Money is created by their entertainment value whether you like it or not. As soon as people pay big money to watch organic chem lab performances, they can make their own sustainable collective.

What I’m suggesting is taking the burden off of non-athletic alumni and make the program self sustained. What would be the problem with this? Believe it or not, the university makes money off of the football program.
Not going to happen. Let’s face it that most of these guys are no longer amateur by definition. The step of the University being able to pay directly out to the players cemented their professional status. Amateurs are only the guys who aren’t being paid.
Idea - Former LSU athletes donate 3% of their future pro salaries to current players of their sport.

Former LSU players sign up as agreement for taking from the collective during their time here at LSU to donate as tax deductible 3% to the current athletes in their sport.

Makes the sport self sustained and benefits everyone on some level.

Athletes in the 3% Club are recognized by the university for their contributions.

Would add up to about 9 million this year from the NFL salaries. Not sure what MLB/NBA/etc. would look like.
That’s not really accurate anymore. Look at the last few years — the Bengals have made major strides that show ownership does care about winning. They drafted Joe Burrow and surrounded him with weapons like Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and a rebuilt offensive line. They also spent serious money in free agency for once — like signing guys like Trey Hendrickson and Orlando Brown Jr. Plus, they upgraded their facilities and finally committed to building an indoor practice facility, which was a longtime complaint. You don’t make those moves if you’re just trying to coast.
If either of the coordinators were the head coach you lose a couple of games. Orgeron was necessary and deserves credit.
Orgeron obviously isn’t a pro coach, but Dan Campbell does well with that level of outward intensity.

To be clear I’m not saying Joe isn’t intense,I’m saying he is introverted. He needs a loud coach.
I’m watching a little bit of the QB show on Netflix this morning and Burrow is so easy going which is why he gets the Joe Cool moniker. I just wish they would move on from Taylor so Burrow could win a couple of rings. He needs an alter ego coach like Orgeron to make the Bengals successful while he is there. Having two guys steer the ship the way him and Taylor do is the reason they start so slowly and can’t finish. No sense of urgency at any moment it seems. Burrow and Orgeron were just the perfect fit for each other and the talent around them helped, obviously.

Jay Johnson/LSU vs. Coastal

How much will the announcers make this a story tonight? Last NC the Chickens won was after beating LSU in the Supers and Jay in the finals.

Seems irrelevant but there is a revenge factor tonight.

Deichman
Fraley
Robertson
Papierski
Poche
Duplantis
Freeman
Lange
Gilbert
Latz


Can this version get it done?


Numbers look pretty good and has an even better handlebar mustache. Any insight on his stuff?

Texas Artificial Turf

How do you make artificial turf slow? It must be like playing on a giant sponge. I’ve never seen so many liners to the outfield get cutoff without going to the fence.

What is the number?
Not enough in this lineup. Being a national brand is nice, but the roots of this team should be from Louisiana. Weird seeing more PA and CA kids than the LA ones. Coach Johnson can learn from Coach Kelly.

We finish 19-12 (11-7) and get a 20th win in the SEC tournament we are in.

Remaining Schedule

Posted by chucknorris89 on 2/21/24 at 10:26 pm
Vs Miss St
Vs Georgia
At Vandy
At Arky
Vs Mizzou

Could finish 10-8 or better. That would be quite impressive.
Look Duplantis is a tiger through and through but he didn’t get the ring like the boys above did. That’s the point of the post.

Beloso, Morgan, Guidry, Dugas, Travinski, Pearson, Jobert, Milazzo and company have a chance to realize the vision they imagined in their heads playing cupball when they were 6. What an opportunity.

It isn’t a degradation on the others, it’s just a statement of fact that these boys have it in their Louisiana blood.

Louisiana born and raised Tigers

To the guys on this team who grew up in Louisiana have been dreaming of wearing the purple and championship gold on this stage since they were little leaguers. One of the home grown boys seems to always come through. Represent the homeland boys!

Houma, New Orleans 2x, West Monroe, Zachary, Slidell all likely in the starting lineup today. With a state population smaller than many metroplexes across other states it just means more to you boys.

Become synonymous with names like Rantz, Byrd, Mouton, Ogea, Johnson, Morris, Barbier, Coogan, Theriot, Fontenot, Pontiff, Jones, Schimpf, Mahtook, Mitchell and Nola.

All hometown celebrities.

Geaux tigers!

Sorry Megan Moroney but

I met somebody and he's got blue eyes

He wins in Omaha and he don’t make me cry
He ain't from where we're from
But he feels like home, yeah
He's got us doin' things we’ve always done

I’m wearing LSU gold for him…

Suck that tigah, vols
Interesting considering the media had them so low coming into the season and finishing 6th in the west. They only had 1 player named to the preseason All-SEC teams. Two quality wins so far for the bulldogs.
