Cancel that game then. I didn't even know we had one.I'm sure that game will be sorely missed.

And the last time players begged the administration to hire a coach ?????

January, 1987. Mike Archer

Who were the other candidates? Nobody special.

Well, he still sounds like one now threatening to not play in an alumni game.


Yeah the alumni game threat is dumb.

I'd much rather have a program that wins on a consistent basis than have an annual alumni game that is pretty damn boring to begin with.

Is this hire about actually improving LSU basketball or appeasing a bunch of people that played 20 years ago?

Where were these guys 4 years ago? Where was their support for the program the past 3 years when we were struggling?

What alumni game? There hasn't been an alumni game in years.

Hopefully we hire Dixon and find out who the real fricking supporters of this program are.

The bitches can have Primerica rent out a gym and have their annual alumni game, BBQ, and coleslaw tossing competition somewhere else.

Speaking of Clarence, the last time I saw him in the Alumni game he could barely make it up and down the court. I couldn't believe how much weight he had put on since his playing days.

So Clarence is going to join Temple to try and undermine LSU basketball like Temple did to Trent, if he doesn't get his man...Nice.

I think I'll settle for watching LSU have a decent basketball team than worrying about some alumni game.

The sheep mentality of people on social media is sad.

If they hire Johnny Jones the attendance for the alumni game and actual games in the PMAC will probably be about the same.

I've probably been to more games the last 9 years than Clarence has since he graduated from LSU. They really are trying to get a BBQ gang together huh?

"These fans haven't been in that locker room and they don't understand what Johnny Jones means," Ceasar said. "I could have gone to a lot of places, but I came to LSU because of Johnny Jones. When he came to recruit me, he made me feel like the prettiest girl at the prom.

"He recruited all of us. He recruited Shaq. He recruited Vernel (Singleton). He brought us all in.We came to LSU because of Johnny Jones."


Fine. But why hasn't he used this to get a HC job at any other major conf. program? How come year after year numerous schools fire/hire new coaches, yet the only time Jones is a "must have" candidate is when the LSU job is open?
