Refreshing topic, never discussed.



I'd rather this topic than the topic of how much a fricking disaster of a hire McMahon was and how fricking dogshit he is as a coach.

Great man tho.

I loved Wade but Woodward said the exact issue in his press release. “Overwhelming shroud of negativity”.

I don’t know about y’all, but it got really old watching commentators talk about wiretapping every game we played. Every opposing fanbase discredit any accomplishments because getting a player 20 miles from campus to pick us over Kentucky some how ruined the perfect competitive balance of college basketball.

Every coach, team and fanbase that we played would treat our game like the NBA finals because they annointed themselves College Basketballs Batman tasked with defeating the big bad cheating Will Wade.

shite got old as hell. You can act like you were fine with being the villain, but that’s so much easier from your armchair.

At the end of the day, we got railroaded by the public, media and NCAA. They aren’t going to do that to Kansas or Duke. It is what it is. That’s not Woodwards fault.

This is true if you look deeper into what was going on at the time and not just surface level issues. Actually do research, and it’s all there

And this is 100000% true. People need to just realize basketball is and never will be LSU. Football and baseball are the main 2. Yes we all want LSU to be dominant in every sport. But we don’t and never really did care about basketball. Even when shaq was here, it was nice to be good but we were still bitching about football and how that’s always been #1.

I just want a competitive team who makes the tourney almost every year with trips to the sweet 16 every few years. That’s what LSU basketball should and always has been. Stop putting final 4 and natty expectations on MBB because they never were there and never realistically will be.

And yet, for the better part of about 25 years, we were generally considered probably the second best one in the SEC.

It's strange how little perspective some people have about things beyond like the past 10 years or so.

Nice! This rumor has been spread on this site over and over with zero traceability or verifiable source. It was actually contradicted with everyone i know close to the program. Can you please provide this easily attainable sources so i can educate myself? Thanks in advance!

Wade deserved to be fired for being stupid. The mistake was not hiring John Brady to be a stop gap coach for say a 3 year stint till the dust had settle then go make a proper hire.

Wade trashed our basketball program and the school. He paid players out of his own damn pocket which is a big violation. That’s one thing but He got caught on tape admitting it!

He’s a Grade A jackass!

We needed to clean up or get big punishnent and Woodward did what he had to do.

Glad wade, the idiot is gone.

Man...I'm glad I'm an LSU football and Baseball guy instead of a Basketball guy.


Y'all seem miserable.

We have a National Championship in baseball

A QB making a heisman run (and the best team ever plus some in 2019)


And y'all are over here having fits because y'all fired the best coach y'all had in a while for *gasp* paying players! (Just before NIL)

The only thing wade did wrong was get caught being sloppy.

I hope LSU MBB improves, but I don't see it getting done with the choirboy McMahon.
So until then I'll just not care

WW is the basketball version of O without the accent. Notice no one else is trying to hire him so he continues to build McNeese into a tournament team.

I love LSU football more than anything. But when I was growing up we sucked. And before Skip came along Daddy Dale gave me hope and faith in LSU sports. Going on final 4 runs and deep into the tourney is something special. College basketball is unique and special and when your team is in the mix it’s awesome. Wade never provided that for LSU. I don’t think McMahon will either. But our current coach has no chance because of the idiot and jackass that proceeded him and left my beloved basketball program in complete shambles. Thanks Wade for really never winning jack squat and putting us in the situation we’re in now.

I believe the McMahon hire had to do with the black cloud of the NCAA hanging over the program. Because of Wade’s ignorance. Not sure who would want to take over with all the question marks and possible sanctions. Would have to have been someone looking to move up no matter what. List was probably small
