Lying Iran. Imagine that. The least of their sins., 47 years of
Murder, extortion, kidnapping, rape, suppression and we are shocked that thy lie about a ceasefire. We keep bombing everyday and twice on weekends until they have no choice but to surrender. You kill every leader they propose and you take that oil island. You carpet bomb the Iranian border along the strait and not even take a call from them unless they totally surrender.
I like John Fleming. I think he’s conservative and qualified.
It’s going to be mighty dark at night in Iran.
Good thing Jake Brown hit that ball slowly. His typical hard hit ball and the game is over. We lose. Arrambide no record. Baseball is a brutal game of inches and small details that make all the difference. Good thing Stanfield can run.

Bench Yorke and let Yamin play a lot more. He can play 1st too.
He’s not going to destroy their infrastructure because that would be counter productive to our real goal on regime change and freeing the Iranian people from the autocratic religious zealots.

He knows we would end up having to pay to rebuild the infrastructure and could in the short term cause unrest amount those we are trying to liberate.

He should just be honest and say we are about changing the blood thirsty and immoral regime. The world economy is in the balance. The world economy can’t thrive on $100+ a barrel oil.

Some random judge will rule against it and we'll be back where we were. The NCAA completely abdicated their responsibility an we are where we are.
2After 1969 the excitement started to die and by the last landing in 1972 nobody paid any attention to the landings anymore. I was a college kid at the time and much more concerned about the Vietnam War and the lack of support our country had for our soldiers. It was the beginning of what we are dealing with to this day.

IMO we are wasting time and money on space travel given all the issues we have on planet earth. Let's focus on our world before we go any further into outer space.
Well as a very invested fan I want the quality of the program to be sustainable. Cheap tickets aren’t in any long term invested fans best interests. We have to pay for maintaining a great coach and the team results we have come to expect.

Tickets in the uncovered aread are $4 for non conference games outside the grandstands , $7 in the grandstand and only $10 in the Champions Club. That’s too low. I think it’s $10, $18 and $30 for SEC games. That’s why it’s so hard to buy new season tickets. There aren’t any because people won’t ever give them up because they are so cheap. Too cheap.

I don’t want to pay more than i should have to pay but to ask for a “share” is like begging. Baseball can make enough money to pay their way and the people who are invested are willing to pay IMO.

Women’s BB should be looked at in a similar fashion. The rabid fans need to pay a fair “share” for their passion. Women’s sports, track and field, golf and tennis will never pay their way. These activities need to be looked at differently I guess and their value needs to I be evaluated.

If we raised ticket prices baseball could make several $M and not be a drag on the overall Athletic department.
I didn't say triple. I think you'd sell every ticket you sell now at double the price and maybe more for the CC, gold and purple seats. You literally can't buy those tickets and there is hardly a game where 20-25% of those seats aren't empty..

How many seats do we have? 10,000 for what 30 games? Raise the price on average $15/seat. $4.5 M. All baseball.,
Baseball ticket sales wouldn't be shared. They belong to baseball. You can donate to TAF with a baseball only donation as well. That money is not shared. That's what keeps Jay going. We need to stop focusing on share. Just generate the money for your program.
In a real business world you eat what you kill. Jay doesn't need revenue share. He needs to be able to unlock the demand for his product. Raise the damn ticket prices to BASEBALL.

We are #1 in attendance every year. Now that doesn't mean seats in the seats but rather ticket sales. When you sell all your product and still have people wanting more you raise the price as we can't add more seats very easily. The money for Jay is there to be totally controlled by baseball. Stop focusing on share. That's socialism..
The Box is always sold out. We lead the nation in ticket sales. The number of people who attend is not what's counted. The tickets are all sold. Have you ever tried to buy grandstand tickets from LSU. You can't.

If we raise the price we'll generate the revenue because people will still buy the tickets., might be different people but I guarantee you people will buy them. The tickets are too cheap.
I don't believe in making WBB worse to make Baseball better. Baseball can generate the revenue., Reprice the tickets at 2X's existing price. People will buy the tickets.
We need to focus on ticket revenue. We are leaving a lot of money on the table. The resellers are making more than LSU.
Premium seats at baseball have to be repriced to start. There are far too many legacy fans who buy the purple, gold and Champions Club tickets and never come to the games. The suites are all repricing in 2027.


The revenue potential is there in baseball but we aren't taking advantage of it right now.,,A baseball ticket at $10-24 is way too low especially in the grandstands. Make the tickets $30-50 and people who really want to go will attend. Tickets are too cheap to give up right now.


There are enough rabid Tiger baseball fans to sell out that stadium at 2-3 X 's the current cost. Repricing tickets should generate $6-7M. All for baseball. The big Tiger baseball donors will continue what they do which is likely $3-4 M more.
The state should be flush with oil and gas money. The LNG projects alone are bringing in 100's of millions. Landry is a shoe in. The state is much better off today vs when JBE was in charge. He was a joke.

I was wrong. Bench Yorke. He catches that foul ball it's 1-0. He's too slow

I like Guidry here. He'll give us a spark in front of the Home crowd
