Nate needs to stop fighting


I disagree.

That felt like the playoffs and we're only on Game 6


Because this is his goal.
Apparently this is the MacKinnon fighting era and I’m here for it
Tommy White hit a HR to beat Wake Forest in 2023, and after I finished running around I asked my wife if she'd allow me to take my 6 year old to Omaha.

She said yes, and we were gone the next morning on the road to be at all three championship series games. :geauxtigers:

LSU has the view from the seat 3D thing. Check it out.

Is the railing on the left side an obstruction?


Not at all.

Kamara has had one of the most overrated careers ever. HOF talk with him is laughable to me.


I don't know that I'd say one of the most overrated careers - peak Kamara was damned near unstoppable.

The problem is that peak Kamara relied on that explosive first step, acceleration from there, and ability to more or less avoid contact in ways we don't usually see. Unfortunately, and quickly for most RBs (as it did him), you lose those first two things pretty quickly.

The difference between him and a guy like Henry isn't the workload, it's the difference in what made one versus the other.

Again, peak Kamara was unbelievable, but 10 years in the league and the body was going to wear down on his explosiveness - let alone the injuries.

He's easily the best QB talent we've had since Jayden Daniels


Really going on a whim there given that he's only the second starter since Jayden that didn't play due to injury to the intended starter.

EDIT: and i'm being easy on Leavitt a bit and think that if he returns next year there will be a lot of development, but we're looking at Nuss vs Leavitt at this point lol.

Kingfish 2026 vs Zydeco 2025 who wins?


No doubt, Kingfish. Noah Giesbrecht alone will ensure that over Bailey Stephens and Ed Coffey.

Better ownership group dedicated to winning. Better coaching (Jimmy Soper is in his first year as a coach, but has a very good history in leadership roles in Knoxville). Better talent (Jimmy brought in quite a few dudes from Knoxville).

There is a visa issue with the FPHL that they think will resolve with Immigration soon, but the talent on this roster is truly there.

EDIT: I'd hope to see Willie Lavalliere back soon. He and Noah would be one hell of a combo, both with ECHL talent in the crease.

it was great when we had the icegators, kingfish and brass. 3 louisiana ECHL teams. we packed the cajundome. 9k fans a game. set records.

best of luck to ya'll.


I'd love to see that come back, but unfortunately - NOLA doesn't have anywhere willing with ice capability. The Cajundome doesn't want hockey back, for whatever reason.

The Fed is currently doing a cross-country expansion, we might see quite the influx of talent and legitimacy in the league (especially with other initiatives in motion).

I'd love nothing more than to see the Brass or IceGators return.
Things have changed quite a bit. You have guys from the FPHL now signing two-way contracts with NHL systems at the AHL/ECHL level with many others getting AHL camp tryouts. ECHL level guys coming down, and the SPHL/FPHL in a battle for single A level control.

Is it NHL level hockey? No, of course not, but that does not take away the fun of it all.

The Kingfish raised the prices a bit in comparison to the Zydeco, but such is life these days, unfortunately. It's still a great time being around hockey regardless.

e should beat UK, State and Aubie if we have anything. November is gonna be tough, have to stack wins now.


Really need to avoid anymore injuries these next three with Ws. If we can, and get Weeks/Green back for November, then look out.
You can save a good bit of money by buying tickets at the box office onsite prior to the game and avoid the Ticketmaster fee craziness, but the Kingfish return against the Monroe Moccasins on the 16th! Puck drop at 7pm.

Come out and enjoy hockey under a competent ownership group, with a team that has plenty of ECHL/SPHL talent playing at the FPHL level, and let's pack the River Center!

Coach Soper has done a hell of a job stacking the roster, particularly raiding the Knoxville Ice Bears :cheers:

Saban kind of alluded to that he was truly undecided and that maybe Skip could have convinced him into staying.


I don’t necessarily doubt this to be true; however, Saban clearly had an itch to scratch. If it wasn’t Miami, it would’ve been a different opportunity in the NFL.

Saban clearly was not a Kirk Ferentz at the time he was at LSU. He wanted something “more.” And thus, what he says to be his biggest regret.

Maybe add another random arse win or two in there... but this team doesn't have it. No grit. No fire. We're going to be losing a lot this season. Maybe Jeremiah Smith will be our guy next to Olave?

Overall the season was okay, flashed at times, but drug toward the end. Probably like a 6.5/10.


I really wish that Ashley would've been able to stay in the game longer - by all accounts from those that made jury, she was going to be an insanely huge threat in every way.

I really, really, hope that we have the two year renewal on BB because 30 is going to be all stars and that they cast that correctly. It was the last "decent" season we've had, and the show clearly needs a shot in the arm to keep going.

Give me Tucker, Kamu, Keanu and Yash in the same house. It might burn down :lol:

EDIT: frick it, add Vince and Drew plus Derek and Quinn and you might have the male side of the house just fricking implode :lol: :lol:

People liked her???


It's a season I really try to keep in the "delete" bin of my brain, but I think it was mainly because of how she was ostracized and treated at the beginning of her season.

People love the victim card, though her speech was actually pretty dang solid (if I remember correctly) and I think "victor, not victim" was the driving point home.
Taylor Hale, unfortunately, won both recently.

Has Tiger Voodoo checked in yet? I thought Taylor was supposed to be a shoe in victory



Nope. He was definitely right though. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I could be wrong, but I don't think she actually meant that to be race-related and instead was more about his celebrity status and getting the DPOV. I can totally see why I could be wrong about that though, it's the sad reality of BB these days.
