No joy in Mudbugville today

Still equals just one game.
Monday night will be a totally different day

The SEC leader in NIL deals.

Really? LSU leads the SEC in NIL deals? What source is that from? It might be possible in baseball, but overall I doubt LSU will keep up. Chicken man might spend some money, he can’t keep up with the other schools.

Yes, it’s just baseball that I saw. No school is over $2million for baseball except lsu.

That was a bizarre and disappointing ending to an otherwise great CWS.

I played Dizzy Dean ball, which is a select 17-19 yr old league. In a double-elimination tourney we lost game 2 19-0 (called after 5 innings) the next day we faced that team again in an elimination game and we won 19-7. Baseball is a strange game where the fortunes depend so much on one position...the pitcher(s).

You forgot about Gordon and a lot of local businesses. In Baton Rouge, being affiliated with LSU athletics sells. Between Graves and McKernan, they are spending a fortune. NIL billboards all over town down here. Besides, LSU has figured out some way to have three of the highest NIL deal women athletes and they are signing their own deals with specific businesses, not the school NIL collectives. Until those other university alums decide to open their checkbooks in the same way, LSU is blazing a trail here. They are not just going after the best athletes. They are going after the ones that self-promote well and they are creating a revenue generating system that essentially allows them to pay a lot of their players. It doesn't matter whether they can keep up. They have created the current illusion that they are at the forefront and that builds upon itself. What they are doing works.

The bouncer at the Back Private Room at Rocco's told me Monday night it was reserved by "some attorney."
