If Saban wanted to he’d be the best still, by far.

I wonder if this would be as effective in basketball considering it’s a much less physical sport.

Kiffin quit on his team like a little bitch because he didn’t think he could beat Georgia. Pete stepped up and beat Georgia after being a head coach for 14 days. Explain that little bitch.

He left before that matchup was set and begged to coach the remainder of the season.

I get you guys hate him and are mad, seriously I do. But quit lying about the reasons and timing of his departure. He took a better job, period.

Offense will really need to gel in a new system quickly. The growing pains of that will be our biggest nemesis next year.

Of course, but I'm not Lane Kiffin. I'm not sure he thinks it's necessary in his offense, which is very kind to offensive linemen. Might prefer to spend it elsewhere.

re: LSU baseball is getting screwed in revenue share

Posted by CatfishJohn on 1/16/26 at 11:08 am to Sheppards Pie

quote:
The point is that schools like Ole Miss are allocating more for baseball regardless of the revenue

Are they? Their baseball probably has similar revenue to us and their football is probably far less. So baseball would be a bigger piece of the pie.

I'm just guessing though, not going to dive into Ole Miss athletics revenue on a Friday.

ETA:

2024 athletics revenue:

LSU - 200m
Ole Miss -150m

So 7.5% of a smaller pie as well.

ETA@:

Nvm on second part, forgot it's the same amount for each school. Still, their football made less for sure so baseball would be more of their revenue pie than LSU baseball.

Seaton is arguably the best player to enter the portal this year in my mind. Adding a future NFL LT would be a dream scenario for a Kiffin offense.

But he will be $$$$$$

I do want another LB, CB, and a few more OLs. If we get that, we're golden. Seaton is just lagniappe.

Forget the portal for a second, LSU's HS class was really, really strong. We just didn't have as many kids, but the average player rating is 1st or 2nd in the country depending on the service you look at.

The quality was very good.

Someone with more time on their hands than me needs to dig up old posts from Ole Miss fans after their game in Knoxville when Vol fans threw stuff at Lane. I'm sure they were all chastising Vol fans as trash and unsportsmanlike, etc. They are going to do the same shite, it will be bedlam.

And then we unload those posts right after they also behave like sub-humans in the Fall when we visit them.

Abuse against children should get the death penalty IMO.

Obviously not in a he-said-she-said situation, but verifiable/provable heinous abuse of children should warrant an immediate bullet to the dome.

I know this will change, based off the amount of Ole Miss players hitting the portal recently, but do they not realize we currently only have 1 Ole Miss player signed? We have more players from Florida and Tennessee. They have as many LSU players signed as we do Ole Miss players. Every team who goes through a coaching change always has players hit the portal, of course there’s are later because they were playing football still last week.

Exactly.

Their fans are not serious people.

re: LSU Needs CBs

Posted by CatfishJohn on 1/15/26 at 9:42 am to Cd104

I bet he runs a 4.5 like Flott, is slim build, and is a sticky corner that isn't strong enough to bully receivers, but uses longer arms to disrupt passes. I think they're similar, but I agree Woodland likely has better ball skills and maybe some better hips.

Woodland is also shorter, but I think he has long arms that he uses well.

re: Antonio Blakeney is among 17 players charged in a point-shaving scheme, NCAA and China

Posted by CatfishJohn on 1/15/26 at 9:35 am to CatfishJohn

Question for legal experts here:

If he was in China playing in the Chinese Basketball Association when this happened, can they get him for much in the US?

I guess it depends what country the bets were placed in i.e. where the "fixing" actually happened in regards to the sportsbooks?

Story still developing

quote:
Former college All-American Antonio Blakeney is among 17 basketball players charged in a point-shaving scheme to fix games in the NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association and rig bets, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday in Philadelphia.

Federal officials are announcing the charges on Thursday.

No other details I can find, just saw it pop up on my news feed. I'll post updated articles when they come out if I can.

ETA:

More info from ESPN, looks like it was post-college for Blakeney so LSU career won't be in the scope of charges:

quote:
Former NBA player Antonio Blakeney was named but not charged in the indictment. The indictment describes Blakeney as being "charged elsewhere."

The scheme, according to the 70-page indictment, began around September 2022 and initially was focused on fixing games in the Chinese Basketball Association. The group later targeted college basketball games, offering bribes to college players ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 to compromise games for betting purposes, according to the indictment.
