31.8% three point percentage. I think we have upgraded with McKinnon and King.
Nebraska shot 17/34 three pointers. That will win you a lot of games. Preseason rankings don't mean a thing. Nebraska has a good team like I am hoping LSU does also.
McKinnon and Sutton don't play the same position. You only have one guard in your starting lineup and Tamba isn't a guard by any means.McKinnon was one of the reasons we came on strong in the second half with his hustle and energy and speed down the court. Miller has a long way to go to become a mature player. Too hesitant, not enough confidence and not tough enough under the boards.

That is absolutely true if it is basketball. However if your name is Football then ahem - LSU Unveils $28 Million Locker Room Upgrades, And You Could Basically Live Here.

My point, Nussmeir loves LSU.
Number one how do you know this? Have you known him personally or is that someone said that you read about? Number two I would love anyplace that paid me millions of dollars even though I never was a big success. You are living in the past if you think any of these players play for anything other than money now and a chance at a pro career later.

Imagine trying to recruit players. Imagine trying to keep your current roster from jumping into the transfer

C grade coaches. You mean like Les and Orgeron? You want another "sure thing" like Kiffen and pay through the nose again with a long contract with all kinds of bonuses for mediorce performance. Give me a C grade coach anyway who needs to prove himself and is hungry to do so which means he will work hard. Apparently these days, a lot of head coaches only duty is to cash their outrageous checks.
Better than Givens is faint praise but I do agree. He would have started last year.
Mulkey should be embarrassed to schedule the absolute creampuffs she does in the early season. They are so boring.
You do get ABC sports on ESPN Unlimited. Third time I have reported this.

My minor observation is that Tarleton State Coach Billy Gillispie has been a big time coach at UTEP, Texas A&M, Kentucky and Texas Tech. He has had controversy with the way he handled his players but there is no doubt he knows the game.

I thought Tarleton did a good job in the first half with moving the ball on offense and offensive rebounding. I thought their defense wasn't a lack of effort or coaching scheme but for once LSU had better players and Tarleton just couldn't match up. Especially when our shots from three were falling with regularity. Hot shooting will win you a lot of games but it is doubtful we will be able to do this on a consistent basis when we hit teams that match up with us.
Oh I believe they are trying to make it confusing. Especially the Disney so called bargain bundle. ESPN Unlimited includes ESPN+ but if you get it through the Disney bundle you don't get it. . And if you stick with the bundle next year it will cost you ten more dollars at least. I gave up on non sports programming and signed up for ESPN Unlimited direct from ESPN. Saved $58 a month from my YouTubeTv cost.
I have really gotten to the point where I am going to try my hardest to ignore who is on the sidelines. Pull hard for the players and hope they can come through with at least competitive and entertaining games. The SEC will be strong again and it will be very tough to win an away game so, yes we will have our losses. Just like to watch well played basketball, few fouls and turnovers, move the ball around with good passes. If we do this then the wins will come. Probably not enough to save McMahon but the focus should be on the players not him.

It’s not our money. Why should we care?
Well as long as the boosters keep paying, it's not a problem. But are they going to be willing to keep paying if there aren't any results? It is not just the Kelly buyout. It is the assistant coaches, NIL money as we will have to hit the portal hard again, the salary of the new coach, a buyout of McMahon's contract if they fire him this season, hiring new coordinator's and on and on.
Landry and Woodward is easy. Woodward is a James Carville Democrat and Landry is a MAGA Republican. Politics pure and simple.

YouTubeTV is owned by Google which is a 3 Trillion Dollar company. The idea of Disney putting them out of business is hilarious.The next time the NCAA TV package comes up for bid, Google could outbid them and put ESPN out of business.

If all you want is LSU sports, then sign up for ESPN Unlimited which even gets you ESPN+ which is usually separate. I saved $58 a month cancelling YouTubeTV and signing up for this.

Did you not read my post? I said hope springs eternal even with no evidence to support it. UCF is a fairly good team compared to Louisiana Christian and Loyola New Orleans which were our previous exhibition opponents. I also said you couldn't judge until SEC games?
