No, it is not, because they don’t.
You clearly have the same issue reading as Blair has pronouncing. Congrats.
re: Baseball early season scheduling
Posted by LSU=Champions on 3/6/26 at 8:22 am to ProjectP2294
Project is spot on. It’s not purely the number of games. Every team is cramming games early in the year. This number of games early in season also lightens the load come SEC play when we don’t have to play multiple Tuesday & Wednesday night games when our main focus is weekend series. In that sense, it’s smart. The main issue is the timing in between games to practice which is a very easy scheduling fix in future seasons.
With that said, Jay is still probably taking a bit too much of the blame here, given the flat nature we’ve played in basically every facet of the game these past 6 games in addition to the lacking quality of these opponents. Better teams would not be having these same multiple issues, at least not to this degree.

I know the family. I assure you, Smidt is not how it’s pronounced. Indeed, it’s pronounced how it’s spelled, you fricking moron.

Is it too much to ask that the voice of the Tigers pronounce the last name of one of your most prominent pitchers correctly? His job, quite literally, is to accurately put sports into words. Sports information creates a pronunciation guide every year. I’m sure it’s sitting next to him in the booth every game.
It’s not a complicated name. We’re now on year 2 of this inept linguistics. Listening to it is like watching John Pearson play first base. Get it together.

He only qualifies as a “good guy” if you’re a journalist looking for another super candid quote for your publication or if you’re one of the players he played favorite over other clearly more deserving options.
It goes much deeper than a glance at the man in front of a microphone. I appreciate him bringing LSU another CWS, but being a “good guy” matters next to nothing when you’re the head coach of a major college program. Results are 98% of the calculation, and, from an achievement standpoint, he underperformed in his lengthy tenure. I don’t care about regular season records or SECT championships. The time that matters in from regionals onward. There were teams full of talent that he couldn’t get out of a home regional or a home super regional, not withstanding the fact that #ThatsJustBeisbol, are are difficult to get over. You combine the maddening mismanagement of bullpens, favoritism of players, and specifically the constant throwing of players under the bus, you’ll find yourself disliked by many people who actually follow the team throughout the entirety of every season.

Also, I don’t think it matters whether the case is removed to federal court;
It absolutely matters if it gets removed to federal court. The case would leave the jurisdiction of a judge, the sole trier of fact, who holds a post-grad degree from a highly interested non-party to the litigation and an undergrad degree (during which he was a football player) from a university where the current head coach of this highly-interested non-party graduated.
The case would then be re-allotted to one of 2 judges in the subsection of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi. Both have ties to this highly interested parties, but neither of them are elected officials like the current presiding judge in Lafayette County Chancery Court, and thus are far less swayed by significant outside factors like those involved in this suit.
That said, since Chambliss astutely avoided raising any allegations under Sherman Act / federal antitrust laws, and since NCAA is still unincorporated (and thus not considered a citizen of a state other than Mississippi for purposes of federal court diversity jurisdiction), removal appears unlikely.
quote:
the Complaint and attached exhibits make a pretty compelling case that the NCAA botched this one, regardless of where the case is heard.
The initial pleading in basically every lawsuit - especially speaking complaints drafted by attorneys who are purposely trying to capture the attention of the media / outside forces like Chambliss’ attorneys - are usually quite persuasive. That’s because you’re only reading one side of the story. Luckily that’s not the standard.
Even still, this isn’t a case of the NCAA “botching” anything. If anything, Chambliss botched his case back in 2022 when he didn’t follow up with doctors and document the foundation of his medial waiver, that was only first made 3 years later.
re: LaToya Cantrell is cashing out her city pension. Here's how much money she'll receive.
Posted by LSU=Champions on 1/22/26 at 10:57 am to Townedrunkard
Yes, but it’d still require a hearing to evaluate the nature of the offense and any mitigating factors to consider. Basically another layer for the judge to lessen the forfeiture penalty amount.
Assuming city successfully gets past that stage, then the city would have to initiate garnishment/seizure proceedings, which knowing Destroya she’d have herself robed in multiple layers of fraud insulating her from liquidity.

If the new administration had a backbone, they’d deny payment under a reservation of rights based upon Cantrell’s pending criminal charges as a basis for outright denial of pension.

A lot of misinformation/confusion about Chambliss eligibility timeline. Will try to clarify.
In October 2025, Ole Miss submitted waiver request to NCAA for Chambliss to obtain medical redshirt approval for 2022 season while at Ferris State. This waiver request was apparently supplemented by OM in November 2025.
In early December 2025, NCAA denied OM’s initial waiver request. OM then appealed to appropriate NCAA Committee level.
On January 9, 2026, the day after OM lost to Miami in CFP, NCAA issued press release of its Committee level denial of Chambliss’ waiver request. OM then appealed to final NCAA body with administrative authority.
Yesterday, January 21, 2026, NCAA held a hearing on final administrative appeal.
At this time, all parties are awaiting NCAA ruling at this final admin appeal level, but consensus expectation is another denial of the waiver request. This would be the last stage in the proceedings at the administrative level.
If final admin appeal is favorable to Chambliss, he’d be immediately eligible and there’d be nothing further to do. However, if ruling is as expected, the next stage of civil litigation will continue on - which is why Chambliss has already since filed Petition for Preliminary Injunction and Permanent Injunction at Mississippi state court level as of January 16, 2026.
No hearing is set in that case as of yet. Expectation is Chambliss is simply awaiting the NCAA final ruling on the appeal to ask the MS state judge for a hearing on the preliminary injunction first, after which there would be a full trial on the merits of the permanent injunction request. Both dates are undetermined but the preliminary injunction hearing would be set on an expedited basis (within 15-30 days of the request) and the permanent injunction would be several months down the road from there. Expectation is Chambliss will likely be successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction from MS state court (see Pavia and Alabama basketball player’s cases). The NCAA’s best chance of defeating Chambliss is on an appeal and to a lesser degree the full trial on the merits of the permanent injunction (or if it can figure out a non-diversity basis to remove the case to federal court). With all of that said, Chambliss is mainly focused on obtaining the preliminary injunction relief and then delaying ruling on the permanent injunction relief until a time after the 2026 season concludes, which by that time would be moot.

won’t they just remove this to federal court? are they arguing amount in dispute?
@TomMarsLaw: I’ve been asked many times why the NCAA doesn’t transfer state court lawsuits to federal court using “diversity of citizenship” as a basis for jurisdiction. It can’t. As an unincorporated association, the NCAA is considered to be a citizen of every state in which it has members. If the NCAA had been smart, they would’ve incorporated the national entity years ago and made it a member of the association. That way, they could remove all state court cases outside of Indiana to federal court. But seeing around corners doesn’t seem to be their strong suit.
