I think its just a largely apathetic fan base because its never really had a consistent winner to build a new fan base....and wade was finally doing that, winning, recruiting blue chips, and invigorating the fan base by engaging them, he just kind of got it. So it was disheartening to see LSU piss that away when they really didn't have to. Made even worse when most of the allegations weren't even from his time here, yet dumbasses continue to believe it was.

McMahon may build a winner here, who knows (I have my doubts he's built for this era of college athletics) but I think the men's basketball fan base has just grown tired of the continued promise of a slow build. It's just a program that has struggled to gain sustained momentum for most of its existence.

Then you also have a segment of r tards that view MBB as competition to baseball for whatever reason so they refuse to support it, I don't really know why this is a thing

This is one of the things that really confuses me, J.

It's like why?

There’s no plan or vision for basketball. We hire the cheapest guy we can find and hope it works. The highest profile coach we’ve ever hired was Trent Johnson, think about that.

It is. But boy do they love the drama. They’d rather argue about Will Wade being fired vs talk basketball

I looked back on season prediction theeads and the same people that picked them to win 6-7 SEC games have a hard time admitting the improvment from Y1-Y2.

That alone buys him a Y3, which is a make or break year.

Say what you want about McMahon, (I wish Greg were still here coaching Special Teams) but "Mr. Excitement" has one more season to get it done or it's Adios Amigo.

Farewell and Adieu. (As Quint told Hooper regarding the Shark cage in "Jaws")

If you can't build a successful basketball program in three seasons at LSU, you don't need to be here......
