It isn't much but Sporting News did have a little section on LSU basketball calling the Tigers "mid major" while having a picture of Thornton on the front page.

LSU Sporting News shout out

quote:

LSU. The Tigers have two small problems adding up to one big one. Their light non-conference schedule and the dearth of elite teams in the SEC -- our highest-seeded team was a No. 8, Florida -- gives LSU the profile of an excellent mid-major.

Like an idiot I accidentally hit ENTER before I finished the subject line. This is why I don't post.

I don't think the author quite grasps the concept of 'mid major' as it pertains to college basketball.

No. LSU's resume (i.e. profile) resembles that of a mid-major.

He's saying their resume appears similar to that of a mid-major.

In basketball, we are a mid major.

I think what some of the posters are trying to say is that the term Mid Major technically has nothing to do with how good of a basketball team you are
