re: Is LSU top ten team?

:lol: Next week will be 'determinative' as opposed to just saying next week will determine. Here's another word for you.
pretentious: a word that describes people who try to impress by sounding more knowledgeable than they are.
And, the answer to your question is maybe. The Ole Miss game, win or lose, will not determine if LSU makes the playoffs, so your supposition that the game will define LSU's playoff chances is incorrect.

quote:Maybe. But until Arch shows he can handle being a college-level starting quarterback then I wouldn't be putting money on Texas.
What’s funny is that if LSU and Texas played each other at a neutral site next week, Texas would still be the favorite.

Its not about accuracy, its about irony and a lack of self awareness. What he said applies equally to him.
quote:Shaq is worth half a billion. He doesn't write press releases or statements that are disseminated immediately after he has met privately with business and community leaders. It was a written, on-the-record statement clearly endorsed by O'Neal. The statement didn't try to hide anything because, you know, there was nothing to hide.
I always love these press release quotes that don't even try to hide that it was written by someone other than the person it is attributed to.

Swing and a miss. The stages of grief don't really correlate with anonymous posts on a message board.

re: Is it weird for a school to have such icey relationships with former successful coaches?
Posted by el gato on 7/3/25 at 12:38 pm to Cryin Kelly
Here's an example. Look at Kentucky basketball. They don't have great relationships with their last three national championship coaches.
Pitino wins the 1996 NC, leaves to coach the Celtics, and later returns to the college ranks coaching Louisville. Tubby Smith followed Pitino, won the 1998 NC and a few down years later resigned to become the head coach at Minnesota. Kentucky's latest NC head coach, Calipari, is now the coach at Arkansas.
shite happens.

quote:How many of those 17 seasons were with Saban as coach? I'm guessing there's a correlation between "worst season in 17 years" and the absence of the prior head coach.
For Alabama, it was the worst season in 17 years.
re: Let’s put this college baseball isn’t popular idea to rest

quote:Sure, but where are all the stories about A&M wasting money on a baseball stadium. They were there when A&M paid off Jimbo. No one is writing negatively about A&M spending the money on baseball. For that matter, no one did when Mississippi State built the best baseball stadium in the country. Tennessee is about to spend Jimbo money on its baseball stadium. Where is all the negative press? Its almost like baseball is a sport deserving of the expenditure.
I’m sorry $80 mil (twice) is a lot for your program .

Weird melt.
If baseball is such a loser then someone needs to tell Texas A&M before it blows Jimbo Fisher money on renovating Blue Bell Park.

re: Gage Wood is what Paul Skenes was hyped to be
Posted by el gato on 6/16/25 at 7:57 pm to PineyWoodsHog
MLB.com lists Skenes as the favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award. Here is their write up from a couple of days ago.

quote:
1. Paul Skenes, Pirates (32 first-place votes)
A shakeup in the NL vaults Skenes atop our latest poll. Buoyed by a wicked seven-pitch mix, Skenes looks even nastier than he did during his historic rookie season. After holding the Phillies to one run across 7 2/3 innings on Sunday, the right-hander has allowed one run or fewer in six consecutive starts, pitching into the eighth inning on three occasions. He leads qualified NL starters in WHIP (0.84) and batting average against (.173), while his ERA (1.88) trails only Kodai Senga (1.59).

Vaz broke his foot stepping on a baseball in warmups before Bama's regional championship game against USC. He was Bama's leading hitter and also their best pitcher. No way to know what would have happened at the CWS if he hadn't been hurt, but Bama was definitely more dangerous with him in the lineup.

On top of everything you just listed, Oregon State was swept by Oregon in a four-game series three weeks ago. Beavers won't be a top 8 seed.

Doesn't come close to the mother of all chokes that Vitello and Tennessee baseball pulled in 2022.
re: Worst beatdown you have ever seen your team take?

quote:This is the correct answer. LSU actually played decent for half a quarter and led 3-0 before the bottom fell out. Interestingly, three weeks later that same LSU team ended Alabama's 31-game unbeaten streak with a 17-13 win in Tuscaloosa.
58-3 Fl vs LSU in Tiger Stadium. Danny carved us up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
quote:Almost correct, but not quite.
First, the 2 errors let those first 2 runners on so they never should’ve been on base. Hence 2 unearned runs.
Second, those 2 errors would’ve been outs 1 and 2. Stanfield’s fly out would’ve been out number 3 so anything that scores after Stanfield’s at bat is unearned.
Frey reached on an error to lead the at bat, Milam struck out, and was followed by Brown, who also reached on an error. Without the errors, LSU goes three up, three down and the game is over. Everything that followed after the first three batters wouldn't have happened without the errors.
It was an unearned run bonanza.
