re: So Kailin Chio’s tiny step on dismount…
Posted by Blanding on 4/18/26 at 6:09 pm to StadiumDormNEZ72
Hind sight is always 20/20.
When LSU was, in my opinion, underscored on the floor during the first rotation and OU was inflated or failed to recieve deductions for multiple misses on the vault the die was cast. LSU went to the vault, the same 1/2 steps received much larger deductions than OU. In those two rotations, I believe you're talking at least a .2 swing in total score which would obviously have been the difference. Yes, they took the lead after the 3rd rotation but only by .07. Maybe, those last two roations go differently if there is more pressure on OU.

I too have Samsung and have not had many issues but I'm missing the game tonight because of the app not loading.
I'm in for either.
re: Texas A&M 7, LSU 2 FINAL (softball)
Posted by Blanding on 3/14/26 at 8:33 pm to 18handicap
I've been watching LSU softball for a long time. I enjoy the pace of the game and it's evolution from slapping and bunting to scratch out a run to today's bombers. This is the dullest team in Beth's era. There's no joy or spark. In every game it's death by a thousand self inflicted wounds. Physical errors, mental errors, passed balls, throwing to wrong bases, etc. You see better tactical ball in little league. Over the years Beth's teams have been sound; this team isn't. Without reading too much into what you see on tv, there seems to be something going on much deeper between the players, coaches, and dugout.

"Mens Basketball is a money maker and with a competent coach and more people in the seats, it could be a big economic driver for the school."
Regardless of the coach or the record, basketball will NOT be a big economic driver, UNLESS the broadcast contracts change. The women's team has large crowds and deep runs in the dance and still lose a bunch of money. Why? Broadcast contract payments are insignificant compared to the men's game. We have been abysmal for four years in men's basketball. Weak attendance and no dancing, yet they make money. Why? Broadcast contract payments which are insignificant to the broadcast contract payments in football. Those willing to pay for advising rights know where the "eyes" are looking.

The two sports that make money do so because of tv contracts. The best example is in men's and women's basketball right here in tigertown. The women lose money with large crowds and deep runs in the tournament. The men make money and the product is ??? All about the eyes on the product and what advertisement is willing to pay for a ROI.

The men have the potential to make more money. Not because of attendance, but because to television contracts and March Madness. Recently, the women's game has been drawing more eyes but it has not translated to new tv deals and bigger pay outs.
The television contracts are the money maker for football too.

Fall Lawn Cocktail Spray rates
Posted by Blanding on 9/19/25 at 5:21 pm
I've calibrated my sprayer for 1000 sq ft. If my calculations are correct, I need 1 2/3 Tablespoons of Prodiamine 65 wdg and 2 teaspoons of Celsius wg. Do these dry measure volumes look correct for each 1000 sq ft of St Augustine?

I've mentioned that I taught at Clemson (88-92). This was during the end of the Danny Ford era. I was the faculty sponsor for the Letterman's Club. My goodness that was a colorful time. Your explanation of the pronunciation is spot on.
I taught a night class down at Newberry, dangerously close to Gamecock country. I required the class to meet once during the semester on campus. I was giving directions and one of the students said, "Just drive north. When you get close, roll down your windows and follow your nose." Clemsum
is the A&M University for South Carolina and had lots of bovine Agriculture.

It's been awhile since I taught at Clemson. I was there for four years and the entry is legit. The people in the stands can see the team loading onto the busses and the crowd starts to rev it up. As the busses make it around the stadium and the players begin to assemble around Howard's Rock, the stadium comes alive. Everthing is well choreographed.
When they split the students that are sitting on the hill in the end zone, roll out the orange carpet and charge down the hill - it's impressive. I've attended lot's of sporting events and this entrance is worth seeing.

Your picture is better than the one I took.

re: Arkansas natives who became historic head coaches
Posted by Blanding on 6/28/25 at 2:31 pm to Harry Rex Vonner
Don't forget an offensive innovator, Red Parker from Fordyce. He coached at The Citadel and Clemson. I was fortunate to get to know Coach while he was leading the Fighting Okra at Delta State. He left DSU to be offensive coordinator at Ole Miss
I taught at Clemson and was the Letterman faculty Club sponsor. The ESSO Club the OP referenced is legit!

My fondest memories of attending LSU football games in the late 50ies and into the 60ies was this perk for Louisiana coaches. Train ride from Shreveport to Baton Rouge, stay with my uncle that taught at LSU. That was special.
