The facts you threw out do indeed point to the fact that we were a contender. Dude. Did you watch hoops in the 80's. We were always mentioned among the top teams. We always competed. We won conf championships. We advanced in the tourney.


FOUR conference titles in 25 years? Happy with that?

FIVE Sweet 16's in 25 years?

That's 20/25 years of not even making it to the Sweet 16. That's a perennial national championship contender to yall?

Who do we have on the radar that is going to fill the holes on the team next season. After Obryant and Ham we have nobody that can give us quality minutes down low.

Oh so we have to DECLINE.

You are content to just stay where we are in pure mediocrity. We gain Morgan who might can shoot. That will help. However he does nothing to replace what we are losing. If we got him AND gathers then its time to say we are ready to make a jump forward. As it is we are on the mediocrity highway.

Hey Mickey spin it all you want but losing to Ole Miss by 24 this late in the year is embarassing. This guy (your guy) has been here four years and has finished last twice, not to mention last years team may have been the worst D1 team I have ever seen from a talent stand point. Four years in we are still not very good. I am glad we are better than last year...big deal I would hope so, that team was terrible. Shooting from 40' does not work when you really have no one that can shoot it, we shoot from 40' more than NBA teams do, with no results. TJ can only win with inherited talent or guys who were going to the school no matter who the coach was (lopez twins). I have said from day one he was the wrong guy for this job and still believe that. Marcus Thornton made him look like a genius

You defend Trent Johnson and misrepresent Dale Brown and hope to be taken serious with your hoops opinion. Just back away slowly dude.

The program is and has been mediocre at best.
We can do much better. Replace Trent now.

You're talking like you know nothing of LSU basketball. What was the first game you attended?

No one is expecting final fours. We're expecting final 64s.

Should't have said DECLINE. If we don't show further improvement and make the Tourney next year....then cut ties.

We agree. I believe Trent has shown enough this year to give him 1 more season to start that trend.

So you expected us to improve from 2 wins to 3 wins to NCAAs?

You're a smart guy.

The writing on the wall? You mean the improved record written up there? The upward trend?

Trent will get the xtra year you want. I support him, but I have grave concerns after today. I said from the beginning if he can't recruit, he's toast. He's letting some good players in La.get away this year. I think there's a top 150 guy right there in BR at McKinley... he better be in purple and gold next year. Letting LA. players get away will not sustain TJ as coach for much longer.

I don't see reason to expect better next season. We lose one of or best big players. We have slop for PGs and wings.

We can finish 9-7 and we have our entire starting 5 returning. That's not reason to expect better?

I'm not seeing it. I hope you're right, though.

I didn't believe were were any good this season. But we still could have snuck in the NCAAs and kept our brand in the mix. We're approaching Tulane status.

No excuses.

We need to do 2 things in the next 2 yrs: fire TJ and fix the PMAC so my knees are not JAMMED into the seat in front of me!

As far as Trent...I'm still looking forward to the rest of this season
