NO..that is not the point! People are defending Wade under the guise that others cheated.

Who cares, we are LSU and the LSU coach was on tape admitting his role and knowledge.

Thats why Alleva had to susoend hin. And people in this state think Alleva wasnt justified. Its very disturbing fans here support Wade and hate Alleva.

Will Wade did this..no one else. Coaching ability doesnt matter

Javonte was from Baton Rouge. That’s just as much of a “justifiable connection” as Simmons’ godfather.

It’s funny actually, in a very dark way, that of all our high four and five star recruits under Jones and Wade, it’s the one actually from Baton Rouge that’s *potentially* getting us caught

The “We Are LSU We’re Better than This!!” crowd members are so fricking hypocritical.

If Wade was going 10-27 and not paying players you’d be going “We Are LSU We’re Better Than This shite Product!!!!”

You can’t have it both ways. You can either be shady and compete, or be clean and suck.

Do you want them to admit that they knew about this?

BUT you try not to burn yourself! LSU is REALLY good at burning themselves. It's like a sickness that exists in the Athletic department.

AD/admin on their knees, "PLEASE NCAA DON'T HURT US... LOOK, WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!!! OUCH, shite THAT HURT... SEE????? SEE????? HEY, SEE???"

NCAA: *crickets*

Dickie V: "ZION AND DUKE ARE AWESOME BABY!!!!"

AD/ADMIN: "HELLO? IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO US THIS WEEK?"

LSU FANS: "SON OF A CLUSTER F&^%"

NCAA: "UH, what's this racketeering thing about?"

LSU FANS:

HELL NO!!! They wait for all of the evidence beyond a LEAKED phone record that could've been altered to make it worse than it was? Not saying it was altered, but there is a lack of actual evidence. The regular season can't be changed. All of this may blow over, especially in the light of the racketeering crap and other schools/athletes involved. You handle WW's sloppiness after the season and give him an assistant who can be the fall guy that isn't associated with LSU!!!

If you play ball, PLAY!!! Don't throw YOUR guys under the bus before the bus starts moving!!!

Grow up. Everyone knows he cheated. But knowing something and proving it are two different things. It needs to be proven that he cheated before he can be punished for it.

Acting on the assumption that the university and athletic department actually knew/know nothing about all of this (lol), why not wait until after the trial then "gather facts" and cooperate with any subsequent investigation? Answer - we have spineless leadership. There was also no reason to make the "meeting" stuff public, other than an attempt to drive a wedge between LSU and Wade.

But protests? Protests are meant for injustices. It was dumb to suspend Wade and Smart, but it wasn’t an injustice. Wade clearly paid for the kid to come to LSU.


I agree. Protesting this is embarrassing.

because if it comes out in the end that LSU will face penalty, its a terrible look that you continued to let the guy on an FBI wiretap coach your team when it was public knowledge. And down the line could help them as far as the severity of the penalties.

Its unpopular and it sucks but this is a decision that a leader should make.

then guess what? stop demanding answers. You either want to know, or you dont.

LSU had no issue letting Wade continue to coach and recruit after the first leak came out last year. Think about it.

Here's some news for you Hoss. In a world where the NCAA will be looking for an easy kill, and Duke, UK, KU, etc are telling the NCAA to get lost while LSU is raising its hand screaming "guilty! guilty! guilty!", it ain't a good look either.
