Debaser

There's so much extra money in Hospitals that 2 not-for profits accumulated so much profits that they combined have $250-$300 million in accumulated excess financial assets that are not needed for operations or capital needs. It's not from fee for services, but rather from pooling contracts and pulling down grant revenue from the feds for providing care to patients who have medicaid or medicare. Then came COVID and the CARES act which just poured gas on the money tree. I am happy for LSU I guess but in a bit of a quandry as to whether this is a net good. Like how could this set of circumstances happen? It's pretty crazy.

Cristiano in Houma is an excellent restaurant if you feel like coming down the Bayou. Cinclair in Thibodaux is also really really good if you are looking to come down this way.

Contrary to what I've seen reported, everyone one had on masks and most of them took them off once in their seats. My seats were moved from the bottom of the NE upper bowl to the 9th row of sec 240 and it's the closest I have been to the field. I was sitting among the cut-outs. It was bizarre and other worldly.

I’d counter with the fact the we’ve won all our games by our hustling the other team for rebounds on both ends. So this game seems to be the exception, not the rule.

This. Our defensive effort and attitude was just not there. Seemed like our swagger was lacking. I am confident that Gen Wade will have them playing at a high energy level Saturday. Sometimes it's just not there. Blame the coaches and the players.

Bregman just bailed on the 6 he had in a suite with other LSU athletes and I just got offered them for $4K per tik. I'm covered - but $$$$.

Does LSU not kick the shite out of Florida??

Florida would be better off staying home and praying for a Hurricane to make landfall.

Exactly what I've been saying Tigers by a million.

I left a similar comment re Aramark. That is the absolute worst food and beverage vendor. I am totally serious - I will flat out stop buying tickets to sit in a a fricking sauna to wait in line to buy over-priced bud if LSU fricks this up or allows aramark to frick it up for them. Good luck getting 100K+ folks in TS.

I've held on to my "final 4" for 2 years now. I cannot recall the last time I sat in my seats, but knowing I have them is always a nice backup.

We got an uphill climb for sure, with or without Will Wade. The season was really fun, but it's unlikely we can win versus excellent competition and with officiating blatantly favoring whoever, I mean whoever our opponent is. They're not even going to try to hide it. They've got it in for us boys and that's a tall order.

Think it may the subpoena threat?

That's what I am thinking. I think Wade would be a shoe-in at the very least to be a nominee, but uncertainty with regard to the subpoena - too much smoke there to have a national coaching award winner embroiled in scandal. I hope it's nothing. The thing that really bugs me is this - how does a program make a turn to become a power school - like a KY, Duke, NC, UCLA, etc. - how do you disrupt the flow of talent to the basketball blue bloods? Wade found a way and knows how to coach and now he is being punished for it - daring to push LSU to be the best. I hope he comes out of this unscathed and our program continues its progress because it sure is a lot of fun. He's threatening to upend the status quo and quo is fighting back.
