You know when you are in Vegas and just cried Uncle in the penny slots and are sipping your banana daiquari and adjusting your fanny pack. You then look past the roped off area and see that high stake poker table? You are wondering how those players in there can throw away so much money on a table game? This is what you are dealing with right now.

The difference is I walk out winning 500 bucks and you walk out losing 30 million

Better than buying players and being mediocre. Amirite, Tamu?

C'mon dude. They have 3 of the highest paid guys in college baseball. What's gonna kill LSU football is what they are throwing at baseball. It's the world we live in now.

Touchdown Tony: Believe it or not there is a core subset of Business Leaders and alums in Baton Rouge and New Orleans that are Baseball people. That is they are individuals that put money to LSU baseball for NIL. Now does that mean they don't support LSU in other areas, no, but the money going to LSU baseball would likely not automatically go to say LSU football or basketball, etc.

HS baseball in LA, before the travel ball era, was highly competitive, in particular the Catholic league in New Orleans and the private Religious Schools in Baton Rouge (Catholic HS, Parkview Baptist) and other areas across the state. Baseball at the HS level has always been a very popular sport, or at least it use to be again before the travel ball era that we are in now, which has probably hurt HS baseball to some degree I think. It definitely has reduced the amount of HS guys that use to be 2 sport athletes with respect to playing baseball and football.

I think baseball really took off at LSU starting in the 1980's and then in the 1990's right around the first MLB steroid disclosures started becoming public and LSU started winning CWS. Lots of hardcore MLB fans who were casual LSU baseball fans sort of turning in to LSU baseball and it has been a mini version of Tiger Stadium at the Box for SEC weekend baseball series ever since.

Well get ready cause it’s not gonna be the last one we “buy.”



Here, have a jell-o shot-on us.

Kevin O’Sullivan had an affair with man’s wife….

I remember this story - at least one of the boys was a bat boy for the team IIRC.

Ok...looked around the internet. He was married when he got to UF. Has two kids. Got divorced in 2017.
His family was friends with the family of the two boys that were killed.
That family had a medical device company, pretty lucrative. Father was president and wife listed as VP.
Marriage issues, I guess an affair may have been taking place.
Somehow the husband was fired from his role as president of the company (that was named after him), and he was posting wedding photos and such to Facebook, kind of strange. A couple days later he killed his boys, set fire to a vacation home, then killed himself.

The woman and O'Sullivan are now married.

I can only guess that the wife was having an affair with O'Sullivan, while her boys were around the UF baseball program all the time, and the husband probably felt like everything was destroyed, work performance probably went haywire, got fired, and that was the end of it. Probably felt like he lost his boys, his wife, and his company. That's his entire life and everything he lived for, most likely.

I could not care any less about the CWS now. Not sure of O'Sullivan's role in all of this, but it doesn't look all that great.

Would it be disgusting if Kiffin bought a West Title with kids from the Portal?

Here we go again.

Yet another butt hurt psycho LSU HATER on the SEC Rant materializes.

The HATE is so bad and they're so ate up inside that they can't stand it and have to start a thread to deal with their emotional trauma.

You are one fricked up individual

You literally employ a coach who is indirectly responsible for two kids deaths, that is apprehensible beyond belief
