Dick Vitale is happy that his mafia killed Chuck Norris. They can sleep soundly now that satan has been destroyed.

Just like he tried to tell us about Petrino, Self, K, and Cal, right? He's the biggest hypocrite in college basketball.

That makes me so proud. I don’t need a competitive basketball program, I just have comfort in knowing that mean things aren’t being tweeted about our coach.


This is very important to our athletic administration and most LSU fans.

Slept great again today knowing that Forde and Dickie V wouldn’t tweet anything mean about us. I’m just hoping we can hit 50 on Saturday and wake up again with no mean tweets about us.

Can you possibly be anymore motherfLucking stupid?????

I guess coach gay at puke and all the other coaches that sign the top players do it by the book right??

Any guesses why pricky v and gay Bilas don't complain about the coach gays, the cals, the selfs, and the "he looked me dead in the eye and said he didn't do it" Pitinos???


We finally got a coach that did what it took to win in college basketball. We hadn't had one since Dale. Then we allowed the angry mob and weak assed NCAA run him out on a rail. Now we're back in the TJ days. Enjoy!!! And wake the fLuck up in regards to how the world works.

Weird how quickly LSU fans turn on a winner.
John Brady built the program, on Probation, from nothing and went to the Final Four.
His team had some key injuries, stumbled, and they fired him.
Johnson used the players, Brady recruited and won the SEC. He ran out of John's recruits/players and failed.
Hired Johnny Jones.
Fired Johnny Jones.
Hired Wade who consistently took us to the Tourney. Fired Wade.
Notice a trend by the administration.
The winners are treated the same as the losers. No support. Nothing but attacks and termination.
Now I think I understand why no top proven coach has been interested in LSU men's basketball.

Brian Kelly, Jay Johnson, Kim Mulkey.

I think Woodward is doing quite well.

It’s like y’all forgot the train wreck LSU had as AD before Woodward got here. Geez lol

It's like when the LSU basketball starts to get some semblance of winning outside forces converge (media and NCAA) and the administration refuses to fight back and complies with their demands.

We are a blueblood in football. We are not a blueblood in basketball. Bluebloods get the benefit of doubt. The NCAA doesn't scrutinize the bluebloods as much as the non-bluebloods. Just ask UNLV.

With that said it seems basketball blueblood club is more cultish than football and a lot harder to break into.

Simple thought here. I am open to being wrong. Dick Vitale never criticizes the Blueblood basketball coaches because top basketball coaches can cut his access/ job off with the quickness. Therefore leaving DV calling SWAC games in Jackson, Mississippi.

For example, DV would never criticize Pitino, Coach K, Roy Williams or Bill Self because these coaches have power and skins on the wall. One word about Zion, and Coach K could have called ESPN and had DV cancelled.

DV isn’t scared of LSU or Will Wade because Will Wade hasn’t won anything.

I think more than anything, Vitale remains relevant by being a scared arse kisser.

Didn’t fans figure something was odd when Ole Miss was ranked like # 3 in football under Hugh Freeze ? Lol.

I don’t like fans saying LSU is a Football School so let it go when it comes to men’s basketball.

My guess: there are only so many dollars you can throw at an athletic Department. I suppose if LSU wanted to be like Vanderbilt in football and paid bare minimum for baseball and women’s basketball, then dollars would open up for Woody to dump a 7 figure salary for a men’s basketball coach. We could build a basketball palace for the ages and hire the best coach out there !

We would finally win in basketball! But lose in everything else.

I could write an essay on what each of those coaches have done and the damning information is readily available and honestly pretty well known by everyone. You think DV ever took two minutes out the middle of a conference championship game to chronicle it like he did to us? You all know the answer.
