Its time for some of you to make some big boy decisions and move out of that shithole state. Im the only person in my family that was able to escape and thrive in a new environment. Why do you all continue to choose to keep your families in that environment? There's so much better out there that yall will never know. Its pathetic, honestly
Comments like this are retarded bc youre just assuming that everyone has the financial ability, job flexibility, and desire to just say "alright kids grab your shite, tell your friends goodbye, we're heading to utah".
People have families, friends, and careers here. It is not the fault of good, law-abiding BR residents that it has turned into a shite hole. Nor should it be the responsibility of those residents to flea the life they have built for themselves and their kids bc our leaders dont want to do their jobs. Continue to push our elected officials to fix the shite that they helped create.
Lurked for years. Wade getting suspended in 2019 pissed me off and no one in my immediate group seemed to be as pissed off as I was. To TD I went

5-10 years ago I never thought this would be the case, but my interest in college athletics is waning more and more and pushing me to getting more interested in the pro leagues. I've always watched NFL, NBA, etc. but never really got invested in it as much as i did with college sports. But at this point, you have college players making more than some pros, unlimited free agency, no salary cap, players transferring/opting out for no real reason other than bag chasing, and now players gambling on/against their own teams with little to no consequences. Its literally the worst part of professional sports all wrapped into one with no regulations. At that point, I'm just going to go watch the pros that have actually figured out how to regulate/manage these things, have teeth to enforce their rules, have consistent playoff rules that don't change on a yearly basis because every team wants their slice of the pie, and have more parity in general
re: Mini AI data center for homes with silent NVIDIA GPUs.

Why don't these data centers go in abandoned grocery stores, old walmarts, abandoned malls, etc, instead of using good farm land?
It happens but its not as common because these centers require large amounts of cooling and energy. Add in large generators and other items needed to keep the center up and running and it gets pretty expensive to try to retrofit an existing building. Thats why most have gone the route of buying cheap farm land and starting from scratch

since Span “will take on paying the host’s electricity and internet bills directly, and charge a flat fee every month that’s much lower than what the host would otherwise pay to their electric utility and internet service provider.”
"Much lower than what the host would otherwise pay". Sure, at first.
In the same way that streaming services were "much lower than the cost of cable". Until you have to have a monthly subscription to watch every fricking show.
The cost per token for AI tools is much lower than the cost of employing an individual. Until they have the market, then they raise the cost of tokens.
Its the same shite over and over again, yet consumers are dumb enough to keep falling for it. These companies will look you in the face and convince you that their profit is your profit. Meanwhile, they rake in billions and the consumers are left wandering why they're short on their mortgage (or rent most likely) this month
So you're telling me I would get to have a mini data center installed in my home that I would have to pay for the additional electricity for and most likely additional water for cooling, in addition to any other local fees that my municipality tacks on plus a subscription to the AI service itself so that the large AI data companies can bypass construction costs and state and local regulations and taxes on their own data centers? Sounds like a great deal...
The worst part is that thousands of tech bros are probably going to sign up for this shite because "this is the future, man". We're about two steps away from full blown dystopia and we deserve every bit of it

re: Is MBB ever going to ensemble a team that is eligible?

The "finish top x in the league" is such a retarded bet because of the amount of factors that are outside of LSU's control. Injuries, in conference SOS, other teams in the league having really good years as well. For instance, in 2025, ole miss and arkansas finished 8th and 9th in the leauge. Both made the tournament and made it to the Sweet 16. 14 of 16 teams made it to the tournament that year.
A bet that I am willing to bet similar to you is that LSU will double its SEC wins in Wade's first year and we will be at MINIMUM in contention for a spot in the NCAA tournament, if not a lock for it. And thats even if a couple guys are ruled ineligible or we have injuries. I'll take a ban bet, but I know the others won't follow through on their end whenever it happens

Dude seriously you are bleeding all over the board. I didnt see all this fricking melting when we were last in the SEC 3 of the last 4 years. I dont see you whining over Oats, Self, Pitino, Calipari, Miller, Sampson, etc and the things they do to bring success to their teams. I dont see you calling out UNC, Kentucky, Duke, and Kansas for going after the same players that Will went after and beat them for.
Just admit that you are playing this "holier than thou" act when it comes to Wade but then turning a blind eye to every other school and coach. If youre so fricking butthurt about wade doing what he feels is best for us to succeed, then go follow some school that you feel is "doing it the right way"

Goodness. 10-0 now. Milwaukee putting BTA

Once again proving that for some reason you have a personal vendetta against wade for some reason. Show us on the doll where he touched you
quote:
Madar, Ugochukwu, Nunez, and Luis are the guards.
Still not convinced that Luis will be ruled eligible, so that leaves you Madar Ugo, and Nunez. Nunez is solely a depth piece. Averaged a little more than 2 assists per game last year and has had a 1:1 assist to TO ratio across his entire career. Ugo is a good player, but again really isn't an every day starter at guard. That leaves you with Madar who has been described by a few international basketball writers as solid but not really someone that you can anchor your offense around. This team is still missing a good ball handler to run the offense and set up the elite front court guys we have

So 13 teams in the SEC spent more than LSU?
Dont bring logic into this. Also the argument of "jay didnt have enough money for the portal" doesnt work when multiple guys that were here last year regressed.
Its okay to admit that Jay misevaluated some portal additions and coached poorly this year while adding in the fact that the team had a ton of injuries, some bad luck, and no real player leadership.
The "we didnt have enough money" is a lazy argument that gets thrown around for any sport that we underachievers in
re: What did President Rousse say about new arena?
Posted by Aforem7 on 5/18/26 at 10:08 pm to tigerpierre
Rousse quote from an article posted by the advocate: "The arena when I got here was a little different than what it turns out to be now. There is money in that account. Nothing has been spent yet. Where its [going to be spent depends on if we end up getting an arena or not. The EDD has been earmarked in terms of structural issues that it needs to be spent on. You can imagine if you drive our campus and see some of the potholes in our campus and concrete that is broken, that we have a lot of places to spend them." The article also says that Rousse stated that LSU is still "looking for funds for the arena"
So within about 2 years we went from LSU is getting an arena and the developer is paying for it, to LSU is developing an EDD and closing the golf course to build the arena to "we're not sure if we're going to get an arena and we may just spend the extra money on potholes". Meanwhile we continue to have one of the worst basketball arenas in the SEC with the ceiling falling apart and rats in the concourse. This is like the fifth fricking time that the ole bait and switch has been pulled on the fans (I still remember Alleva promising a complete PMAC renovation back in 2018 and promises of renovations wayyy before that). The level of incompetence is infuriating

Someone on the board mentioned a while back that some of these international deals are complicated bc of the number of layers to the deals and the amount of hands that the cash has to go through. Part of me wonders if that's where these international outlets are getting their numbers. Not necessarily how much LSU is paying but how much money has exchanged hands between all parties involved in the deal
I was having this issue. Use the "Sign in with One time code". That worked for me
quote:
No fan support, even from the getgo.
I strongly disagree. There were plenty times where the fan base gave mcmahon the opportunity. And mcmahon proceeded to squander every opportunity he had. After starting 12-1 in and beating arkansas, the fan base was ready to fully accept him. How did he respond? By losing 14 in a row. Then the next season, you have a chance to build back fan support after an abysmal season, and you start the season off by getting beat at home by nicholls and then in your biggest non-conference home game, you get clapped by 15 against Kansas state. You then go into A&M and beat them once again giving fans hope, only to come back to BR to a good crowd and get beat by a mediocre vandy team. You then have a great game against ranked Kentucky and you once again have the fans right back in the palm of your hand. How did he respond? By losing by 20 at home to Mississippi State. He then finishes the season by once again getting your arse whipped at home in the NIT to North Texas. Go to 2024. Fans are hoping for moment building into the season. You have a great non-conference and start SEC play at home against vamderbilt once again with good fan support? How did they respond? By once again getting your arse whipped at home and then proceeding to go 1-10 to start SEC play. And then we all know how this past season went.
So save me the bullshite about mcmahon "never having fan support". The fans gave mcmahon their support time and time again over the 4 years, and every chance he had he fumbled it. Ive said it multiple times that mcmahon did not do a damn thing for fan or donor engagement. Couple that with losing nearly every game that fans showed out for and this is what you get. The one thing we as fans did have that maybe coaches of the past like Jones or Johnson didnt get was the expectation to make the NCAA tournament. And that expectation was set by wade bc he showed us that it was possible here.
quote:
He didn’t do well with what he had that’s very true. He also didn’t have a 15 million dollar budget.
Mcmahon could have had the budget of the Los Angeles Dodgers and still not gotten above 0.500 in league play
