As said, I’m still fooling with picture settings but my Apple TV 4K box is sending a damn nice Dolby Vision IQ signal. Had to turn down brightness from 100 to 70 for now. Really really bright picture.


I have a 75in Hisense U8 mini-LED, little over 1 year old. I also use Apple TV 4K box, and I actually had to turn off Dolby Vision because everything was so dark. I fought with the settings on both my tv and the Apple TV forever and finally just gave up and set it to regular 4K.

I still wonder if the issue is the Hisense or specific settings I have wrong.

You can spend more than RevShare just has to be approved by clearinghouse. You really think LSU is only spending 15 million, try 30 plus.


Yes I understand that. This was about the revenue share which is limited, but also easier to give out.
quote:

Should they just not try to compete?


There a limit of the amount of revenue share. You aren’t seriously competing when 2 players take up that much of it. You’re going to lose a lot of other players because you can’t afford them.

Everyone thought LSU had a severely tarnished brand less than 2 months ago. THIS is what a tarnished brand looks like. The Michigan job is not nearly as attractive right now as it used to be. Couple that with the timing of all this and their options aren’t great.
That the new Quinnipac poll?

Also from that same poll:

quote:

If the election were held today, 47 percent of voters say they would want to see the Democratic Party win control of the United States House of Representatives, while 43 percent would want to see the Republican Party win control of the House.
quote:

Also of note, Sal, is that players can announce their intention to enter the portal or even enter their name in the portal once it's open, and still play in their current team's bowl game if they want to, and the head coach allows them.


Right. There really isn’t a “returning” involved in the process. Entering the portal doesn’t separate the player from the team.
It allows for “examinations” of 12 year olds’ bodies looking for tattoos. Not really a big leap to strip searching there bud.
That’s Democrats in Congress, not overall Party approval. GOP is only at 35%.

Also from that same poll:

The bill allows for strip searching of 12 year olds. I can see how some may object to that.

It’s really wild to think back on that situation now knowing how nice/humble of a guy JD turned out to be. That place must have been truly toxic.
I’d imagine he will once they convene for bowl practice.

What a stupid f’n expenditure. The return on this will be dogshit at best.


You realize LSU doesn’t currently have enough dorm space for their students, right?
quote:

Now, not only are they helping Ole Miss, they aren't doing work for LSU right now. Look for one or two to change their minds and stay at Ole Miss.


Their contracts with LSU all have a buyout clause requiring them to pay 300% of their contract if they leave LSU before March 2026. It’s basically a “no returning to Ole Miss” clause.

I was told by LSU fans this was already signed and done weeks ago.. But that says Monday..


This is the second deal. He signed the original deal right after coming to LSU.

Me too. I was actually pretty checked out on LSU football in general. I thought it was just the stage of life I was in and LSU athletics wasn't as important to me as it used to be, but Kiffin has rejuvenated my spirit! I guess my apathy was mostly related to BK after all.


Same exact thing with me. Thought I was just outgrowing it or something as I’ve gotten older. Nope. I’m back.
quote:

Coach Saban has done everything possible to bring back the love he once had coming from LSU fans !!! Thanks, Coach Saban. We are very grateful.


You’ll notice a lot of times when he’s telling an old story, you assume at first it’s about a Bama team but he still talks a lot about his time here.

Honestly, this is what NIL was always meant to be.
quote:

Jay Johnson: LSU is THE baseball school. We're beyond what Duke and UNC are in basketball, what Alabama and Ohio State are in football. Our support (fanbase, resources) for baseball eclipses everyone else by a good bit, it's treated as a top-tier program here. Co-equal with football and men's basketball. Coaches know that, and want to come no matter the AD, as long as the support remains. And it will.


It’s not that he was able to convince Jay to come here. It’s that he chose Jay in the first place.

re: Ole Miss AD should be fired

The real mistake in all of this was made years ago. No mitigation clause in his contract. Without that, Ole Miss had no real threat to fire him during this saga so Lane always held all the cards.
