Wonder if we will schedule McNeese in our non-conference games next year or in the near future. Would be interesting seeing Wade return to the PMAC on the opposing side.

I doubt it. We've only played them once the last 7 years and I'd be surprised if Wade getting hired there is the catalyst to scheduling them regularly again.

No chance. LSU administration looks foolish now and will look worse when/if nothing happens to Wade. They won’t risk anything that might reflect poorly on them like LSU dropping the game to McNeese on home floor. Direct apples to apples comparison to look like the doofuses they are.

I believe it makes sense that he was fired when he was. If Woody allows LSU to play in tournament with Wade and they make it past opening weekend, it would have been much more difficult to push it past fan base to fire him. 2021-22 team and tournament was sacrificed for clean enough break from Wade.
