A Chipotle/Izzos downtown

An Italian deli like Anthony's or Cannatella might do well if you avoid the Government St. area.

Or copy the Kolache Kitchen model and run it competently.

I gave up fighting for microwave time and just got one of these for my desk. Works well, just need to remember to plug it in ahead of time because it takes a long time to heat.

Did y'all get the Earnings Enhancement at the end of 2025? Normally it goes in around December 31, but I don't see it in my kid's account.

Nothing for me in our account. Wouldn't be surprised if they're backlogged with trying to properly credit deposits that went through while they were down due to the cyber incident.

Who are these people?
Democrats

There are also about 800,000 No Party voters registered who have the option of voting in either primary. Many will likely vote in the Republican Closed Primary.

Ice cold take; going to be Cassidy and Letgow in the Closed Primary Runoff.

Please correct me if I'm wrong; I don't think a No Party voter can skip the 1st and vote in the runoff. And obviously, a unaffiliated voter cannot vote in the Democrat closed primary and the Republican closed primary runoff. (No switching ballots).

LSU Alum Neal Skupski going for his 2nd Men's Doubles slam tonight. -180 favorite.

Finished as runner up twice last year in the French and US Open. Won 2023 Wimbledon. Also won a couple of mixed doubles Wimbledon titles in 2021 and 2022.

Granted this is just for ESPN so the Big10 games on CBS probably brings this number higher overall. ESPN Men's vs Women's viewership.

Men's

Games in February and March across ESPN platforms averaged 1.2 million viewers – up 18% from last year and the best average for these months since the 2018-19 season.

Women's

Regular Season: Women’s college basketball delivered its most-watched regular season on ESPN platforms since 2008-09. Viewership for the 2024-25 campaign finished 3% above the historic 2023-24 regular season with a whopping 41% increase over 2022-23. In all, the 87 women’s games across ESPN platforms averaged 280,000 viewers.

People dont want to hear this, but this is the closest I can get to a breakdown.

Per ChatGPT and its sources, Each SEC school for the 24/25 school year made roughly $55 from the SEC/ESPN TV deal for all sports.

I asked it to then give me the LSU breakdown by sport and it essentially said that there are no real numbers available in the public. So I asked it to use past years, contract info that is available, look at as many schools around the big 4 conferences as a reference and give it a best guess.
This is what it said.

Category Approx % of Value LSU Portion (Estimate)
Football ~75 % ~$38–40M
Men’s Basketball ~15–20 % ~$8–11M
All Other Sports & Misc. ~5–10 % ~$3–5M


So, yes, what is going on is that LSU is spending just about the same amount of money on womens and mens basketball and the TV deal is what makes the Mens bb make money and womens bb (and every single other sport including baseball) lose money.

I didn't do a deep dive on viewership of LSU mens bb games v women's bball games, but the women definitely out perform them on ticket sales. I'd be interested to know if ESPN is paying LSU specifically for ultimately no one to watch the LSU mens games.



As an aside, the amount of money that is from mens bball, just in general, but specifically from being a part of the SEC, makes the fact that we have suffered thru McMahon a travesty. It's kind of inexcusable.

So ChatGPT basically says it doesn't know and can't find an answer then makes one up.


How much value each sport contributed to the $27.6 million Not Related to Specific Teams deal is debatable. And I'm sure this deal is more than just broadcast rights for specific sports.

There's also this $28.8 million of Contributions (donations/TAF) that are Not Related to Specific Teams



If LSU were to allocate a share of these funds based on value to WBB and baseball. Both would easily be profitable.

Anthony Richardson was a terrible QB in college and went #4.

Nuss has always looked great in drills and practice. Then once the lights come on he regresses.

That said, some GM is going to see him arm strength and think "We can fix him." I think 2nd round isn't out of the question considering the lack of high tier offensive prospects this year.

Ole Miss can do LSU a solid today if they can take down Vandy and give them their second loss.
