re: I sense that none of the alumni players missed Brady today..

Brady alienated the fanbase. Badcat will come on here and claim the "coach bashers" ran Brady out and the program into the ground, but the fact is Brady really could give two shits about LSU. T Johnson, meanwhile, has embraced the university and the program's past...almost as if he wanted to know everything he could to progress into the future.

Daddy Dale made it quite clear that Brady was an unwelcoming host. Brady never did what Dale did - go to Dean/Skip and demand that we have certain promotions and events parralleling the games. Brady made no effort to unify the former players with the his and the fanbase. Brady just assumed it was all about winning and recruiting - nothing else.

When you make a cheap hire because your program nearly gets the death penalty, you will get a cheap return in sincerity, character, and passion from a fanbase. Tiger20, Bad Cat, LSU Beatles, and the like treat Brady with kid gloves and use sanctions to mask his poor coaching ability. NO coach was going to succeed with sanctions...so it wasn't Brady being shortarmed.

Brady didn't give a shite about LSU and he recruited kids who gave two shits about LSU, as evident by their character (Minor, Lloreda, Shawnson Johnson, J. Young, Gipson, Bush, Koundja) and lack of team player attitude. When you don't really embrace who you represent and respect it, how are you supposed to ask for that in return?
