re: Terrible game

If you had been following LSU basketball this year, this game would seem like next level shite to you.
Wade is saying what he needs to to get the media monkey of his back and earn some sympathy. The narrative has completely switched, his PR is giving him the best advice. Do you really think he regrets paying those players when he had little to no booster support @ LSU? Those players would have just gotten paid by someone else.
Baseball fans here now saying basketball is boring? Thought I'd heard it all here.
Ball is in play 100 percent of the time in "shooty hoops." What's that percentage in college baseball???
Unfortunately, those of us born in the last 40 years that don't agree with "America's favorite past time" slogan and aren't inherently racist, enjoy basketball more. Since we're in the minority among LSU fans apparently, we have to be loud about our dissatisfaction with the handling of basketball.
What's really funny about the situation is all I'm seeing from press articles (yahoo sports) is positive coverage for Wade. "It's clear NC ST has a winner," is one column title, a complete 180 in narrative switch. Phonies

could this have blown up in Woodwards face anymore?
fair question. But, anyone who was a Will Wade supporter up to that point and understood how powerless the NCAA also was at that point, could see this is how it was going to play out. No one should be surprised by this, except I guess Woodward himself.
LSU baseball sells itself though. Woodward nuthuggers think he's the only one that could have landed Jay Johnson.
Shoot, Johnny could cruit.' Even when things were discombobulated on the court the talent was entertaining. That's more than we can say for the current state of affairs.

hey beat LSU on a last second basket after the Tigers lost a large lead in the last few minutes
QUARTERMAN AND THE MICKEY BROS WERE DUNKING ALL OVER THEM IN THE FIRST HALF. NC STATE LOOK SHELL SHOCKED. BUT SOOO MANY MISSSED FREE THROWS DOWN THE STRETCH FOR THE TIGERS, ONE OF THE ALL TIME WORST LSU BBALL GAMES.
Why you call someone idiotic on a message board, yet to refute anything they've said.. "you're an idiot." Classic. My beef ain't with you Hold That. I am just inner pissed off with the handling of Wade, while most on this board justify it with the "ww is doing a good job with football, so it's okay " I say bs. Kelly is always gonna do just enough to make y'all believe NEXT Year is the Year. And that's what Woodward has delivered.
No, my solution would have been to KEEP WADE. Wade had us as a 3 seed in year 2. That's finishing top 12. BK can't crack a 12 team playoff in year 3. Return on investment heavily favors Wade. But this ain't about Wade vs BK. It's about Woodward not backing the guy that many long time LSU bball fans like myself believed would inevitably get us back to a final four.
quote:

do you have any clue where BK ranks
among those at their current school that haven't made it to a playoff; id imagine he's up there.
quote:

he will be the next Callipari.
will likely win a natty before he retires and it should have been done @ LSU. Cannot find it in me to justify Scotty at all. He sacrifices Wade so he could give BK an astronomical contract for a perennial 9-4 football team. Good job my guy.

Brother, that Vanderbilt home game was unlike anything I have seen at LSU. 10k+ chanting "F Joe Alleva" and "we want Wade". Yea they cared lmao.
one of the greatest nights in LSU BBall history. We cut down nets as conference champs that day .cannot find a full game replay online anywhere. To Alleva's credit, he stilll showed up. Where is Scotty?
quote:

We are officially out of things to complain about.
when we can't yell, "fire the coach." .. anyone, even the play-by-play guy is subject to the Rant microscope.
What's with the scheduling? I work Saturdays, only can catch night games and rarely is the best game primetime. What freaking gives!?
That Bigsby Williams tip-in thoughhhh
A Corey Chest transfer would be the straw that broke the camels back for McMahon. He can't afford it.
Pretty crazy how awesome the home basketball schedule has been this year. And no one cares lol. Thanks woody.
It's acoustics; small, packed in gyms are LOUD. At my alma mater high school for a triple OT game was one of the loudest and roudiest experiences I've had at any sporting event.
