re: Texas A&M senior will transfer to LSU to continue volleyball career

Em is out of eligibility for the indoor game, and she graduated.

If a player switches sports, they gain an additional year of eligibility.

I think I saw in another thread that she is moving to beach volleyball because she can go pro in that.

Also, Why LSU? because we have one of the best BVB programs in the country.

re: Has the sugar industry become exploitative in south Louisiana?

Posted by GetmorewithLes on 12/27/25 at 1:53 pm to frequent flyer

quote:
Farmers burn sugarcane fields before harvest to clear away dry leaves and tops, making it easier and cheaper to harvest the sugar-rich stalks. This practice creates significant air pollution and particulate from the burning of the organic matter and all pesticides/herbicides sprayed in those fields......but environmental regulators look the other direction for the sugar industry.

This tells me you know absolutely nothing about sugar cane farming. Farmers do not burn fields before harvest. You may have seen that on TV somewhere in equatorial climates but not here. Fields are burned after cane is cut. Leaves are shucked on the ground by the cutter and burned later. They have to burn the chaff because the fields are flat as a pancake and the leaves would accumulate in a rain and cause flooding, erosion, and rot/disease.

As for the ash and smoke they are relatively harmless to nature because they are a one off event per year. The ash is nothing but carbon charcoal and is harmless.

As for the economic side. The revenue is so low that farms need 2000+ acres to make a decent profit yr over yr.

Stocked a couple college apts for furniture back in the day. Used to buy paperbacks there a lot.

I had a BIL that was dirt poor when he died and bought him clothes to be buried in. Was actually some decent stuff.

I think we’re gonna see coaches use RBs differently this year with the 9-game SEC schedule.

I do too and Durham is a decent pass catching back. I have not seen enough on Berry to make that assessment.

This is kinda what I was looking for. I just never heard what was wrong with it and what his prognosis was as for playing time this season.

The portal hasn't even opened yet, and Curne has signalled he would be open to coming back to LSU. Echols may reconsider as well, if they want to make a run at him.

I half suspected that Curne and Echols were making the first move on the chess board to renegotiate their NIL. This is what happens when 1) you boast about how much money you have to spend and 2) you prioritize a few unproven players over the ones you already have or in this case look to spend it on newcomers.

I learned a long time ago in a motivational training class that money is not a motivator but instead it is a demotivator, specifically the lack of it. When you feel you are being undervalued you get demotivated. When you get a raise it only takes about 3 months for you to acclimatize yourself to that worth and any motivation from the bump is shortlived.

Jaland Lowe injury status?

Cat fans, what specificly is Jaland Lowe’s shoulder injury and what is his prognosis?

UK looked like a different team vs St John with him on the floor.

That was a completely different case. Pavia played at a JUCO, which does not fall under the NCAA umbrella, and had to file a lawsuit to get his waiver. Chambliss has been under the NCAA umbrella all 5 years of his college career.

Not really different. Every player that ever played at a JUCO had to count those yrs if the moved up to NCAA level. Pavia filed his lawsuit on NCAA denying him his opportunity to earn NIL for some reason. The judge issued a stay or a continuance and the case would not be tried before the season. The NCAA conceded to a degree and granted him a waiver that only applied to him because of his court case. Others last year in similar situations had their cases rejected by NCAA and some got approved. Each case is different.

Chambliss’ case is not that big of a stretch.

People think 2-3 RBs is enough. I remember a few yrs back Texas had their top 5 RBs all injured at the same time…

re: Rewatching the OM and LSU game. Boys were very good on defense

Posted by GetmorewithLes on 12/24/25 at 6:28 pm to ArcticTiger

No Dipshit, Denbrock left because Kelly wanted him to share OC Duties with Sloan when Sloan made a Powerplay using the Underwood Angle.

Keep reading the TD conspiracy theory dude. BK had the Heisman winner OC and the #1 offense in the NCAA and he was going to frick it up on a Co-OC staff change for a QB that was 3 yrs out from playing. There was no mention of any Co-OC at LSU until long after Denbrock was gone that was Sloan/Hankton. Any moron would know that if Sloan warranted a Co-OC title then he should have gotten the full OC title when Denbrock left.

In 2022 Underwood was just coming into the spotlight and he didnt even visit LSU until summer of 23.
