re: How Is Baseball Attendance Calculated?
Posted by JustSmokin on 4/24/24 at 12:15 pm
The NCAA attendance report is paid attendance. LSU baseball stopped reporting actual attendance a long time ago. I think it was shortly after the new box opened. They would include both actual and paid in the box score.
Not aware of any school reporting actual these days....

[quote]Tiger Stadium beer going up now
Due to employee theft[/quote]
I worked concessions when it was all cash and was surprised by how little theft was going on. Any losses were deducted from the groups/vendors commission so they watched their money like a hawk.
Now, I was a bit surprised that...

re: 2023 LSU WBB won Natty but lost nearly $8M

[quote]They do starting this fall.[/quote]
The new deal is a lot more money for the non-revenue sports but it is just for the NCAA championships (postseason). They considered giving wbb their own deal but left it as is for now.
This should reduce the losses of some of the non-revenue sports but ...

Finebaum is 2-6 so that's not the issue. The guide shows a live SEC Now show from 10:30-1. The LSU game will start at 1.
Edit: To clarify, the game comes on SECN at 1 already in progress....

re: Anyone have experience with getting a hip replacement?
Posted by JustSmokin on 3/11/23 at 8:27 am
My 88 y/o mom recently had a partial hip replacement (ball portion) after a fall. She spent 2 days in the hospital then a week in a rehab facility. Once home she had physical therapy twice a week. Within a month she was able to get around with her walker, which she used before the fall. It took abou...

re: Indiana jumps LSU WBB in AP Poll; officially No. 1 vs. No. 3 in Columbia
Posted by JustSmokin on 2/7/23 at 9:47 am
[quote]Teams that have lost are in front of us.[/quote]
Only 1 team, Indiana with 1 loss. For the record, LSU is ranked 3 in the net rankings. A 3 loss uconn is ahead of LSU.
None of this matters as LSU control its fate. Even with a USC loss they are likely a 1 seed as long as they win the games...
re: Is there a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers?
Posted by JustSmokin on 2/7/23 at 5:27 am
Center for Medicare Services (CMS) still has a mandate for all healthcare facilities that participate in the Medicare program. The House passed a bill last week (along party line) to eliminate the mandate. The Senate is not expected to vote on the bill.
During the debate a GOP rep pointed out tha...

I don't mind such a rule in the SEC tourney when they play 4 games a day lasting late into the night. But I dislike it as a general rule. Good time to get the backup some work, esp the young pitchers. ...

The NCAA can't simply ignore the courts. That's not an option.

It wasn't an option. The NCAA's refusal to see the train coming down the track is why we are here. They had years to formulate a policy for NIL as a case worked its way through the courts. They did nothing and now it's a t...
