re: Austin Rivers on NFL being easier than the NBA
Posted by Basura Blanco on 5/7/24 at 2:52 pm
Over 99% of NBA players have never played college football, and I would guess less than 20% played high school football. My old arse played high school football and the level of pain/recovery time after a Friday night was a real thing. And that's small time high school football.
Unless they pl...

I didn't get to Houston until 1990. Early July, fresh out of LSU and I was working at the old Unocal building next to the Houston Post. 59 was under major construction at the time. Looking out of the third fl...

[quote]I can see LSU getting in at 13-17 if they beat A&M again and take 2/3 from Alabama and Ole Miss. That would be 5 straight SEC series wins.[/quote]
This. Ole Miss went 13-17, lost the first game of the tourney, and got in two years ago. And I realize a lot of the decision is rooted in mat...

[quote]Don't count your eggs before they chicken[/quote]
Ehhh, I said before the weekend we needed to win 2 of 3 to have a realistic shot at the postseason and even after last night, we are more likely to lose the next two than split. A&M is that damn good.
The win last night against them t...
re: Bama/Ole Miss, what are the NIL estimate of these two players?
Posted by Basura Blanco on 5/4/24 at 3:39 pm
The problem with the numbers thrown out in all NIL funding posts is they are rooted in valuations, assumptions, and hear say. The biggest non-starter though when trying to determine factual numbers, is all three parties involved (the player, the NIL provider, and the school) benefit from inflated nu...

[quote]Let’s see how these 2 weekend games play out first. Cautiously optimistic.[/quote]
No doubt. And while losing both would suck, I will be surprised if we aren't in both games late. I would not have felt that way a month ago. 5-3 feels a lot more in play now than it did then....

Nothing is free in baseball (ok ignore the term free pass here). Walks are an essential part of offensive baseball. A&M was aggressive last night, did nothing to earn a walk(s) and it somewhat neutered the b...

Posted by Basura Blanco on 5/4/24 at 3:03 pm
It is a shame it took so long, but for whatever reason, we no longer look like a bad team. Hell, in hindsight, even the Tenn series felt more competitive. The problem is, it is still baseball and you can lose games while playing well, ask A&M about that. And of course, this team can not afford to...
re: A few things I noticed looking at the boxscore
Posted by Basura Blanco on 5/4/24 at 2:50 pm
[quote]LSU gave up 0 bases on balls A&M gave up only 2.
[/quote]
A lot of that is due to A&M being aggressive at the plate. And of course when we were down early we had posts lamenting the fact that we need to be more aggressive at the plate like A&M....

Yes, it would be pay for play. And that has been going on forever. A kid is required to play football to earn/retain something of value (his football scho...
