Brasswell says the football team is taken all of their airplane $$

This season is the first year that 100% the money donated to the program by the Coaches Committee has gone to the baseball NIL fund.

We had to sign a card with our donation saying we knew the money was not going to pay for baseball operation expenses but was going to be dedicated to NIL funding for baseball.

In fact, for those who paid their membership dues by check had to make the check out to "Bayou Traditions - Baseball" rather than to "TAF-Baseball" like in previous years. (From the CC web page: "Proceeds from this club go directly to support the team through Bayou Traditions and their NIL needs.")

I mention that because in previous years part of the CC money was used to pay for up to 3 flights a season not paid for by university policy on air travel. (Something to do with a certain number of hours driving time.)

All the MAGA Putin bros' heads are about to explode, especially Comrade Snitchkovsky.

Trump has agreed to provide more military and economic assistance to Ukraine PLUS the agreement allows a path for Ukraine's membership in the European Union, something President Trump's previous plan did not allow.

And Trump is saying Putin is making bad decisions regarding having a peace agreement and "may not really want peace now."

He was not fired?

Yeah ok

If he was fired by LSU then Skip Bertman, Jay Johnson, Scott Woodward and Paul Mainieri lied to everyone about PM's departure. And they have continued lying to us for over 3 years now.

But if you have credible information that he was fired, please post it. I'd like to see it. Thanks.

assassinated military leaders before with diplomats from other countries in Moscow. They just did it 3 days ago when Witkoff was in Moscow on Friday to meet with Putin

Except the town where the Russian general assumed room temperature is almost 25 miles beyond the outer ring road in Moscow. Which means it was between 30 and 35 miles away from the Kremlin.

I seriously doubt Witkoff was taking a tour of the Moscow countryside.

What a liar you and that Twitter clown are. He said nothing, nothing of the sort. He was talking about sanctions, clearly. This thread should be shameful to you, but you probably haven't the character to care.

Don't be too hard on the OP.

You have to remember he's the guy who claimed he takes part time jobs as a bartender just so he can meet women. :casty:

It's a little more than just watching BP.

Fans who buy the early access BP pass get to go onto the field behind the batting cage during BP while the players and coaches walk around near you.
