re: A California Perspective on LSU
Posted by westcoastcajun on 6/27/23 at 7:36 pm
I have been in LA since the late 90's. Wore the Purple and Gold to work today and got a few "Go Tigers" at the Century City Mall when I was at lunch.
The amount of great college baseball in Southern California is fantastic. UCLA, Pepperdine, Fullerton, SDSU, Long Beach all have good programs. ...
re: 5 5-Star players in the 2023 class have verballed. 3 of them to Southern Cal. Avg * 99.33

There are three teams in LA in the following order:
1. Lakers
2. Dodgers
3. USC football
All the other teams are nice and draw a crowd, but those are the only teams that matter. Riley will have more NIL money than any other D1 team can imagine if he proves himself this season. USC has entire...
Dawgs Fans - Who you losing to the Draft that wouldn't leave if you didn't win the Natty?
Posted by westcoastcajun on 1/11/22 at 11:30 am
LSU and Bama both had a bunch of players declare that wouldn't have after winning the Natty. Who are you guys going to lose that should probably stay another year?...
re: Will the future be spending less on coaches and having more in an “NIL account”

At the end of the day teams still have to win. An LSU team that is 6-6 for 5 years isn't going to get the national money that a consistent winner in the Big 10 or PAC 12. Those winning teams have play at the best time, have the best TV slots, get the most national press. 6-6 teams go to bowl game...
NFL Assistants that can step up to the plate? No more college retreads...

How about Josh McDaniels or Dennis Allen? These guys had their chance at the top job in the big league and aren't going to get another shot at a NFL HC job. Their only way back would be the HC redemption way like Pete Carrol did at USC. ...
When coaches are paid that amount, players should be in a position to succeed.
Posted by westcoastcajun on 9/5/21 at 11:18 am
What got me about last night is the number of times our players were out of position and that adjustments were not made during the game.
The entire LSU coaching staff is paid at the top of the college scale. For that money, those players should be 100% prepared when they walk on the field. When...

Nope. Straight drive down the 10 until they hit the 57 and then the 210 right into Pasadena. ...
Moo State was the original SEC Baseball School
Posted by westcoastcajun on 7/1/21 at 9:16 am
Congrats Moo State!
For those that are new to SEC baseball, Ron Polk, not Skip Bertman, was the man that put SEC Baseball on the map. I grew up going to the old Alex Box games and there would be less than 50 people in the stands for any given game. In 1985, Moo State and Polk came through town ...
re: Saints vs Bucs highest rated opener on Fox since 2016
Posted by westcoastcajun on 9/14/20 at 4:46 pm
A 16.2 rating is over 40 Million viewers. That a 33% increase in Tampa Bay and and the people watching at home in New Orleans are a rounding error.

re: The Robinson Hire is all about recruiting Southern California
Posted by westcoastcajun on 7/1/19 at 7:03 pm
I am an LSU alum that has lived in LA for over 30 years.
For those that to don't live west and are bashing on the Robinson name, you have no clue. John Robinson hasn't paid for a drink, dinner, car or home in SoCal since he coached at USC. For those that think that every person that has grown u...
The Robinson Hire is all about recruiting Southern California
Posted by westcoastcajun on 7/1/19 at 12:10 pm
Coach Robinson a legend bordering on a deity in SoCal. He was Nick Saban before Saban. If CEO has Coach Robinson join him during in home visits in SoCal, that will close the deal for a lot of families.
If LSU wants to recruit a elite QBs, this is where they are grown.
Smart move by CEO...

You are truly blessed to have such an amazing woman in your life. I know that the entire Saints family will have your wife in our thoughts at every game this season....
Doing a little better today
Posted by westcoastcajun on 1/16/18 at 5:25 pm
I was in Las Vegas Sunday. Not a lot of Who Dat nation where I was but surrounded by Purple. Who Dat was loud and even though the first half was a dumpster fire, we stayed positive continued to represent.
At 23 to 21, the Saints faithful high-fived a little, but we all had flash backs to the 49...

This is a such a passive mentality. If you are going to make a change, have a plan and execute. If Alleva and co. has a Miles replacement in mind, someone that has Tiger roots, then make the change.
History is littered with NFL and College ...

re: Do you live vicariously through LSU football?
Posted by westcoastcajun on 11/11/13 at 2:56 pm
I grew up in BR going to LSU games with my family in the late 70s and early 80s. During that time, the experience of winning was the farthest thing from our mind. Going to see LSU play on a Saturday night with my family, tailgating, yelling for the Tigers and just enjoying the whole event was some...
re: JFF on the Cover of Time-"It's time to pay college athletes"

7 pages into the thread and the only posters that support "paying" college athletes are TA&M posters. :lol:
If you don't think a full scholly, room, board and all of the benefits and extras that come with being a athlete is enough "pay" for a college athlete, you must not think very highly of y...
