Says LSU is a “cesspool” and LSU and Wade deserve each other. What a clown.

You guys remember in 2019 when we were good at football and basketball how pissed people were? Especially in basketball with the old guard guys like Dick Vitale. Contrast that with the Brian Kelly-McMahon era and we were sliding to irrelevancy. It’s much better to be talked about negatively than not at all.

He’s a northeastern elitist who only knows baseball and MLB history. The hot-take morning host thing has really run its course and all these dudes just yell edgy stuff for attention. Pay him no mind.

That guy doesn’t know anything about LSU, nor does he care. He is making some content to fill three hours of airtime today. Tomorrow, he won’t even remember what he said today. Don’t get worked up about this.

Just last year Darian DeVires takes a job at West Virgina, coaches for ONE season, then laves for Indiana, taking WVU's best player (his son) with him. Evidently that was ok.

However Wade leaves after one season and he and LSU are "scum". The only leg the ill-informed, virtue signaling media tries to stand on his that Wade was previously fired by LSU for alleged NCAA violations. While true, they are unable or (more appropriately) unwilling to acknowledge the massive change in college sports between 2017-2018 (when the alleged violations occurred) and today. Namely that offering money to players as an inducement to sign with the school is now not only "legal", but mandatory.

This wasn't a situation where Wade was fired because he was diddling a member of the gymnastics team, or covering up a gang rape by his starting PG and SF. Yet, somehow he and LSU are "scum" for not abiding by some unwritten morality rules that, evidently, no other school in the NCAA has to abide by. Of course, this flows from the Kiffin hire where, evidently, there is a rule that LSU can't offer the HC of its rival a job just because the rival school is in the CFP. So if you are keeping score at home, LSU owed Ole Miss a duty to make sure Ole Miss stayed relevant and NC State a duty to not force them to hire a new coach after one season. Would Ole Miss and NC State be forced to give LSU "compensatory" picks in the draft if LSU would have refrained from offering their coaches a job?

If you don't like a competitor taking your valuable employees then either make it to where your employees do not want to leave OR be better. Otherwise, this is all just hypocritical virtue signaling noise with bare surface level analysis of the actual happenings.

after years of doing things the "right way" and seeing the results under McMahon, I'm ok with being a cesspool.

Unless the NCAA starts granting tourney births for those that stick to the moral code

I’m glad the current administration doesn’t make decisions based on national media wastes of space punching air. LSU was dying on the vine under CRTate and Fat Scott.

it's just annoying, UM ignored their coach banging staffers until it became a convenient way for them to get rid of a losing coach....but LSU is the cesspool for poaching coaches? Ok guys, just a bunch of fricking hypocrites.

Dipping in while the water is hot. You know what's interesting to me - not just about sports media but about all media in general. A narrative gets set and then everyone just joins in the chorus. Mad Dog has no real idea, he just sees what Steven A says, what Finebaum says, what Mike Francesca says, and then he just parrots it. He's just another voice in the echo chamber being lazy - picking his takes off the tree.

Bring it on, man. I want to be the baddest motherfricking school in the nation. LSU needs Sports ID to lean into this shite HARD. I'd love it more than anything for Lane and Wade and whomever to get on a microphone, look right into the camera and say "Hey. Listen up. Ready? frick you. frick all of you. What do you think about that?"

Let the hatred flow through you, Tigers. Let it flow freely. Hate us. REALLY hate us. Don't just dick around with it. Designate some real time for it. Bring on the sheer hatred and let it fuel us.

I'm noticing a pattern...

Hire Kelly --> LSU bad
Fire Kelly --> LSU bad
Hire Kiffin --> LSU bad
Hire Wade --> LSU bad

If national media cared about college baseball, they probably would have complained about us hiring Jay Johnson too.
