re: Hopefully we’ll start preparing for a future without the SEC

For sure. Now is the time. LSU is one of the hottest brands in the sports world and a cash cow for other name brand opponents.
They would have no problem getting home and home deals with the big name teams to fill out a schedule.
It’s likely ESPN called off the SEC’s bleeding vagina witch hunt because of the money LSU brings in. LSU is must see tv more than they’ve ever been.

Reality check for expelling LSU from the SEC...be careful what you ask for.

Here's just a little Google research on the monetary implications:
The LSU brand is valued between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, anchoring it firmly as a top-five asset in the Southeastern Conference and a top-10 brand nationally.
1. The Financial Engine of the Conference Record Profits:
During the 2025 fiscal year, the LSU athletic department generated a staggering $223.4 million in total revenue.Football Dominance: LSU Football acts as the primary rainmaker, posting a record $66.8 million net profit (off $117.5 million in standalone football revenue). This massive cash flow heavily subsidizes the rest of the conference's revenue pool and lower-earning institutional sports.
2. Premium Media Inventory for ESPNHigh-Value Broadcasts:
LSU is one of a handful of select "needle-movers" that allows the SEC to command its $3 billion tier-one contract with ESPN.Viewer Draw: The program consistently fills premier broadcast windows (like the 3:30 PM and Saturday prime-time slots on ABC). Removing a brand like LSU would immediately trigger contract "composition clauses," allowing networks to reduce their payout to the SEC due to a loss of marquee game inventory.
3. Championship Cross-Sport EquityMulti-Sport Success:
Unlike schools that rely entirely on football, LSU draws immense brand value from winning national championships across football, baseball, women's basketball, and gymnastics. This comprehensive success drives massive merchandise sales, high digital viewership, and consistent postseason revenue shares from NCAA tournaments and bowl games back into the SEC ecosystem.
This multi-billion dollar valuation explains why the SEC's current threat to expel LSU over roster-eligibility disputes carries such seismic financial weight for both sides.
Money talks...no matter who has an axe to grind with LSU.

re: Let The Record Show Clemson is Going 0-12 and Louisville is Going 11-1
Posted by roscoe mike on 9/7/26 at 5:55 pm to GreyReb
Clemson will probably go 4-8 or 5-7...Louisville somewhere between 9-3 and 11-1
So, what would the scores have been LSU vs Louisville & Ole Miss vs Clemson?

Why was there such preseason hype about this baseball team?

So far it looks like McBaseball…
The ROI on BK has to be the worst in the history of all mankind…

…even worse than the salaries on Capitol Hill.

They are college football’s version of DEI…Tulane would be 2-10 with a power 4 schedule.

This offense gives me Jordan Jefferson vibes.
Offense is going to have to win a game…

Can they do it?
Season reset is almost here.

As is the case with every baseball season:
What won’t matter:
• Rankings
• A gaudy win loss record
• Seedings
• What color jersey the team is wearing
What will matter:
• 2 out hits with risp
• Fielding ground balls and making accurate throws
• Outfielders catching balls that don’t leave the yard
• Executing pitches in the late innings
• Knowing who on your roster can perform the above.

Worried most about the outfield.

Too many botched plays.

This team is nothing special anyway. They were never a threat to win any hardware this season.

I’ve said this before and got roasted…I think Jay is a good coach and we should be glad we have him…that being said, imho, he manages like he’s in the majors and has 162 games to tinker and figure things out.
Simplify things and teach the kids the fundamentals of baseball that they still need to learn.

There has to be something fundamentally wrong with what these pitchers are being taught.
