All of that is passive aggressive nonsense. At least have the balls to stand behind what you say.

I believe you are correct. The 1986 team, Bertman's first to reach the CWS, started out 21-1. Pretty sure that was the best start until this one.

Woods stating that "State Farm WASN'T There" is factually correct. For decades, apparently, State Farm was "like a good neighbor" to him until it wasn't. Still, all his statement does is point out the fallacy of the feel-good marketing campaign of State Farm or any other insurance carrier.

The concept of insurance is based on indemnity for a loss that is unexpected. When the loss is predictable or to some degree foreseeable, when proper safeguards aren't taken to mitigate loss, insurance companies will cancel coverage. This can be on an individual basis, for example, if a homeowner doesn't properly maintain his home, or it can be across a wide area, as was the case in California.

The takeaway from Woods' statement is that insurance companies want you to feel good about buying their product, not worry about the intricacies of having your policy canceled, discontinued or priced so high at renewal that it is no longer unaffordable.

In the SWAC, a league of cash-challenged HBCUs, Valley has the least profitable athletic department. A couple of years ago, Southern led all HBCUs with $18 million in athletic revenue. Valley was at the very bottom with $4 million. That lack of funding affects everything from scholarships to travel accomodations. While the outcome of tonight's game was predictable, whatever sum LSU paid Valley to play the game made it worth their while.

That’s not what OP is saying

Then OP shouldn't have led with this statement:

quote:

---

Didn’t think the fans would storm the field after a win last night, guess I was wrong.

---

Also, the SEC's rule where it fines the home team when fans rush the field has been around for 20 years. If OP wants to know why that is then he/she should learn how to use Google.

My guess is LSU would want 2 home games in order to give Tulane a game at Yulman which is a losing proposition for LSU or a game in Tiger Stadium, game in Superdome with LSU getting most of tickets/revenue and a game at Yulman. That would likely be the only way for it to work

---

LSU may play Tuilane again at some point, but it will never play a game at Yulman Stadium. Seating capacity for Yulman is 30,000, which is all Tulane needs, but LSU hasn't played in a stadium that small since the 1950s.

The premium seating looks like it is too low and doesn't appear to provide a good perspective of the field. I prefer being a few rows higher where I can see the entire field. Good luck selling seats to that.

I don't know what we were ranked preseason going into 2009 in baseball but we were coming off of an Omaha run in 2008 and had a lot of talent returning, I have to imagine they were ranked pretty high.

They were. USA Today/ESPN and Collegiate Baseball both had LSU preseason no. 1. Baseball America and National College BB Writers had LSU no. 2.
