I don't what LSU is saying about Bazz. (probably he needs to lay off the caffeine and quit swinging at junk.) However, LSU fans are joking around about the NIL and wanting Mr. Turley. Many of them were impressed by his wicked bat. Holy s%#t. Never thought about the possibility of losing Turley to the portal/NIL. Don't think about it................ it was a joke......nuke. Turley isn't going anywhere else. He'll be wearing #1 and hitting bombs in the opener next year. |

LSU will be hosting Kentucky, and they dogpiled.

Well we did outscore our opponents in this regional 33-22. So there’s that. Yeah. Should have just scored 3 runs in game 1 and saved those other 15 runs for the LSU games. Poor planning. If I was coach that’s what I would have done. Told the wife the exact same thing. |

It must suck when these 18 to 22 year olds get done with whatever sport they are involved in and their first real job they take a pay cut. Oregon may reached their peak. Oral Roberts is a very good team. Been a baseball fan since I was 6. MLB of course. But OSU piqued my interest in college baseball. |

I expect Grieg to start at 1b next year. Best arm on the team according to Darwin. huh, I figured Guerra as a shoe in for first base. If Reed plays next year, Guerra may need to go to 1st. |

Ahhhh... when the umpire excuse wears thin, let's create some new excuses to make Beaver Nation look silly. NIL is a fact of life, out if anyone's control. Because other schools have bigger "budgets" is no excuse. OSU has never and will never match budgets with the Jones'. It never effected the NC teams and is a lame loser excuse. This team is not, never was more than a top 32 type team. Inconsistent at best, and without looking at what the final stats will be, has to be one of the worst pitching staffs in memory. They went about as far as one could have expected. They blew the chance to be a regional host. They then sunk to be a lower #2 seed matched with a extremely talented team with a great history... hosting 27 regionals, winning 23 of them. LSU was obviously the more talented team. The Pac12 as a whole was not. Time to regroup as this program had its work cut out for it before next Spring. bwhahahaaha, we have found the only college sports fan in America that thinks nil doesn't matter, just roll up your sleeves and work harder dammit. I mean the Dodgers have a bigger budget then the Oakland A's and that budget never shows up on the field, right? If we don't compete in the NIL marketplace we won't be competitive. Lol.... just to show how you start out completely off your rocker... where did I state NIL $$ doesn't matter? Yeah... didn't think so. JFC... So now to other facts you may hate, or just make up new BS. Whether you or many many others want to admit it, the NIL is another "budget" outside the universities control. Oh, and comparing MLB teams with huge organizations and feeder programs to NIL $ is not even apples to oranges. Just plain idiotic. And, surprise, just like the normal athletic budgets OSU will NEVER EVER be able to compete with the big boys. So, we better work harder... recruit diamonds in the rough, develop players better, create a culture that keeps players, etc. The NIL isn't going away. It may... may... be reined in somehow, but it's here to stay. And, OSU will be bottom ½ of the conference in NIL $ to dole out. Unless of course OSU ends up in the MWC or some other new iteration of a smaller school/ budget conference. So, yep... get used to it. And, it's funny how the same NIL disparity exists on a larger scale in football yet many think 2023 could be a Pac12 title game team and a NY6 bowl. How... just how could that possibly happen?? 🤪 |

Why does 1b need a strong arm? Not that I think you're wrong about where he might play. We've seen him take a stab at 1b this year. He pitches too. That is where the arm strength comes into play as a part time pitcher too. I know that. Just couldn’t find a correlation between arm strength and 1b. Outfielders need good arms, though. |

If a guy wants to leave and has the talent we won't be able to compete. It's really no different than it ever was, now it's just legal. It is different. Between the portal and the NIL for the LSUs of the world it is a perfect storm. If it were just the offering of money out of high school it wouldn't be good but we already have some component of that with MLB. What's different is we no longer have any assurances that we have anyone for more than a season. It will become open bidding via the portal. NCAA needs to eliminate the portal. If they do not, we need to compete. While I've not paid a lot of attention until today, it does not look to me like Barnes or anyone else at OSU is dealing with these new conditions head on. If they were it would seem like someone would be asking us all to write checks. I'm not seeing how this turns out good for OSU athletics if they don't get more aggressive. |

I'm a bit lost by this post. A) we've never had any assurance of any player staying more than a year. The portal made it easier, more options, but players could transfer before... DI, DII, DIII, juco. B) the portal has been address in it is now a one time opportunity. Grad transfers still exist so player movement can occur again. C) how is Barnes supposed to address an NCAA rule in the portal? Or a NIL ruling by courts and States that involve collectives the university has no part of/control over? It's the haves vs the have nots... the same as always... just a new version. |

So if true how the hell does a collective know who to invest in whether it be an incoming freshman, a transfer, a returning player? There is no way a coach isn't up to his neck in the collective. If not he or she is way behind. |

Couple that with 8 million dollars in LSUs case to entice players who enter the portal its a game changer. As to the role of Barnes, this is one he should do everything he can to get out in front of. Just my opinion. |

IMO the portal & NIL doesn't matter that much in regards to LSU.
We aren't in their conference.
We need to make sure we maintain a talent advantage or on par against teams in the Pac.
If we do that, we don't face an LSU until a Super Regional or a College World Series in the future.
