I dont give a shite that he cheated. When i saw that class i figured something was up.


His big mistake was being the one orchestrating the deal, and not say, Tasmin Mitchell or someone like that.

Because he's on tape,and nothing has been done that can't be changed.

There's nothing the LSU Athletic department can do that will be the right move. People will bitch regardless.

I'm also old enough to know this stuff comes and goes, it's worthless to be angry until it's resolved.

Not suspending Wade probably has a different reaction than what's going on now.

Do you have any opinions aboaut the tape itself Roger? I agree it sounds awful, but if it was leaked to cause maximum damage, we don’t know how the damaging leaked sound bite might compare to what’s on the tape in its entirety. I can definitely speculate he’s referring to paying Smart cash, but he very well might have clarified what he was talking about 30 seconds later and the public would never know since only the most damaging portions of the call were leaked.

I am not fuming with rage.
The picture is incomplete and we need more evidence.
BUT, i am prepared to be outraged at Will Wade, who, by preliminary appearances has placed the entire program at risk and hurt the reputation of the University.
Many here apparently do not care about that.

Administration caves in to a media report from a clickbait columnist. None of us have ever seen LSU win a national title in Basketball and here we are we are watching our own Administration try to prevent it from happening.


So what was the administration supposed to do? I'm not trolling but legitimately curious?

Wade can't talk to them to address the transcripts.

Smart was mentioned by name in the call as the ALLEGED recipient of the "big arse offer".

In a perfect world, what was the appropriate response?

Ignore the media reports that include transcripts of their coach making vague references to "offers"?

Pretend nothing has happened and that everything Wade said in the transcripts is a misunderstanding? Remember Wade hasn't explained himself -- under recommendation of his legal team.

So what should the admin have done?

Please don't take this as any allegiance to Alexander and Alleva... I think they have proven in many instances to be out of touch. But in this particular case -- with what has been leaked --- what was the appropriate course of action?

Not suspend our coach because Dick Vitale says so.

Release a statement saying that your coach has stated he has never done business with the man and you investigate more after the season

Well I am. I’ve broken two windows, punched a hole in a wall, flipped off multiple people while driving and I kicked my dog. I’m fricking pissed.

As soon as I get really mad about this whole thing, I picture Cpt Bengal and Lester Earl watching Caillou together and laugh.

The outrage here definitely parallels the "dindu nuffin" defense for friends and family.
