Have to admit that was a fun run with LSU women’s basketball 10-15 years ago.

Before their first final four, LSU women had most tourney wins without final 4


Then they made 800 final fours in a row and never advanced

seems like a weird time to bitch about the women’s basketball team when we’re actually having a pretty decent year. we’re about to jump into the rankings

God. The one vs Tennessee when they gave up the full court layup at the buzzer was ridiculous.

Whats even more ridiculous now is how much money women’s basketball loses every year. It’s like no one cares but they’re in the red for over 2 mil yearly.

So you came here to do what ?

1) Make a statement against my post
2) Act like you know something others don’t
3) just bored

It was a fun time watching LSU with Fowles, Augustus, Hightower among others. PMAC was packed a lot.

I think we will always be a gritty team defensively under Nikki but I don't think she recruits well enough to ever go far in the NCAAT. I don't think its unreasonable to expect a top 25 program with occasional runs through the NCAAT. Expecting final fours every year is unreasonable but we should be making runs to sweet sixteens and stuff. Getting bounced every year in the first round isn't acceptable.

I am not sure how far this team will go this year as losing Mitchell is a giant blow to us and the back end of our season. Against the better teams, its going to really show. Hoping the ladies put it together to end the year under tough circumstances.

That's what I was wondering about you.

You start out saying you aren't a huge LSU womens sports fan. Then you go off on a three paragraph rant about something you don't care about.

This is fact jack.

Men's basketball record: 17-6 - STREAK L2 HOME 12-1 AWAY 4-3 NEUTRAL 1-2

Women's basketball record: 16-5 - STREAK W2 HOME 9-1 AWAY 5-4 NEUTRAL 2-0



Quit your fricking whining, weenie.

Actually, his point was very clear; but maybe your comprehension is lacking; so an unbiased party will break it down.

His point was that while he is not big on the women’s sports, he did very much enjoy watching them in their hay day of going to final 4’s routinely and winning the SEC (on this point I very much agree with him). But more importantly, he believes all programs at LSU should be good to elite and having consistent success in their sport (again, I very much agree).

The only odd thing about the post is that yes, the timing is a bit off since Fargas is managing to turn in one of her better seasons in a while. But to that, I would say this - while the football team was also turning in good seasons, that still wasn’t enough because fans understood that it could be way better and should be competing for championships. Because we once saw the women’s program be elite (even if falling a little short), the expectation should be for it to reach that level again, if for any other reason other than we should have that expectation of all our athletic programs.

So your point about the timing of his post is relevant; but as per usual, you had to do it in a snarky jackass way that only you can, which serves to only piss people off rather than get your point across.

Disagree. My information will be stated by others the next time this stupid shite comes up.

I don’t disagree that people will bring up they are having a good year. But it’s not like they are having a great year, and with having just lost their best player, there is a good chance they will falter yet again in the tournament. So my question, as was his, how long do we continue to give Nicki the opportunity to turn it around when she has shown no signs of ever getting this program back to where it was less than 15 years ago?

When your dog pisses on the carpet you rub his/her nose in it. They quit pissing on the carpet - problem solved.

Actually, while this may work for some dogs, studies, science, and dog trainers/behaviorists alike have all said that this is one of the worst things to do and not an overall effective way of solving the issue and training the dog. And that it can actually lead to greater confusion, behavioral problems, and resentment by the dog. Reason? Because unless you catch them in the act, the dog does not understand what it did wrong when you come back and attempt to discipline for something they did minutes or even hours before. So take that weak arse analogy somewhere else.

Just like my thoughts on gymnastics taking 30 years for anyone to even know we had a gymnastics team.

---

Hahahahaha...so we should give Nicki 30 years to make the program relevant again?

That was rhetorical by the way. Hell no we shouldn’t. Because the difference is that before recent times (last 10 years), people didn’t know gymnastics existed because it was never good. Sort of the same way that most don’t pay attention to swimming and diving or even know it exists; and if not for the natatorium being where it is, most probably wouldn’t.

But if you don’t think for a second that many are not criticizing DD now and turning up the heat on her for her failure to get over the hump now that she has shown what the program can be, then you are mistaken.
