I feel bad saying this but I think you have mild dementia which manifests itself as super rudeness. maybe a bit of sundowning as well where you brain tires out and you are frustrated so you namecall. you cant seem to focus on the issue (which is the question of whether McMahon had the same level of funding as SEC rivals) and you just repeat everyone is a troll or liar or whatever.

Again more troll shite. I’ve called it out the entire thread. You truly are the most empty and low of the mcmen. A complete zero

Guys, we're fixing to get the truth serum, it starts Saturday. I have tried to support Mac, but this year is do or die. Felt the same way about Kelly this year. The Texas Tech game gave me a bad feeling but Tech is good and we shot badly. Texas A&M will give us another good indicator. They're not world beaters so if we got something we should hang in. If we don't, not a good look moving forward.

But the truth is all of this will take care of itself but we know the first time LSU loses an SEC game the negatigers will come out of the woodwork to tell us how much mcmahon sucks and how much we suck for supporting him and if they win they will come out and tell us how the team they beat isn't really any good. So predictable. How about enjoy watching one of the best PG to play at LSU in a long time and hope that he finally has some SEC caliber players. And if he loses then he'll be fired. Aint that complicated.


1) He does suck. That has been proven by a 14-40 SEC record

2) Nobody is rooting for him to fail. I think many are upset that he was allowed to come back given the results of the past 3 seasons. I would love nothing more than to go watch them play somewhere in the first round of the tournament

3) Regardless of the amount of NIL spending he has had over the past 3 seasons, LSU has finished no worse than 8th in the SEC in composite recruiting/transfer classes since he has been here. Considering where they have finished in the league during that time, that guarantees 1 of 2 (or both) things to be true. Either he isn't a very good X's and O's coach or he is terrible at evaluating talent. Both those traits are required to be a good basketball coach.

It’s not even about McMahon. So far the record is the record, if you follow basketball you understand what he is and isn’t. It’s not a personal attack it’s simply recognizing that his path to success is more narrow because of his style. That doesn’t mean hate or anything else, it’s just a reality. What guys like that poster do is create fantastical narratives to deflect all responsibility from him. They setup a framing where he receives all the credit and none of the blame which is something we’ve never seen at LSU before. They’ll try to tear down any previous success any former LSU coach has had, we even had one of them claiming Shaq sucked a couple weeks back. Mostly that’s the argument you’ll see, the longtime fans who are judging him as we’d judge any coach vs this cult who are trying to manipulate standards and history solely for one guy.

This is where I'm at. I want McMahon to be successful because that means LSU is successful, but it should be tournament or bust this year. In year 2 Dusty May took Michigan from a dumpster fire to #1.

There are zero people who disagree with this. The only people who disagree are a few haters who are crawfishing towards needing to see 2nd weekend in the tourney.

I look at this team and I want to hope we can surprise some folks but the realist in me says it will be tough sledding. The key at this point is inside scoring, inside defense and rebounding. Three point shooting is not going to win many games for us as we only hit a third of those attempts. Nwoko and Sutton are going to have a lot on their shoulders. Tamba has proven to be a good all around player but he has to take on more of the offense when they are doubling McKinnon and Nwoko.
We can't allow so many offensive rebounds and putbacks and need more of those ourselves. Nwoko is key and has to stay out of foul trouble. Bench has proven to be ineffective and the starters will probably be very tired toward the end of the season. I still think we have the talent to pull some upsets but can't afford to lose any games we are favored in.

As I recall MK and alt based their reasoning on LSU funding NIL on the composite rankings of our recruiting classes. The logic was good recruiting rankings = good NIL funding.

Their oversimplification ignores:
1. The lack of retention from decent recruiting classes
2. Most were in their last year of eligibility after the 1st year. Clearly multiple years of eligibility cost more.
3. Most overall rankings are biased towards recruiting classes with larger numbers of players. Especially in our 1st year, the number of transfers were pretty high, and we still had 4 hs recruits.

I am sure MK will call me a liar (he calls everyone that). Let's see if he offers a rebuttal. Alt will write a novella.

judging him as we’d judge any coach
This is my take. I’m not an MBB fan because I see results? Because I know facts?

I’m told to ignore everything. And then told to just to accept failure. No coach has ever had this amount of leeway.

But I’ll watch 30+ games this year, like I do every season. But I’m the a-hole.

And LE will have 300k posts and say I only have MBB fandom and my IQ challenges.

Wrong. The Pirate Prince said that another year might be in the cards for McMahon if we are a bubble team. Complete beta mentality.

You’re told those things because they can’t make arguments to support the things they say. Ad hominem attacks are all they have

I told these fellas multiple times that NIL money and rankings are not the same but they don't seem to be inclined to make a useful counterpoint.

players like dji bailey and Trae Hannibal were just not that good, seems plausible they were all LSU could afford, and coach tried to build a team from cheap misfits with some talents but huge deficiencies. like Billy beane in moneyball.

also the class rank is an aggregate score but maybe an ideal team is built by buying 2 expensive players and 4 cheapos, which might not add up to a good rank by the rating standards.

also those ranks are for incoming players only not team as a whole. if you lose more and need more, you will sign more, which isn't necessarily great but could make your rank better.
