re: ESPN on Simmons - It's hard to appreciate a great player on a bubble team

Kind of feel like telling ESPN to eff off.

So I will.

Eff off, ESPN.

As an LSU fan, I appreciate my team year in and out. I follow it closely, enjoy its wins and am sad when they lose.

No player is a "waste," no season is a "waste." The season is ongoing. The team appears to be improving. They have several key players are very young. I think the coach has done a good job of coaching them this year. I look forward to each game, the rest of the season, and am cautiously optimistic this team will rate an NCAA tourney invite and make a run in the tourney. At present, my team is tied for first place in its conference, which really is about as well as you can hope for (other than being in sole possession of first place.)

Thanks for your interest.

Jesus.
