A great RB for LSU


Not to come off as insensitive but great isn't the word I would use to describe Murphy's time at LSU. He was a depth piece his entire 4 years here, like the 3rd or 4th RB on the depth chart any given year and hardly got any carries. By all accounts he was a good team leadership guy though, hence getting #18 his senior year, but that's really the only noteworthy thing about his time here.

Almost 10 years later and still haven't made a CWS final.


True, but LSU/Arkansas last year felt more like the finals than Coastal did. Just a shame they ended up on the same side of the bracket.

I don't think other conferences can afford it yet.


The major conferences can and it should be in effect for postseason play. I do suppose it could pose problems though like if we have another Troy vs Little Rock super regional and neither team has it. I feel like it should be a thing in Omaha at least

Regarding players betting on their own teams? I doubt it


Right? Didn't Iowa St have some players banned for gambling? Sounds like the Big 12 has taken it seriously in the past, for some reason TTU thinks it shouldn't apply to them though.

Surely LSU must have offered a pretty NIL package to get him to throw his leverage away. Idk what he was projected to be drafted at but if the signing bonus he was projected to get and his offered NIL deal to come back were similar then I guess it just comes down to wanting to play SEC baseball another year rather than the minors which I'm sure is more exciting.

Curiel and Brown are probably projected to get much higher signing bonuses so idk if LSU will be able to make similar offers for them. Although Curiel won't lose leverage by returning, but risking his draft stock as high as it currently is, if he gets injured or something is still quite a gamble. I'd be really shocked if either of them returned.
I hope every TTU athlete demands more money and if they don't get it I guess they'll have to bet money on their own games since that institution allows it.
Even after a couple of days to process the reactions across the sport and administrations of other universities, the Texas Tech AD is making it clear they're willing to die on this hill. Very long worded way of saying they still plan on keeping him on the team and playing. We'll see how it works out for them, especially long term.

We have a Little Rock vs Troy Super Regional

Gotta be the lowest seeded SR of all time right? And I'm here for it.
Really want Troy to win. Not just out of pettiness due to Florida hate, but I really wanna see a Little Rock/Troy super regional and guarantee one of them makes Omaha.

Sorry but the guy that got punched started the whole thing with the face shove. This isn't a game of tag where you can call no tag backs or something. Turning your head away isn't some cheat code against retaliation after you initiate an altercation.

What other sports does this happen in?


I can think of some individual sports where stuff like this occurs. Like in chess, the world champion continues to hold their title while everyone else has to go through the Candidates tournament for the right to challenge for the title, even if the world champion performs bad in other tournaments and other players have higher ELO ratings, he can't lose the title unless beaten in a world champion match by the candidates winner. Or unless you willingly give up your title like Magnus Carlsen did because he got tired of defending it and wanted to play more tourneys and start a family.

You also have golf where former masters winners get a lifetime invite.

I can't think of any team sports that operate this way though. It can work for individual sports because it's the same person year to year, but rosters change too much year to year for it to work for team sports.

I will say Arrambide showed an excellent judgement on challenging, which bodes well for next year


Is this being implemented in the SEC regular season next year? That's great if so

Well at least we won't have our hopes up the whole game having a lead and then blowing it.
