re: LSU basketball raised 2.5 million dollars…

I’m so tired of supper club

When was it?

This past Monday night.

Did Mcboring raise that much in 4 years

That was always my issue with those who brought up the lack of funding for CMM. He was complicit in that. He was not interested, he just wanted to coach. Maybe at some schools for basketball the head coach can get away with that......not here.

So did LSU suddenly get a whole new batch of wealthy people who like basketball?

Did the Supper Club seafood tower loosen the pockets of otherwise stubborn boosters that were otherwise locked at the former staff's recruiting dinners at the Union cafeteria?

Was the February 2025 report just BS propaganda pushed by the former AD to justify keeping the worst LSU basketball coach in 50+ years?

Or maybe the former HC was a bad coach and even worse fundraiser whose abysmal record reflected that, as opposed to an "avalanche of unavoidable, unfortunate, events that were simply too much to overcome"?

One way to look at this is that it it the job of the AD to get the big money guys on board with any new hire. Sounds like Scotty had a long list of people that kept $ in their pockets while MM was the coach. And, yes, it helps to have a coach that is 100% on board with putting together the entire team of help it takes to run a successful program.

The AD may do some work, but it is the HC who is the primary fundraiser (outside of football, which kind of has an institutional donor base). The HC is the guy who, mostly, builds the relationships. For better or worse, fundraising is now more important than ever. Wade knew the importance of fundraising in his first stint and he knows it now. That's also why Johnny Jones is on the staff. He still has a lot of LSU/LA connections.

McMahon wanted nothing to do with fundraising. He just wanted to coach. That's fine if (a) you are a great coach and (b) it's 2019 at Murray State. Unfortunately, it was neither in his time at LSU.

Wade has his shortcomings as a coach. Most notably, his teams are almost always notoriously imbalanced (usually in favor of offense)...which has put a cap on the amount of success his teams can have. But the guy knows you MUST have money to pay the great players and he will shake the trees to get it. Say what you want about him, but he's able to build good relationships with influential people in Louisiana. Look no further than the fact both the former LSU President and AD were ousted, in part, because they rejected efforts to get Wade back to LSU

That's the opposite of proof.

That is simultaneously disgusting and hilarious.

Ruth's and Doe's are both better. It's too pretentious for me. I never found a window. The sign is even hard to find. Brown on black or black on brown or something. I guess it's so special you are supposed to KNOW how to get there.

Will Wade was great. He's funny and will say anything in public it seems. Rousse seems to love him..
