Tell me why not


having a pile of facilities available within a short drive to a major airport for one.
also near large enough population centers and popular vacation areas for another.

The cities you're talking about have a combined population of around 275K

Phoenix metro has 5 million
Tampa metro area has 3 million
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/ W. Palm Beach has around 6 million
Orlando has 3 million


so you have a LOT more eyes available as potential ticket buyers just with the actual population.

That's not counting the sheer number of people who will be in those areas for vacation anyway.

That's a bunch of potential customers available to you just by them being in the area.

if you don’t think college athletes in football and basketball haven’t been paid for the last several decades, you’re fooling yourself.


I'm not a Will Wade hater at all. In fact I really don't follow the sport very closely at all, so I say this as somewhat of an "outsider" with no real dog in the hunt (I want LSU to do well in all sports, just have no emotional investment in basketball).

It's not that Will Wade did something under the table.
we all know that shite has been going on since college sports were invented.

But he got caught, received a show cause, the team was put on probation by the NCAA (with scholarship reduction).

That will get you fired pretty much anywhere.

it sucks, but it happened.
can/will he ever come back?
hell if I know.
I'm not opposed to it happening if somehow it does happen.

The Bear


maybe 4 guys in the entire history of the program have better numbers than Bear did here.
are you really shocked that a new guy doesn't?


quote:

Dickinson


the platoon so far at 2b (Dardar / Simpson / Carraway) have pretty similar numbers through 13 games as Dickinson did last year


quote:

Hernandez


Arrambide (not a transfer, but is the guy replacing Hernandez) has considerably better numbers through 13 games than Hernandez did at this point last year.

Frey


Braun has better numbers through 13 games than Frey did last year.

So if they go beat Georgia in between the hedges they get 2 stickers.
If they beat Iowa at home they get 3.



each coach "tweaks" the criteria a bit.
so there may be one for teams ranked above a certain spot as well.
that's not exactly true. just watch them play and you will see helmets with different amounts of stickers.

some are team stickers (wins, team wins the turnover battle in game, etc.)
some are unit stickers (OLine no sacks allowed in game for example)
some are individual stickers (touchdowns, passing yards, "big play" etc.)

Until we find the want and cash to bring Vitello here.


why would we ever have the "want" to downgrade?
quote:

I respect staying until the end too.


I didn't "want" to, but I "had" to.

I was there the first moment he came into our lives, so I had to be there for the last.

Wife and I were both there. He looked at me and his expression pretty much gave me permission.
He knew. And he knew I wasn't leaving him.

My other dog, someone gave this girl a puppy for her child. She was gone for 12+ hrs during the day and the pup stayed in the kennel, she let her out when she got home, put her right back in when they went to bed so she was staying 15, 16 hrs a day in the kennel. She has jack Russell in her. That's not a dog that wants to be in a kennel.


the girl i got Mikie from was young and pregnant.

she said they couldn’t keep him in their little apartment with a baby.
Her husband was offshore at the time.

told her “lady, when he gets home, you’re gonna tell him you met random assed dude from Craigslist at a Walmart and got rid of his dog? …. good luck!”

by then Mikie was already sitting Shotgun looking at me like “we going somewhere or just chilling?”

so we drove the hour and a half home listening to an LSU Baseball game on the radio.



quote:

I have found that the best thing to do is to get another dog ASAP.


we got Mikie a couple months after we had put down another old dog.

i didn’t really want another one, but just scrolling through Craiglist i saw his pic (he was about 3 months old at time) i said “that’s my dog!” and went got him that day. and he’s been my right hand ever since.

we still have another dog here, so i’m not looking to get one right now.

but one day i’ll see a picture somewhere and just know “that’s my dog!”
quote:

God Bless a world where you two got matched up


he knew he was my dog from the very beginning.

actually got him from a Craigslist ad.
met the person in Walmart Parking lot in Broussard.

he got out her car took a couple steps, looked back at her and then just came over and climbed in mine and looked at me like “where we going?”

last week made 12 years since that day.
he’s been my sidekick ever since.

he got too old to jump in the truck, so not many rides any more.
then he got too old to jump onto the couch with me.
but he still didn’t go to bed until i did every night. and his bed was on floor on my side of the bed.
when i would get home from work he always found a “gift” to bring me. either a toy, a bone, or a stick he found in the yard.






quote:

I'm sorry. It's good you were with Mikie til the end.


dude been by my side for a long time.
couldn’t let him be alone at his worst moment.

i think he knew it was time.
gave me his smile while ride to the clinic.

when we carried him and laid him in that table, he just looked done.
he was tired of fighting it.

laid there nice and calm looked up at me and sighed.
gave the vet the go ahead.

unfortunately, it was time.

the arthritis in his hip was getting really bad.
he had a couple tumors and a thyroid issue.

late Thursday night his back legs stopped working. by Friday morning he no longer even had feeling or movement in them.

held his hand until he was gone.

12 years of having the best damn ride or die buddy ever just didn’t feel like enough time.

RIP Mikie

Look up the stats for any team, college or pro, and you'll see their errors happen at SS and 3B way more than 2B


ok.
just looked up 2025 LSU.
Dickinson (2B) 4 errors
Milam (SS) 5 errors
Braswell (3B) 3 errors.


looks pretty equal to me.

2024 LSU
Milam (2B) 5 errors
White (3B) 3 errors

2026 LSU so far
Dardar (2B) 3 errors
Milam (SS) 0 errors


Milam, the same exact human being
.978 fielding percentage at 2B (5 errors)
.979 fielding percentage at 3B (5 errors)

I don't remember many guys at all making errors at 2nd over like 15 years of baseball.


dude, MLB hall of famers make errors at 2B.

no fricking way legion kids are staying anywhere close to perfect

frickin NC State. lol


ain’t they the basketball team that stol Dan Borne’s porn about Death Valley and just changed like 2-3 words to make it about them?
that list is outdated.
Joe Morgan is on it and he's been gone for a few years now.

Sean McMullen


he was my son’s favorite player back then.

went to a game at Zephyr.
LSU players were mingling outside before getting on the bus.

my son bolted past Bregman to go get McMullen’s autograph and a picture with him.

I don’t know who was happier in that moment, my son meeting his favorite player, or McMullrn finding out a kid wasn’t worried about Alex Bregman but wanted HIS autograph instead.

How many MLB teams have their own stations and will this one be affordable?


Yankees (YES network) and Red Sox (NESN) both own their own for sure.
there may be other as well.
