Big contract buyouts on the horizon for Orgeron and Manieri. Won't be cheap.

Why would they buyout Mainieri? They were just in the CWS in 2017 and are regular contenders.maddog wrote:Big contract buyouts on the horizon for Orgeron and Manieri. Won't be cheap.

Nice of them to make the academic side nominally more than athletics. It's that extra touch that really separates them.Baywave1 wrote:No. That is not a typo. As a Louisiana native, I feel like I'm Picard being addressed by the Borg Queen: "You will be assimilated."

Yeah, I read that and thought "as long as the academic number is larger than the athletic one, the only people who will even notice the sports expenditure are haters like us."ml wave wrote:Nice of them to make the academic side nominally more than athletics.

If Will Wade costs the AD his job, the new AD will be cleaning house at the behest of the mob that is the LSU fan base. Orgeron isn't beating Alabama any time soon and those stupids read that number one preseason in baseball stuff and ate it with a spoon.ml wave wrote:That was like 2 years ago...lately they're losing to McNeesetulaneoutlaw wrote:Why would they buyout Mainieri?
