Why can’t you do simple analysis to see this is who he is when he doesn’t have elite high end talent?


Good thing he is able to get elite high end talent every once in awhile huh. Not to mention, there is not nearly enough data to support your theory of "who he is". In fact there is more data to support the asinine idea that he is guaranteed to win the CWS every odd numbered year.

The last two coaches that we’ve had that put together historically bad seasons didn’t last long here


They weren't fired for ONE historically bad season. They were fired over a stretch of mediocre to bad seasons and in Manieri's case, virtual retirement.

I can promise you one thing, baseball won’t be much better next year and it may be worse


And I can PINKY promise you it will be. Because we ALWAYS "put together historically great seasons we haven't seen in 40 years" every other year. At least my ridiculous promise, unlike yours, has at least a modicum of evidence to support it happening.

Before this season Mac Bingham was the worst we took.


At first glance, I wanted to disagree so I took a look at his stats. Good Lord, he may need to be moved down. He hit .250, didnt hit for power, had an ok OBP. but struck out twice as often as he walked. The worst though was TWO total hits after April.

He did the EXACT same thing in SEC play in 2023, and the guys who looked like shite in April gave us big innings in June.
Good Lord he has some movement

How can someone seriously say this series isn’t rigged after that?


Because its 7-2? Occam's razor. If the umpire makes shite calls….its likely he is just a shite umpire, not a con man on the take
If ESPN wouldnt cover 15% of the screen advertising themselves, State couldve seen the call before challenging.

Sucks to be them. And ESPN.

Yet Bama extended Kalen DeBoer..


If Kelly had won 20 games the last two years and made the playoffs and the SEC game, we would've left a Brinks truck in his driveway. Deboer won four games against ranked teams in four weeks last year. Kelly won five games against ranked teams. In four years.

re: Perkins draft stock

I will never forget his inability to get into the endzone on the OU INT which IMO cost LSU the game. He was lucky to even get the ball...a DL in the middle of the field deflected it to the sideline. And he STILL couldn't get the pick 6 when all he had to do was beat the QB.


Of all the things to bring up against Perkins, you go with this? Lets forget for a sec that MVB threw a ridiculous int the next play instead of walking into the end zone. On the INT it was 3rd down and Perkins was man up against the slot WR who was on a shallow cross, and even if the throw had not been tipped, he likely makes a tackle before the first. The ball was indeed tipped and he caught it near midfield and while yeah, he probably should've scored, its not like he was loafing. A fairly athletic QB had the angle on him and pushed him out.

It also happened to be one of the better games of his career.

I wouldn't draft him either, but the OU game would certainly not be the reason why.
quote:

or a favor to his OC Father on the Senior Bowl MVP.


This is the single dumbest draft narrative in the history of ignorant draft narratives. To actually conceive one of 31 teams in a billion dollar industry is going to "do a favor" for an assistant coach of a competing team and waste a 2nd-3rd round pick?

Hell, the Saints staff could have all go home today and left it up to Doug Nussmier to run their draft and HE wasn't taking his own kid unless he honestly thought he was worth the pick. The NFL isnt a plant turnaround where some purchasing agent throws a valve order to his deer camp buddy.
quote:

I don’t get why people keep bringing him up, he wouldn’t have played for us this year. He was never going to start over brown, curiel, stanfield in the outfield


A solid .300 hitter on a loaded SEC team was definitely going to be playing for this team this year. If I recall, he was hitting over .350 a few weeks ago. I wouldn't trade places with any program in the country, but, hindsight and all, I wish like hell we had done whatever it was necessary to keep him.

re: Money dance at a wedding

Posted by Basura Blanco on 4/19/26 at 12:58 am to
Walked away with ~$800 from our reception at the Piedmont Club. In 1989. It helps to have two drunk coonass Sort-of-Uncles trying to Win the reception. And while indeed a trashy south Louisiana tradition, it paid for our move and first few months rent in a Houston apartment a few months later. Otherwise we might have been stuck with jobs in trashy Baton Rouge for the last 35 plus years.

The only other wedding gift I can remember is a rice cooker. I used that bullet proof Hitachi fricker just this week for perfectly cooked jambalaya. And while still kicking arse after north of a thousand servings of rice, its still not worth $800. Close, but not quite.
Cancer is certainly more brutal physically, but Alzheimer's/dementia is hands down the worst thing possible for a family to have to deal with. Nothing else comes close imo.

For some reason I thought it was Hank Jr. or someone really big for the time.

I know George Jones and Merle Haggard played there a month or so apart not soon after they opened.

Two were good but one was truly bad


I was at the really bad one. Coked to the gills, pissed at the world, shaking so bad he couldnt hold on to guitar pic. Went off big time on a band member in lead in to first song. I dont believe he finished first song, longhaired redneck before kicking out a stage light and stumbling off stage. As a 17 yr old drunk off my arse and twenty feet away, a 6' 10" insane ex-con almost stroking out in rage left quite the impression.

Went to three others of his there as well...or maybe it was 3 total. Lot of things happened in that place that I don't remember. And thats probably a good thing. I do remember that a stretch in one show that was just as insane for how good it was in his condition at the time.

Multiply that times 85 (or whatever the hell scholarship limits are these days) and you get a clearer understanding of the results of the last two seasons
