One of my favorites


Doug and Arthur found out Carrie was much nicer and agreeable if she had a drink or two when she got home, so the started having happy hour every night and getting her drunk so they could do what they wanted.

Or the one where Doug goes cheap on the eye surgery plan for Carrie and she's blind for a week.

back in the day i liked tim...


Same here, I think he did local radio first locally, then hooked up with Ch. 9 and then got on with ESPN - was happy for him, local boy done good and always pulled for him and happy to see him work his way up through the ranks.

Then they started running his syndicated radio show here in B.R. and I guess when you get to hear a guy for an extended period of time, like on a 2-Hour radio show I would listen while in my car on a sales job I had.....you get a good idea of who he is.

And for me it changed by whole outlook and opinion on him.

I guess I'll contribute to sidetracking the thread. That GT team was a killer with lethal weapon 3, and when those guys tarted raining 3 pointers in the second half it was hard to keep up.



True - but I always counter this with my belief that there was no way we should have been a 5-seed and had to play a team like that in the second round. We really lost some games it was almost unfathomable that we lost in the regular season.
Ha! Old Timmy B. is the most prolific name dropper in the business, only one who ever did it more was Pat O'Brien and I think his was a bit.....but Tim wants you to know who he knows.
the best thing about this is that the cabal that banded together to bring him down before - Cal, Dick and Forde have to eat this. Sure they will try to bring him down again, the articles will be coming, but they won't matter this time - and it will be fun to watch them flail helplessly.

I don't think that is true. They are LSU fans, but not necessarily LSU basketball fans, or fans of basketball in general. But for reasons unknown they hate that Wade has a loyal LSU fanbase. So when Wade fans flood the board with hyperbolic praise, they feel the need to meet it with and equal and opposite reaction simply out of a desire to go against the crowd.

There absolutely is a small but very outspoken segment of baseball fans that support LSU baseball only that really don't like any other sports at LSU and take shots at them.

And others who just don't like basketball and for some reason are miffed that a basketball coach is so popular and well-liked.

Judging from - well basically going back to when he was AG - I don't think that guy exists.

Mascona can be off putting and has things we often take issue with him here in his own right, but he is really good at exposing clowns like this that put out one-sided poorly researched articles like this.

I'm sure there is some of that. Hell you get that at LSU football games the socialites who go there take pics to send out on social media and leave at or before halftime.

Wade has been to at least one football game. It was pointed out here.


I sat with a former LSU football player who played with us for about 3 years under O and BK both, got hurt and did not play all that much, maybe some special teams.

He said he passed WW coming back from practice or some such and WW called him by name and high fived him. The kid was taken aback because he didn't play much and didn't think most fans new him by sight and knew his name much less the basketball coach.

But WW said yeah I know you man and proceeded to even give some details. The kid said he that stuck with him and he is and always will be a big WW fan.

There's still a couple out there - but not many. And even one of those is more a troll I think.
I don't think LK commiserates with others outside of his job very much. I could be wrong?

I had never watched one second of a WNBA game until Caitlin Clark showed up.


And I can honestly say that I had never before and have never after Caitlin. It's not a brag or a shot or anything like that, I just haven't, and probably never will.
Attendance and tv ratings are up, but largely due to manufactured drama more than anything and up from where they were the 25 years prior is still really not good relatively speaking.

they only exist due to the huge subsidy from the NBA and the strong arming of the networks and advertisers by said NBA.

Exactly, it in theory enables WW to roster the guy without the hypocritical Hyenas coming for blood at him. "I had no choice - the courts ordered me to".

That, and he just never seemed to have any real feel for the game flow. Whatever the game plan was at the beginning is what it remained throughout the game, regardless of how the game was going. He rarely tried to change the pace of a game or throw something different at an opponent,


Good point Alt as per usual. What I noticed was in most years he was here - he would start out well - maybe beat a team that we didn't expect or play one of the few good teams on his OOC close and would look really good doing it - giving some hope.

Then when teams got film and adjusted we rarely had an effective counter adjustment and again, with the exception of that short 2-3 week run year two it went downhill fast after that.
