FWIW, I'm happy and relieved that people are upset about the state of the MBB program.
Actually we were discussing this earlier in another thread. There are a small handful of folks here who really care about basketball and if you happen upon a thread that might give one the impression that there is a lot of passion for hoops.
There isn't....if you are outside the tiny threads where the topic is discussed here there is little or no passion or interest or knowledge of LSU hoops relative to other sports around.
I tell this story all the time, but for about the last 20 years and this is true and very consistently so...from time to time over that period I would be at a sports bar or a restaurant during a time an LSU basketball game was on - and the game would be about to start and it wasn't on any t.v. - at a Baton Rouge sports bar or restaurant mind you. So inevitably I'd go ask them to put the game on and almost every time...they'd say "what game". this happened more times than I could count. And it think gives you a good idea of the apathy.

Let me tell you this, I was on a work trip to Baltimore area in early 2022 with a new thing I was working and my co-worker and I went to have some beers and apps prior to our flight back. I had the server turn on LSU MBB game. We lost to Arky unfortunately.
Not completely related man, but this is what MBB fans do.

Exactly! All the negativity and trashing of the MBB program has little to do with being passionate. It's about rantards being rantards. You see it after a baseball loss and that program is in great shape.
You have a bunch of underwear, sofa jocks who just like to bitch about everything while claiming anyone who doesn't accepts mediocrity. They don't know nor do they care about the realities of the program. They think demanding unconditional excellence in LSU sports makes up for the lack of excellence in their own lives. They are overcompensating for something.

I think the real problem is we don't have a history to fall back on. WE have had some good teams, but overall no long history of men's success in BB. We are not Kentucky or Duke or Indiana etc.etc. So therefore the topic doesn't come up very often. Now football or baseball does because we have a long history of fairly good success. Hopefully in Women's BB we have started something to talk about.
