Originator of the now infamous "University of LSU."

Fournette did it in 2014.

University of... the boot baby LSU.

Shelton Sampson 4 star on some sites 5 on others. Did Nuss kill this kids dreams?
Sampson was at LSU in 2023 and 2024. In 2023, his quarterback won the heisman. In 2024, his quarterback threw for 4000 yards and 29 touchdowns.

In neither of those seasons did he catch a pass. In fact he dropped a touchdown pass in one of the games. I'd say he killed his own dreams.

Rashard Robinson

Legal trouble/drugs. He was solid in the league but no one wanted to put up with him.

Clifton Garrett

Played small school ball and was just one of the most overranked players in the history of college football recruiting.

Basically every tight end under Miles after Dickson

He just stopped using them. You can't tell me Deangelo Peterson couldn't have become something with proper coaching and game planning.We also signed at least two more top 5 TE recruits in Smith and Washington but never used them either.

After Dickson, here are the leaders in receiving yards for TE under Les:

2010 - Deangelo Peterson: 16 REC 198 YDS 0 TD
2011 - Deangelo Peterson: 18 REC 179 YDS 1 TD
2012 - Travis Dickson: 6 REC 73 YDS 0 TD
2013 - Travis Dickson: 5 REC 109 YDS 0 TD
2014 - Desean Smith: 4 REC 66 YDS 0 TD
2015 - Colin Jeter 12 REC 132 YDS 1 TD
2016 - Desean Smith: 10 REC 184 YDS 1 TD

Tyron Johnson

Had a decent career at OSU then bounced around in the NFL for half a decade. Solid, but somewhat of a bust out of HS.
quote:

Deion Smith

Didn't come here (or anywhere) to play school. He should have been a first round pick in the 2023 draft. Instead decided to do whatever it was that he decided to do and looks like he's finishing up his career at "Allen University" this year. Some lower level HBCU.

If I'm correct, his career went

2021 - LSU
2022 - JUCO (dominated)
2023 - signed with Ole Miss but ineligible
2024 - tried to return to Ole Miss but ineligible
2025 - nothing
2026 - D2 HBCU football

What a waste of talent.
Terrace Marshall not lasting in the NFL still doesn't make any sense to me.
quote:

Just like almost everything else today. They are exceeding the price range of the true fans that love it and want to be there and catering to the rich who doesn’t give two shits about the game and just wants to been seen and then leave at halftime.

You know this is someone selling their own tickets and not the university selling tickets, right?

The tickets, from LSU, cost half of that.
quote:

Stein is essentially his own OC. Wouldn't be surprised if Sloan is essentially just a QB coach for practical pruposes but Stein has the OC title to dish out so he gave it to him

It's been reported that Sloan is calling the plays.

I would let Sloan put together my playbook. I would never let him call my plays.

LSU offers these packages. After years and years of doing this myself, it honestly doesn't sound like the worst thing to do if you've got a larger group of people.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but it's the closest thing LSU officially offers to my knowledge.

I have no idea if pre season games count towards service or tenure in the NBA. I’m just saying that he played in games and the UT guy didn’t. That’s the difference between the two.
That's certainly what the NCAA will argue.

After looking into it a little more, players do not accrue service time, nor do they receive games checks for pre-season competition in the NBA. So, by NBA standards, he never appeared in a game.

What (imo) differentiates the two is Luis signed a contract with an NBA orginzation after going undrafted, whereas the UT guy didn't.

Still, Luis didn't sign a guaranteed NBA contract. He signed a two way deal, didn't play in the SL, was traded, waived, signed a 10 day with $0 guaranteed (payment only guaranteed if he made the roster), was waived, and never actually appeared on the G-league roster.

So at most he got a signing bonus as part of his UDFA or 10 day contracts. So we're talking, at the absolute ceiling, he could've gotten about $170k. It's very possible he never got a direct deposit from any of these contracts.

He's got a much stronger case than I originally thought.

More than ever do I wish I tried harder for an externship with the NCAAs counsel in between semesters during law school :lol:
quote:

I believe RJ Luis played in games.

He played in pre season games and was traded. Had a surgery and never played in any summer league or regular season games.

I don't believe pre-season games count toward a player's service time/tenure.

If the UT kid is ruled eligible, I don't know how it doesn't help with Luis.

Sucks for whoever thought he was starting QB and he just got replaced.
Pretty sure he was a WR first playing QB out of necessity.

How Rummel was in that position in the first place is pretty confusing. Imagine going into August thinking you have some athlete playing quarterback only to get a UGA commit to play the position a week later :lol: I bet Monica is thrilled.

Might be more likely he lands in that 2023 Herring Role where hes used later in the season when hes refined those offspeed pitches.
I was trying to temper expectations by using Williams instead of Herring :lol: but appreciate the insight.

Berry running third team rb with no pads on
5 star bust?

Are you ever not retarded? Berry ran third in one drill in the 12 minutes the media was allowed to watch the first day of fall camp.

He was also wearing the exact same equipment as every other running back.

Take a lap.

I'm not defending hazing. I'm just saying there are frats that don't haze and there are non-frats that haze.
I had a friend who was a cheerleader.

Their one day initiation process had more forced alcohol consumption than the entirety of my pledgeship, and I was in one of the bigger and more traditional fraternities.
quote:

I was told that much of that was at the presidents direction.
very likely. F King was a gigantic fig who was also an alcoholic and wanted to point the attention away from him as much as possible.
quote:

Angela whatever her name was completely wanted to sacrifice fraternities for her own gain. Many too blind to see what she was.

Yep, she's the one. There'd be like an off campus Pike hazing event and she would in turn ban all greek life from the parade grounds. It was insane.

It didn't entirely ruin college, but things were vastly different between my freshman and senior year.

we had this cool.pigmy goat with a massive set of balls

I’d imagine it would just be a slap on the wrist after they built that huge new house in the last 10 years.

If they didn't build that house, they would have been off campus by now :lol:

My fraternity was kicked off while at LSU, so we were very annoyed when Kappa Sig got their brand new house (we had one coming down the pipeline had we not been kicked off) and therefore just wasn't allowed to get into real trouble.
quote:

I was in the area and drove by the see the KE house. I forgot how nice Lamba Chi was then saw Pike on it and was confused.

My favorite is how DG is currently at the DKE house while they redo/rebuild their house. They're using the DKE "chapter room" (hazing torture chamber) as their dining hall :lol:

Those poor girls can't even imagine what things have gone on in that room. I mean i've slept in the bedrooms in the DKE house. I hope, for the DG's sake, they put some major $$ into remodeling while they're there.
quote:

Two medical emergencies during initiation week

At least one of these was entirely unrelated to any hazing/fraternity activities. A kid just happened to have a medical emergency at the wrong time.
Sigma Chi, Lamda Chi, Acacia, and Dke (among some other new row fraternities) were all booted around 2015-2018.

Greek Life director had a real hard on for the older fraternities. Not to say drugs and alcohol didn't play a big part, but it was as if all of the rules started to get enforced for the first time out of nowhere.

There was also a scandal where one of the greek life office employees at LSU was creating fake profiles on the LSU rush website in order to try and "catch" fraternities breaking rules. It was a bizarre time for greek life.
quote:

We need to have about 5 guys ready to get through a line up twice, with a couple of those capable of getting guys out a third time as well.

I feel like we already have 4 of those:

W. Schmidt
Hood
Moore
Evans

I wonder if a guy like Plog, or either of the RHP sophmores, are ready to take that jump. Maybe Velazquez can stretch out longer.

I also keep forgetting about Nawrocki. Do we think he makes a bigger impact than L. Schmidt in year 1?
quote:

Here’s to hoping he can find a role similar to Ott (09), Hess (17), Shores (23).

I could be wrong, but isn't the read on Schmidt more of a "this guy can throw strikes but won't get the strikeouts necessary to be The Guy at this stage"?

Maybe more of a 2025 Cooper Williams role could be in the cards.
