Trey Morgan made the number one top play on SportsCenter this morning for the Durham Bulls

… with a Willie Mays over the shoulder type catch. The SportsCenter guys led it off with this guy is on ‘Top Plays’ so much he needs to start paying utilities!
I think that guy gets a gold glove or two before his MLB career is over. Would not have won our most recent College World Series title without his leather!

re: Seems like Shores’ accuracy is steady improving…

I am not advocating that he be our third starter. I just like the way they’ve brought him along and helped him build his confidence. I think his coming out the pen can be huge for us. If one of our starters has an off game it’s nice to know that we could have someone like Shores who can come out of the pen and play a key role and helping us to win some games.

Long relief is a huge part of doing well in tournaments

… aside from the atrocious meandering strike zone from the umpire last night. Each game he seems to get a little better. Man, if we could get him with good command coming into the SEC tournament and the NCAA tournament he could be a difference maker. You gotta have a big heart for that kid. Coming off injury like that is always rough.
re: Saban expected to be named co-chair of the Presidential Commission studying college sports
Posted by MichiganTiger on 5/8/25 at 6:29 am
Actually, I don’t think Saban’s dislike of NIL has anything to do with ‘now erbody’ gets to pay their players. It’s all about all the extra hustling you have to do. Gone are the days of you sign someone and they’re yours for 3-4 years. Gone are the gray shirts. Instead, now you have to re-recruit your recruits at the end of the season. It’s such a tremendous sea change that I can’t blame him. So what’s the fix? They absolutely need a limit on what schools can pay out total to players. And frick some luxury tax bullshite. They need a hard cap…then kids will be waaaaay less jumpy and transfer prone. With a salary cap…it won’t be the wild, wild west anymore.

Braswell is awake now
The at bat earlier in game 2 when he fouled off a ton of pitches & then put a difficult breaking ball into play was an eye popping at bat for me. I felt like he seemed locked in and really looked phenomenal against one of the best pitchers in the SEC. Next at bat…bomb! He seems to be seeing pitches really well. I hope he keeps this going!
re: Was that the longest HR
Posted by MichiganTiger on 4/26/25 at 7:26 pm
Earthquake, Belle hit a HR over the centerfield fence and cleared the RF fence & hit that pink house! Saw it with my own eyes. My dad told Lantrip they should walk him every time he came up to the plate. Lantrip asked about a bases loaded scenario…my dad said…’then you sure as hell better walk him.’
re: I would love a documentary about TDS

You do not need a documentary. All you need to do is follow tigerdroppings poly board! You can see fullbore Trump Derangement Syndrome as you watch all of the lemmings fall off the cliff with him.
re: Can y’all finally admit that Trump’s wide ranged tariffs were stupid?

It is difficult to say. The claim has been made that many countries have expressed interest in revisiting trade deals. If the claim is true and those, on balance, are more favorable to US manufacturers and consumers then you'd be hard-pressed to call the tariff threats "stupid".
As Trump is reversing course, this is definitely going to be his spin on the situation. He will never admit that this was fool hearty and stupid. He’s simply going to claim victory with some rough outline trade agreements with X number of countries. As we all know, it takes years to actually hammer out trade deals. The spin you’re going to hear is definitely going to be that we got some really great trade deals because of this foolishness, but it’s all a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

But Trump‘s wide ranging tariffs are not in response to actual tariffs. They are in response to a trade deficit, and a trade deficit almost exclusively. Look at his dumb formula on how he calculated the so-called “reciprocal“ tariffs. It’s all a bunch of BS. His whole first 2 to 3 months have been nothing but self-inflicted wounds to our economy and our future.

Sorry your Chinese trinket business isn’t gonna make it.
Nope. Don’t own anything like that. Don’t even participate in anything like that. However, I do like to buy products and when Target, Walmart, and other Big box operators showed up and told Trump we’re about to have a bunch of empty shelves, he cratered, realizing the foolishness of his ways. These are not trinkets. They are everything that you dumbasses buy.

All of you so-called conservatives have been backing some of the dumbest, most liberal leanings of this clown show of a presidency. Conservatives do not support tariffs. They support the free market and there’s nothing free market about wide ranging tariffs. Please admit that you were wrong. Bend at the altar of the free market and put away this pipe dream of everything being made in America.

If research needs government money it means the research can’t stand on its own merit The market funds research that is worthwhile.
There is NO market for a lot of new technologies. The market comes after the fact. Basically, about all a 10% of research pans out. That means 90% are failures. The market would never support a 90% failure rate.

I, for one, feel that America is exceptional. This country is the greatest ever seen on this planet and so much of what we’ve created here is based on our entrepreneurial spirit. The first great entrepreneurs pushed envelopes and created (see Thomas Edison). Over the past 150 years or so, scientific advances have flourished in our universities, private research foundations, & government institutions. All of these sources of great advancement needed funding and have gotten much of it from tax payers…and we, the tax payers, have benefited greatly from this.
Additionally, because we lead the entire world in research. Almost anyone who is brilliant, creative, and ambitious, comes to United States to learn at our universities & apply their trade. Again, we as a people, benefit greatly from this.
Undercutting scientific research by defunding it will cripple us and cripple the global economy. Is this part two of Trump‘s efforts to cripple the global economy? Part one clearly appears to be this crazy tariff business. Is this guy trying to sink us?

Not a Will Wade fan at all, but I really admire what he said here. If he truly believes it, good on him for growing as an adult and gaining insight. If the events that led to his hosting at LSU have allowed him to come to this point, God bless him.
