quote:doesn't ESPN usually pick some "celebrity" that's somehow related to the town or school, but not actual former football players or coaches?
Honey Badger, Coach O, Burrow/Chase, Daniels, and Fournette are good ones I can see as being realistic.
I'm sure there have been some, but that's not usually ESPN's focus.

Do you really think LSU needs more attention "to the brand?" We're an extremely well-known football program by everyone in the country who knows anything about football. And we hired one of the hottest coaches in the country.
The LSU brand is already very well known. Any additional gains of brand awareness is marginal.

It still boggles my mind that a black athlete would play for a team named for the confederacy.
You do know the Tigers were named after a Confederate regiment.
And many states were named after foreign rulers who presided over a colonizing empire that allowed slavery.
So don't play for UVA, West Virginia, UNC, South Carolina, UGA, Maryland.
Oh, and LSU too, since Louisiana was named after Louis XIV.

Lach actually has good numbers overall, but they are scared to death of hanging one over the plate and having it launched.

I watch almost zero baseball, but I've watched the last few minutes. Our pitcher is missing by 2 feet.
Can a D-I pitcher not throw a strike?

Isn't there like a 20s pitch clock in college baseball? And every pitch matters.

hate to break it too you, but there is actually more "down time" in a football game than there is in a baseball game.
In baseball, a ball isn't often put into play, and many times, it's a routine ball when only 1 fielder moves to get it. Baseball is mostly the same guy standing in the same spot, throwing a ball to another guy crouching in the same spot, and nothing happens.
Sorry, but baseball is a very slow game with little action.

I don't get this shite in regards to sports. I watch 3 games per weekend bc I like it. I'm not in a hurry to finish. This isn't homework or torture or something. IMO it's extremely unprofessional when the announcers discuss the game being too long. This is their job and it's our entertainment. Now when games take too long due to commercials like football, well that's a different story. But that's why I like baseball and hockey
But there's far too much dead time in baseball, and they need to continue to tweak rules to help speed things up (for example, the pitch clock has helped).

I thought this board was heavy conservative leaning politically and loved capitalism…but lots of hate on capitalism in this thread.
But sports isn't a true free market endeavor.
For a sports league to remain interesting to fans, there must be some level of parity among teams. The games have to be competitive and compelling. Otherwise, fan's lose interest and the league will suffer.
That's why pro leagues have salary caps and roster limits.
So there are limits in sports that shouldn't exist in the normal business world. And that's ok.
64 is plenty of teams. It's still a big accomplishment to make the tournament. Enough is enough, and the constant need to expand should be resisted here.

So fundamentally change the game of baseball?
For the record that is what you're suggesting.
Every other sport periodically tweaks their rules to make the game more interesting.
Baseball has made a few changes over the past few years (pitch clock, video challenges, etc.). Those have been good.
They should continue to implement other changes.

Should there be a limit on pitchers?
Also, a pitching change should be lightning fast. No warmup pitches. It's their responsibility to warm up in the bullpen (maybe a slight exception for an injury).
Football and basketball don't allow substitutes to warm up on the field while the game is halted.
That would save many minutes per game and keep it moving. Baseball, by its nature, is very slow. They need to find ways to not slow it down further.

quote:correct.
Les's problem was using RBs when the 11 players on defense and their coaches knew he was going to use the RB.
It wasn't that Les ran the ball. It was that he telegraphed when and where he was running the ball with an unimaginative offensive scheme.
Among all else, an OC needs to be unpredictable and keep the defense guessing.

CFB is money ball now. LSU is playing the game to win because LSU is a championship program. The 5% who have a problem with it are phaggots.
Now sure, I'm happy my team will get good players, but my emotional attachment to LSU football is drastically lower than it was 5 years ago. And I've loved LSU football for 50+ years.
But the game I loved is gone. And that's a shame.

How can yall not love Coach O? He loved LSU and did a lot to bring us back to relevance after the Miles years.
Now yes, O gets credit for bringing them in, but Burrow wasn't in high demand at the time. And O wasted Burrow and all the other NFL talent on offense in 2018 under Ensminger's pedestrian offense.
Only when Brady came in 2019 was it all unleashed.
2019 was glorious, but the program when straight downhill after Burrow and Brady left.
