I've never seen a digital parking pass
This is the first year that I've seen them. I always thought they'd keep the physical passes b/c it helps them limit traffic through campus based on the color of the tag hanging from your mirror.

Who told him that?? Woodward? BK? Probably nobody
Burrow and Daniels were both told their numbers weren't going to be reused after winning the Heisman. How are you even arguing this at this point? Plenty of shite to argue here; that isn't it.

you dumb frick
I know what the written policy is, dumbass. Do you honestly think no one has wanted #9 for football in the past 6-7 years? We know of at least one baseball player who asked for #3 and was told no. Pickett was told in 2025 that he couldn't have #5. My entire point is that LSU has a written policy stating these numbers should be available BUT they have not been letting anyone use them. Kiffin wouldn't even comment on whether or not he would give someone #9. I have no problem with #5 being used, but 9 should be available as well. Any baseball player who wants to wear 3, should be allowed.
As I said, LSU has some fault in this, b/c they aren't enforcing their own rules.

Daniels looks like a dip shite because of all this. He blew this up when it didn’t need to be.
But if LSU had clearcut policies, this would never be an issue. LSU created this issue because we have an unwritten rule about not letting people use the jerseys of guys like Joe Burrow, Dylan Crews, and Jayden Daniels. The numbers should be retired or let others use them or define it in a way that says how long they are withheld. But LSU told Daniels that his number wouldn’t get used then they let someone use it.

Also, baseball ticket staff leave after middle of 4th to 5th inning and you can go in and watch the end of the game.
Where I enter, there is usually a staff member there until the end of the game. They are mostly there to make sure you are not trying to sneak booze in. But I’ve talked my way in.
The parking lot attendants usually leave after like the first or second inning. So if you’re late to a game, help yourself to a nice parking spot. Only exception is when there is a doubleheader. They leave during the second game.

This is accurate. I don’t know why you were being downvoted. I take the kids to get the free giveaways before some games, when is something they want (ie hats and jerseys). We go early, scan our tickets to get the giveaway and then scan out to go back to the parking lot and hang out.

COMPLETELY AGREE. ITS A frickING TEAM SPORT. It makes zero sense to retire a number strictly off of an individual award regardless of what award. I will die on this hill, JD5 had the 2nd best season from the QB in LSU history but he did not have the 2nd greatest season of any LSU player in LSU history. TM7's 2011 season had a larger impact on team success at a position that doesn't touch the ball every play was better than JD5's 2023 season.
:lol:
For starters, LSU doesn't retire numbers. We retire jerseys and for some reason, we hold them out of ciculation for a while. Next, your logic is that retiring a number, which is recognition of an individual, should only be done if that person was fortunate enough to have enough talent around him to succeed as a team, correct?
If Joe Burrow had the 2023 defense backing him, would he win a natty? And if not, do we retire his jersey b/c he couldn't win the natty with a shitty defense?
I hate to break it to you guys, but if winning a natty is the bar to have the individual recognition of having your number or jersey retired, you might want to alert LSU. They have been doing it wrong for decades. We may have time to stop them from recognizing Bert Jones in November. Bert never sniffed a natty, so I guess he doesn't deserve it. :banghead:

You are an idiot if you think Jayden isn't used as a recruiting tool constantly. How many players do you think we've recruited that aren't reminded that LSU has had a couple of Heismans recently? They aren't on campus long before they are shown those trophies. And you want to remove that to make what point, exactly?

Why should Daniels dictate that nobody else wears a number at LSU? Because he won a Heisman?
I'm not saying his number is off-limits, bc I don't agree with retiring numbers. But LSU hasn't given out Crews' or Burrow's numbers. It sounds like Daniels was told no one would wear his, but we don't know for how long that promise was made. It couldn't / shouldn't have been made permanently.
Personally, I think Daniels' handling of this is shitty, as I've said more than once. But this all starts with Pickett demanding a number that he knew a year ago was off limits. Before Kiffin gave it out and this started some shite show, LSU should have put something out about how long a number can be out of circulation, even if that answer is never. But you have Jay Johnson (yes, different sport) on the record saying that he wouldn't give out Crews' number to a recruit who wanted it.

Take away Daniels and instead of playing for the Cheez it Championship were playing for a weedeater in Shreveport... big difference
Swap Dave Aranda for Matt House in 2023, and we are playing for another Natty. Daniels was elite. Let's not pretend that he wasn't. The season is forgettable b/c it was the worst defense in LSU history. Quit shitting on Daniels b/c Matt House ruined that season.

LSU hasn't retired any numbers for the last 25 years. But that doesn't mean Jay is going to let someone wear #3 this year. Nor should Kiffin let someone wear 9 or 5. The grace period needs to be more than a few years before someone else puts that jersey on.

* Under a provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws established Jan. 1, 2007, the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007. The numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports.

This isn't Daniels or Pickett's fault. it's Brian Kelly and staff's fault for making promises they couldn't keep.
They all share in some blame.
Daniels is handling of this is pretty shitty. But he has the right to be upset. We won't be allowing anyone to wear 9 in football or 3 in baseball. 5 should be the same.
Kelly let someone make a promise they couldn't keep, but at least he did the right thing once Pickett got to campus.
Pickett should just wear another fricking number and stop whining about a number.
Kiffin should have sacked up and told Pickett to be a man and just wear another number

small chance, but id lol if DJ ended up having two incredible seasons winning multiple awards and lsu decided to retire the number 5 under his name
As stated many time already... LSU does not retire numbers anymore. So Pickett could get his jersey retired, but not the number. Jayden will likely get his jersey retired eventually. Same with Burrow.
If someone promised a baseball recruit #3, would you be ok with it? Crews will never get his number retired, so should Jay give it out to some kid? Of course not. It's why Danny Dickinson wore #14 and not #3.

So which is it? Should we not care about former players who were made promises, or should we care about them and welcome them back by reopening practices?

Was he not consulted about Picket getting the number?
A quick phone call could have avoided this
Read the article. Pickett was promised the number but "Kelly chose not to issue it to him because Daniels wasn't on board with Pickett wearing his number."
Daniels was promised no one would wear the number. Pickett was told he could. Either way, Kelly (who I despise) made the right decision by sticking with his original promise to Daniels.

Yikes. So did Kelly promise 5 to Pickett while also promising Jayden that no one would wear 5?
To be clear, this is a very shitty way for Daniels to handle it. BUT there is a lot of blame to be shared. Before you guys defend Pickett just b/c he's a current player, remember that he couldn't wear it last year, so he absolutely knows the situation. Someone promised it to him. We don't know if it was Kelly or an assistant.
Regardless, I think it's fricked up that we are letting someone wear #5 this soon. I know the number can't be retired, but this is either Kiffin not giving a shite about a former player or Pickett strong-arming Kiffin over a jersey number or maybe both. Recruits get promised shite all the time. Is Kiffin going to honor all the promises of playing time every recruit was given to get them to campus? :lol:

You are dividing the tradition fund by 7. Are you saying the La Tech and McNeese tix are worth $190-200 each ($157 tradition fund plus $30/40?
NO ONE wants to pay above the face value (ticket only) when those tickets are sold. In fact, you are lucky to get face value for those most of the time. Pretending that OP only pays $260 for the Clemson game is absurd.
Last year, I ate $$$ for football, basketball, and baseball when I needed to sell a ticket. No one gave a shite about my wallet then.

Water Parks in the houston area for kids?
Posted by notbilly on 7/2/26 at 8:09 am
We are going to take the kids on a quick trip over the weekend. I figure everything will be crowded, so which water park near Houston is the best for kids in the 8-12 year old range? If I'm missing some, please let me know. We will likely go for 3 nights so we can have 2 days in the park.
Schlitterbahn galveston - Seems to be the best park, but not sure if there is anything else to do around there.
Hurricane Harbor in Spring (Six Flags) - Being near the woodlands is a plus. Other things to do in the area.
Typhoon Texas - looks to be geared to slightly younger kids
