My first appreciation has to go to Garrett Temple. You had a kick arse career... you have such great heart and I could see it in your play. You stepped up when people think you couldn't. I will miss your D. I will miss that 3 you pop when we are least expecting it... Thanks so much for what you have done as a Tiger!!!! Best of luck in your future!

MT- You are truly an amazing player and will do great in the NBA. Thanks for making this season so much fun to watch. You are a Tiger that will truly be missed.

TM- Reason why this team was so great, coming off the bench at key times and stepping up. Thank you for your humility and stepping up when we needed you.

CJ- You made the game tonight against NC fun to watch. I saw you step up tonight and you played great in O and D. Thanks for being our big man inside. You stepped up and you weren't afraid of anyone this season...including your bitch Hansbrough!

QT- One of the best guys off the bench for any team. Thanks for all your rebounds and hustle. I know it will not be forgotten as guys like you make a team better. Thanks for being the big man that busted his arse!

Coach TJ- Thanks for a great year. You are such a classy guy and glad you are here at LSU. Looking forward to more years with you here. Thank you for taking LSU basketball to a level where can be.

It's amazing what one year can do. The seniors on this team really stepped it up this season. However, it was not just because of them that the team accomplished so much this season.

There's something to be said about a coach who can take a team and make such a drastic improvement in his first year. It takes a complete change in attitude. Much like Saban improved his first team by 5 wins over the previous year, the 14 win improvement in this year's team was phenomenal.

The bottom line is that there is no way this team, even with the seniors, gets an NCAA bid with John Brady at the helm. The team started this year with many of its typical bad habits, such as poor shot selection, and gradually began showing signs of a coherent offense that we had never seen in the previous years.

There's no reason to think Coach Johnson can't recruit as well or better than the talent that has come through this program in the last 10 years. And hopefully, he can lock down the state.

Congratulations to the LSU players and coaches for an excellent year!

Hell of a season. Great job boys!




Next season could be rough, but let's hope TJ can get some good recruits in here and we can make some more runs.

Easily one of the top five LSU seasons in my lifetime. I'll always remember this team and season.
