I understand you're anti Wade because either you're a loser who enjoys LSU sucking hind tit in basketball, or you're an imbecile. Either way you're an embarrassment.

Every single top player in the 2 major sports has been illegally recruited to their schools for at least the last 50 years.

Administrations and fans with BALLS stand behind their winning coach. Fans like you duck and run, all the while re writing history to make the coach you wouldn't support appear to be deficient.

Watch and see what Wade does in Raleigh, Dorothy. Then watch this loser we have running things miss the tournament AGAIN.

We won’t get Wade back as long as Scotty Boy is AD. But we can all look for his team to make the NCAA tournament, something our Tigers won’t come remotely close to doing with McMahon at the helm.

Sup man, good to see you in the thread bro.

Yeah, we had at it a bit. But don't let the other idiots derail the truth that we all want to win.

They think joking about McBouncy's 14 SEC wins in 3 seasons is somehow fans wish casting we lose and complete negativity. It's a coping mechanism for reality.

I lost my mom 2 years ago and for those idiots, if they saw me at the funeral smiling, laughing, joking, making fun of her, their take would be that I'm happy she died. Complete idiots.

They interject Wade into every basketball thread and then question why Wade is interjected into every MBB thread.

They've had 3+ years to read and get the facts straight, yet they are still completely misinformed.

Their final conclusion is that Wade is a cheater - however, cheating isn't the issue - it's the execution of the cheating that's the issue. In the guise of "he's a cheater" they lose any moral high-ground and still don't understand it.

Instead, putting words in someone's mouth and then refuting those words is their game. I wish there was a term for that? Hmmm, nevermind.

Anyhow, I'm up for the season and we'll see how it goes. I'll likely be in every game thread - even though it's hard to get those going the last few years and I'm not a game thread OP.

LSU won't get Wade back....PERIOD! The opportunity to do that was after last season. And believe me or not, there were some very influential people in the state pushing for just that. But that ship has sailed. He's at a very good spot at NC State. Outside of just a massive offer from LSU, I doubt he'd even consider leaving. Not after just one season.

As much as I liked Wade and as much as I think he would be great in this era of basketball (i.e. NIL and constant roster turnover), there ARE other good coaches out there. It's just a matter of LSU's AD being able to identify one. That doesn't just mean throwing a ton of money to poach a good power conf. coach. That means doing the work to be confident you find the right guy to fit LSU's program.

LSU doesn't need a circus clown. But they do need someone with visible passion. Someone that is going to get out and promote the program a bit. McMahon has NONE of that...and neither have any of LSU's coaches had that since Brown besides Wade. The results over the last 30 years speak for themselves. If identifying that guy means brining in somewhat that knows and understands the college basketball landscape well, do it! The only reason Wade was hired at LSU is because the AD had a guy on staff who played/coached college basketball under Billy Donovan. He pushed for Wade whereas Alleva would have just made a lazy Alleva hire.

There's no one in the athletic dept with any college basketball experience. Go find someone. Or hell, if nothing else, lean on the other basketball HC in the dept. She knows the game and how to coach. Vet candidates through her.

You haven’t made a single point. Arguing that “Wade bad” because of specifically tailored double standards supported by false info isn’t an argument or a point. Neither is “you don’t like LSU losing so that means you want LSU to lose.” And you did play victim after starting an argument. I also didn’t make the argument you claim. Drizz had it right, complete hypocrisy and accusing others of exactly what you’re doing this entire thread.


No, I started an argument, and said that before Will Wade started cheating he was 18-15 and 9-10 in the SEC, then when he started paying players like Reid, Smart, etc. He starts winning. I also said if he can prove to win in the ACC on a level playing field, I would eat crow. I got no response to that so instead of being met with an actual discussion, I get a personal and emotional response back almost as if your buddy(you're is the one he's probably texting). So all I did was shift my focus from a discussion, to doing the exact same thing you idiots are doing which is don't make any comments about the points I made, and talk shite, so here we are lol you can call it hypocrisy, that's fine. Just playing the game the both of you like to play.

Make believe like me and others have said. You don’t know what you’re talking about so you make up a story.

Smart was cleared by the NCAA and continued to play, but don’t let facts get in the way of whatever you “think”.

Also incorrect. Terrific grammar though. For transparency, I texted mdom basically saying I didn’t want to get into this, but I might go ham on this idiot.

You’re like 0 for 50 from the floor, you should hit the bench.

Also, your whole contention now is that Wade went 18-15 and 8-10 in the SEC and an NIT win in his first season at LSU prior to paying players and that is a very mediocre coaching record, while completely ignoring the fact that LSU went 10-21 and 2-16 in the SEC the year prior to his arrival.

Yeah, sounds like you’re being very honest and genuine with your “thoughts”. Imagine thinking quadruple the SEC wins in first season without paying players is somehow bad.

They’re two separate things but he has no idea what he’s talking about so he’s just making up a story that fits his misunderstanding of actual events. It’s a total fiction

What “specific” are you asking about? I haven’t said anything that isn’t common knowledge.

I think a little context is appropriate. That's after arriving in late March and taking over a program that had just finished last in the SEC with a 10-21 (2-16) record. He didn't have the freedom of transfer rules available at that time. So he was left with Jones' scraps (that didn't include his leading scorer, Blakeny) and the late addition of Waters. A group picked to finish last in the SEC.

With that group he was able to beat the eventual National runner up (Michigan) in game 3. He also beat a Houston team that would be a 6th seed in the NCAAT. In fact, he was able to get 7 wins over NCAAT teams that season. For context, McMahon only has 6 wins over NCAAT teams...IN HIS THREE YEAR LSU CAREER. What he did that first season exceeded all expectations. And as to the argument that he "only started winning" when he could pay players like Reid, Smart, etc, it should be noted his two leading scorers on that team were Mays and Waters...carryovers from year 1.

You can not like Wade. Or, maybe more appropriate, you can not like the LSU fans that think he was the greatest coach alive. That's perfectly ok. But to disregard the objective numbers (.700 career winning %, 7 NCAAT appearances, finishing 1st or 2nd in his conference standings 8 of 11 years...in 4 different conferences) in somehow trying to argue he's not a really good coach, is a bit absurd. The guy can coach. And if the argument is that he can only thrive in situation where he's raising money and paying recruits, well....that's EXACTLY the world he has to exist in now.

Love him or hate him, think he should have been fired or not, the guy was the best LSU basketball coach since Brown. Yes, Brady fell kind of arse-backwards into a Final Four appearance. But that was the extreme outlier in his 11 year career. He quickly returned to the "norm" by finishing last in the SEC the following season, and on pace to do the same the year after that until LSU pulled the plug midseason

Common among ignorant people maybe but still devoid of fact. Wade was not caught paying players from his wife’s checkbook or paying players at all. He paid an ex players ex finance extortion money. The other 2 violations were “lack of cooperation” violations.

The “wife’s checkbook” is a telltale sign of either ignorance or deliberate deception. They’re also the same type of posters that will say Wade was being criminally investigated by the FBI, hence the wiretap. Complete nonsense, especially considering he was the one being extorted - which is an actual crime.

But yay, it’s not like every damn basketball thread for the last 3 years doesn’t turn into Wade with the exact same mistruths and responses.

It’s a lazy distraction tactic. What’s annoying is they don’t mind discrediting that era with this stuff but the irony is it isn’t done for any other era or coach in LSU history. Nobody questions Brown or Jones’ success despite sanctions/allegations. Nobody discredits O or Miles success despite the same. The whole thing is concocted as cover for a coach who’s losing at a rate we’ve never seen before with no history to be loyal to in the first place. It’s bizarre, there’s never been anything in fandom anywhere like the mcmen.

Wade was in Hampton, VA at the Boo Williams EYBL league a short period of time after he was hired at LSU. My son and I spoke with him briefly, wished him luck etc...

You know who he was watching every game he played that weekend? Javonte Smart, along with other I'm sure.

So from THE JUMP he was doing what was necessary to win along with all.the other major coaches to secure top players for his program.

There was no bad first year, then Wade coming to the realization he had to cheat. He knew the score, and at this current time in college basketball, he's as adaptable as any coach out there with the new circumstances facing schools.

I'll be happy for him, but so freaking frustrated watching what's gonna take place in Raleigh, but knowing that should have been LSU if we had leaders with balls and common sense.
