Tigah Tears (LSU version)

[ssvir]

Hes a self made Billionaire (off a legit company) who is a Michigan Alum...

He's worth $150M.

 

[Calinative]

lol no, not even close

Depends what Barstool is worth, but it was worth over $500M a bunch of years ago, and then he bought it back for a literal Dollar

 

[Cane30]

Forget Underwood, it is time to meet your promises. They are going to lose more than Underwood.

 

[Dwinstitles]

From their 247 mod:

Prior to today, word was they would target the transfer portal for a QB if Underwood flipped. We will be following up with sources if that plan of attack changed, but i have a hunch that will be the most successful route this late in the game.

The last figure i heard on the LSU side was 7 million and the hope was that would be enough. We know money was a driving factor in this, but the pitch from Michigan labeling Underwood as the guy to turn things around in Ann Arbor also hit home, per a source.

I don't think you can look past LSU's struggles of late and say they were not a factor because that would be naive IMO.

More to come but just some quick thoughts.

There we go with the wins and losses excuse by a staff writer to hide the fact that BK is cheeks at recruiting. And they will eat it up.

Kid isn’t worth the millions they are paying him

No, it’s not worth $500mm. Portnoy’s interest is not remotely as valuable as you think. Penn didn’t just cut bait for $1. It gets 50% gross on any subsequent sale or disposition.

But he's not selling...

The buyout on Kelly is like 60-70 million. He is coming back.

Those cajuns are liable to plant a body in his trunk.

 

[FromDeeeeep]

$150M or $1B. Whatever. He is not putting down his money, he is “face” of the deal but the real money is coming from 1 or more Michigan boosters who don’t want or can’t have their names associated with the deal,

At most Portnoy kicked in a couple hundred grand and a barstool merchandise/podcast deal.

 

[Brooklyndee]

Told you guys a lot of the big boosters felt like he was forced on them but they went with him and then he pulled that accent stunt which ****ed off alot of the people around here from jump street.
Kelly has a bad habit of talking down to people and thinks he's smarter than everyone in the room and rubs people the wrong way then goes out and loses games every year he should win.
And don’t think LSU doesn’t have money to get rid of him cause they got plenty and have given him whatever he needed to sign this class but hopefully this house of cards starts to crumble

BULL****! I was specifically told on here Brian Kelly is a top 3 corch...

 

[BeastMode]

Always happy for the downfall of lsu and Brian Kelly but it would Be really cool if Dave portnoy stayed away from cfb.

Why? He is alumn with money. No different than all these other schools buying players.

He is just more public about what he does.

He was involved in Travis Hunter not going to FSU and pairing with Deion.

This what NIL is. He is leveraging barstool a legit company to broker a deal.

This is just some random fan paying into a collective to buy a player. If anything he is exactly what NIL was supposed to be

And ***** LSU and Kelly

 

[Bender]

Nothing makes me as happy as seeing Brian Kelly lose.

 

[Bender]

A degenerate gambler making MI football his vanity project perfectly encapsulates the state of college football.

 

[DTP]

Unless Michigan cleans house, their ceiling is 8-9 wins. Essentially Harbaugh level before he started cheating. You can pay your quarterback 20 million dollars but it won’t matter when he goes 8/13 98 0/0 every week and transfers somewhere after a year.

I live not far from LSU and fans have already been talking about setting him up to get out if the contract…that’s was after the A&M loss .

 

[DC3]

Brian Kelly killed a kid never forget

Terrific take and insight here. People are talking about Ryan Day being on the hot seat. I don't believe that to be true. However, say what you want about people in Baton Rouge and Louisiana, but they are respectful people and good people from my experiences. They don't like condescending A holes like Kelly. They will get rid of him if needed.
