quote:

LSU basketball coach Johnny Jones announced Thursday afternoon that Victor, a 6-foot-9 junior forward from New Orleans, will miss the Tigers’ first handful of games due to violating an undisclosed team rule.

“Early on he’ll miss a couple of games I think in the beginning of the season,” Jones said. “I’ve just got to challenge him. We have some team rules in place that you have to abide by. He failed to do that. But he’s certainly back on track now and taking care of his responsibilities.”

Well, this is certainly not a good start to an expected pitiful season. Will Jones make it to SEC play?

Jones has zero fricking control of this team. Victor knows it, he saw the TQ and Simmons shite.

wooohoo last place in the sec here we come

Too bad victor does not have the family structure to help keep on on the path to righteousness

Waaaaay too late for Johnny to begin demanding accountability. All the players who have been here before this year know the score and already don't respect him and are probably laughing at the attempt.

I was just telling my buddy that LSU has two decent players and a third (Patterson) who I think is at least consistent.

Guess that number is one less now...hope we beat those "bad teams" to start the season

Well he sort of left it open ended. If we go down to Atlantis without him it will be so bad. But if it is just a few shite games, it doesn't matter and would be good getting guys reps.

As far as CJJ losing control, we have no idea what Victor did. Jazz Ferguson just got suspended from the football...has O lost control? Maybe he missed a few classes so he is suspending, I have no idea.

I do not want CJJ as coach any longer. However, people who are "pissed" he was hired...stop. We're not a basketball powerhouse, he was cheap, he brought great recruits in. He generated a buzz about basketball that hasn't been there in a while. He also failed miserably with that talent, so it's time for him to go. However, it was worth taking a chance on him. It's not like it has set us back as a program, we were shite to begin with.

I love LSU basketball as much as anyone so I will continue to watch every game and hope we win all of them. All the fans who simply "can't watch until CJJ is gone"...well, you'll always be like that with any LSU basketball coach that doesn't make it to the Sweet 16 (FYI, that's going to basically be every coach).

Looks like we're about to break out the five guard starting lineup.

For anybody with better basketball knowledge than me, does Craig Victor have any nba potential?

Just curious because he's my kid's favorite player after that LSU trick or treating event on sorority row. Craig was incredibly nice playing with the kids and helping them slam dunk on the little hoops they had set up.
