I think you took it the wrong way and may be a little touchy as this is your baby. Wasn't being a smartass and I wouldn't call predicting a loss to Florida shitting on the program.

Just pointing out his overall conference record may end up being 100-100 as a head coach.

I predicted Florida to win also. That's not the shitting I was talking about. Obviously trying to make the connection to Jones being an even 500 coach makes him seem less than good enough for LSU. You can come back and say you were just "pointing out" that he will be 100-100 but come on man... I know that was meant as a burn.

The timing of all this Johnny Jones hate has started to ware me down I guess. People have looked at 0 historical references to basketball. While I think LSU should have won the Texas A&M game, I am not gonna act like Jones is shite. His teams have improved in each of his 3 years from the previous year. I have no doubt the program is going in the right direction. No doubt at all.

I don't either

100-100 is just an interesting number is all. I wouldn't have said anything if it was 78-78. Swear that wasn't a burn.

I dont necessarily disagree with you. However, the issues at hand, big or small, are just baffling. You as much as anyone know this team should make the NCAA tourney and anything less will be a disappointment.

A lot of my hangups with Jones are things that he should be skilled at, which is why I am extremely confused. Those who watch LSU play realize the problems we have had with Gray at point. I harp on this only because it is something that Jones should be well versed in. shite, he was a very good PG and has the experience. Therefore it is difficult to watch the way Gray conducts himself as a PG with Jones being his head coach.

I can get past certain flaws because every coach has them, but late game situations and PG play should be two calling cards of Jones and that is far from the case. Hell after a timeout in the A&M game, he put Gray back in the game, Jones drew up the play for Gray to drive with the option to dish to Hornsby in the corner. But we were only down one at had plenty of time to run a set. He had 3 timeouts at the end of game that went to waste and could have been used to slow down aggie runs.

I just leave these games confused more-so than satisfied with the outcome.
