Haven’t been in a while but the Equinox Resort in Vermont had Falconry prior to Covid, a really cool Range Rover Driving Course and a Stag Leap Winery connection.
They played the US Open Golf Championship there in the 20s. Great place to stay and visit Manchester Center.

re: LSU beating South Carolina is really all mental

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 2/15/26 at 8:09 am to lsutiger2

USCe and Staley have the Saban effect on LSU WBB. Even when LSU should win they choke or give it away. That’s a mental thing(confidence) comes down to attention to detail & trust your training. This game FRee Throws and 3 Point shooting cost them the game. Basically same as 2 years ago have a chance late in 4th quarter to win and can’t execute basics. Plus the USCe Bigs are better the LSUs. Even when Reese was here they get bigger and stronger Centers/PF.

Sankey bent over backwards for both FB and Baseball. He is trying to make them the new Alabama now that Saban has moved on.

re: LSU needs an inside game

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 2/6/26 at 6:08 am to lsutiger2

LSU shared the ball, the problem was it was usually with a Texas player. The TX guard had 5-6 steals and LSU had way too many turnovers due to bad passes and poor execution of plays.
Williams disappeared in the 4th, Flujuan struggled all game, Fluwiley wouldn’t guard anybody and in the paint LSU has no strength. The 2 TX bigs were slow/unathletic but still got points when needed and nobody guarded Crump.
Was a bad game for pretty much the whole team.

Flujaue is struggling

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 2/5/26 at 9:54 pm

Williams has gone silent in and they are not protecting the ball or shooting well.
Sets up for a bad ending

WBB needs to protect the Ball Better

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 2/5/26 at 9:44 pm

The UT Guard is killing them on steals and points in transition. Clean that up and it’s an even game.

This is the year Mulkey has the depth to stay in the game. Also more athletic team then past 2 years along with a PG. it’s now or never!
What you list tickets for and what you sell them at isn’t always the same. We went 2 years ago guy wanted $350@ piece got both for $300 now we did sit right behind the USCe parents section. Was a good game til mid 4th quarter and LSU ran out of steam due to no depth and no true inside post players.

re: So Jordy Culotta is back?

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 1/31/26 at 4:57 pm to LSBoosie

Jordy must of not been at many of the LsU FB games this past year! It was just as bad as the MBB… obviously more people but the same amount of lackluster effort, crappy coaching and no Mojo in the building!

re: How are the World Cup prospects?

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 1/31/26 at 2:02 pm to Adam Banks

The tickets are by group and no seat number which is ridiculous especially when nosebleeds start at $1700 a seat

Wasn’t his FIL Mark Emmert the x President of NCAA? So he had some cover, FIL opened the doors for him and name connections.
He loved finger foods, the donor dinner circuit, glad handing, over paying for below average coaches and under performing! Jay was hired while he was here but wasn’t his “hire”….so who did he really bring over as a good coach?

Forgot actually having a ST Coach so we can flip the field punting, kick actual FGs beyond 40yards and Kickoff/punt coverage. Along with a Top 5 Offense and top 10 D and Top 5 ST do that and your in the playoffs!

re: Now that dust has settled, rank LSU position groups on team

Posted by NorthstarinLA on 1/24/26 at 7:18 am to Pollo10

The LB has good potential but alot of questions; Weeks Ankle/Health, Keys can he learn to cover and read the Offense? would love to see Ross really step up in 26
TE room Green is a Wr so can the New guys and Lafleur Block and get those underneath/soft parts of the zone catches be the security blanket on 3rd down or dump offs?
QB ton of talent need The Lisfranc injury to heal quickly to get the OL/WR to gel with a new QB/System etc
Ton of potential just have to get it to gel, be healthy and work as a well oiled unit
