Re: LSU Baseball Series in Jeopardy
I pretty much thought it was impossible to hate LSUcks any more than I already do. Well they manufactured yet another way to ramp up my hate. Yea, I know. Hate is not a good emotion. But in this case it keeps the old blood flowing. Go to hell LSUcks. And stay there.

What’s old is new again. We are back to ESPN’s early days when they were begging for content. Heck, I’d watch Australian Rules Football again.

I have to be honest; I would prefer almost all of those competitions/events over any of the 438 talking head shows (and not even the good, David Byrne kind) they choose to broadcast instead.Poseidon wrote:Isn't it because it's 8/8. now your have to wait a year.gerryb323 wrote:So I wish I saw this 2 days ago, but ESPN went full "Ocho" for a day (yesterday). https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/bold-s ... 202899209/TUPF wrote:I crossed that Rubicon just recently and I’m 62.
