Welp, I can't say I've ever heard of sleeping pods in a "locker room."

    The overwhelming reaction to the facilities upgrade by Bama fans has been negative. Which is astounding to me, because when I saw Oregon's facilities years ago or any team's current amazing setup the actual team affiliation doesn't cloud my objective take on it. That seems to not be the case with Bama fan regarding LSU. It's a compliment. Given how long it's been since we actually won a game they still seem most threatened/preoccupied in the SEC by LSU with UGA and Kirby's tactics coming close. Auburn is a given. Of course you'll have the older folks who won't let go of Tennessee but that's clearly been steadily dying out as those fans age out.

    BTW, I also was not really sure that sleeping was a big deal for players until I read the overwhelming response on Twitter of players and former players who routinely wanted to nap/sleep in the locker room or in the football building after eating, before games, etc.. clearly LSU was listening and paying attention and breaking ground. Credit where credit is due, you would think..

    That's a pretty good Twitter thread with a plethora of former D1 players as well as some ESPN analysts (Dan Orlovsky, Golic Jr.) who all slept in the locker room. The prevailing theory is there may be 20-30 minutes between a meeting or a class where you have no time to get back to your apartment or dorm and could use a chance to rest and relax and this suits that ideal.

    I listened to Jacob Hester today. He and Richard Dickson loved it and wished they had them when they were players. Said it gives the players a convenient place to go after class without having to go back to their apartments and then back to the facility. Also gives them more time to watch film in a relaxing atmosphere.

    Hester said as soon as he heard about it he knew Jack Mariucci had something to do with it.

    Mariucci came on Moscona and said they want something like the seats in 1st class but the company that makes them charged over $60k because they have to comply with FAA regulations. They got a furniture company in Indiana to make them for from $14-$16k apiece, he wasn't sure.

    Let's say the NCAA all of a sudden said you can start paying players. For the schools, where you do you draw the line? Is it only for the revenue producing sports or is it for all NCAA recognized sports? Do you pay all players on the squad or only pay players to a certain level on the depth chart? How much do you pay the players? is it an equal amount for all? Let's say the best of all contingencies are enacted. How much are ticket prices going to rise? You can bet the ticket holders are going to pay for the added expenses.

    Liberals like Eric don’t want to deal with details. They just want to show how “woke” they are. Fuck Eric. He may have gone to LSU but he’s twisted and no longer a tiger IMO.

    I think Eric's still a Tiger. I think the thrust of his statement was that instead of spending that large amount on a lavish locker locker room spend the money on more scholarships and paying the players.
