Is he wrong? To be fair here, we have only fought 1 legitimate war in my lifetime. By legitimate I mean a declared war by congress to fight an enemy in the actual best interest of the American Citizens. That was the Afghanistan kill Bin Laden portion of the war on terror.

My father in law had a massive stroke. We were told that he was unresponsive and in a vegetative state. That he couldn’t communicate with us. Turns out he was able to reconcile with his kids, answer direct questions, and even, on the day before he finally passed, express joy when I told him my son hit his first home run.
Point is- he was definitely there

Watching from a distance- it’s too much stuff and not enough pitch ability/ command. This is not just an LSU issue either. Across baseball these things are prevalent:
1. Reliable pitching depth is severely lacking. Few teams have a pen they can trust
2. Catching is abysmal!!

LSU is struggling with both of those AND
1- they can’t play catch ( defense)
2- not enough of either situational hitting or power. Gotta have at least one of those two to win consistently

But hey

Back the Blue right??

That’s been the standard since the dawn of the game.

Since early 2000s maybe late 90s

He only has his own recruiting to blame. I don’t know how you fail to get one power hitter in the offseason to add to the lineup. As soon as the other team gets 2 + runs on you it feels over.

They have NO rev share money to speak of at all. They’re really behind the 8 ball even in that conference much less on a national level. Coastal, USM, Troy, USA, JMU, all out resource UL by a wide margin. It’s why you continue to see the Cajuns asking more freshmen than their competitors do to carry the team. Freshmen are cheaper than transfers.
That said, they gotta figure it out soon. Season is spiraling

North Vermilion hands STM first district loss. Blaze Duhon pitches six innings in 4-1 win.

That district is so damn tough!
Rayne may finish 4th and they have a guy throwing mid 90s and just run ruled a really good and tough ND squad

Honestly I don’t think there’s much separating the two but right now it’s project ability . Curiel has elite bat to ball and A LOT more juice left. Pro orgs see a guy they can easily add 15-20 lbs of muscle too without sacrificing athleticism and adjust bat path to generate more lift and they’ve got a 20-20 guy at worst
Brown is closer to what he’s going to be - a big leaguer- today so less upside in the long run. Big leaguer orgs lust over potential

First off:
You’re doing very well! Congrats

Your discretionary spending is a bit high though. My sincere advice is to follow Dave Ramsey’s plan. Essentially:
Create a budget and stick to it tightly
Eliminate car notes
Eliminate credit cards balances
Build up emergency fund


You’re going to be living below your means for while and it can get frustrating to see all of your friends with nicer things than you, but within a few years that script flips and you can be completely financially independent.
I’m 43 and my wife and I starting using the plan when I was a few years younger than you. 6 kids all in private school the whole 9 yards. Haven’t had a car notes in 15 years, 100% financially independent today, and, when I started my new business a few years back we had 2 years of income in cash. Lifestyle didn’t have to change!
My point is definitely not to brag about me. I’m hoping to help you get ready for a life with children

Going home and writing letters to my kids today!
