Speaking of, how does LSU's engineering program overall stack up these days?

When I was there (long time ago) PETE was world-class of course, and I think Chem E was considered decent, but the rest was pretty mediocre.

Still the same?
Just off the top of my head I'll guess that in any given year out of the top 50 HS baseball prospects, 45 will go to MLB and 5 to college, and it's a miracle that the colleges even get that many.

Unlike colleges, MLB can make these top kids offers they can't refuse.

C'mon brah. I see six or seven in the photo alone. And they all look like they travel well.

Beat the hell out of them, then invite them to some tailgates for hot Cajun food and cold Abita.

LSU will have made some new fans for life.
First prize: Baton Rouge to Atlanta sometime in the mid 90s. Weather was fine leaving, but there was some godawful weather around Atlanta and the ride started getting really nasty over mid-Alabama or so. Had one of those instances where the plane smacked downward so hard anybody unbelted would have hit the ceiling. A woman with a German-sounding accent next to me was just about to shite her pants. Only time I've ever puked on a plane. As Atlanta came into view you could see these gnaryly-arse black clouds ahead of us with lightning coming out of them. At that point the pilot told everyone, frick this, we're going to land in Columbia, SC instead", where everyone ended up spending the night.

Second prize: on a Martha's Vineyard vacay about 10 yrs ago the last leg was in one of these tiny Cape Air puddle jumpers from Providence, RI to MV. It seated literally 6 or 7 people. When the pilot wanted to seat us a certain way that took into consideration what everyone weighed, my "oh shite" radar went through the roof. The weather wasn't absolutely wretched but it was cloudy and rainy. At one point during the trip I swear the plane went into freefall, nose down, for what had to be 5-6 seconds or so. The pilot (right in front of me) didn't seem to be making any frantic movements or anything with his controls, and that was the ONLY thing that kept me from losing my shite.

We took the god damn ferry back to Providence when the vacation was over, blee dat!

LOL. UCLA's players are reading TD at this very moment saying to themselves "Hey look at that overconfidence the derps are displaying. Frick man we got this"

Did your post make you feel incredibly clever and witty?

As does Gaspard's employment, ya think? Or is that too much to ask for?
I'd sort of like to see Arky get sent all the way out to the UCSB regional....

....and then just completely wreck shite right, left and center to show up the jackasses that thought UCSB was worthy of hosting anything besides surfing.

You do realize teams have won the cws without a designated closer, right?


of course they have, but both you and the OP are missing the forest for the trees a bit here. With regard to LSU's natl title hopes, the bullpen is the least of their wrries right now. Of much greater concern has to be the sudden AWOL-ness of our Friday guy and the (for all practical purposes) season-long absence of any semblance of a Sunday guy.

One of those can be worked around; both of them at the same time cannot.

Person's performance against UF was disappointing but not indicative of anything IMO. As for Stallings, I think PM wanted to give him just one last shot to confirm what he probably was already pretty sure of while it still didn't count for much. I still feel fine about Person and Bugg.

ETA: We have GOT to have the on-point Poche back. Simple as.

The people that paid my salary sure as hell wasn't these pussified ignorant millennials AND they aren't paying a dam penny for benefits for me now. These ignorant pukes talk about something they know nothing about from behind their keyboards. I'm not mad as some of the ignorant little pukes may think. I simply stated a facts. I am not "butthurt" in any way. I am not mad in any way. I came to grips with this a long time ago. I have low expectations of them and they fail to meet them every time. Annnnd so, fuuk all the little pukes out there that have no idea concerning this subject.


What's da matta, lil tiny misère? How come it's mad?

Did it poopoo in its pants again?

Sadly, Chimes Street isn't what it used to be. Maybe walk a circle around that block for old times sake.

The old gym-armory is pretty cool, but wait until midnight or so :D

j/k. A heartfelt thanks to you and yours.
Oh look, we've found another one.

You are hereby promoted to PFC in the SJW Army, soldier. Congratulations.

Oh, and your pitiful little attempt to pretend that it's only about "stolen valor" failed utterly.

Try again? Three for a quarter.
Wouldn't be Bill McClard's family, would it? Anyone remember him?
Ohhh it's mad! It's MAD, yah! IF it's mad!

Why you so mad, lil tiny misère?

You MAD MAD MAD yah shah!

I'm thinking that many/most of these candy-assed "butthurt" types were probably pussies to begin with who probably joined the service for a couple years, were lucky enough to do nothing more dangerous that push a broom, then got the hell out as fast as they could.

This Douglas Ducote dipshite who was in the news recently over some flag BS at a McDonald's somewhere is most probably Exhibit A of this type.
