Sowell is the best, and boldest of Constitutional scholars.


Love Thomas Sowell... but he is an economist by education ( and I know... am an old goat and becoming that guy... :lol: ) not a Constitutional Scholar...

Interestingly enough he considers himself a Libertarian politically except for his position on national defense..

All republicans should have voted against it if they care about the constitution.



While I agree with you here its also fair to say the Democrats did not vote against it because of their constitutional convictions..

Fair comment...

Everyone I know that has seen him play say he is remarkably accurate...

But again.. thats not College/SEC football...

They do this because they do not have the seating capacity to generate that on their own...

My only surprise about Sam is the moment seems to big for him. He is clearly rattled early in games and in big moments. For a cfb playoff experienced qb that is shocking to me.



Welcome to the SEC Sam!

As an LSU fan I have two examples of how a great QB can hide coaching deficiencies....

Brett Favre at Southern Miss.... Curley Hallman

Joe Burrow... Coach Orgeron...

I am much more cautious with my coach evals than I used to be...

Fair but if we started doing that there would be no teams in the SEC that aren't under some form of punishment...

Yep... not saying its a slam dunk for him to be the starter but Pop will certainly have something to say about it...

LSU can't take credit for this...

quote:

I agree with that. Moscona mentioned today that the expulsion thing was pushed by a few people who were basically ignorant to the situation and jumped the gun.


I have gone on record to say this whole thing felt like some presidents were responding to headlines without any real knowledge of the facts...

quote:

Absolute horrible leadership from the presidents and Sankey.


IMO... there two things going on here either of which should be grounds for dismissal for Sankey and anyone else instigating this nonsense:

1) Sankey's testimony on the stand concerning 5 for 5 and not being able to describe the difference between an amateur and a professional athlete ( yes I know this is actually 2 different issues... :lol: )

2) Not simply getting on the phone to discuss any "issues" before going nuclear and dragging any dirty laundry out onto the national stage...

The last of these leads me to believe it was done in an effort to embarrass, discredit and damage LSU..

Many years ago.. (as in the 60's) My cousin an I were in the woods with a 22 shooting stuff when my cousin saw a hornets nest hanging in a tree a little ways from where we were.. He thought it would be great to shoot the nest...

Unfortunately, the hornets followed the heat trail of the bullet back to where we were... not a pleasant experience...

That’s the real danger for the SEC. They went to court trying to protect their authority over LSU and may have accidentally put the entire legal structure of the conference on trial. And if a court ever says SEC enforcement is state action, this does not stop with the SEC. The Big Ten, Big 12 and other conferences built around public universities could have the exact same problem.



Without getting into the detailed explanation you gave (and thanks for that...) I have been saying from day one this fight the SEC has chosen is going to end very badly for college sports in general...

Every action they took (until they cooled their jets a little..) was taking them closer and closer to their own demise...

I'm definitely no expert, but I think it would or it at least should give the NCAA some teeth in enforcing the rules and not allowing all these state judges/courts to overturn rules.


So in essence... with federal oversight become a para-judicial system for college sports

Those discussions will continue as the conference and its member universities work toward an appropriate resolution.



There is enough ambiguity to be able to pivot in any direction...

At the moment there is no way to tell what the discussions are inside the room. I would guess there are some members that are hell bent on burning LSU down (TN and MS) and others that are "LSU is compliant and non-defiant, why would you want to do anything other than slap the wrist... Maybe, some in the room want to "watch" LSU over the next couple of weeks to see how we behave to determine if we are truly repentant or simply waiting for a more opportune moment...

Having said all that (all of which is speculative of course...) the problem for all members as I see it is they are not thinking strategically based upon the circumstances as they exist today and the current tragectory of College Football... If they attempt to "protect" the past authoritative position they have enjoyed then they may experience a temporary win but hasten their own demise...

You showed them by not rostering those players. Don't mess with LSU.


The Media made this bigger than it was. LSU (including Kiffin) stated from get-go they would abide the rules of the SEC. However, Sankey and (apparently) a few others panicked and instead of getting on the phone to discuss what was going on and working things out, they went nuclear.

The only thing the was "showed" in all of this is the SEC's butt!

LSU was never an issue in any of this... :lol:

I want LSU and Ole Miss to both line up at full strength and play the game and let the bragging rights go to the winner. I want no excuses either way.
