Looking to buy some tickets and wanted to know what day/game number we're looking at. Friday? Saturday? TIA, if anyone knows! :geauxtigers:

Do we know about Guillory? Will he be eligible to come back next year given his injury?

And the last of the 2019 team.

FWIW, Josh Williams is still around and was on the 2019 team.

To be clear, the list is from EA College Football 25, the video game. These will be the starting rankings in game. They should be able to change throughout game modes and depending on user success.



See the official release tweet here.

FWIW, I also didn't make the list, but I totally understand the downvotes for sharing the news :lol:

This is probably well off, but just some thoughts even with the draft and portal upcoming.

Rotation:
-You'll be without Jump and Ack as well as Holman.
-Have to think it's Shores, Anderson, and potentially Herring or Noot.
-Cam Johnson could make a push.
-Portal is highly likely for one more experienced guy.
-Feel like you'd love for Herring to remain in his role as 1st guy out of the pen/late game relief.

Outfield:
-You'll be without Bingham, but otherwise should be fine.
-Some combination of Pearson (if he doesn't go, he's got 1 more year and his brother coming in may be enough of an incentive to stay and play together), Kling (if he doesn't go to the portal), Brown, and Larson.

Infield:
1B - Jones is gone IMO - but would love to get him back somehow. That said, you're probably looking portal or Frey here.
2B - Milam should have that locked down, but Jay did say in the SEC tourney interviews that Milam could be a shortstop next year. Don't think we're seeing a change.
SS - Braswell should be back. I don't think we're seeing a change here as he indicated he's interested/would love to stay another year.
3B - Portal is absolutely the move here. I don't think we have someone ready to step into this role.
C - Neal and incoming freshman Priester should have us in a good position. Not worried at all, but we do lose a bit of defense in Milazzo. Have to see if Neal can improve a little behind the plate - especially with keeping balls in front.

DH: Frey is a good candidate - as is one of the odd ones out from the outfield (Jake Brown?), but not sure. A nice bat from the portal would be nice.

Rotation Depth:
-I think we're in a great position here. Will need a quality arm or two from the portal to replace a few of these guys (i.e. Ack, Hellmers, Little).
-Will have Ulloa, Coleman, Guidry, Dutton, Kade Woods, Bronzini, and Moffett potentially.
-Hurd is probably gone.
-Hope Loer moves on; just didn't seem to be the right fit. Same with Primeaux.

Staff:
-Think you give Yeskie one more year to get stuff together - would be nice for continuity after so much change in coaching over the last few years there; though rumors have flown that he's getting interest from West Coast teams.
-The staff should be relatively set if Yeskie stays. You'll never replace Wanaka and the other coaches seemed okay.

Idk - just some thoughts because I'm not quite ready to tune out of baseball season. I'm probably wrong on some parts of this and don't have all of the detail with the incoming class/portal, of course. Geaux Tigers though.

Some actual answers...

Transport:
Rent a car in NOLA and drive - return on Sunday unless you're with a group on the bus.

If you're thinking AirBnB, around campus is fine as long as you avoid Gardere/Lee area. I'd stick around campus, Downtown, Spanishtown, Garden District, or somewhere a bit further around Kennilworth, Perkins, or Oak Hills Place.

Hotels:
- WATERMARK Hotel
- Origin Hotel
- Sonesta ES Suites
- Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center

Where to Eat:
Breakfast
- Louie's Cafe
- Coffee Call
- The Ruby Slipper

Lunch and Dinner
- The Chimes - Highland Rd
- Elsie's Plate & Pie
- Bellue's Cajun Cuisine
- City Slice
- Jolie Pearl Oyster Bar
- The Little Village

Things to Do:
-LSU Football Game (of course) + Tailgate in the RV lot or around the Parade Grounds.
-Watch the band come down Victory Hill and perform pregame outside the stadium; swing by Mike's Cage and there will probably be some craziness outside the PMAC with bands/vendors.
-Get some beers at Rally Cap Brewing or Tin Roof Beer.
-See the Louisiana State Capitol via the Observation Deck.
-Visit Magnolia Mound Plantation.
-Check out the USS Kidd Veterans Museum near the river - though it may be leaving the dock before the game comes around.

Enjoy, welcome, and Geaux Tigers!

Why would HVL and Angel not come back?

---

Angel may want to go pro (but she'd make more money at the college level and would have a great shot at a 2nd title IMO).

HVL already graduated from Louisville with a degree in Finance and may not want to come back without Reese; plus, there's been some chatter (true or not, idk) about whether or not she'd want to come back again to play away from the SG position.
