re: Chris Blair has no idea hes on radio
Posted by el gato on 5/17/26 at 12:19 pm to BrohemAlem11
This x1000.
I don't always listen to Blair, but I took my radio with me yesterday when I went out for a run. (I get from point A to point B -- it just takes a long time) Many times, Blair either doesn't describe the play as it is happening or Buzzy or whoever the color guy is has to step in and explain. I don't care how professional Blair sounds if he doesn't let you know what is going on. The annoying thing is that should be something that can be fixed.

quote:How does this have anything to do with Vitello focusing on winning regular season games to the point of his team burning out before postseason play?
Ppl forget how bad the Tenn program was without him.
quote:This is why Johnson coaches LSU to peak at the end of the season.
Also it takes some luck to win it all.
quote:I'll take Johnson's two NCs over Vitello's one NC and his mother-of-all-chokes in 2022.
Johnson’s a terrific tourney coach but is that a repeatable thing idk.

quote:LOL. The grass is always greener. Vitello always seemed more focused on regular season results than post season. Tennessee's super regional choke in 2022, when the Vols were 56-7 before losing to Notre Dame, is one of the epic fails in the history of college baseball.
I thought Vitello was a better coach for instance when he was still in the sec.
After a quick Google search, it ;ooks like this is only the fourth time in SEC history and the second time in a conference game that a player hit four home runs in one game. Calvin Harris (Ole Miss, 2023), JJ Schwarz (Florida, 2015), and Bill Sandry (Kentucky, 1982) were the others.

quote:The 1986 team was the one that went 55-14. LSU was 49-19 in 1987. Also, the jersey is a close replica, but as you can see in the old photos, the logo on the front was not on a flat horizontal plane. It was slanted up about 20 degress from left to right.
The 1987 club went 55–14 and battled its way back to the College World Series for the second season in a row,
Blair sounded like someone who is bored watching a baseball game. I get it. It was a long baseball game today, and it took a long time to get to the point where Dardar came up with that huge home run, but, damn, Blair doesn't even sound like a baseball fan the way he called that. That was an awful call for one of the biggest hits LSU has had so far this season.
That does it. Only a matter of time before Wade is back.
As for Forde...

quote:Nah. Its one thing to have confidence your new coach can win a national championship when three different coaches have done it at your school since 2003. Its another to think your guy will do it when your school hasn't sniffed a title since the 1930s.
We all overestimate the prestige of our programs, but none more than LSU.
Gig em. :lol:

A&M picked a bad time to have a two-game losing streak.

It’s sad seeing a packed crowd and thinking about the bowl games toda
That was a different time altogether. There were only 12 bowl games in 1971 so it was a big deal getting to go to one.
quote:Exactly.
Cool, it's not your life. Just because you're a talking head on National TV doesn't mean your opinion matters on what others choose to do with their life.
It's silly really.
If there is one thing that has become abundantly clear in the past week, its that LSU is where Kiffin wants to be. Why should Kiffin have turned down the chance to do something he really wants to do? Howard can say Kiffin should have stayed at Ole Miss a million times, but it won't change the fact that Kiffin just didn't want that.

: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.
