LongTime Tiger

quote:

---

7 years of Portal shopping, Max and his fricked up family are what's part of the problem with college football now days.

---

Max was nothing but a model Tiger while he was here but didn't want to be stuck on the bench behind QBs brought in through portal. If you had a kid who played you might be a little more understanding of the desire to be on the field instead of just being a practice player.

Watch Golding will leave as soon as he gets a legit chance. Ole Miss isn’t what they think they are. Never will be.

I think Pete is at OM for the next 15 years if he is at least moderately successful and consistent at a competition level in SEC. Don't see him fitting in at many more D1 schools other than OM. OR, he will not meet the OM fan base's falsely elevated expectations and they will show him the door after 3-5 years.
Pete doesn't look like a HC genius and the trend is that the most successful head coaches are offensive gurus. I think it is easier to find an adequate DC to pair with a high scoring offense than to find a great OC to consistently put up big numbers to win shootouts.Plus a great offense excites the fan base much more than a dominant defense which stimulates ticket sales, donations and admission application increases.
OM will fall back to their rightful place in the mix and not be nationally relevant much longer IMO.

Never had it for tailgate but love vichyssoise at home. Can be served chilled. It's light and can be made to be really Cajun with seasoning & hot sause. Add a couple big peeled boiled shrimp and a few pieces of diced andouille and you have a spicy delicacy. Very rich with butter and cream/whole milk and filling but cools you since you can served it chilled. Also doesn't take long to prepare. Could be done the day before and refrigerate and then assemble at tailgate. I know it's not traditionally South LA but it is French in origin.

Yes, he will play more games and not have to deal with 1-2 classes during the season. But he also will be playing 28 games per month. And depending on the club who drafts him, he may not get instruction as good as what he will get at LSU.
And, he might move up in draft order with another year to improve, get healed from his injury, and work on more skills.
Not saying he should stay at LSU, and getting drafted early/mid 2nd round is great. But getting drafted 2nd or 5th or 12th next year puts him in serious signing money territory. And as they always say, "the more money they invest in a draft pick, the more patience and willingness to get them to the show quickly".
That being said: thanks Jake for some great memories you made in P&G and have a great pro career!

We have had 1.5 years of mass deportations, detentions, and self-deportations. Have we seen a correlative drop in housing prices?

---

In case you haven't noticed we have only deported a small portion of the Biden open border illegal aliens that entered our country without proper vetting. Had blue haired white liberals gotten out of the way and not impeded ICE from doing their federally mandated jobs, we would have gotten many more illegals out of here. But the border policies of Biden-Harris(what a joke Border Czar) let them in much faster than they can be removed. Additionally we have only had 18 months of restoration of law and order in this Trump administration at this time. So let's all enjoy increased prices on food, fuel and housing. :angry:

I remember when one end zone was LSU in p&g and the opponent's was painted and marked on the other...I liked that

---

I remember those well and used to look forward to busting out of the dark walkway into the bright lights of the field and see that glorious combination of green grass, bright stadium lights, and purple/gold and the opponents' colors. To a kid it was amazing!
But why give publicity to the opponent when national TV time is so precious to continually present "The Brand" to national audiences and potential recruits. Let them only see purple and gold!

I don't think most people on this board remember how raw both Shaq and Stanley were their freshman seasons. It took awhile for both to hone their skills.

---

Stanley came to LSU much more skilled offensively than did Shaq. Shaq was very aweward and gangly but could block shots and rebound, even though bigger, stronger guys could push him around.
Stanley couldn't stay out of foul trouble and had trouble making good decisions & wouldn't work hard on the defensive end.
\Chris Jackson was the most fun to watch since The Pistol, His ability to elevate & shoot before a defender could get to the same height was unreal and he took over games many times.
Fun group to watch but as always with Dale teams, they didn't understand how to use the rules to their advantage and were fundamentally inadequate. Very frustrating.

Don’t care as long as it goes both ways

I get what you are saying but it
Makes a huge difference to real hitters who know the zone and are disciplined. On the other hand, to indiscriminant free swingers it does not make much difference.

Been saying that all year. Little mistakes on D. Little mistakes at bat and on bases. We allow a few extra runs and miss picking up a couple runs and end up losing by 3. Or maybe it happens in 4-5 innings and we get run ruled. Happens over and over this season.

Im pretty sure the portal was open while we were busy in Omaha winning the national title.

You are correct but it took much more time than just 2 weeks prior to CWS.

In 2025, the NCAA Men's College World Series (MCWS) took place from June 13 to June 22, 2025. The primary NCAA Division I baseball transfer portal window. for that season was open for 30 days from June 2 to July 1, 2025.
