Lets hope Gator bats come alive


Not trying to be a jerk, but, man, I hope not! We can't hit at all. :cheers:

he’s definitely a “win with talent”


Yeah, unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of talent in the front court. Man, what a beat down. Arizona is as good as the Florida team that ran us off the court earlier in the year and it's for the same reasons, they just smashed us inside. No rim defense combined with matador style guarding on drives.

Another year, another sweet 16 and I'm tired of those.

Whorns absolutely shite all over us. Hopefully we can bounce back tonight


Holy crap Riojas! 8 strikeouts, 6 groundouts, 6 flyouts and 6 hits + 2 walks. That was a performance.

Hope to see OU bats come alive to make this a good series.

There's definitely been some good duos between Bama and Georgia over the years


Like these?

Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, Alabama (2009-10)

Nick Chubb, Todd Gurley II, and Sony Michel, Georgia (2014)

The Orange already took Sienna's coach.

Some incredible melts by NC State fans


"Burn in hell" seemed to be one of the most oft used ones. Wow. That's just ugly.

LSU is broke!


Nope. And they have proven they aren't afraid to spend to get what they want.

The $8m buyout of Wades contract goes down to $5m after April 1, so I'm betting the "official" hire date gets pushed. They also owe the current coach $8m. In addition, Wade's contract at NC St was $17.25m over 6 years and I'm certain LSU topped that. Finally, they had to have committed $10m+ to nil funds to let Wade go out and get the team he needs to win.

Even with the big contracts to the women's coach and the BK buyout, LSU athletics makes money every year. You have to applaud the fan base.

They swapped to start game 2 of series


looking forward to this series as a fan.

Enjoyed watching Oklahoma play in Arlington, you guys have some great fans. :cheers:

I don't see Oats or Golden leaving


Agree.

Oats' buyout (I think) is like 18 mil and he's consistently in the Sweet 16 and further right where he's at.

Read that Florida was working to extend Golden as his buyout drops down to something like 11 mil next year, but he's already won a natty right there in Florida.

Makes no sense for these guys to be looking.
quote:

I think you underestimate the expectation with Wade at the helm.


Not trying to be rude, but what am I missing? '19 was his best run, going to the sweet 16. His last 2 years ya'll made the tourney and went 1-2?
quote:

Is William Wade any different than Michael White?


Hmmmm, thoughtful question. I guess the biggest difference is that White had basically exhausted his welcome at Florida as he hadn't taken them to the elite 8 since 2017, but that is only a difference in the school they left. The school they were going to seems pretty similar.

To his credit, White has now taken Georgia to 2 straight NCAAs, if Wade does the same thing, LSU will be ecstatic.

The joys of being a #4 seed. We get Michigan and Arizona!

Cause Arkansas fans just love Nick Pringle


Gotta admit, thought Pringle would be a better producer than this. He killed us when he was at SC
I don't hate, wish ill will on, nor loathe - but you are absolutely correct, you guys are Absolute cinema! :cheers:

Curious that Auburn dropped after going 2-2 against #2 and #3 last week.


Agree - Auburn playing very well. Losing a home series will get you a small ding in the polls. Just the way it is.

#22 Florida at #4 Arkansas


Well bigD, since half of both of our starting lineups couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle, this may be a pitching duel. :cheers:

Not sure why you would post this and invite all the crap you had to know would be coming...

I will just say congrats, and I hope you win it all. :cheers:

Yeah, Vandy having a tough year.

Any more questions about why LSU would rehire Wade?


Oh boy. Another post on LSU coaching moves. Just what I came here for.

Currently there are 9 posts on the front page of tRant about Pear coming back to LSU. 5 times OP was a LSU fan, 4 times it's a 'Bama fan.

If LSU wants Wade back, then I truly hope they get him. But for the most part... I'm basically over it.
