re: Bought tickets to LSU vs USC. When will seatgeek deliver them?
Posted by lapistola on 8/20/24 at 12:27 pm
I messaged them this morning and they said they'll be delivered by 8/31 for "security purposes"

There are some sportsbooks that are first come first served, but a lot of them are reserved ahead of time. It's one of the busiest weekends, especially with LSU and USC being in town, so they will all fill up quickly. I believe Circa and Westgate have a decent number of free seats, but I've heard they fill up well before 9 am.
Caesar's properties have the best website for booking ahead of time. LINK . MGM properties don't seem to have many online options.

re: Lloyds of London Should Be On The Minds...

Yes. They ran a special on it on ESPN once. The payouts only materialize if you never play football again.
There's two different types of policies. Total disability and loss of value.
Total disability is difficult to recover because you have to show a single injury that caused disability. These guys have so many injuries that Lloyds can point to and say that's the reason they weren't drafted/signed. They can also say that the injuries weren't the cause of the guy not being drafted/signed. Basically, it's like most insurance in that they will try to nickel and dime their way out of it and make you get an attorney. But ultimately, they always pay something.
Loss of value is a lot more straightforward, but they're only available to the top tier guys. They basically look at where you're projected to be drafted and insure against any drop in that contract money that's caused by an injury. Much easier to recover but again they have some wiggle room to argue that a drop in the draft was not caused by an injury.
Also, the NCAA allowed these policies to be funded through loans and the schools a long time ago to encourage the athletes to get them.

LSU is a national brand that recruits Houston on the reg. No recruit is coming to LSU from Houston is going to say, ‘The moment I knew I wanted to be a Tiger was watching LSU beat a garbage 0-12 Rice team’.
Of course not, but what does it hurt to get an extra chance for free face time? Your point was that the recruits want to experience Death Valley, but they still will and they'll get an extra chance to see O and the team. There's just not a lot of downsides.
re: I didn't know that LSU pulled their starters towards the end of the Oklahoma game...

This was truly one of the most fun games I've ever been to. We decided to not get too drunk before the game since we couldn't remember the SECCG and we could get some drinks at the game. Well that all went out the window when we were up 21-7 in the 1st quarter and the rest of the game was like one big party. Will never forget that.
Also will never forget a couple of Oklahoma fans we ran into after that were adamant that they would have won if the refs didn't miss that PI call on Stingley. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agreed. Sick of the recruiting argument as an excuse to take road trips to Houston to play games that should be being played in Baton Rouge. No recruit cares if they see LSU play at a neutral site, they want to experience Death Valley.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this allow recruits in the Houston and surrounding area a chance to see LSU and all its staff/players as an unofficial visit? So its basically a free chance for Coach O to get in front of recruits. I think that's a good thing.

re: Can anyone help with seating? Fractured knee and crutches.
Posted by lapistola on 12/26/19 at 9:53 am
You definitely need to get there early. There are only 3 gates and lots of security so it was a giant mass of people trying to get in at the SECCG. Can't imagine that is easy to navigate on crutches.

Posted by lapistola on 12/11/19 at 2:21 pm
I got 4 in 316 for SECCG and 2 in 118 for Peach. Not sure why we got upgraded but I'll take it.

Posted by lapistola on 12/11/19 at 9:28 am
I was Row 12 and had a good view. There is definitely a cutoff point but its not row 10. I'd guess 5-10 rows higher but don't know for sure.

Dude, don't be an idiot. Clemson and Bama played the same A&M team. Clemson held them to 10 (when A&M was ranked highly and had everything in the world to play for). Bama gave up 28.
LSU is the only other team Bama has played in the top 50 in scoring offense. Clemson has played Boston College (33) and Wake Forest (41) and held them to 7 and 3 points, respectively. Clemson defense is objectively better than Bama's.

I've never seen a better physical "competitor" than Bo Jackson. Dude could have focused and dominated anything - track, field, curling, figure skating, whatever. This same injury ended his competitive career quite early (particularly baseball, which he could have played into his 40s).
Now, medical advancements have come along and I wish this particular kid the absolute best, but let's not pretend there is no cause for alarm about his recovery from this specific type of injury.
The hip fracture itself wasn't what ended Bo Jackson's career. It was the loss of blood flow to the joint which killed the bones and kept him from making a full recovery. While that could certainly happen to him, medicine has significantly advanced to prevent it from happening and all indications are that it hasn't and won't happen to Tua.

My wife and I went to Legends for an Auburn game several years ago. Be prepared to be elbow with many people that are not interested in the game and are only interested in talking to other people and not even watching the game. Both upstairs and downstairs were packed, and it seemed like about a dozen people (won't call them fans) were interested in the game. Very disappointing.
I think you went to the wrong Legends, my friend. I've been twice and as someone else said its my next favorite game day atmosphere outside of being in the stadium.
I was there for the Arkansas game in 2013 when it was still the day after Thanksgiving so there was not a huge crowd. Found a table getting there right around kick off. It was still one of the best bars I've ever watched a game in.
Also went there for Auburn game last year. The entire place was buzzing the whole time. Made some new friends and the place erupted when Cole hit the field goal.
re: Betting line continues to move (Update)

Something has to be the impetus for money to flow one direction and cause the line to move. If you will look at my original post you will see that my conclusion, like your most recent one, was that people saw both teams and, using the eye test, started betting on LSU (my further point was it likely had nothing to do with injuries).
The problem with your original post (and the first sentence of this post) was that you made the false assumption that the line automatically moves in the same direction that the money is coming in. There are plenty of instances of the line staying the same or moving in the opposite direction of the money. That is why it is worded incorrectly and caused confusion:

There are guys on Texas' roster that are nicked-up, but no major injuries that would cause a line to move that much in such a short period of time.
