PISS on Alleva. Wade's side of the story needs to be heard.

I'm not the biggest Alleva fan in the world,but what the heck is wrong with what he said?

Besides being a complete pushover, the other primary knock on Alleva is that he is out of touch with the fanbase. And right here, when asked directly to try relate to the fanbase his response is "nope, I'm right and they're wrong".

How hard would it have been to answer that with "we hear you and we're trying to get to the bottom of the situation so LSU can have the best team in the nation"?

Most of the complainers haven't sniffed:

1) Middle management
2) Management of anything more than shift manager at Taco Bell
3) A college degree
4) Business success
5) A leadership role in anything

What do you morons expect him to say? LSU is an educational institution first, & winning sports teams follow that. I hate when LSU loses, especially football games. I carry those loses for at least a week or until the next game. We need to remember that LSU exist's to prepare kids for their future life. GET REAL PEOPLE!

The spineless coward is still clueless as to why he is despised. He thinks THIS is the ONLY reason why we hate him. He is such an idiot.

“ and, of course, I’m going to get the blame”

Well, you are the director of LSU athletics and Wade’s direct boss and he’s not being allowed to coach currently.

If you don’t agree with decision to suspend him, perhaps you should have noted your disapproval publicly at some time in this process. If you did agree, then yes, you’re going to catch the blame. Part of being a boss is to stand up for those you supervise if you think they are being suspended unfairly. I haven’t seen you do that. So, if you are part of making the decision, say you made the decision.

Just like how yahoo presented the Will Wade quotes in the way that best fit their narrative.

Hey Joe. How'd that work out the last time you took the word of a stripper?

I'm surprised that Mike Pressler(Duke Lacrosse Coach) didn't track him down and whoop his arse.

No it doesnt


The only way we get out of this is if in some miracle their is no more wiretaps that have wade clearly making an illegal offer. We are like 1 milimeter from that already


There is no side of the story I can realistically see that clears Wade, only the hope that the story ends

It baffles me that people can't seem to ever admit when someone they don't like occasionally does something right (or at least not wrong) in a specific case.
