Place reminds me of PCB back in the early 90s. A lot of shitty run down hotels and buildings.
90's? The Keys were like that in the 70's...
re: What's the craziest/funniest/wildest recruiting story you heard?

Coach O meeting Klavon Chaisson at his house and driving with him to the airport and walking him to the gate recruiting him all the way there before he went on his Florida visit is kind of wild,
This is the one I was referring to a couple posts above but I could not remember who the recruit was!

After reading the stories on here I remember CEO camping out on a dude's front curb before he was leaving on a visit and he might have been there when he got back.

Tommy Tuberville was hosting a big recruiting dinner at a fine restaurant at Texas Tech. He received a phone call during dinner and got up and excused himself... the next time those recruits saw Tommy he was getting off a plane and being announced as the new HC of the Univ of Cinncinnati.
Absolute true story. He got flamed by the media for that one.

re: Iran and the narrative
Posted by GetmorewithLes on 6/13/25 at 4:59 pm

I do tend to believe that Iran has a strict Muslim government. Thats about all that I just straight up believe. Watching videos of people traveling through Iran really opened up my eyes though. These people are not savages. I want to at least hear their side of the story.
Then I take it you are not my age then. I went to college with many Iranians back in the 70's and 80's. In about 79 the muslim clerics overthrew the Shah who was very western friendly. In fact Iran at that time was probably the most western minded muslim society in the Middle East. When the clerics took over there was no law but what they said which was ultra conservative muslim beliefs. No room for toleration of the infidel. Also, women in Iran who were highly eductated lost all human rights as stated in Sharia Law.
The college students I went to school with were pro-Shah for the most part and were at that time exiled from Iran or it they returned home they would be killed. The pro Shah citizens were shoved down the citizen heirarchy and many were executed as a purge of western thought. In fact I was working with an Iranian engineer a few yrs ago who to this day says he is on a death list because of who his family is. He has not been home in 40+ yrs.
As for the current regime, yes, they are world sponsors of terror. The bankroll every problem in the Middle East. The Saudis dont like them, the Egptians, the Syrians, the Lebanese, the Turks, the Jordanians, and especially the Iraqis dont like them because of this.
You are right to question what you see and hear these days. That is what we do here on the Rant every day. It should not take you long to find out what the truth is on the Iranian leaders. I should preface this that there is still some pro-western Iranians in Iran but they have been completely shackled politically

four times in their history. Two of those in the 1970s.
The last one being my Junior yr at good ole MSU...
The field at that time was located in the middle of campus, had grass amphitheater seating with no bleachers, and damn sure no consession stands. The players prepped the field.
re: Ethan Frey...Is the plan for him to take over for JJ at 1st??

Yup. And if $250K in NIL was close to what Jones was offered in the draft, MLB didn’t view him as a Top 150 player which is one of the principle reasons we are saying that Frey is likely gone.
We are still throwing these numbers around like frisbees but if the settlement goes through the NIL value stuff will be trimmed way back. That may change a lot of dynamics in this draft and on HS recruits

One year as a DH isn't enough to assume MLB GMs are salivating.
Amazing how many on here dont realize that point. Also unless you get drafted in top 4-5 rounds the life of a Milb player is shite compared to a college player as far as quality of life over the net year.

Just seize their bank accounts. If we can seize foreign governments and citizens bank accounts then doing the same in our own country to non citizens should be very easy. Cut off their funding and they won't last but a couple of months
I suspect this riot situation is being allowed to play out while the govt collects all the data and evidence on who is funding the protesting. Start taking out those who are running this shite and it will dry up and eventually some of these people who dont want to get their hands dirty will get implicated/indicted.

But as a southern rural white dude, I don’t really feel any kind of cultural affinity with someone just cuz they’re White, ya know? They most likely talk different, eat different, listen to different music, pray different, have different values, etc.
Go to NYC and you will find that you probably dont identify with 90% of them…

Maybe you think I’m nuts but I’ll listen to my doctors like a sane adult.
If you have any sliver of scientific education then you would know that Doctors are just trained specialists who are making educated guesses. I recently started going to a cardiologist for BP control. The first one I went to was so out of control on my treatment plan that I had to change to somebody else. He was working with academic blinders on instead of looking at the big picture and was making my life hell.

This is not the cartels. This is the NWO pushing their first conflict with this new Trump Admin. This protest is 99% sponsored and not organic.
I am curious to see if this new DHS bunch is using this opportunity to uncover the money and organizational web. If so we could see or not see destruction of this network.

I will definitely be pulling for the Tigers and number 8. If MSU makes it by them then they better win it all!

I am a Murray State alum (81) and a long time LSU fan since the mid 80's... this could get complicated.

Everybody is away from the “box” now. If there is one program that has an edge on home field advantage in Omaha it should be LSU. They get a decent amount of support from the locals up there

You catching a lot of DVs but I said the same thing before the regionals were played. There is no way you know who is going to Omaha at that point so now at the highest level we have a poorly seeded tourney
I am with you man!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have no clue how to manage a horse.
I am going to guess you have never even ridden a horse outside of a merry go round. You probably learned your craft on DraftKings.
I have owned horses and have college credits in equine science. You act like this is a no brainer but people for over 100 yrs in the business know better.
