Costello at 1st, Larson in Left


You haven't been keeping up if you think these would have worked out this way here

Costello is hitting .133 in big ten play

Larson got benched in the OF by Texas because he can't field and is utility DH infielder now that has missed a bunch of starts

Monarch is great but like $100/yr



This

Its well worth the money and singing up you get a big discount (25-50% depending on time of year)

Something tells me this is a figuring out his market value and coming back to us thing. He clearly wanted to stay
quote:

That's what pisses me off about Costello, because him leaving is likely the reason we went out and signed Yorke.

I must admit at the time I was super excited to have Yorke, but obviously he hasn't panned out the way we expected him to.


Costello has had a terrible conference season. He hit a bunch of home runs early on and is hitting .133 in B10 play. Dude absolutely fell off a cliff
quote:

We would feel the loss of Milam more if Ryan were still here.

Ryan is fielding .930 at shortstop for NC State. He has 6 more errors in about 40 fewer chances.

Could you imagine him as the shortstop on this team?



There are some advanced stats out there for this i know, but i do wonder if the better offense over Milam is a net positive over the worse fielding.

Reality is Ryan would probably just be starting 2B here this year anyways
quote:

Larson would've certainly gotten opportunity on this team, but I still don't think he would solidify himself as an everyday starter in the OF.



Larson is exactly what Jay told him he is - not an OF. He has found that out going to Texas and they benched him there from that too.

Texas tried him out there early on in the season then kept replacing him as games went on with someone who could field in the OF. For the last several weeks he's been playing 1B or DHing. He is not an every day starter, only has 35 SEC plate appearances compared to about double that for starters on Texas' team.

He can hit, but has literally 0 XBH in SEC play thus far. I dont really consider him much if any of a loss.

The guys that seem to hurt are Ryan, Kucherak and Roellig. Costello fell off a cliff in Big 10 play after a hot start which is a bit concerning becaus eBig Ten play isnt exactly difficult :lol:

Neal obviously has eye popping numbers now, but sucked last year and is an absolute gigantic douche-nugget that cant catch either (seems he's playing a lot of RF now too, not catching).
quote:

maybe. but trying to get the best most high paying job isn't really in indication of bad character



Certainly not in every case, but 100% of the guys just looking for the highest paid offer and care about nothing else obviously has a character flaw you might not want on your team.

This isnt a case where someone is job hunting and narrowing it down to 2 jobs where 1 pays more than the other and thats the deciding factor ultimatly all most else pretty equal.

These are cases of some guys actively going out there and shopping offers from 1 team to the next till they get the highest they can and settle with that. Or extort the school they really want with said highest offer.
Lane Kiffin's honeymoon was over too

Then al those idiots who did this type of stuff looked real smart :lol:

Ahh you’re trolling. Carry on I guess.



Funny you say trolling, because thats what it feels like all the right leaning social justice warriors are trying to do in this thread complaining about artwork in an airport.

Thanks for the heads up guys, I'll make sure to turn my outrage way up next time I run through the international terminal and find a piece of artwork from africa in there. :lol:

Culture war, my aged friend. The culture war. Something you don't have to deal with, because you aren't young, nor have young kids to worry about growing up in a cesspool that is anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-straight, anti-male, anti-liberty. You'll long have shuffled off this mortal coil, while we are still fighting the marxists that you so gleefully ignore.



There's nothing "Culture war" about this. Just a handful of easily triggered dudes on a message board complaining about nothing to feel good about themselves today. People use airports to fly and travel, not to be brainwashed, "educated" and triggered (well at least about artwork, maybe about long delays or losing bags, those are the things to get triggered about in an airport).

Again, you are the same people as on the left who get triggered by everything, complain about it all and do pretty much nothing about it. The next time you have a flight that has to connect through ATL, you'll do it because its probably the cheaper/faster route, probably put another post complaining about dumb sh*t nobody really cares about in an airport and there we are.

Best case you actually do something about it, refuse to fly through ATL, it still always remains busiest airport in the world and we get less stupid threads like these. Win/win, please do that; dont be cheap and pay the extra to avoid all this "Woke" stuff only you guys care about in an...airport :lol:

Then why do they put them there?



To decorate? I mean do you expect blank walls everywhere you go?

Again, keep that head in the sand for everything. Why call out bullshite when you can walk right past it for someone else to step in eventually, right?



Hint - 99.999% dont give a crap about artwork or "messages" in airports, thats why its funny. People are there to travel, not get faux outraged by things.

quote:

Yes, which is my right. I'm sure as shite glad no one had your mindset regarding tranny's, covid, and the woke brigade.



There's a pretty large difference in a dude pretending to be a woman walking into women's bathroom vs. a piece of random artwork in an airport. There's things to get rightly upset about, there's also thing you just look as bad as people on the left who complain abut everything and do nothing about it other than, well, complain...because its silly to begin with in instances like this.

Pretty simple concept

I suggest if these are the things pissing in your cheerios day to day you are likely having to look for things to be outraged about for no real reason.
quote:

Ah yes. The "sticking your head in the sand" approach. Let's do this for everything and see where we are in 20 years.


Ah yes the guy who goes to an airport to you know, just get on a plane and go somewhere and not care about "messages" and "OMG IS THAT artwork from AFRICA, WHY!?"

I'm definitely way outside the ordinary.

As opposed to some of you, who apparently will find anything on earth to complain about you dont agree with, probably stop at the artwork to pound some sand because it wasn't made in the USA, get on here to type up an angry post about it and then get laughed at by folks like me.

Thanks for the entertainment, at least. I'll be getting on my flight now without the faux outrage side coming out.
quote:

Just look around at all the signs and pictures the next time you are there and see if you can recognize patterns



I dont give a sh*t because I'm there to fly somewhere.

Not ever going to look for stuff to get upset about because I'm 70 or find random things that dont matter to get upset about

It's an airport. You use it to fly to places, as long as the hideous woke/whatever pieces of artwork dont randomly jump up and get in my way when I'm walking somewhere I dont care
quote:

I guess being educated on the facts is now a bad thing.

The Atlanta Airport is a piece of shite that is an attack on our traditional conservative American values.


Good lord some of you are some major pansy cucks

Get it together, it's an airport to get somewhere. If you're trying to get cultural experiences or "messages" in airports, I suggest you might be the problem.

It's a GOAT airport if you're here because can literally fly just about anywhere non-stop and that's an extremely nice thing to have. Not once have I cared about the decor or "messages" around the airport in my hundred+ times being there. It's a fkin airport :lol:
Been flying out of ATL my entire life just about and never noticed anything, I'm not there to take in anything, just get on a plane and go somewhere.

Who are you folks reading and looking at all this stuff :lol:

The ATL airport is great for 1 simple reason - I've never had to connect anywhere I've flown except when I chose to do it 1 time to save a little money many years ago (but still didnt have to) :lol:
quote:

No disrespect to Houston but I don't believe he does anything at LSU except transfer out.

Why? Because LSU is going portal shopping for a QB every year or two.

Peyton would be better off going to a program where he will 100% be the starter. If he does that, then he can be the "big time" QB transfer that programs want. Otherwise, he sits on the bench waiting for his time and his time never comes because he doesn't have "experience" like the portal QBs.


No doubt its hard to keep anyone on your roster multiple years without playing. Best case for Peyton here is Clark/Longstreet are 1 and done his freshman year here and he can compete in year 2.

He has little path to seeing much action in year 1 (although if 1 of them transferred out, he suddenly becomes right in the mix), as most QBs frankly dont, the key is to get him to stick around for year 2...but if Clark/Longstreet both come back for a 2nd season starting between the 2 of them, it could mean Peyton transfers out.

The situations now are so fluid its hard to project out more than 1 year anyways.
quote:

I love that. Did they go into anymore reasoning on why wade decided to handle it like that?



Did not but best guess there is to simply not drive up the price on guys you get. Even "committing" somewhere without signing can get you a quick call and a quick flip if the price is right. Or announcing visits/meetings as simple as that as well.

As other teams build out their rosters with committed/signed guys from the portal this is less a chance to happen if you have players announce later and there's simply less competition out there competing as they fill up their rosters.

I have a feeling people are going to be suprised by how much Davis has improved



HE showed it end of last season pass blocking at least if people were paying attention

Yes overall it was a miserable season from him, but people stopped calling his name in pass blocking those last few games.
quote:

That recent Locked on LSU episode about the whole Haven/Houston situation was a rough listen too. Not sure what the motive is.



It's Glenn Guilbeau like
quote:

I think that after the Underwood fiasco that LSU had to take the first one who jumped in. Can't go 3 consecutive cycles without signing a QB. They couldn't wait on Haven.



I think both staffs (Kelly's and Kiffin's) preferred Pop over Haven, simple as that.

Once Kiffin got hired its not like there was any push to try and get Haven on board or anything, very happy with Houston. If Kiffin thought Haven was truly better than Houston and it could risk Houston's commitment to get Haven on board he would do it.

Just because ranking sites say differently doesnt mean thats what coaching staffs follow
