junior pit master at jones bbq and foot massage. definitely not two children stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat. waterproof. je suis louisiane.
STRONGER MENS CONFERENCE 2024 was one for the books! What an incredible weekend - God moved in powerful ways and thousands of men were impacted! 🙌
We can’t wait for SMC25!
On one hand, we should be pretty selective of who we build statues of.
On the other hand, this is exactly what not only LSU baseball, but LSU is supposed to be. This is greater glory, love unending. And I hope this is outside Alex Box Stadium one day.
LSU really beat Tennessee, Wake Forest, and Florida twice in the space of 9 days to win a title, including 4 in a row against Tennessee, Wake, and Florida. I hope we don’t lose sight of how crazy that is.
National championships are earned, not given
If Jeff Landry wants to get a PR win off the back of LSU he needs to stop doing dumb bullshit like the posturing over the national anthem and Mike being on the field and put forth a bill that bans pre-6:00 kickoffs before October like Arizona has.
He’s been overshadowed because of Crews/Skenes and the spectacle of Tommy Tanks but I hope LSU fans enjoyed Tre Morgan because we’ve been spoiled having him.
if I had a nickel for every time an LSU athlete wearing
#9
had a great performance in the national championship and went to Cincinnati in the draft, I’d have 10 cents. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
Alex Box Stadium sendoffs:
Paul Skenes: Threw 7.2 scoreless
Dylan Crews: Series-sealing 2 RBI double
Case Beloso: Go-ahead 3-run homer
Tre Moran: Standing ovation
Gavin Dugas: Three hit by pitches
Perfect.
There really is a stark difference between LSU baseball fans and LSU football fans who watch baseball after Memorial Day and it’s especially telling on days like today.
BREAKING: The Oakland A's will start exploring relocation possibilities after Major League Baseball suggested the organization consider moving to other cities if the Howard Terminal stadium proposal is not approved by local politicians.
News at ESPN:
What are examples in any form of media where a "brilliant song/painting/play/etc" within the story is actually as good as the characters act like it is?
Note: NOT the same as just "I liked it". It needs to actually fully match its fictional reputation
Myles is the heir to a New Orleans restaurant dynasty that is famous for inventing bananas foster AND spent six years at LSU because of a fishing accident.
I understand he's from Mississippi technically, but if LSU wins 10+ games next season he be elected governor by a landslide
A solid five seconds of applause in Phil’s Oyster Bar in Baton Rouge when the Bengals won.
That was really awesome. Baton Rouge is fully behind their adoptive AFC team.
Cementing A Legacy
We are excited to announce our ring ceremony will take place on Nov. 11 in the PMAC. A specific time will be determined after the LSU-Florida football kickoff time is released.
📄
Cade Beloso is 6'0" 216 without a single stolen base on the year and Oregon was like, "oh damn we gotta keep this guy close. we got a real Whit Merrifield here, a True Trea Turner. This guy is the D1 Dee Gordon. We gotta keep this modern day Pheidippides close to the bag."
Dennis Allen, even on a good day where he blows out the team’s arch rival and stumbles into someone that somehow curries some favor with the fans, STILL finds a way to fumble the bag.
If it was your players overruling you, take the bullet for them man. Don’t be a narc.
I’m just working under the assumption that Bennett played third base in HS and hit .235 with <5 home runs. Im not going to look it up to confirm, it just feels spiritually right.
Alright, this is never easy so here it is: I was laid off by Tiger Rag today.
Thank you: for following, for reading, for supporting me. Not jazzed it came to this but I'm glad I did it.
I will not turn down: job leads, good vibes, pictures of your dogs.
I try not to be a cynical asshole about these things but the CFP putting LSU at 10 in the first playoff rankings so ESPN can have a top 10 prime time matchup is pretty blatant
@edsbs
I am buying the most perfect car ever created and am going to drive it at irresponsibly high rates of speed across the forests of America, Europe, and Japan, like it was designed to do
HER SISTER WAS A WITCH. RIGHT? AND WHAT WAS HER SISTER? A PRINCESS. THE WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST BRO. YOU’RE GONNA LOOK AT ME AND TELL ME THAT I’M WRONG?
The Fullcast is the ideal version of a stray cat: it just randomly shows up at your door one day and lets itself in. It’s slightly stupid but sometimes after a long day you want to watch it struggle with a paper bag for 45 minutes. Sometimes it leaves but it eventually comes back
Say what you want about college athletics/the NCAA and it’s flaws, at least it’s the only American sport where the owner isn’t the first person to lift the championship trophy
I’m not gonna grab a photo because it’s someone else’s kid, but the tailgate next to us has little girl no older than 9 or 10 setting up the bar. Has all the logos facing out and everything
start em young and and raise em right, geaux tigers.
LSU cannot hire Pat Casey and pretend like they're doing better or striving to do better with respect to Title IX. The two are wildly incompatible.
Full stop, end of discussion, period.
Paul Mainieri won a title in 2009 and then just about had the worst luck in the postseason for the next 12 years.
LSU fans already lament him, but the truth was he was as good as you could possibly be without winning a second title. And honestly. he really deserved one more.
LSU is a fascinating case study in college athletics fandom because three (or four pending sport) schools stomp their feet and absolutely insist that that LSU is NOT THEIR RIVAL only to throw absolutely nuclear tantrums when they lose to them.
Shaq just shows up in Baton Rouge randomly and decides he's going to DJ at a college bar and everyone shows up at the drop of a hat.
Once a year he goes on the field during a football game & I'm convinced LSU has NO idea when he's coming. He just shows up.
Shaq is one of the only rich people whose life makes sense to me. He owns a bunch of restaurants, does ridiculous things like try to be a sheriff, gives random strangers elaborate gifts, and talks shit about anyone at any time without hesitation or remorse
The Plan:
1) Win tonight by any means necessary.
2) Bring Skenes back for the rubber match.
3) Floyd-Hurd-Ackenhausen rotation in the final.
5) Take out revenge on Florida.
6) Parade Wednesday night.
RIP to Wayne Graham. A baseball legend for many accomplishments, including turning lineup cards into words of art with immaculate handwriting. Incredibly satisfying.
