Fools and their money...more at 5

There's a couple websites that do CBB metrics, but I use EvanMiya

ESPN Bet has atrocious promos and boosts

"Here's a 20% for your parlay, 4+ legs minimum, each leg (-200) or better, and it has to be a SGP"
No wonder why people are losing

Not to mention that you have to be careful of how big of a parlay you hit using their promos. They will pull your promos in a heartbeat if they catch you doing too well with them. They started doing mass promo pulls a few months ago and once I saw that I knew they were done for.

Listened a bit to his forum earlier today. He talked A LOT about the satellite campuses (particularly mentioned Eunice, Alexandria, and UNO quite a bit). On the surface that's not a bad thing and can actually be a very good thing. But my concern is that he wants to focus on these smaller schools because that's what he's more comfortable with coming from Mcneese as opposed to being involved in the day to day of the BR campus. But the reality is, until they make the decision to split the roles and have a chancellor for BR, managing the system from a "bottom up" perspective as opposed to "top down" by focusing on satellites first and the main campuse second seems like it could potentially lead to some serious issues

Well, he is also saying that the buyout funds were NOT secured before BK was fired. Whoever made THAT decision needs to be fired immediately.... you absolutely never fire a coach with a contract like that without securing the funds FIRST

Yeah, mark me down as being skeptical that Landry is being fully truthful here

Saw this post this morning from a friend that shared it so I went to the 13th Gate's website. They do not claim that its a real seance. They explicitly say multiple times that its a theatrical act that includes light and sound affects which is part of the reason for the warning. I understand what the priest is saying here and anyone who really thinks that this is a true seance should avoid it. But to me this is nothing more than an interactive scary "movie".

he comes up gimpy

hate to say it - but I have suspicion he is faking that limp a number of times.

---

I have that same opinion. It doesn't matter where or how hard he seems to get hit, he gets up limping and it seemingly disappears by the time the ball is snapped for the next play. I have no idea whether its on purpose or subconscious, but to me if his knee or ankle was truly injured to the point that he was limping that badly he would at least be pulled for a play to evaluate him, yet he stays in and as I said, the injury seems to disappear after he makes a good play

Easy make each sport its own P&L center that will weed out a lot of the non revs(WBB lost $8M, Gymnastics, Golf, etc). You make money or break even, otherwise it’s on you as the coach/team to win and create a positive revenue source. That’s running a true business but then politics, favors and title 9 get involved and it screws up things.

Hate to tell you, but you could also kiss baseball good bye as well with this mindset (depending on the year)

What exactly has Tate been doing? I’m asking in good faith. I don’t keep up closely


LSU Sets Historic Record for Research Activity at $488 Million LINK

AI provided this one, but enrollment is at record highs

quote:
LSU broke its previous enrollment record in Fall 2023, reaching a total of 39,419 students. This included 32,666 undergraduate students and 6,753 graduate students, with 3,786 enrolled in LSU Online. The previous record was 37,354 students in Fall 2022. LSU also saw a record-breaking freshman class in Fall 2021.

Add in making arguably the largest push in LSU's history in campus improvements. Before he took over, the maintenance backlog for LSU was into the hundreds of millions of dollars and the masterplan had sat virtually untouched for years. Since he took over they have built two new dorms, renovated multiple other dorms, remodeled the Art & Design Complex, fully renovated the Food Science building, are in the process of building a multi-disciplinary science building, renovated the vet school, and are preparing to build a new library in the coming year just to name a few. And that's all within 3.5 years.

All this was without significantly raising the cost for attendance. So not only was he fundraising at high levels, he was putting the money into action

You're one lucky man
