With the amount of revenue that the football program generates, you would think that there could be some other options... Sounds like a political "ploy" on the surface.

Saw it last night. Exceeded the hype. Lots of references that might be a little dated or subtle for many viewers. There were moments where I was the only one in the theater laughing. TJ Miller was actually not in it as much as I'd hoped. He and Ryan Reynolds play really well off each other, and I was hoping they'd make more use of that. And there is a post credits scene, so stick around after.

I was thinking the same thing. When I read "That means you can say farewell to college football next fall," I hear him trying to scare people into making something happen because the thought of no LSU football is like telling folks in New Orleans that Mardi Gras will be ended forever and you can no longer drink in the streets. Riots will occur if LSU football is cancelled.

It's just a political bluff. They are threatening the one thing most Louisianans (?) really unite over so there will be pressure on local and state lawmakers.

It's like saying a bar may get rid of all their beer if they don't sell enough this weekend. Knee jerk reactions and nothing substantial.

I initially agreed that it was a scare tactic, but it seems more like a mixture of propaganda and convenient leverage to me. Can you imagine the state saying their flagship university system has to be shut down because of the government's fiscal disaster? The governor is indeed waving the statement in front of him, "look at this thing you love - it will go away!" as is expedient for him to do, though I have a hard time really believing that they'll have to send all those college students home. That would be a real torches and pitchforks kind of moment for the state.

Another thing Wilson brings that isn't noticeable on the stat sheet is his work ethic when it comes to practice. I have seen it in the few practices I have been to as well as have heard the coaches talk about it numerous times. Wilson still practices like he's the teams #1 player, even though he was told early on that his role was probably going to diminish. Buzz has said how grateful he is for what he contributes, even though it isn't flashy or something you can see on the scoreboard.

I'm not saying Wilson is earning every bit of the minutes he is playing...but he is definitely contributing in ways that aren't accounted for in the box score.

That'd be hysterical. Go from "we can raise $15mil to fire Les!" to "sooo... we can't really afford to keep our student-athletes on scholarship...."

Not a great look, LSU.

He makes a really good point about how the players usually spend more time with the S&C coaches than the position coaches. It excites me to see such a high level of enthusiasm for CJF's vision!

Oscar Robertson-- I think top 10 is solid but the Big O probably should be in there over Duncan.

We have received so much rain already. But even the sight of wintery mix, sleet or ice will have everyone down here in a panic.
