re: Ole Miss Signs Former Jazz Player

Signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Jazz.
The first two sources that I came to said that he did not sign anything. That seems to be the dividing line. Did you sign any type of contract or not? It appears that he did not.

I just doubt it’s that clear. And when it’s murky, there is legal risk. Is it worth it?
It’s not. At a minimum, if they play these guys, who are primarily depth pieces anyway, I hope LSU makes sure that other SEC schools are also playing former NFL players.. You don’t want to be the only school to do this. It’s not worth the risk. And it’s not worth the PR nightmare, especially when you already have a great roster.

I’m not a lawyer but I don’t need to be to know LSU isn’t stupid enough to burn itself down over a couple of late player additions.
I sincerely hope this is true, but I wouldn’t underestimate what can happen when pride gets involved.

Now the CFP committee is looking at sanctions. We have the highest paid roster in college football and possibly the highest paid coaching staff. I don’t know why we’re risking any of this.

Whats so hard to understand that this is a ONE TIME situation. There is NO FUTURE for this scenario !!!!!!!!!
I understand what you are saying. I would love to have this approved as a one time scenario, and then no one else will ever ask for it again. But I think people will ask for it again. All anyone will remember is that players cut from the NFL came back to college. You clearly have more faith in people than I do.

The whole issue this year is that these guys did not think they had any remaining eligibility at the time that they attempted to play professionally, and that is not a situation that is likely to be repeated.
I understand what the situation is, but it’s much cleaner to simply say that we aren’t allowing former NFL players to come back to college. Once you enter the draft, you can’t come back. End of story. If you make an exception once, people will want an exception in the future. It used to be once you signed with an agent, you couldn’t come back. That was the universal rule, but with NIL everyone has an agent. There have to be some freaking rules to stop all of this insanity.

Nooooo, this is only a circus for THIS year. Lane Kiffin himself said that he would not try to do this any other year.
You can’t really believe that. Yes, he would. They all would. Once you set the precedent that it’s okay to get cut from the NFL and return to college, it’s difficult to roll it back. I understand what the SEC is doing. It’s sucks for those kids in the 2022 class.
re: This isn't a hill worth dying on....
Posted by pelicanpride on 8/26/26 at 4:10 pm to tiger81
Absolutely right. I don’t understand why people are so upset about this. Kiffin tried to exploit a loophole, which is great. That’s his job, but I am glad the loophole is now closed for everyone. Do you really want every player with extra eligibility coming back to play college ball if he gets cut from an NFL roster? It would be a circus every single year. Players would intentionally leave college early to test out the NFL and then return to college if unsuccessful. It sucks for those 2022 players, but this is about more than just them or LSU. I don’t blame Kiffin for trying, but it’s over. Move on.

re: Electric bikes - what are the laws?
Posted by pelicanpride on 5/16/26 at 12:35 pm to countryboycansurvive
My middle school boy was hounding me for one for nearly 2 years. I finally got him a class 2 e-bike. Those are legal where we live in Texas. They make me nervous, but I have to say he’s been out of the house and out and about with his friends all the time since I got it. It gives him an extra level of freedom. He can go so much farther on it than he would ever go on a regular bike.
We say that we want the kids off their screens. Well, he’s off his screens now.

This is the best site that I could find to break the laws down by state. LINK
For Texas specifically:
Texas designates three classes of electric bicycles:
Class 1: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the electric bicycles reaches 20 mph.
Class 2: Bicycle equipped with a throttle-actuated motor, that ceases to provide assistance when the electric bicycle reaches 20 mph.
Class 3: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the electric bicycle reaches 28 mph.
You must be 15 or older to operate a Class 3 electric bicycle, although a person under 15 may ride a Class 3 electric bicycle as a passenger, if the e-bike is designed to carry more than one person.
The state department or local authority with jurisdiction can implement certain restrictions, such dedicated mountain bike trails. Electric bicycles generally may not be restricted in places where bicycles are allowed to operate. When in doubt, check
for local rules and regulations.

Stuff to do on and around campus
Posted by pelicanpride on 4/16/26 at 8:56 am
I’m taking my two middle school sons to the LSU baseball games on Friday and Saturday. This will be the first time that I’ve attended an LSU baseball game since the final series in the old Alex Box (when I was still a student). I also haven’t been on campus in close to 15 years. We are staying in Lod Cook. I thought that would make it easier to get around. When we aren’t at the games, any suggestions for things to do for boys that age? I thought we just walk around and check out campus. (My oldest is primarily interested in what we plan to eat.)

And our baseball and football fields are useless to them. There’s an extremely high concentration of Indian Americans in the county who are taxpayers. As long as the cricket facilities are being regularly utilized, I have no problem with it, and my tax money is being spent on it. Just don’t build shite that won’t be utilized.

I never planned on respecting them
Dating a guy for a little while is meant to filter out guys like you. That’s the strategy working effectively. If a guy doesn’t like a girl or is a dickhead like you, he will move on and quit wasting her time. That’s the whole point of making him wait. It used to work very well, and if women aren’t doing this anymore, they are setting themselves up to get strung along.

Amateurs. You are supposed to date him for a bit before sleeping with him. If he isn’t willing to do that, he doesn’t like you, and if he is willing to do that, he won’t respect you for sleeping with him without any commitment.
