Good. Let them vote. Great letter.

I don’t understand how they could separate and not continue to pay us a rev share. There seem to be no stated infractions, penalties or opportunities to cure them.

LSU having its own media rights, while still earning a rev share, would be a very unique advantage. Especially while everyone is scrambling to replace LSU on their schedules. Not afraid at all

If the SEC continues down this path I think you are right. I think it’s already 8 figures.

Wtf are they doing?

I really hate this guy. He sucked, he is still getting paid, and he wants to act like anything other than his shitty soft arse brand of football, and unwillingness to accept it, got him fired.

It’s like he missed the memo that we have high expectations here, because we have a reason to.

Hope he gets sued too so he can truly experience the lack of separation he refers to.

This is why bringing Kiffin to trial in Alabama is just stupid. Don't you know he knows where all the bodies are buried that was done by Saban and Kirby. I don't think they want him taking the stand.

I’m not sure it’s that type of trial.

Thanks for letting me know. I’m more interested in Nuss because of his tenure and experience at LSU than Sharp, but that’s the type of info I come to this board for.

Brian Kelly should face criminal charges for the scam he pulled on LSU.

fricking this. Nuss got dogged on all year long when it was reported that he was hurt preseason, was reported he was hurt during the season, and was still reported after that he was indeed hurt. Nuss was frustrating to watch, and I’m not trying to minimize the fact that lots of guys play hurt - but we all saw him be a better QB the season before. Kelly decided to roll the dice, jeopardizing the young man’s career and trivializing countless others’...because he thought he earned his contact the day he signed it. Him and the 5-10 other guys that signed those ridiculous guaranteed contracts undermined football and it shows.

The crux of the hat has made high level sports so popular boils down to pride. Having too much pride to lose without shouldering the blame is admirable. Brian Kelly’s time at LSU is anything but admirable

re: Unread work emails. How do you people function? I read all of my work emails

Posted by OceanMan on 8/31/26 at 6:39 pm to sidewalkside

I’d like to point out that the OP has not participated in the thread they started 3 hours ago.

That is precisely why I don’t bother responding to every email.

But work emails...I just can't fathom going an entire day, days, or weeks and knowing there have been people in a professional business setting sending me information of some kind and just not reading it.

If I answered every question, text, email, phone call etc I received, I would never stop working and wouldn’t make enough money.

In my line of work, people are constantly asking you for something. They aren’t providing any information, if you ask them for more information or otherwise clarify they are a bottleneck, they become non responsive.

To be clear, I look at just about every work email, but not always. I have so much clutter I’m not sure how I could ever catch up or stay on top. I typically give much more thoughtful responses that are given to me, and I don’t consider reading all of my emails an accomplishment.

Honestly I’m pretty exhausted with the amount of messages I get - and the amount of spam involved has cranked up in the last 3-4 years to the point that I have to decide what takes priority and just have to hope that can be appreciated

I’m not even a fan necessarily. but she was super hot, for basically her entire life, and super awesome at singing and had complimentary musicianship that made her a grade A undeniable star…coupled with other admirable things she was associated with, and even the profit seeking projects like Dollywood….that’s a lot of lost energy in one person

re: SEC Ban on NFL or NBA players returning is official

Posted by OceanMan on 8/25/26 at 7:05 pm to Handsome Pete

The sad thing is there are quite a few people that don’t feel sufficiently stupid enough at this point that their “they should get paid if the schools are making money” position, that they should just shut up.

Clown show era of sports.

And as I have maintained, this on the NFL. They used the NCAA as a feeder league, with no compensation, and are now surprised that people are seeking a better deal in college football sports.

Just like other sports, like the modern NBA scrub is making more than Scottie Pippen, Hakeem, or John Stockton ever did - the modern NCAA athlete has no skin in the game and just concerned with the next contract.

Damn shame.

They boomed during their widest times. I bought right before that. I saw its value drop in my portfolio the other day and was looking in the history for a split or spinoff or something.

Oddly enough I think Philip Morris ha basically done the opposite, pretty sure I bought those at the same time.
