Then Thomas toured the $28 million state of the art LSU football operations building that Kiffin has compared to that of NFL teams. And it was like nothing Thomas had ever seen.

“They showed me the facilities and it was a major upgrade from where I’m coming from,” Thomas said. “I fell in love with the facilities. That’s really just my thing. I love the facilities.”

Thomas found time to play pickleball with Kiffin at the LSU football facility.

“He was really good at pickleball. I’m not going to lie,” Thomas said. “I thought coach Kiffin was a cool dude.”

you can injure yourself getting out of the shower.

Should we prevent our players from that too?

Pickleball is a curse that defaces perfectly good tennis courts. It should be banned.

I once asked Saban why he didn’t take matt Mauck out the Florida game with a 36-7 lead with 3 minutes left.
That is why i no longer have any arse left.
But to sum it up “ you can’t anticipate injuries”

I feel like we “upgrade” it every two years. It better be the best!

I can’t stand how athletic it’s not. And, yes, it’s loud. The players are also louder than the average tennis players. It’s just obnoxious.
