and landing and returning with people on board. Other than danger, which would be present with manned or unmanned missions.
If it really is as simple as adding a little weight, then why haven’t Russia and China done it?
You're the one that made the argument that it could be a pride thing if Russia or China went up. How about an embarrassment angle if they went up and could not return after we had done it successfully? (Mind you, I don't think pride has anything to do with it once we or Russia had landed a manned mission. The pride angle was won and ended with the landing. Once we have had several manned missions, collected samples and returned what is there to be gained to keep going back?
I just don't think "Why hasn't China or Russia done it?" is a valid argument for saying we haven't done it.
Just for clarification. We claim to have done it six times. Do you think we lied about all six times?
Apollo 11
Apollo 12
Apollo 14
Apollo 15
Apollo 16
Apollo 17
were all claimed to be manned landings and returns. Your belief is that all were hoaxes? Or, you at least have doubts?

Alleged payments from an LSU booster to family members of Tigers football players have come to light as part of the proceedings for that booster's wire fraud case in Louisiana.

Make no mistake about it, all of the major teams paid players one way or other. Some just did it better than others.

We were averaging 8+ ypc against the Ole Miss D and quit running it. Who else on the staff but Bobo makes that decision? And yes, he should be criticized for it.
We ran the ball 37 times and threw the ball 33 times. We averaged 3.4 yards a carry on the game.
We had 6 rushes in the game that were for 8 yards or more, and four of those were on a single drive in the second quarter, so I doubt very seriously that we averaged 8 yards a carry unless it was very early in the game after a big run. (Stockton had a 12 yard rush, so, just guessing his was probably on a scramble, and not a designed run.) :lol:
Think about it. Our first first drive in the second quarter we had 62 yards on 6 carries. That being the case, that means we had 62 yards on 31 carries the rest of the game. Don't confuse one series success with rushing success for the entire game. Outside of that one series (which did end in a TD) we ran the ball 31 more times and got 62 yards. Teams, tend to adjust during the game.

This. Just like in football, some weak teams make the cut and leave some decent teams out. Auburn could probably beat several teams that made it to the tournament.

Because unlike landing on the moon and leaving a lander or probe there as is done with unmanned ones, we had to take off from the moon and navigate back to earth safely.
And yet many countries have done that. Albeit with empty rockets, but humans add weight, nothing more, nothing less. Well, they add the ability to adjust and take control. Tell me why having humans on board makes everything so much more difficult. The only thing a human adds is weight. Obviously it is dangerous, but it is always dangerous when you go into space. Ask the Apollo 13 astronauts. Bu being a manned space ship does not make it suddenly more likely to fail. We had already gone into space many, many times.
quote:True, but when a new thing is happening there are always glitches, failures etc. When they started doing heart transplants there were many failures along the way. People died on the operating table. People died after a few weeks of the operation. Some people still die a short time after surgery, but I also knew a man that lived 15-20 years afterwards, and even then died from cancer...yet some people still die shortly after having the transplant. Mind you...I'm not talking heart surgery...I'm talking heart transplant.
Yet we have had many issues taking off from Earth. The Apollo launch pad accident, the Challenger disaster, multiple launch scrubs for technical issues. That is despite the fact that they have the ability to test things in Earth’s atmosphere. And we have launch facilities. And thousands of on hand ground support. Still, with all that we struggled. Yet we were successfully able to take off from the moon and return to Earth safely with none of that six out of six tries.

I am not saying it did not happen. But I don’t believe with absolute certainty it did like many of you. I am simply a skeptic.

The desire to beat me into submission in this thread is strange.

FTR, for me it is harder for me to believe we made it to the moon in 1969, than it is we got there and we walked on it. The tricky part is not walking on the moon...it's getting there in the first place. (I do believe we got there and also walked on it.)

I have questions about whether we actually were able to walk on the moon and then safely make it back to Earth.
But....why? If we could put a rocket on the moon, people would only be added weight. I mean the infrastructure would be in place as far as oxygen, food, waste etc unless you doubt we sent people into space. So, sending people on the moon would just be a matter of extra weight. As for walking...NASA could easily replicate conditions on the moon. It just seems naive to think we could send a rocket to do a soft landing yet not be able to put people in the rocket for a landing.

We have seen how the government will straight lie to people on a global scale. We saw the two unmanned attempts to land on the moon earlier this year both fail - despite being exponentially more technically advanced than we were in 1969. No one has actually been able to see any of the discarded lunar landers from the Apollo program with a telescope, despite the fact we now have telescopes 100x more sensitive and advanced than the Hubble Space Telescope. We can see over 13 billion light years away. But we can’t see any of the junk we left on the moon.
Strange.

Foley is VERY friendly to going to right field.
No doubt. No argument there. But typically that is an advantage to left handed hitters, right? It is easier to pull the ball down the right field line than it it to go to opposite field. Our left field line, however, is significantly farther than Alex Box, giving right handed hitters the advantage at Alex Box.
The population is 10.6% Left handed, so Alex Box would be a significant advantage to right handed hitters, (89.4% of the population)
quote:
It's really not debatable that right field is power hitter friendly at Foley.
I never did, nor would i make that argument. My argument is that the right field line would be advantageous to much fewer players than the Alex Box shorter left field line.
quote:
Ball also flies a little further (not a huge amount) at higher elevations like in Athens or Knoxvile vs. sea level.
I have heard this argument made think it is reasonable.
I just think it is silly for LSU fans to act like Foley is such a huge advantage to Georgia when it would only be an advantage to a much smaller number of players. When you add that the other team gets to play on the same field I'm not sure that it is some huge advantage in a game...as LSU proved at Tennessee. Yes, the Tennessee ballpark may be small but the visiting team enjoys that same advantage.
Charlie Condon is probably Georgia's most prolific power hitter recently and he was right handed.
This year Daniel Jackson leads the team and bats right handed.
Tre Phelps is second in homeruns and also bats right handed.
Kolby Branch is 3rd and bats right handed.
So, our top 3 home run hitters bat right handed.
Obviously it would be better if I knew where to find where the majority of home runs were hit, but I just don't know where to find that information, nor do I have the time. Maybe someone on here knows where it is kept? But, I would be willing to bet that more LSU hitters take advantage of the Alex Box left field fence than Georgia players hitting home runs to right field. I don't watch a ton of Georgia baseball, but when I do get a chance most of the homeruns go to left center field. (I should say I have seen some going out in right field, too, though.)
quote:
How many of those were to right field at Foley Field? (314 feet)
Alex Box Stadium
Field size Foul lines: 330 ft
Power alleys: 365 ft
Center: 405 ft
Foley Field:
LF: 350 ft (106.7 m)
LC: 370 ft (112.8 m)
CF: 404 ft (123.1 m)
RC: 365 ft (111.3 m)
RF: 314 ft (95.7 m)
Looks to me like Foley is similar to Alex Box. Deeper in Left by 20 feet shorter in right by 16 feet. How many of LSU's HRs are to left field? Do none of you ever check things before you post, or do you just regurgitate what others say on the Rant?

You've got to be an alter, or just a bad troll. A short look at your posting history shows you troll. That's it. No decent conversations. Just come on and call names and troll. :rolleyes:
Now do calls at 3 am telling them their daughter has been raped, sexually assaulted or beaten but, hey, the Uniiversity is aware of it but we are going to cover it up. Georgia didn’t cover anything up, but Tennessee administration covered up countless rapes and sexual assaults their athletes did. Now they are letting anti-Semitic behavior go rampant. But hey…no harm no foul since it was athletes doing it.
Keep in mind. Georgia did not cover anything up. I will go on record that any misbehavior that Georgia athletes have done or do in the future should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I will go further and say I would be greatly embarrassed if the University covered misbehavior up.
Can you say the same? Tennessee covered up rapes, sexual assaults, and domestic violence cases. Does this bother you at all?

No, not DEI complaints. Maybe reading is not your strong suit. I have to wonder if you know the difference between civil rights violations and DEI?
Do you know what Civil Rights are? The investigations going on have to do with the university condoning or allowing civil rights violations against Jewish students.
