Smith was a good backup, but was not going to be a starter. Had Poa stayed on the team this year she would have got next to zero playing time. Del Rosario should have transferred to a mid major.

If Koval stays I agree she will be better next year. Grace Knox will be better as well. They need an offensive threat with size though. If they can find a 6’4+ who can score 15 or more consistently against SEC teams they can be special next year. We will be loaded at 1-3.

He had a bad wreck in Los Angeles in 2021. Car tumbled down an embankment. I don’t think he was charged with a dwi on that one, but he was going 40 mph over the speed limit.

The gas prices are largely driving this. If he can get that down in the low 2’s again in states like LA/TX it will come up. Something has to be done with meat prices though. I’m afraid that will take years though.

63 years old and just had 2 stents put in. He may be out of coaching pretty soon.

We don’t put down Orcas when they kill humans either. If a dog as much as bites someone people are up in arms to put it down, but a killer whale gets a pass on murder.

Willis Reed, Orlando Woolridge, and Bill Russell was born in West Monroe before family moved out west. The next 50 years SouthLa will have a huge advantage though. The AAU is such a big part of development now. Guys like Karl Malone played at little class c schools in the middle of nowhere.

That was a strong 5 year window in north central Louisiana bball. Scotty Thurmond out of Ruston in ‘92. Went to Arky and was 2nd leading scorer on national title team. Jerald Honeycutt came out of Grambling the next year. Would have ended up at a big time program, but stabbed someone and went to Tulane. Played several years of pro ball. Fizer came out of Arcadia a few years later, and ended a lottery pick in the draft.

Joe Rogan is not a conservative, and has never claimed to be. He supported Bernie Sanders for prez. He doesn’t love Trump. He just cannot recognize the democrats anymore. All of the covid stuff woke him up to how crazy they truly are. He supports a lot of drug legalization, gay marriage, and probably abortion. If you are listening to him to get right wing marching orders you’re looking in the wrong place. I like Rogan primarily for his interviews with scientists, tech leaders, and occasionally comedians when I’m just looking for something light hearted.

The good news is Schmidt is looking solid, and Evans just had his best outing. Cowan will probably become Sunday starter moving forward, but we still have a solid group of relievers. Things can still turn around.

I don’t love Trump saying stuff like this, but the truth is it’s really not costing him politically. I am curious if we will find out what led to Mueller’s passing. There’s no way they are going to come out and say it had anything to do with Alzheimer’s.
