Patience for our new football coach
The old days of needing years to rebuild a roster through multiple recruiting cycles are long gone. With NIL and the portal, it can be done overnight.
Are you familiar with the national champion last year?

re: Flau'jae Johnson is a Golden State Valkyries now traded to Seattle

quote:don't confuse me with some of the other posters. I don't deny that some people enjoy WBB. I've got no problem with that at all.
It just pains some of y'all that there are people who really do enjoy women's basketball, despite your psychological discomfort with it. Some of you need some professional counseling
I merely said that I think there's zero chance that 18,000 people actually attend every home game for the Valkyries.

quote:Average attendance is typically calculated using the total tickets sold or distributed, not the actual number of people who passed through the turnstiles. This figure includes season tickets, group tickets, and complimentary tickets, regardless of whether the holder attended.
The Valkyries officially set the WNBA record for most total fans at home games, with 397,408, outpacing Indiana’s 349,313, also from this season. The Valkyries also averaged a league record 18,064, with the team selling out each of its 22 home games this season.
If the Valkyries truly averaged 18,000 people in the arena, then kudos to them.
But I'd bet every dollar I have that this number is inflated. Just like any metric, it depends on the definition and how it's calculated.
re: New video of our favorite 52 year old Tiger fan

People white knighting for him was a low point on the rant. But I guess he just represents the majority on here so we shouldn’t be surprised.
The question I would ask of posters is: if the situation was reversed, and this was an Ole Miss fan sitting with a bunch of LSU fans, and the Ole Miss fan did what the LSU fan did, what would the posters say then?
Of course, we all know the answer, because so many on this board are blinded by P&G glasses.

t's the white knighting, saying he shouldn't be throwing punches at people, that I don't understand.
There's not a poster here that wouldn't be throwing bombs after getting a drink thrown at them
Have more self control than the idiot who threw the drink, and de-escalate the situation.
re: Somebody call an Ambulance for Sam Burns. He is choking

He’s already won five times on the PGA Tour at 29 years old.
He closed on Sunday those five times.
Or maybe you’re talking about occasionally not being able to catch the greatest golfers playing the game in the final round?
I'm talking about majors, with respect to closing on Sunday. Burns is among the greatest golfers in the game and has been ranked in the top 15/20/30 for the past 5 years, and has been on the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup teams.

He's absolutely correct - revenue isn't profit.
And this isn't meant to be negative toward Shep. He was a great guy when he was here and we all knew he was preparing for life after the NFL and he seems to be doing very well.
But revenue isn't profit.

I remember listening to that game on the radio in my dad's car as a 6 year old.
And I also remember the nationally televised game the next year when LSU won 28-8.
Incredible memories for a young Tiger fan!

When people say something is cursed, they don't literally believe that. They just notice the results.
Correlation doesn't imply causation.

No one was forcing anyone to play college football before but if you did you played for free at least by rule

re: PK Scott Starzyk kicks a 60+ FG
Posted by atltiger6487 on 4/2/26 at 2:10 pm to LSU1SLU
quote:I fully understand that athletes constantly improve and that records fall. But that usually happens in small increments.
Same reason we can hit 3s consistenly from half court or more routinely see people run 4.3. Athleticism, practice, and the belief that you can do so. It just took someone running a 4 minute mile and then boom. Ton of people did it.
But we're in a world now where seeing guys routinely kick a ball 75 yards (or more) on kickoffs, when a short time ago, it was a stretch to kick 60.
FGs from 55 yards are expected, and those FGs don't just eek over the crossbar - they easily clear and would be good from much farther.
That's a 25% improvement in a short time, which can't be rationally explained by weight training and practice.
There has to be another contributing factor. A change in the ball is likely.
Much like baseball - HRs exploded a few years back with different bats and balls.
re: PK Scott Starzyk kicks a 60+ FG
Posted by atltiger6487 on 4/2/26 at 1:37 pm to LSU1SLU
quote:60 yarders aren't a big thing anymore. Hell, on kickoffs, kickers routinely kick the ball out of the end zone, which is 75 yards.
This happens prolly 15 times during pre game warmups..
Serious question - why is this happening? Maybe kickers have stronger legs due to training and conditioning, but 20 years ago a kicker was lucky to kick off 60 yards to the goal line, and a FG of 50 yards was fantastic.
Have the balls changed? Are they inflated more? Has their shape changed somewhat to give them more hang time?
Seriously, there's got to be a reason for the drastic change in kicking distances.
Any thoughts?
