re: Mad Dog Russo says LSU is a “cesspool”

This wasn't a situation where Wade was fired because he was diddling a member of the gymnastics team, or covering up a gang rape by his starting PG and SF

Good point alt we have guys like Pitino arranging orgies for recruits, slamming women not his wife in the back rooms of restaurants and then you have the current Florida coach sending dick pics and stalking co-eds all over Gainesville but all of a sudden that goes away ($$$$) - and our guys is the villain. Such hypocrisy in the outrage.

He’s a fkg slimy Yankee that has made his money from crushing athletes and Coaches. He is the definition of talk radio sleeze, coming in at 5’1” 87lbs wino, the more he talks the more he draws fans together of the organization he melts against.
We may even get more fans. You notice Paul EARS has rotated his stance a little from Kiffin lately.

It was always the people that knew full well how the college basketball "sausage was made" yet feigned outrage when there was a coach talking about "offers". My God, Cal got in trouble at both UMass and Memphis. He is a Pittsburgh guy with like Sonny Vaccaro, who essentially started the AAU model as we know it today (players/team funded by shoe companies and the leagues serving as a college basketball talent marketplace). Yet, we are going to pretend Will Wade is the biggest villain in college basketball?

I really hope you aren't as stupid as your posts make you sound. How do you successfully deal with life when you have no clue how things work?

Is Pitino a flawed character? Calipari? How about Kelvin Sampson? ANY coach that is successful in the 2 major college sports?

NONE of these dudes are choir boys. They're in a highly competitive, CUTTHROAT business.

The Matt McMahon's of the world (BLESS HIS HEART), aren't cut out to be successful in this environment, and that's how you end up with 17-55 in SEC play.


You're mistaking this for Saturday morning rec ball the kids play with their parents cheering them on.

My GOD!! Now Wade is on their level? LOlololol

You people are completely retards

Let me get this straight, now that we got BK out, LSU now WANTS lower character?

Yes, MM had to go

Mad Dog Russo I can't remember, did he come on before or after the Frazier Craine show?

I believe that was Bull Dog.Briscoe



And Bull Dog was much better than Mad Dog.

A real jerk. I even think Stephen Smith thinks he’s an idiot.

This is the annoying part, the faux outrage is from people that have long covered the sport and know damn well about the dark under belly of the sport acting like will Wade was this anarchist in a sport full of saints. We know you know better so your opinion on the matter shows a blatant bias, especially when guys like Forde are cheerleaders for someone like Rick Pitino

If you want to be the moral compass of the sport, go for it but have some self respect and call it evenly

I'm just trying to figure out where the outrage lies:

That Wade left NC State after just one season? I don't recall the same outrage when Devires did it last year, or Brad Underwood did it in 2017

That LSU put NC State in a bind by forcing them into a late coaching search? What rule requires LSU to operate on a timeline convenient to NC State. I don't seem to recall people being mad at Maryland when they hired Buzz Williams from A&M last year on April 1st...forcing A&M into a late coaching search. UNC, unless they hire Donovan, is likely going to do the same to another school. Will there be outrage?

That LSU hired a coach it previously fired? Why would anyone outside of LSU care about that? Clearly LSU is not worried that Wade would slip up again. And why would they be? LSU WANTS a coach who's good at raising money and making "strong arse offers." EVERY SCHOOL should want that now.

That LSU poached another coach from another power conf. school (like Kiffin)? Is there a rule that LSU needs to consider the feelings of places like NC State and Ole Miss in the hyper competitive landscape of college sports?

That "LSU" is committing an obscene amount of money to fire/hire coaches and recruit players? Again, why should anyone outside of LSU fans care? It's not like the money is coming from the university general fund. It's coming from wealthy people who have free will on how they choose to spend their money.

LSU is not even paying Wade a huge salary (relatively speaking). They are paying him slightly more than Lamont Paris (South Carolina)

No Jennifer, I'm not saying Wade has accomplished what those coaches have, but we sure as hell can check back in 25 years (if we're around), when it will be a FAIR comparison.

Of course short bus riders like yourself don't realize it isn't fair to compare Wade who has coached 12 years, to the ones you're laughing about me mentioning when they've all coached 30+.

In any event, even the SUCCESSFUL coaches Wade was coaching against during his first LSU tenure were paying players.

You ABSOLUTELY CANNOT win and run a clean program.

I hope for your sake you're just being an intentionally obtuse jackass, and you aren't really as naive and ignorant as your posts make you out to be.
