re: Does LSU baseball have the worst defensive outfield in the past few decades?
Posted by Tiger 1964 on 3/25/25 at 8:23 am
My observation about ALL the outfielders is that they are usually very nonchalant about flyballs...using one hand and not covering with the offhand, Thus leading to dropsies,
re: Who is more revered in LSU Basketball history, Shaq or Pistol Pete?

I did. He used to fill the cow palace up. Then the new arena with his name. He could make any shot.
Shaw could not make free throws. He is a great asset for LSU, but no way the ball player that Pete was.

This is a TRUE statement. The online menu states that the shrimp are imported. Really sucks that a LA company imports shrimp when most of their restaurants are close to the gulf and local fishermen. I have stopped going to eat there because of this.
re: Strike zone college vs MLB
Posted by Tiger 1964 on 5/12/24 at 9:42 pm
No that is not my question. It just APPEARS to me that the upper line for college is the armpit whereas for MLB it is the belt. I had no idea that there would be a difference.
Strike zone college vs MLB

Can somebody educate me as to the difference between the strike zone for college and MLB. Also, why there is a difference. between the two.
re: I have never seen a coach almost universally hated in the media quite like Kim Mulkey
Posted by Tiger 1964 on 4/3/24 at 9:32 pm
I agree.
You bring up "rabid frenzy". Have you seen the multitude of posts on FB calling for everything from taking their wins away to barring them from ever playing again? And blaming it all on Kim, that she should be fired. Of course, they
manage to throw in disparaging remarks about LSU, its president, and Louisiana's people.
This volume of vitriol is unprecedented.

The smell there on Sunday morning after a game!!!
re: Why can't we field a punt?

Well it helps to look the ball into your hands. You could see from the rear replay that just before the ball arrived, his head was looking at the tacklers and not the ball.
re: On both consecutive infield popups the ball landed in the heel of the glove.

"all fielders" means outfielders too. Morgan has come close to dropping a few because of one-handed catches when he was standing still.
re: The 23' QB competition will be one to watch
Posted by Tiger 1964 on 1/12/23 at 9:19 am
Correct!!! There will be no real competition!!! Kelly will start JD even if JB were available to play.
re: Did anyone else have a "Campus Job" while at LSU? Do they still have them?

In the early 60's I worked as a parking director for football games at Tiger stadium. I've forgotten what the pay was.

Sad but probably close to the truth.
re: Thoughts on Colby Richardson’s first game at cornerback?
Posted by Tiger 1964 on 9/9/22 at 8:08 am
That is a true statement about never looking back for the ball. Interference penalties will surely follow.
re: Why did Kelly not try QB 1B at some point in the Game?
Posted by Tiger 1964 on 9/5/22 at 11:03 am
BK said that we would probably see Nuss also.
As terrible as the play was during the first half, why not try another QB that is supposedly almost equal?
As I stated before, FSU QB was under pressure by our defense all game long but still managed to make throws for positive yardage.
You cannot win consistently if the majority of rushing yards are by the QB. No matter how great you think the 4th quarter was, we still lost the game.
One of the purported keys to winning was to get the ball into the hands of our playmakers. Well, that did not happen, and QB1 was ONE of the reasons it didn't happen. So sorry that you think that my question was dumb. But I do not relish watching another game with QB1 using only his legs to try and win the game.

The FSU QB received pressure all night long but had the inclination and ability to find his open receivers and throw to them instead of always running.

Posted by Tiger 1964 on 9/5/22 at 10:02 am
Kelly has described our 2 QB's as 1A and 1B. I wonder if he ever had the thought of giving QB 1B a shot at playing. Surely he could not have done any worse than what we saw out of QB 1A during the 1st half and most of the 2nd half. This LSU team will not go far so long as the majority of rushing yards are by the QB.

Kelly answered this question for you. He said that there will be only 1 STARTER and explained why. There will be no 2 QB plan. I do not take that to mean that there will be no special QB substitutions when called for. The bulk of the plays will be designed for the starting QB.
Watch his post game video where this question was asked.
