[quote][quote]At any rate gone are the days when a few ole Louisiana boys from places throughout the state told Mom/Dad they would like to go to LSU and play baseball and tryout for a scholarship! No sir…..those days are pretty much over cuz the folks in charge gotta deal through that thing called a...

[quote]Guys do get better and elite coaching can absolutely make a difference.
I'm just saying, counting on half of the defense to make MASSIVE strides between last year and this year is pretty fricking ambitious.
[/quote]I think it's clear the defensive staff failed pretty badly last year, as ev...
re: NCAA about to change transfer rules

[quote]It's sad seeing what the game of college football is turning into.
[/quote]It's not football that will be totally screwed up with this; as the season is primarily locked into the fall semester.
Basketball is both fall and spring. "Immediate eligibility" is the key phrase; if you can enro...

re: Logan Diggs - not really talked about on the board

[quote][quote]Diggs was a very good back[/quote]
Nah, he was serviceable. Best of an average group.[/quote]I'm good with this; he was okay and solid, but not spectacular. Best comparison might be TDP or Brossette.

re: Do you ever see war fought in American soil?

[quote]Not talking isolated attacks (Pearl Harbor, 9/11). Talking a full on battle fought overhead or on mainland soil where we are being invaded?[/quote]If you're talking about an actual, traditional military force attempting to seize soil, then extremely doubtful.
Mainland, we have 2 borders. C...

What's crazy is that the portal is still a pretty new thing; most coaches are guys who came up without it.
That being the case, where is LSU this year WITHOUT Holman, Braswell, and Bingham? Who's our Friday starter and everyday shortstop? ...
Youtube new layout- is there a way to get the old one back?
Posted by Scoob on 4/16/24 at 10:32 pm
I'm putting this on the tech board, if it should go somewhere else, please move.
My layout on my desktop today looks terrible. I can click on a subscribed channel, click a video, and the video plays... and under it is a bunch of random other videos (not the same channel/subscription).

[quote]That’s why this team is 3-12 in the SEC.[/quote]I wouldn't even single out individual players, to be honest. It's the whole team, from coaches on down.
I'm not able to pull the actual numbers, but I get the impression that if the games ended after 3 innings, we'd still be top 5, and after ...
re: College Football Blue Bloods: Ranking The 25 Best Football Schools

[quote]They don't even know what blue blood means.
There are 8 blue blood teams. It does not mean they are among the most elite in the nation, it means they are the teams that were consistently good in the period of time when college football got popular and have large fan bases that give them a ...
re: A good comparison for this LSU baseball team is the Arkansas basketball team
Posted by Scoob on 4/15/24 at 9:48 pm
[quote]Also that we obviously have some internal issues, though not from a gay love triangle.
There’s no excitement, no energy, lots of blank stares. There’s a lack of effort. Guys running balls out, general lack of hustle.[/quote]I noticed that in the Vandy series, in the field. Vandy scored a cou...

[quote]Well we would have an even worse record if we played really good teams.
[/quote]Call me crazy, but I think this team was better early on. Seems like something might have happened, that maybe coincided with the start of conference play. What that would be, I don't know. But we appeared to be ...

San Diego
Salt Lake City
San Antonio (current)
Memphis (current)
Birmingham (current)
St. Louis
Orlando
Fort Lauderdale
Louisville

[quote]The ARs they find are typically disassembled to make them easier to smuggle across.
[/quote]This was what I was thinking too. If you're doing a 14.5" barrel, then nothing would be long if you're doing components. It might take a couple guys a day to put 50+ together, if they have the right t...
re: Predict LSUs SEC record after next 3 series
Posted by Scoob on 4/14/24 at 8:04 pm
[quote]I was close I said 2-13.
[/quote]What's bad is you were probably trolling just a bit (3 sweeps).
I went through this, and couldn't find anything worse than 4-11... and we're under that. 3-12, folks.
Which makes all these "wait until we play the rest of the SEC teams" a bit funny/sad; o...

re: Tiger Fans will never be satisfied with LSU coaches/teams.

To the OP:
we're 3-11 in SEC play, have not won a series yet, have been swept once and in line for it again, been run-ruled 3 times in conference play, and have not won a single game 3 this year.
Are you satisfied? ...
