CKM has never been in this situation before and has no clue what she is doing and needs saturncube21 to guide her and tell her what she needs to do to correct this.
Fricking idiot
Mulkey isn't infallible and it's fair to offer legit criticism.

quote:when he was at LSU, I checked his stats and among the top 100 scorers in the country, he was something like 95 in shooting percentage.
cam Thomas is terrible. high volume scorer, does basically nothing else for the team. horrible D, no assists, no boards, no steals or really any other value.
So yes, he scored a lot, but was very inefficient doing it. And his D isn't good.
Not a good combo.

Chambliss will get his TRO from the MS state court and will play for Ole Miss this year.

The difference between pro and college ball was the emotional connection to the players and the university.
quote:I agree, I'm a fan of LSU and not necessarily any particular player. I cheer for the purple and gold.
The bottom line is you (and I) cheer for the "colors". It doesn't matter who is wearing those colors in that particular year. If they are playing in an LSU uniform you are going to cheer for them...because you are an LSU fan, not a (insert player) fan. You are only a fan of the player BECAUSE he is wearing an LSU uniform...not a fan of LSU because LSU is the team that player happens to play for at the time. The "names" have always changed. The brand/program hasn't.
But knowing the players, especially when they've been here awhile, adds to my emotional attachment to the team. Seeing mostly new guys every year, who are only here for the money, and knowing most will leave next year, lessens my attachment to the team, even if they're wearing P&G.

It feels very pay-for-play and hollow, like the NFL. It's not as interesting or unique of a product as it used to be.
The difference between pro and college ball was the emotional connection to the players and the university. And of course the pageantry.
But with players jumping from team to team every year, that emotional connection is gone. They're just mercenaries.
"Hollow" is the perfect word for it.
We already have a pro league (which I don't watch). We don't need another.

Zero continuity on rosters. Combined with NIL, it's a feeding frenzy with players putting themselves up for sale every year, knowing they can immediately play at their transfer school.
All of this may be good for the players' bank account, but it's terrible for the game and for the fans. There's zero connection to the players.
Eventually, fan interest will wane - it's already decreased for me. I watch far less college football as I did a few years and read less commentary.
re: What is going to be Lane’s LSU turnover/touchdown player sideline celebration?

nothing. All that nonsense is a fad that needs to go away.
TDs and turnovers should be expected. Act like you've been there before.

quote:this is correct. The NBA is definitely woke, and is in bed with China as well.
I think he really means the NBA more than college basketball. The NBA has gone left politically for sure since Covid but it's also become a pretty terrible product for the most part. Between LSU being terrible at basketball and the NBA becoming a contest of who can take the most bad 3's, I tuned out of basketball for the most part.
And it's an unwatchable product on the floor. High ball screen and launching 3-pointers. Very little movement otherwise, both with the ball and off-ball.
Unfortunately too many college teams follow this model and the game is tough to watch.
Combine that with the college transfer portal with massive annual roster turnover and you have a bad situation.
I used to love basketball 25 years ago when the product on the floor was much better, but not much anymore.

quote:correct.
Baseball does NOTHING for LSU on a national scale.
Look, I want LSU to excel in all sports and I'm happy that LSU has won championships in baseball. But baseball, although important to some on this board, is a minor sport and almost no one, outside of a few schools, cares about it.
So no, we shouldn't be shifting money from MBB to baseball.

It's kind of a shitty sport. Possessions are pretty repetitive, refs make it unwatchable, and the bonus makes it incredibly anticlimactic.
I used to love college basketball. But it’s boring now. Nearly every team runs a high ball screen offensive set, with 2 guys in the deep corner and two others beyond the arc, with no movement at all.
Most teams play man defense with little zone, presses, or traps.
The refs call way too many fouls.
And in too many games, the last two minutes are unwatchable, with fouls, free throws, timeouts, and lineup changes.
The game bears little resemblance to what i loved back in the 80s when i was at LSU.
