re: How many more losses?

Posted by mikedatyger on 9/30/26 at 11:57 am to
I had us at 9-3 before the year started, losing to OM, Bama, and TX.
Having Bama and TX at home is HUGE. If we did not have the injuries, I'd be more confident. No more injuries and we can compete with anyone. Just do not have the depth to keep losing key players.
Ole Miss is still very good. Not sure people were too surprised that they had a let down. I expected it.
That said, UF is very good and is one of the surprise teams, along with Moo State, in the SEC. Looking forward to Moo Stste and Bama. Starkvegas will be rock’in.
Chambliss v Leavitt
Whomever makes less mistakes and turnovers.
Chambliss' running ability scares me.
I know it's a different D this year, but after so many years, I've been conditioned to fear an opposing team with a running QB.

Hit punch shots

Should have done more of this. Usually my choked down 3/4 swings find fairways. It was just a bad day. That punch was bad, but not as bad as full swings for sure.
Thanks.

Then I would just be drunk and miserable.
Played in our League finale this past Saturday and I just choked. 4 FIR and 5 GRI. Was lucky to scramble for pars and bogeys in the first half of the front nine.

I tried everything. 5 wood off the tee. Driving iron off the tee. Choked down 3/4 swings. Nothing. Chunking irons from fairway. Thin shots from fairway.
Usually good from bunkers and just brain farts all over. Frustrating.

How do you guys reset during a round like that?

Rousse said it was moot, have not heard from the SEC. Do you have a link to the SEC current position? Have they posted an official response?

Does ESPN step in?

Seems like they have a vested interest in the league and the university athletics. LSU is a big TV draw.

Can they step in and tell Sankey to "cool it?"

It is one of the biggest draws when LSU plays Florida, Alabama, and Texas.
My friend, a Bull Gator season ticket holder, can pay for his season tickets by selling his 4 for the LSU games.
Next to FSU, the Florida fans I know pick this one over Miami, Georgia, and Tennessee any year.

If we could have the big10 we should go for it.

Why do you think the B1G would be better?
Their president/conference was the first one to condemn what LSU was doing.
They look down on the South and anything to do with the South.
Yes, we have the sports (53 National Championships), but our academics might be at the bottom of the conference, and they strongly consider that.

why was rival USC dropped from that schedule?

SC dropped them. Moving to the B1G and playing that "BRUTAL" 9-game conference schedule + ND was too much for them.

I thought they did well eating up blocks allowing LBs to shoot gaps

This! I what replays and look at the DL specifically. They consumes two to three OLmen and allowed LBs and Edge to create havoc. It was not glamorous, but effective.

No idea who that is.
Baseball games in February and March would be interesting.

S4 is actually fractionally shorter heel to toe than the S3

Interesting, several of the reviews I saw said the opposite.
Said that the S4 was a little larger.

sure the tech is going to be a little behind, but the shaft matters more than the clubhead

Totally agree. The MP20's came out in 2019. I had an opportunity to upgrade to the 245s,
but the data was not any better than what I currently hit.
IMO, getting fit with the the right shaft for your swing is essential.

Still playing my MP20 blend set and although I would LOVE to get newer clubs, I have found hat new technology does not make that big a difference for me.
