LSU Men's Basketball Official Thread (The Pear is back!)

We fired the fat ass loser AD who fired him

I like Wade as a coach, and think it was time to remove Woodward as AD.

but seriously, the school got pu on probation, scholarship reductions, and Wade was given a show cause.

that will get you fired EVERYWHERE.


What was illegal then is legal now

using your wife's personal checking account to pay a player's girlfriend hush money is still very much against the rules.

but if we're going to just completely decimate college athletics, I say might as well go all in with it.


It's impressive just how little any of those faces look like who they are supposed to depict.

Indiana Hoosiers (2025 National Champions)

Login to view embedded media
I like this, but there's only so many coaches that can do this without the player pouting and wanting to quit on the team. Having a recent NC will make that player STFU and change his shoes. Cig is not with that foolishness
I get if the team has a policy with practice gear, but why share it with the media? Seems like something that should be shared within the team instead of making it a public embarrassment of the player.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Watching the game from a Sox fan’s perspective the Reds Offense is mostly a complete joke. Still strike out with RISP with less than 2 outs and an alarmingly embarrassing rate. At no point did the game ever get anxious for me. Even with the bases loaded and 1 out I felt the next 2 hitters would be easy K’s and they were.
Glad Elly got ripped this off season. He needs the extra muscle to carry his massive ego and unrealistic expectations. Honestly he’s the most hilariously overrated Reds player I’ve seen since Kal Daniels.
Ouch. Kalvoski Daniels reference

Latest Celebrity 'Obit' posts

I got to know Dash Crofts and Jimmy Seals when they were at the height of their careers. They were both such genuine, down-to-earth people and willing to help aspiring musicians take their best shot. When I first started playing, I was at a conference in St Louis. Several people started playing an impromptu jam in an open foyer above the interest, it was after all the early 70s. Dash and Jimmy were there (and so were about 30 other, including some of the original Godspell band. It's a long time ago, but some of those guys had done session work with some of the top bands of the late 60s/early 70s. One of the bands that came out of that group of friends was Toto, after England Dan and John Ford Coley collapsed. I don't remember and didn't know everyone. Even if I did, as Crosby said at Woodstock, I was scared sh*tless.

So, eventually, Jimmy asks what I'd like to play. I'd only been playing for a few months and I froze with stage fright. I only found my tongue when Dash caught my eyes and said not to worry because no one would hear me with so many playing anyway. So, I chose their hit, Summer Breeze. As I started, Jimmy said, "Those aren't the right chords,...oh, doesn't matter. Let's all watch and we'll play it your way." And they all played along. I gigged for 5 or 6 years and even got invited to Hollywood as a potential songwriter. I could see people on street corners who almost certainly played guitar better with their toes than I with my hands. When I gave up that dream, I left with the precious gift of not taking myself too seriously. I think I probably became finished business school and became a professor years later because their kindness in that moment cured me of stage fright.

2026 Spring Practices, Spring Game, and other Tidbits

FWIW, (just got an email) for the Spring game parking in the West Stadium lot that use to be free is now $30. Spaces are on sale through Ticketmaster. Parking for the Spring Game is still free for other surrounding lots.

LAST CHANCE! Limited Club & AA Deck Seats Remain for Spring Game
A limited number of reserved seating options remain for the 2026 Buckeye Sports Group Spring Game, presented by Union Home Mortgage. Any club seat purchase will come with a photo from Ohio State's victory last November at Michigan signed by Julian Sayin, Bo Jackson, Brandon Inniss, Eddrick Houston or Ryan Day! Other player signatures on the photo could include Jeremiah Smith, Kenyatta Jackson, Qua Russaw, James Smith, Earl Little, Terry Moore, John Walker and Devin McCuin. Please Note: Student-athlete signed "Masterpiece" photos will be distributed at random. Additionally, fans who purchase a ticket to the club level will be able to enjoy an elevated game day experience, highlighted by a pop-up shop with student-athlete signed memorabilia.
That’s why the University can stuff it.

They will never get another cent from me.

People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

Yeah - getting pretty political.
But if we're deporting the illegals, it should be illegal to hire someone you know is hiring illegals...
Kind of sad that such mundane topic have become political but I get it. My wife and I are on the opposite ends of the spectrum and we've agreed to not talk politics and most of the time it works but sometimes seemingly innocent topics get interpreted as political. Example.

We were looking at my year book from my 8th grade year in Medford, Oregon. She noticed that the basketball team looked like they should be in college. 4 guys over 6'5" and all sporting a bit of facial hair. I began to explain that back in those days most of the kids lived on at least 1-5 acres, had chickens, a garden, had a cow or goats for milk, bought sides of beef from local ranchers, butchered chickens, there were fruit trtees and berry bushes growing wild everywhere. Most kids got up before school and did chores and then had something like bacon and eggs, biscuits and gravu or corned beef hash with white gravy for breakfast. My wife is like the bride from Kill Bill when she encounters a former enemy (you can imagine the look on her face and the music. At some point in her mind it became political and the conversation was terminated. That's another pet peeve, even simple, everyday topics can turn political at the drop of a hat.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Was able to give current okie state freshman phenom, Jax Forrest, a run for his money in his last HS match in December - so assuming his stock went up after Jax dominated NCAAs last weekend.

So, yes, good thing.

MLB/MiLB Buckeyes (Official Thread)

Four former Ohio State Buckeyes who should see time in the 2026 MLB season

Three former Buckeyes have made Opening Day rosters, while another starts the season on the IL.

Dominic Canzone - Seattle Mariners​

The most exciting player to come from Ohio State currently in the majors is Dominic Canzone of the Seattle Mariners. After playing a big part in helping Seattle make the playoffs for second time in the last four seasons, Canzone will likely play a bigger role for the Mariners this season.
The former Buckeye enters this season coming off an appearance for Italy in the World Baseball Classic, where he hit a home run against Brazil.

Dillon Dingler - Detroit Tigers​

Dillon Dingler started to make a name for himself in 2025. Following a 2024 campaign where he appeared in 27 games, Dingler became a starter behind the plate for Detroit. The Ohio State alum handled a pitching staff headlined by Tarik Skubal, who has now won the AL Cy Young Award in back-to-back seasons.

Ryan Feltner - Colorado Rockies​

While the Mariners and Tigers will likely be interesting watches after making the playoffs last season, the same can’t be said for the Colorado Rockies, who have lost at least 100 games in each of the last three seasons, and haven’t made the playoffs since 2018.

Zach Dezenzo - Houston Astros​

Technically Zach Dezenzo isn’t on a major league roster after he was placed on the IL on Wednesday. Had Dezenzo not suffered an elbow injury in the World Baseball Classic, he likely would have made the Opening Day roster of the Houston Astros.
Dezenzo suffered a right elbow sprain while playing for Team Italy in the WBC. In 19 at-bats in the WBC, Dezenzo hit .263.

Im sorry but this write up is lazy. How do you not mention Dingler won a freaking Gold Glove last year?

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

Just looked at the men's bracket today. What a fucking screw job. They put all four B1G schools on the same side of the bracket. NCHC schools are spread out among all four regionals. It's time for either Sparty, Wiscy or the pedsters to step up and finally get the B1G a title. tcun can fuck off though.
