You replied to me, but I know this wasn't meant for me.

I actually think Jones catches a lot of shite He would have gotten beat down in the current sec, but there was some fun moments.

Had they won that NC state game and retained mickey or Martin he might have had a really strong stretch.


But of course the bottom fell out and it was UGLY.

Don’t let that bother you. They want you to bow down to something they created but they know isn’t real. That’s why the vitriol is attached to it.

JJ wasn’t a strong leader but he had the right people behind him and the recruiting was working. He messed up when he paid TQ, letting someone like that have leverage shattered the team and cost him the locker room. When you lose the locker room there’s no coming back from it.

I'm generally bothered because I didn't want our season to end.

So, yeah, I'm pretty transparent with that and idiots are really going to bother me now.

People liked him here, he could’ve been around awhile but at some point a coach has to actually coach.

Looking back...

TQ going all hero ball with Ben Simmons is hilarious. If you're not an LSU fan, you would have watched that shite like Mystery Theater stuff.

He literally started his career here with 0 scholarship players and ncaa sanction! This is pretty much his first year I’ll take it!!

Dale had 25 years

Took Dale 7 years to get to tournament

Took Dale 15 years to get to tournament 4 years straight

Wade had 5 years

Took Wade 2 years to make it to the tournament

** would have Took Wade 5 years to make the tournament 4 straight years if not for covid


I understand Dale has did a lot of good, and was one of the best coaches ever for lsu but by looking at the trajectory Wade was better earlier in his career

MK, am I the only dude that thinks TQ got jealous of BEn Simmons and decided to hero himself?

I can't be the only one that watched that shite show.

Next year will be year .035 but we’ll have to wait and see what the W-L record will be before we can say if he has “his players” or not.

There are about 10 of us that will talk about this forever. And you know who you are.

You are correct, Blakeney hinted about this after the SEC tourney loss debacle, that TQ thought he was the leader but wasn’t. The year before the story was how TQ thought he was on the M&M boys level. You also allegedly had his name on Dawkins pay sheet. And if you remember in the opener his freshman year, when he was awful BTW, Jones started him over a 2 year incumbent starter Anthony Hickey, who was a very good PG. We lost to UMASS and TQ stunk it up. Seems like this guy was a cancer

NCAA tournament expanded from 32 teams to 64 in 1985. So it's really dumb to compare how long it took Brown vs Wade to get to the field and to do it 5 times.

We can’t do that because then we’d have to diminish the 1981 final 4 run.
