A few selected comments about your candidate, Trump
Posted by TheShmoo on 10/6/24 at 1:08 pm

"He rambles...

Was about to bitch about the 11.7 scholarships after reading proposal to allow 105 for football when this turned up:
"The NCAA just approved increasing the number of baseball scholarships per team from 11.7 to 34 for the 2025-26 season. This means the whole roster of D1 and D2 baseball players wi...
"The Athletic" posted a long article on LSU's upcoming season this morning

No prediction about record, but ended with this:
"LSU is used to a difficult schedule. That’s life in the old SEC West, and for a program that frequently sets challenging nonconference games. In a quirk this year, the Tigers play both USC and UCLA as part of their first season as Big Ten members....

Responders to this post have, so far, used the following names when refering to "the left" :
