Potential Rematch
Posted by geaux86 on 10/24/26 at 7:28 pm
If LSU wins out, there may be a rematch in the SEC championship game with either OM or UK. Who is your preference?
Gotta say, I don't care. If it were Bama, Aggie, or UF, I would care but I’m indifferent between OM and UK.
The ideal scenario is that we beat one in the SECCG and the other in the playoffs.

Yeah, it’s crazy. I understand that someone can get to a single ref and fix games for gambling but that is far different than a conference fixing games.
Imagine how many people would have to be complicit in a conference conspiring to fix games. And then you have to believe that not one of them would ever not tell someone else. Let me repeat that — not one person out of multiple dozens, over years and years, would ever not tell someone else.
The likelihood of that happening is so small. It’s human nature. How many times in your life have you been talking to a friend who says “Hey, you can’t tell anyone — seriously — but…”? Especially after a few drinks.
At the very least, someone is going to eventually feel remorse and say this is wrong and spill the beans. Or — more likely — someone is going to feel like they got screwed and want to get revenge.
(BTW, I realize this post is going to get more downvotes than upvotes. This is the home of the Rantards.)

Try counting out that beat…

re: Cooking with Miso Paste
Posted by geaux86 on 10/6/26 at 9:19 pm to muttenstein
One-Pot Miso-Turmeric Salmon and Coconut Rice
4 portions
2 cups rice (traditionally made with white jasmine but I prefer a blend of brown, black, red, and wild)
1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
Salt and pepper
4 scallions, light white and green parts thinly sliced
2 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1 /2 pounds skinless salmon fillets, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
5 packed cups baby spinach
1 lime, quartered
Cilantro leaves (optional), for garnish
1. In a large Dutch oven or other large heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rice, coconut milk and 2 cups of water; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, covered, over high.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the scallions with the miso, soy sauce, olive oil, turmeric and a few grinds of pepper to form a chunky paste. Add the salmon; toss to coat.
3. When the rice starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, adjusting it as needed to maintain a simmer. Stir to make sure nothing is sticking on the bottom.
4. Layer the spinach on top of the rice. Squeeze 2 lime quarters over the spinach. Nestle the salmon pieces on top in an even layer, scraping in any scallions remaining in the bowl. Cover and cook until the salmon is just cooked through, breaking apart the thickest piece to check, 12 to 16 minutes.
5. Squeeze the remaining lime quarters over the salmon. Top with cilantro, if using. Scoop into bowls or plates to serve.

That play was cool against Clemson because it was the first game and it was new, but we have to stop using it some much
That’s why it worked. They’ve been setting it up for three games. Now teams are going to have to pick their poison when they see that set going forward. Plus, they also have a few other options out of that set.

My point had nothing to do with scrambling ability. It was about the following:
Sounds a lot like the absolutes many were tossing around after Daniel’s first few games with LSU. Not saying Sam will develop his passing skills and his decision making as much as JD did from year one to year two but this is just one example to show it isn’t impossible.
We’ll see.

He just misses, because he wants to run first. It’s his first instinct, and therefore will never develope a pure passing skill. Its over. He isnt some young kid out of high school. He will have glashes, against wesker teams. But in the end, his dna is to run first, not be a mechanically sound accurate pocket passer.

Youre an optimistic guy. And thats fine. But hitting open routes will not improve. It’s NOT the "system", or relationships to recievers. QB inaccuracies are a flaw in the mechanics and pedigree of the player himself, especially in high intensity moments. TE curls, that are designed to stop right iver the goal line, is the easiest throw to make in the game. Large target, predetermined spot, no movement needed. Crossing routes are probably the second easiest He just misses, because he wants to run first. It’s his first instinct, and therefore will never develope a pure passing skill. Its over.

Recommendations for books about Vikings

Don’t know much about the history of Vikings and am interested in learning more. Does anyone have any recommendations?

It used to be nothing but highlights with some catchphrases and interviews
A common theme through the series is how everyone misses what it used to be but knows that it can never be that way again because so many games are televised now and everything is reported real time. They all realize they caught lightening in a bottle and were having the times of their lives while seeing how far they could push the envelope.
This Was SportsCenter with Rich Eisen
Posted by geaux86 on 8/2/26 at 10:24 pm
Just came across this series with Rich Eisen doing one-on-one interviews with several of the OG SportsCenter hosts from its beginnings in the late 70s through the 90s. It is an entertaining walk down memory lane for anyone who grew up watching those shows as your only means of national sports news before all the games were broadcast and you could get live updates on your phone as the games are played. A lot of behind the scenes stories.

He really struggled to adjust to our offense scoring so frequently and so quickly.
Cole Cubelic was on the Scott Van Pelt show the night of the championship game and told a story about the SECN team's pre-production meeting with Aranda the week of the Northwestern game after LSU had played Texas the week before. He said Aranda walked in the room and said, "Fellas, we can't be what we thought we were going to be — I have to completely redesign this thing."
I say job well done!

Say what you will about Boston but a girl turned me on to their first album when I was in junior high. My horny junior high self will always love that band.
