re: Remember the tiny first basemen Pulmonary used to play?

PM had some good ones there for a while. Then he suddenly stopped recruiting true first baseman and decided to start trying to convert middle infielders. It worked out with Deichman, but not really with anyone else.

This really just shows that the Rebs constant bitching and whining was even more pathetic.

Not a peep from Sankey.

If you read everything that's been reported, it's hard to argue against Clemson's accusations. What's he supposed to say? "Nah, shite didn't happen."

Golding fricked around and got caught. We all know every coach does it (except maybe Dabo) but Pete went full retard and texted the kid directly.

Edit: All he had to do was text an intermediary and this thing is a non-issue.

It pisses me the frick off everyone throwing Indiana into that conversation.

1. Chill tf out.
2. No one with a brain looks at those two team's stats and goes "Yea, IU would've beaten them." Everyone who does that is trolling LSU fans. I would too if it were me.
3. Stop being a little bitch.

Maybe not, but a terrible offensive scheme and play calling certainly will. It does, however, prevent the thrower from getting the most out of their arm and push the ball vertically down the field.

Considering donations to TAF are tax deductible, I'd venture to say the answer is yes. Just because they don't publicize it doesn't mean it's not happening.

re: Pressures on to win the title next yr.

Just saying, Cignetti made the playoffs in year 1 at Indiana with a full roster overhaul built of 22-25 year olds out of the portal. Lane just did a full roster overhaul built on the best talent available at every position of need.

Point is, this team is built to win now from a talent perspective. It’s all about executing now. Which, oddly enough, I’m not really worried about with basically just a transplanted offensive staff and majority returning defensive staff. These guys know what to do in order execute Kiffin’s plan on offense and Baker’s on defense.

This is a national title contender on paper. If they can execute, that’s the potential.

How we’re getting all this money for BK buyout, Lane, staff buyout and portal, I don’t know

LSU has some extremely deep pocketed donors that have private companies. People assume because there aren’t a ton of large publicly traded companies associated with LSU that they don’t have a shite ton of money. Everyone points to Todd Graves, but he’s not even LSU’s largest donor. MMR, for example (since their planes are used pretty regularly by LSU), has over 10,000 employees and is one of the top 10 largest electrical contractors (usually hovers around #5) in the world operating in 35 countries…. Privately held by one guy in Baton Rouge. There are multiple examples of similar companies that are privately held and worth billions owned by one person. Then there are the donors who own smaller companies (under $1 billion in estimated value) of which there are even more.

Point is, no one actually knows exactly how much LSU’s donors are worth because it’s all owners of private companies. 3 of the largest ship builders/operators in world (including the largest in the US), 2 of the largest venture capital firms, multiple offshore service companies, countless lawyers (Gordon is just the loudest), and the Chicken King. All in all, it’s safe to estimate that the LSU donor pool has a collective net worth upwards of $30 BILLION. And that’s conservative considering Graves has an estimated net worth of $22 billion.

Edits: * largest ship builder in the US
*Graves net worth is now estimated at $22B

Clearly Chat GPT has some more learning to do. Aggie ain’t won anything in 87 years. They’re not winning one in 2037.

At the end of the day, if you bring in the right kids, take care of them financially, and establish a good culture, the portal can only help you.

All is fair in love and war - Ole Miss Tampering

As tampering persists, Luke Ferrelli and Ole Miss is a college football problem
By David Hood
9 hours ago

Clemson’s Luke Ferrelli problem is really a college football problem. Clemson fans were excited when the Tigers signed former Cal linebacker Luke Ferrelli out of the transfer portal. The ACC defensive freshman of the year put up big numbers at Cal and was expected to slide in beside Sammy Brown as a playmaker.

Ferrelli was on campus and, as we were told, was working out in the weight room on Friday and getting to know his teammates. I spoke with Ferrelli after the signing and he was excited to get back to Clemson and start classes.

Then Ole Miss began to tamper, making an initial offer to Ferrelli and then adding to it when it appeared the first offer wasn’t enough. Clemson was made aware of what was going on and the hope was that the Tigers would keep Ferrelli, but it’s now obvious that he is headed to Ole Miss. What are Clemson’s options?

As I was told this morning by two sources close to the situation, this is more than a Clemson problem. This is a college football problem, especially when coaches can openly tamper with a player. And Clemson won’t let this one go. I’ve been told the administration is looking at all options, and I don’t expect a resolution in the next few days. Maybe a week or two. But as I was told this morning by one source, Clemson is not the school you want to mess with when it comes to this.

Why? Because other coaches are reticent to call out other coaches, because everyone keeps receipts – Pete Golding at Ole Miss might be hesitant to call out Lane Kiffin because Kiffin knows where the bodies are buried. And vice versa. But as one person texted me this morning, “Nobody has receipts on our guy.”

My guess is that “our guy” will not hesitate to call out what he has seen, especially if he was shown evidence of tampering. In other words, Clemson won’t look the other way on this and it could get messy. It should get messy. Because, as I said above, this is more than a Clemson problem; it’s a college football problem. I had one coach tell me this morning, “This is completely unhealthy and broken and unsustainable. If this type of blatant tampering is allowed, then we have no college football.”

As our Brandon Rink said this morning, now that the Miami’s and the Ole Miss’s of the world have gotten a taste of the College Football Playoff apple, they want more. And they will do whatever it takes to get that next bite.

Not bashing the move by the Rebs, the irony of their bitching is just hilarious :lol:

re: Lane/Corey's reason for no portal CB?

Posted by ibleedprplngld on 1/17/26 at 9:21 am to dstone12

If Kiffin/Baker/Raymond thought we needed a CB or that those in the portal would be an upgrade, they’d have some in the class. They obviously are confident in the group they have.
