re: How best to advise family member who is showing potential as a HS recruit.
Posted by Settlement Alliance on 2/23/26 at 12:18 pm to The Baker
Camps, camps, camps. You should attend one every weekend during the summer if possible. Every group of five team hosts a camp, and many programs also offer satellite camps.
Recruiting is all about marketing yourself. College coaches are far more likely to engage with athletes who consistently show up, put in the work, and demonstrate genuine interest in their program than with athletes who only send game film.
Lastly, at a camp, you're more likely to find a straight shooter (recruiter, coach at Uni) who tells you the reality of your family member making it at that level.

I’m not going to pretend LSU wouldn’t do the same thing if they were in this situation, but even if they did, this is just what football in the South is all about.
That said, the kid clearly has strong ties to the Ole Miss camp, and they weren’t left with many options. Sure, this is a somewhat theatrical way of securing a player’s eligibility, and I can understand why they’re treating it as a moral victory after losing Lane. They’re going to ride this wave for as long as they can.
Whatever. I was pretty bitter when the news broke three hours ago, but at the end of the day, I’ll embrace good football in the fall.
Even though his medical redshirt case is a rare one, it’s hard not to think this situation has created some tension with the NCAA. Ole Miss will likely be under close scrutiny for a long time.

I have zero issue with the kids showing up, getting merch, and dipping. The team sucks, and the hats were sick af.
Put out a better product. Get a coach with a pulse. Win games. It's not hard to figure out. This is just a sign of the times, and the result you get for losing.
When I was there for the entire Wade era, the promo items were an afterthought. The games were live, and the team produced wins and plenty of NBA talent.

re: Baseball in Tiger Stadium
Posted by Settlement Alliance on 1/29/26 at 10:31 am to pgaddxn
Playing a baseball game in Tiger Stadium is almost impossible. The physical dimensions of the stadium do not allow geometry to produce a regulation baseball field. For example, the right field foul pole would land at roughly 200 feet, which is drastically below the 300 to 330-foot minimum. But the problem becomes even more extreme when you look at how right field would have to be configured: right field would literally end up on top of the east side bleachers.
This is the same broader issue that explains why football stadiums generally can’t be dual-use for baseball: baseball demands a wide, asymmetrical, semi-circular outfield, whereas football infrastructure is built as a narrow rectangle with steep seating stacks close to the sidelines. You can’t expand the outfield into the stands without either (a) demolishing seating, or (b) construct collapsable bleachers.
Tiger Stadium has no such engineering. It has no collapsible structures, no removable seating, no modular walls, no hidden outfield turf, and no structural clearances. Right field cannot be “made” it already belongs to the east side bleachers.

When did we start using the L hand sign? Sometime between 2013 and 2016, I think. If I remember correctly, it was used a lot when “Bitch, I’m from Louisiana” would play before kickoffs. I also remember Sonic Sam throwing up Ls back in 2011 and 2012.
re: What classes are the football players in these days?
Posted by Settlement Alliance on 1/22/26 at 12:27 pm to Tigernomics
I took an interior design class with Naz Reid, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Grant Delpit. No lie, on the first day I sat right next to Jefferson. He passed out during class with his hoodie tied tight around his head. He crashed so hard in the seat next to me, his wallet fell out of his pocket and his Tiger Card slid onto the floor.
When class ended, I noticed his Tiger Card under my seat. For a split second, I had to decide: do I keep it or hand it back? But I figured he already had enough going on, and after his Fiesta Bowl performance a few weeks earlier, it was clear he was about to blow up. I’m not one to hinder greatness so I said, “Hey Justin, I think this is yours,” and gave it back. He just nodded and said, “Thanks, bro.”

re: It’s January 2020 & someone tells you Indiana will a natty before LSU wins another one
Posted by Settlement Alliance on 1/20/26 at 12:04 pm to cbree88
If someone in January 2020 told me that Indiana would win a national championship before LSU won another one, I would’ve had two ways to evaluate that statement.
First, it would imply that a historically basketball-oriented school managed to build a dominant football program in a conference typically controlled by one, maybe two teams. That would suggest Indiana began recruiting at an elite level, and that the school hired a coach who was arguably second only to Nick Saban. Because even with talent, building a high-end football product at a basketball school with limited resources would be wildly impressive. From any angle, it would signal that the college football “arms race” had finally leveled out and that competitive parity had returned.
Second, I would have to question how far LSU, and the rest of college football, would have fallen off. How could a program like Indiana climb from the 8-5 tier all the way to national championship level before LSU got back? In 2020, there was simply no scenario where I would’ve believed Indiana could be capable of playing football at that level.
In reality, what we’re seeing today is a mix of both dynamics. I genuinely believe Cignetti is one of the most impressive coaches in the sport right now, and I also think NIL and profit-sharing have distracted or reshaped priorities at several major programs. It’s creating an environment where the formula for winning changes constantly. Personally, I think that’s a good thing. Sustained dynasties are going to be much harder to maintain in the current landscape of college athletics.
