As best I can tell, the leak is somewhere beneath the actual reservoir. I’m not sure whether the reservoir itself is cracked or if there’s some sort of connection down there that is broken.

In any event, many thanks for all of the recommendations, folks! I was expecting more trolling, but there are some very good replies in this thread that are much appreciated!

Doubtful. T8&4’s starting QB is transferring out after a season in which they beat bama, probably because Jimbo likes their younger QB more. I hate it for Max, but he may never play another meaningful down if he goes there. I don’t understand why he’d make that decision, but maybe he doesn’t want to be a starter anymore? I dunno.

Damn i didn't realize people on here hated the free market so much

While I don’t agree with the OP’s ask, hiding information about income has nothing to do with “free market.” In fact, it’s anti-competitive, which is the literal opposite of free-market competition.

Why talk shite about something that you obviously don’t even have a basic understanding of?

This thread is pathetic. He’s gonna live and die by the product he puts on the field, which is obviously not good enough. End of discussion.

You people talk about football like you’re discussing The Bachelor with your girlfriends.

And it's certainly possible that he took a course that he passed but didn't bring himself closer to what he needed to get to 40%.

This is very plausible. Another possibility is that he took a class not knowing it was cross-listed for another class he’s already taken. That happened to me: an adviser suggested and registered me for the class, then I didn’t find out that it didn’t count toward my hours earned until after the semester when I was notified that I lost TOPS because it dropped me below full-time for that semester.

Ultimately, it’s the student’s responsibility, but it happens and sucks when it does.

So when is Jordy gonna start a podcast? I'd listen

---

1,000%, but I think he’s better in a real-time, daily format. Either way, I’m on board with him (T-Bob, too).

quote:

---

Basically Jordy thought he was bigger than the team. That’s all it is to it.

---

This is the correct answer. I’ve seen it many times in radio and tv.

Think about how willing Jordy was to accuse Dale Brown based on an apparently false rumor, how he’d call out J’s school system for closing due to light rain, how he was willing to shout down Dick (who’s a pretty big celebrity in this world), etc. Part of what made Jordy great was his fearlessness, but that fearlessness is also probably what led to the sudden, immediate departure. If he were trying to rile up all the on-air to demand a raise or refuse a pay cut, he did so knowing that: 1) he has the head FB coach, the head BB coach, the heisman winner’s family, the head coach of ULL, the LHSAA, the most famous name in college BB (Dick V), the father of LSU’s all-American sophomore CB, the director of the Senior Bowl, and many other big time “gets” in his back pocket; 2) Jordy was one of the top salesmen at Guarantee, having developed close relationships with the most major advertisers, as well as a handful more who are on a wait list to become title sponsors of the show; 3) he’s universally liked by his colleagues, on-air and off, and has friends in many other outlets (barstool, ESPN Bristol, SEC network, various recruiting services, the sportscasters at the other in-town stations, as well as the weather men/women and the other anchors, and many others I’m not immediately thinking of); 4) he is very, very well connected around town; and 5) he may be the most popular host at 104.5.

So combine his value as a booker, as on-air talent, as a salesman, and as an all-around well-connected guy with his willingness to go up against ANYONE. The resulting conversation could’ve gone something like this:

Management: Jordy, we’ve become aware that you’re trying to effectively unionize the other hosts to squeeze us for more money. Stop it or you’re gone.
Jordy: “...Or I’m gone?” Do you know who you’re talking to? I’m the kingmaker. I get the guests, the sales, the clicks, the downloads...You get rid of me and this ship is gonna sink.
Management: you think you’re bigger than the radio station? We made you and we can replace you. We get rid of you and we can replace you with some guy off the street.
Jordy: Do it then! Fire me and see what happens. I’ll take the audience and the sponsors with me.
Management: You’re out. Pack your shite and get out of the building right now.
Jordy: Great! I can’t wait to watch you crash and burn. You’ll be begging me to come back. Go frick yourselves.

I know that conversation is hypothetical and dramatized, but I’d bet that is exactly how it went down. He tried to lead a union-style mutiny and forced their hand. I seriously doubt they wanted it to play out like that, but Jordy’s weight backed them into a corner.

I don’t say any of that to the detriment of Jordy. If he acted that way, that’s exactly what I like so much about him. It’s the same situation that Howard Stern caused over and over again, resulting in his being fired over and over again. Same sort of circumstances.

I love T-Bob and I’m still riding with him, but I’m gonna ride with Jordy wherever he goes next. I’m a big fan of OTB and Jordy has always been great the little I’ve interacted with him. Mornings won’t be the same, and I’d love it if everybody made up, but he’s a legit star and will find something else that’ll probably be more lucrative very quickly.

The end of a golden era of Baton Rouge sports talk radio.

Possible Bama alter/troll?

Woodward is positioning himself to be the Lsu system president and wants to be viewed as The guy who cleaned up the athletic department.

---

I’m not disputing whether this is the perception from the athletic department point-of-view, but this will not happen.

To be a Chancellor, university president, university system president, the candidate is expected to be a tenured faculty member, which also requires holding a terminal degree (PhD, JD, or MD, though the latter two are much less common outside of law schools and med schools). People may not remember, but there was damn near a campus mutiny when Sean O’Keefe became the chancellor because, although he had a PhD and was the goddamn administrator of NASA, he was not previously tenured.

I’m not anti-Woodward or anything, but I think this is nothing more than a foolish pipe dream, if true. If it’s not and it actually comes to pass, LSU would become a lightning rod for criticism (both inside and outside LSU/Louisiana), a laughing stock amongst all colleges and universities (including community colleges), and it would wholly devalue every LSU degree, past and future, no matter how good a job he does.

Woodward has literally reached the ceiling of the collegiate athletic administration field. There is no higher position he can hold at LSU unless he completes a PhD and receives a tenured faculty position.

I’m editing to add that he undoubtedly knows this and, if so, that to me says he is a raging egomaniac, which gravely concerns me.

Way to double down on being super cringeworthy!
