No surprise, the lack of football knowledge on that show is the same as the Rant here.

O was always the right choice for LSU and anyone with a lick of football sense knew it from the get-go.

Is this the thread where we act like we all weren’t saying the exact same things or way worse?

If I had my own show on 11/28/16, this is mild compared to what I would have said. And now I'm as big an O fan as there is. Sometimes we end up being wrong.


Agree. The problem with that is, you and I don’t have a show.

Sometimes you have to realize your voice may be louder than others and because of that you can’t say exactly what you wish to say. Matt didn’t realize that and now it’s coming back to bite him.

If he can't interview O than it would STRICTLY be because of O's on doing.

bullshite, Matt straight up shite on O for a long time and he did it from a huge platform with many thousands listening...state you don't agree with the hire and move on, did Matt do that? No, he said LSU shopped at walmart for cheap furniture and they settled for the ugly 5 at the bar

If anything I think it's kind of silly that Coach O can't/won't appear on the show.


Maybe Jordy can work the back channels to coordinate a public apology that would satisfy O and cleanse Matt of his sins.

Matt went over the line.

He has a public voice and instead of attacking joe for the process and taking the correct wait and see approach to O and seeing that O was doing things that would make us successful in the long run he went doom and gloom and personally ran O down.

I always thought O could be successful based off the things I saw him do with the program. I did say I didn’t like the hiring process though.

He's the BR radio version of what SFP is to Tiger Rant and his half a million posts, of which he used quite a few to bash the hiring as well.

Yes. It's also the thread where we pretend that we have never been wrong about anything or anyone in our lives, and we never acted in a similar way. We all have perfect track records with that, and we're here to discuss it.

Moscona does his best to deflect from all of that (obviously). He quickly changes gears to move on from that topic when callers bring it up.

I do agree that Moscona went overboard in the bashing of the Orgeron hire. It was over the top....even for him. He couldn't have been more wrong. This season proved it.

Matt isn't any different than anyone else, he gave his opinion and he was wrong. Big deal.



Anyone else? Link me to Ott or Hanagriff saying the same things.

I believed he was the right fit. Never did I think we would have this offense.

And he's admitted he was wrong over and over...

I mean, they did.

To continue the analogy...the Great Value brand under-performs most of the time when compared to name-brands. But there's always that random instance where everyone's like "damn, that's from Wal-Mart?"

Mascona was the only one on that network that didn’t bend the knee. The rest were shills for the hire and that goes for local news reporters too

Believe it or not, the blind support of Orgeron by the majority of the media was just as bad as Mascona’s take on Orgeron

The way LSU went about that hiring process was a fricking joke. But it worked out marvelously

Let’s be honest Br radio is small market trash with host that couldn’t hack it in any large city/national market.

However when the larger shows in an area run down a coach before his first game the way matt did it’s pretty stupid.

Well it’s easy to eat the crow when you have a national title to celebrate

Yes, that was horseshite.

Only idiots thought Jimbo was ever coming here, so Alleva shoulda shut that down with the quickness. Even if you didn't understand that as a HC, Jimbo is a helluva OC, most everyone knew he wasn't coming here.

As far as that other numbnuts, there were legit questions about him-nobody GAS about Houston. Also, it was well-known he had a hardon for Texas.

If Alleva woulda jumped on O's bandwagon more truthfully (I'm not interested in his revisionist history), he'd probably still be at LSU.

If you were wrong about O, that's fine. To be so shrill and ridiculous about it, that's why you look like an arse.

With the way the search was conducted, no one would have felt sad about what was said.
