    Listening to Joffee's post match interview, he said he will ask Zeynalova if she's good to play tomorrow and implied the ball is in her court so to speak. So, at least we know its not the coaches or trainers keeping her off the court.

    Is the thought that if she's able to play going forward that we could potentially contend for the NC?

    Thank you so much for providing all these updates - it is most appreciated!  As an avid general fan, but not an educated fan across all individual sports - this type of insight is super!  Thanks and Hook 'em!

    And since the old seating chart still shows up in some places, here's the updated 2024 seating chart:

    It's interesting that they are putting the visitors in multiple locations - Section 1, 32, 103, 104, 106, 107, 119, 131, and 132. Im going to assume that if schools don't sell out those sections, those will be the "single game" tickets that are available from the school directly. 

    And I'm looking forward to the monstrous outrage & whining that will occur on SEC Rant when they figure out that big bad Texas has split up the visiting ticket allotment into multiple sections around the stadium.

  4. PSA -

    The Longhorn Band will be conducting a rehearsal in the Baton Rouge area on 12/30 from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm at Dutchtown High School in Prairieville on their way to the Sugar Bowl.

    The high school football stadium is just a couple of minutes south of I-10 on the east side of Baton Rouge.  Take the LA HWY 73 exit off of I-10, veer right on to HWY 73 and the HS is on your right maybe 1/2 mile down the road.

    Yes, that combined with paying Jimbo and staff to go away and then overpaying the next savior of aggy football...one has to wonder if there will be enough pennies left in the bank to keep up their "NIL" game plus real NIL?

    They're looking at fleecing donors for over half a Bil over the next few years with zero roi.

    And didn't they recently announce a $200M+ athletics renovation/expansion project as well?

    I want to agree with this assessment. No question that recruiting is at a high level. But Sark’s in-game decisions give us all concern. 

    That's a totally fair statement. 

    I wonder, however, with respect to these in-game decisions - how different they may look when he has a team that is fully recruited by him and has had the benefit of his sustained coaching?  I'm thinking & hoping that we'll see some very positive variation peak Alabama type of performance that occurred during his tenure there.  My mental & heart health surely hopes so:)

  7. That tracks pretty well with what I'm hearing here locally - that chunks of the principal's statement is not true and/or stretching the truth.

    It does appear that he and Ms Becnel - one of the senior administrators at the school, lectured Rachel for about an hour with bible scriptures and even printed them out to give to her.

    Surprisingly, there don't appear to be very many people defending the principal.  The general consensus is that this was a terrible and sustained lapse in judgement and given that he's been in the business for 30 years, can't be the only time he's done something like this.  People are waiting for the inevitable disclosures to come out regarding previous students and similar behavior.  It seems what is dividing most people is whether or not he deserves to lose access to his entire pension after he is fired or resigns, or if just the firing/resignation is penalty enough.  Everyone is aware that the Parish school system is going to get sued and they are going to lose - with the question being just how much money is this going to cost the taxpayers.

  8. In a bit of a surprise to me - the principal has walked everything back, apologized to the student and her family and re-instated her scholarship.  I live here, so to see this kind of a walk-back is uncommon, typically guys like this principal just double down and charge ahead.  He must have received an immense amount of blowback from  the school board, or more probably the school board attorneys as he was most likely going to get himself and the board sued into oblivion.  May still happen as the student is not completely pleased with his apology..

    Same for me!  I feel confident about this game but I'm feeling antsy about not feeling antsy about Saturday:)  I think I need a margarita.

    This team will be salty. I'm already looking forward to the season in January.

    I imagine the singles lineup will be:

    1. Spizzirri 
    2. Bailly
    3. Woldeab
    4. Braswell M.
    5. Braswell J. 
    6. Harper

    Braswell bros could team up in doubles too. We're going to be a tough team to beat. 

     

    Show me a loss?
