re: LSU WR’s at the combine

I can see Zavion sticking on with a team as a special teams/Gadget player. That’s a great time for him!


Same. Think he made himself some cash today.

I'd also be curious to know if Nuss compensation would change if he was out for the season.


Considering his agent is Trace Armstrong, I would find this highly unlikely.

last night St Louis walked off Kinder in extras at McNeese. Very Exciting game. St louis will be a force come playoff time. Lots of seniors and pitching depth.


Agree, this is their best team in several years. They play Barbe on Monday. It's early, but Barbe's offense looks to be a bit better this year than the last two. If that holds, they are also going to be very tough to beat. Last year, they scored 9 runs in six playoff games and still made the semi-finals against the eventual champs, Sam Houston.

Gov. Landry avoided the talk of Louisiana's litigation scene, ESPECIALLY as it pertains to lawsuits against the energy industry in the state


100% accurate. He’s tried to be pro-energy yet has done nothing to curb litigation against energy. The general sentiment out there is that if you drill, you are going to get sued. You can follow all of your permits and not spill a drop and you may still end up getting sued, especially in southern part of the state where there are wetlands.

at the risk of a ban and possible relinquishment of my baw card, I see no harm in boiling in seasoned water and dusting them, I like 'em spicy, I also doctor up some remoulade sauce with Tabasco to dip 'em in


Dusting is perfectly fine if followed by hitting it with an acidic liquid like a lemon/lime/light vinegar mix. It will dissolve the dusted seasonings and no one will even know you dusted it but you get all of the flavor/spice. It’s my favorite way to do it.

Kelly tried, give the man a break.


I think he did his first two years and didn't get enough credit for making it to Atlanta his first year. But he checked out after, IMO confirming the rumors that he had told people at ND that he only planned on coaching for another few years. Woody made him an offer that he couldn't refuse. His heart was not into a long stint at LSU. He was about ready to hang it up when he got here.

Geez. He's special.

Yes but highly unlikely that it goes through


Agree. Of the things owners will likely want in the next CBA, I doubt this one ranks very high. As Project said, it was a trial balloon. The owners are leaking everything they want. They will get some, but not close to all. I think this is one they quietly move on from early in the process.

They were studs at 12 but just solid in HS? I honestly lost track of them.


One of the players was committed to LSU but battled injuries. Think he is in JUCO. Several others signed with JUCOs and DII schools. Solid high school careers but none were really stars or big time prospects except the one I mentioned earlier.

Ive got the Tors in that one.


Maybe if they can bring back Jake Brown and clone him a couple of times.

BBCOR bats are getting hotter every year but that’s still incredibly hot.


Yup. We start seeing too many exit velos in that range, they will scale the bats back once again.

Fewer boys grow up playing tackle football, so fewer carry that lifelong passion forward. The pros stay a spectacle, but the deep cultural hold slips away generation by generation.


No. NFL minimum is $840,000. P5 college players are now getting compensated close to $100,000 with rev share. There will always be enough players willing to take the risks that come along with football. The demographic pushing their kids away from football, upper to upper-middle class whites, is not where the talent pool comes from.

True.

False. Not the reason. He was never going to because it hurts too many of his political allies who are part of big business. You are a complete fool if you thought otherwise.

I don’t think I would send my kids there because imo HS is about more than pure academics and sports. Lots of other experiences that shape your future that those kids are missing out on.


That would be my biggest issue. And I don't think getting an elite team together to beat traditional high schools is going to get them any more prepared for the next level. Something that Jay Johnson said that I completely agree with is that jumping from high school to the SEC is the biggest jump they will have in their baseball careers. Much more steep of an incline than going from college ball to professional ball unless Rob Manfred decides to whack a couple of levels of minor league ball and they have to start in AA. Been in the Lake Charles area a long time and have seen a ton of "can't miss" prospects that couldn't hit their weight in college and some never heard from again. And that's not the fault of the whatever high school they attended. It's just that hard. Many just can't generate the bat speed to catch up to what is being thrown in big time college ball.

Roid rage.

I can't watch the video right now, but isn't this right around the OJ chase?


I think it was the day after. On June 17, you had Griffey tying Ruth's record for fastest to 30, Palmer playing his last round in a US Open, start of the first World Cup on US Soil, the OJ Chase, and an NBA Finals game. It was unbelievable day.

Jon Bel led the state for 8 of the last 10 years.
His stamp is all over our economy.


This is true. Problem is that Landry has done nothing to remove one of things that was a big part of Jon Bel's stamp, a lawsuit happy environment that is detrimental to growth in some fields.
