We should have hired Schlossnagle, but Woodward didn't even interview him.

Don't go to Dallas. You'll miss it.
The meet is at that new building in Fort Worth, Dickies Arena. Beautiful new place.
There were lots of empty seats at Thursday's sessions, and there are sure to be many more with the Oklahoma peop...
re: Jeff Landry: Here's what my position on LSU and the national anthem really means
Posted by PurpleExile on 4/15/24 at 5:18 pm
How to end this:
1, Put small USA flag sticker on back of football helmets.
2, Team stays in locker room during anthem (just as TV script dictates) and then have one football player lead team out of the tunnel carrying American flag.
3, Ignore everything Landry says from now on.
If we did ...

DelRosario: big, slow, no vertical whatsoever, tries to reach over rebounders instead of fighting for position, has a nice smile, improved some but needs to improve a lot more if she expects to start next season.

re: So what’s next for HVL
Posted by PurpleExile on 4/5/24 at 1:05 pm
She needs to go somewhere and forget about learning how to be a point guard.
I'm going to guess she ends up at a Big Ten school, where she can be a shooting guard and where her style of play will fit in. The Big Ten has a lot of white players. Seems like a good match.

re: Scott Woodward responds to Gov. Landry
Posted by PurpleExile on 4/5/24 at 12:39 pm
Woodward's measured response reflects the greater worry -- that Landry wants to run the university. He wants to run everything in the state, whether he knows nothing about it or not. Because by saying they "run" everything, he is telling his supporters exactly what they want to hear.
They want to ...
re: Layoff Van lithe.
Posted by PurpleExile on 3/31/24 at 1:47 am
HVL hustles on defense as much as anyone, especially considering the type of quicker point guards she has to face. Van Lith gets screened all the time, and she hustles through it and still stays in front of her opponent.
She came in and totally shut down that Jones girl who was getting all the thr...
re: ESPN's Kornheiser backs Washington Post integrity amidst Kim Mulkey's allegations
Posted by PurpleExile on 3/28/24 at 12:09 am
I can't help but feel that LSU fans (and Mulkey) are worrying far too much about this.
She is a polarizing figure. She was at Baylor, too.
She is confrontational and lacks a certain amount of "social polish."
If you listen to Mulkey on a regular basis, it's guaranteed that she will make you wi...

Chairbacks throughout the stadium would be a much appreciated touch.
It would reduce capacity, sure, but when do we ever need 102,321?

re: NIT: LSU Men hosting North Texas in Opening Round, Tuesday at 6 PM CT, SECN/ESPN+
Posted by PurpleExile on 3/17/24 at 8:47 pm
Some of you are insufferable.
North Texas has an actual trophy from winning the NIT championship last season. LSU last year, on the other hand, had one of its worst basketball seasons ever.
And we're going to demean this NIT matchup?
I just hope we win a game (or hopefully two).

Victor Rojas was a longtime TV play-by-play guy for the LA Angels. He's very good.
He knows baseball, for sure. Whether he knows the players' parents names or any Skip anecdotes is up to him.

re: A.P. runs hit piece on Mulkey
Posted by PurpleExile on 3/12/24 at 8:27 pm
It was easy for Staley to be "classy" after the game, because her team won, plus she knew her player had delivered the worst blow.
It's always easier for the victor to fake being gracious. But we know Staley -- she was probably gloating and saying "we whipped their asses" all the way back to Col...
re: Ronnie Rantz tonight
Posted by PurpleExile on 3/9/24 at 12:31 am
Wait a minute. You guys are gonna hate on Ronnie Rantz, but you love Doug Moreau doing football?!
Rantz is fine. He's LSU. He's Louisiana. He's one of us.
Rollins and Ben are the best, but Ronnie fills in just fine.
Let me say again, though: If you don't like what you're hearing on TV, yo...
re: SLU broadcast
Posted by PurpleExile on 3/6/24 at 11:21 pm
Sitting here in a hotel room about 1,500 miles from Hammond, La., I turned the game on about midway, and it took me awhile to figure out if this was an SLU telecast or a Lynn Rollins impersonator. That's how hard they were trying to be objective, even though their team was on the brink of a memorabl...

I turned down the sound and listened, as I always do, to the LSU radio broadcast.
I like hearing the game from an LSU point of view.

re: Big year for Pearson incoming
Posted by PurpleExile on 2/5/24 at 2:11 pm
I've been a huge Josh Pearson fan and I think he's going to have a big year. He has a great swing with above-average batspeed from the left side.
He may not reach that 1st or 2nd round that you're talking about, but 3rd round is definitely a possibility.

It's worth listening to (or watching) because it's about the baseball team. How many other schools have podcasts devoted to their baseball teams?
I actually like Musso. He seems like a good kid.
It's Theriot who makes me turn the dial every week. He is always unprepared. His takes are just pl...
