No one loves a good riot like MAGA


Depends which state you’re in. New York defines a riot as involving 10 or more people. This was four ganging up on 1.

A bit weird that they have a 28yo woman playing an 18yo girl, though.

Agree. It will be the first times games have been missed since 95 (started late due to 94). Remarkable when think about it. They had a work stoppages four times from 1972 - 1990 with two of those resulting in missed games.

A college union/cba is pretty much dead in the water. There is no currently existing path.


Honest Question: Why would they want one? The current system favors the players. They are free agents every year. Why would they want to give that up?

Cult classic but a horrible movie.


Rourke hated the movie and thought it was stupid. That prompted him to sour on Hollywood and start boxing again. He was an accomplished amateur boxer but he decided to box James Toney, who was the middle champion at the time. Toney rearranged his face and prompted his first plastic surgery.

Yup. He wanted Megatron.

Agreed. Get rid of conference championship games, move to a 16 team playoff, and do away with auto bids. Make those 3 changes and I think you have a much better product.


Agree. First two rounds on campus. Crazy that the Top 4 seeds don’t get the millions of dollars in economic benefits for the community. Semi finals on Jan 1 and finals a week later. Or do first three rounds on campus and Championship at a neutral site on or around 1/1.

If you’ve got some data to back that up, it will be the first I’ve seen. So please share.


Just punch it in ChatGPT and you’ll find an abundance of data supporting this.

Overall viewership up 4%-5%

Record number of games drawing over 10M viewers

Double digit growth in streaming minutes

The freaking Pop Tarts Bowl drew 8.7M viewers, the same as Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals.

not according to t.v. rantings.


Yup. There was more eyeballs and time spent watching college football than ever before. That’s what they care about. They don’t care about the passionate fans like the ones on this board. Because at the end of the day, most of those passionate fans are still going watch.

Fantastic athleticism in a boxer I’ve never seen.


That’s what made him so special. He wasn’t the most technically sound boxer but made up for by being arguably one of the most athletic guys in the history of the sport. Once he started to slow down as he aged, it ended fairly quickly. That being said, I don’t think anyone beats a prime Roy Jones at 160 or 168 and I mean ever. Robinson, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard or Duran.

doesn't that process create a highly salty, slushy byproduct that is a problem of its own?


Yes, and the higher the chloride content of the stream being treated, the higher percentage of by product produced. You may only be saving 30% of the original stream if it has a very high salt content.

1. Money by playing home games


Biggest reason. LSU needs lots of home games to pay the bills. It’s better when those home games don’t require a return trip, even if it is a 3 or 4 for 1.

How did Pavia help with this? He went to a JUCO, Chambliss went to a four year college.

scrap all these trash toilet bowls allow teams to scrimmage on their own for estra practice. NGAF about these games anymore.


If they didn’t make money, they would go away. As long as they are turning a nice profit and doing decent ratings, they will remain.

MVB nearly guided us to a victory against 8th ranked Oklahoma @ Oklahoma. As long as he doesn't take 2 series to "settle in" and runs smarter, we will be OK.


lol. He had 96 yards passing on 3.8 yards per attempt.
quote:

It’s interesting because he has a ton of endorsement deals but maybe has fallen off a little as a prospect? Just curious about feedback on him.


Most have covered it in the thread. My two cents was that he probably fell off some due to home much he struggled at the plate at Barbe. He finished the year hitting around .200 was batting 9th by the time the playoffs rolled around. Some were wondering if LSU would back off. But he had an outstanding summer at the plate against competition that likely exceeded what he faced at Barbe. Probably putting too much pressure on himself as opposed to just not being able to handle the pitching, IMO.
quote:

And as you mentioned, if he hits a growth spurt, all bets are off. That would change his football recruiting profile and also boost his draft stock for baseball.


They got overwhelmed in the Quarterfinals by Neville, but I think he scored 15 TDs over the span of his last regular season game and first two rounds of the playoffs. Very, very impressive performances.
