Watching Florida

One could only hope LSU could recruit like them

Must be nice to to not have to recruit with the threat of draconian sanctions hanging over your head and have your recruiting results judged for a healthy team instead of for a team having your best players lost for the season.

Are u related to your defender?

Once again Tigersbb during the 78-79 season preseason All American Durand Macklin broke his foot in the 2nd game and missed all season. Macklin was easily a bigger loss than Thomas and Reed combined. However instead of curling up into a fetal ball and rolling over like Mcloser Dale Brown led his team to an SEC title and a Sweet 16 appearance. Imagine that.

LSU has actually had better recruiting classes than Florida every year under McMahon Florida beats us in the portal, but haven’t been too far ahead of us a couple of those years. Just shows how poor of a coach McMahon is and evaluator of talent.

That's what just sucks LSU could have had Golden but NO that fat fricking Woody hired the worst basketball coach at any level there is! It just SUCKS!

You’ll never recover from the posts you’ve made this season.

Yeah, I was a season ticket holder and that was a great season, It was also Year 7 of the Fantastic Climb to the Top giving Dale plenty of time to assemble his team. Dale didn't have to recruit under pending NCAA sanctions and was able to recruit Dewayne Scales, Greg Cook, Al Green, Rick Mattick and Tree Green along with Ethan Martin, Willie Sims.. and Jordy Hultberg in the backcourt. Rudy was a big loss but there was enough talent to overcome it. The SEC was only ten teams and was not as strong top to bottom as the league is today.

Golden was available to hire, but McWoodward sat on his arse and Foley grabbed him.

Really? Compare their two records as they stood that week. McMahon had four conference titles and Golden's best finsih was fourth in his conference.This board would have been in total melt mode if Golden was hired over McMahon. Please tell us what in comparison of their records at the time would have made you hire Golden instead of McMahon.

Hindsight is great, but hindsight also includes that McMahon inherited a program facing NCAA probation and an empty roster while Golden inherited a good team from Mike White with no NCAA cloud. McMahon has lost his best two players to season ending injuries the past two seasons while Golden has not lost a significant player.

Why don't you respond instead of a snarky comment. Because you can't . Neither one inherited the same level of talent as the other and neither lost the same quality players as the other one.

So again I’ll ask, why do you pretend to be an LSU fan?
