The listed attendance is pretty meaningless these days. Back in the old days, attendance meant "butts in the seats". Now it means tickets sold.

First, it doesn't make that much money relatively speaking. And yeah, it makes sense not to lose the respect of the college sports world that LSU is fielding a JOKE of a basketball program and too STUPID to do anything about that to try to improve the situation. The more you post the more you sound like you despise LSU.

That attempted analogy makes absolutely 0 sense. The majors are the majors in MLB because the BETTER players are there. In college in DIVISION 1, there are not any other levels of baseball. BTW, the 300+ teams in college are only Division 1. That doesn't include I assume hundreds more that play in the other divisions. One such example is the LSU-S Pilots who won the NC last season in their division and were undefeated.

I don't know if you're right or not, but if you are LSU just needs to just shut down the program.

:cheers: Agree 100% and have stated that and then the loons came out with personal attacks. LSU has 2 logical choices 1) prove to the LSU fans that it gives a damn about LSU men's basketball and fire an incompetent coach who has had 4 years to show ANY improvement 2) just shut down men's basketball as there are many division 1 schools who don't participate in sports that even other teams in their conference do. Examples I gave were Iowa State and Colorado in the Big 12, Wisconsin in the Big 10, and SMU in the past. All were in baseball BTW.

If LSU isn't going to attempt to be competitive in men's basketball, why even try to play the game. Don't know if the SEC has a rule requiring LSU to play men's basketball, but if they don't, that should be considered. The program is the laughing stock of college basketball right now.

If you report me, my life would be over. As you know, at that point, it'd be IMPOSSIBLE for me to even lurk on the rant. And re registering under a new user name and continuing to post would be something that's never even been a thought to do by anybody, ever. Wait, did I just think of that???

I wouldn't be surprised if you already haven't done that multiple times. That is pretty much the standard approach a cowardly punk like you would do. BTW, your life is pretty much irrelevant already if the best you can come up with is attacking someone's mother as a drug addict. You SHOULD be banned from this site and be forced to register under another userid. You have already SOILED your current ID with your despicable behavior. Go to :doublebird: hell you worthless piece of sewage! :ban:

lOh, and for the record, any sport that has as many colleges participating in IS a major sport but your tiny brain probably can't count above what your fingers and toes and cover. :ban:

I didn't say anything about cross country but it doesn't matter. Once again, a MAJOR sport is one that hundreds and hundreds of schools have as a program. So yes, baseball is a major sport. And IF cross country is in that many colleges, THAT would be a major sport also. I don't give a frick what the TV coverage or monies are. The measure of a major sport is the amount of participation by the colleges.

For the record, I'm reporting your posts since you have now made 3 more replies after saying you weren't going to post anymore to me. Guess you must have dementia to boot huh?

I will repeat the fact that 360 division 1 teams play basketball and 300 division 1 teams play baseball. Not a lot of difference. Baseball is a major sport in college. For a contrast due to limited amount of teams fielded, college hockey is not...college lacrosse is not...college swimming is not, etc.

Major sports are MAJOR PARTICIPATION. Football is one...basketball is one...baseball is another.

College baseball IS a major sport. 360 division 1 colleges play basketball...300 play baseball. Not a lot of difference so I guess colleges disagree with you.

You mentioned ticket revenue. What you didn't mention were butts in the seats. As I stated in a post, recently the box score of an LSU home game had 7800 listed as the attendance which means those were tickets sold. I believe that was the Georgia game. At the Arkansas game, someone said there MIGHT have been 2000...I say not even 400. I bet the Georgia game was nowhere near 7800 "shows".

College baseball IS a major sport, DUMBASS! Oh, let me guess...they just have more competitions than ANY other college sport because it is a minor sport, huh? Why don't you just return to your mother's basement and not post here until you can post something coherent! :doublebird:

The coach doesn’t need pressure.

I agree! When I said "put pressure on the coach" I meant put pressure to fire the coach. I should have said "put pressure on the AD" to make it clear. This will be an incredible shocker if a coach at LSU who has been there 4 years (just like Kelly) and has the program going in the WRONG direction is not discharged...see Brian Kelly. The only difference is football is far more important at LSU than basketball is. But the circumstances are exactly the same except Kelly's buyout was far greater than McMahon's would be. This is an obvious decision.

Yeah, Jay Johnson was not exactly an unknown commodity either since he has already been runner-up for a NC at Arizona and also won a NC there. And Mulkey was burning her bridge at Baylor and specifically has stated she was ready to move back to LA.

I thought the Kelly hire was a good one but obviously it wasn't. I said at the time that the McMahon hire was Curley Hallman 2.0. Coaches who made their reputations at mid level schools based upon 1 player. McMahon with Morant and Hallman with Favre. And I haven't even mentioned the Woodward fiasco hiring Jimbo Fisher at A&M who I knew was a disaster when he hired him
