Cook had moments last year. So did Wright. Though it is still very early, I'm becoming more confident in saying that if the half-court offense starts to bog down simply getting the ball in Miller's hands is the play.

Agreed, V Miller is a playmaker and much better than I expected.

admit to being doubtful about coach Mac but I never shite all over him and I’ve been very vocal on how much I think he’s improved

Then you shouldn’t take any of this chatter personally. There are plenty who did & countless “HA! Where are the McMen now?” first half threads that aged poorly.

What last year’s squad was able to accomplish despite its roster deficiencies & a straight up miss at PG is impressive. The narrative shifted from he can’t coach to he is a good coach who can’t recruit (in spite of the fact the class you see on the court this year was brewing throughout that time).

It’s been fun watching this play out.

There have been a significant portion of posters who saw the record & hated on McMahon out of pure spite over what happened to WW + because it was the cool thing to do.

---

No they didn't. You assholes also took anyone not sucking CMM's dick as an insult. A good portion of the fanbase was critical because year 1 was a disaster and year 2 started off pretty rocky. When he beat SC and Kentucky, the vast majority of fans came around and saw that he could actually do the job. People wanting a winning product doesn't mean they are being critical because its cool.

everyone who held the line & stanned McMahon during that period deserves a year of “I told you so” + everyone who tuned out & talked shite deserves a year of eating crow.

No you don't. The "Stans" were equally as annoying as the WW crew last season and yall have somehow become WORSE. For some reason CMM became the only coach on campus that couldn't be criticized despite having the least amount of success. People were less defensive of Jay Johnson criticism last year and he was coming off a Natty. Its impossible to talk about our basketball team because you fruit cakes try to turn every thread into a WW bashing session. Not only that, you so called "CMM supporters" would bash anyone that said we expected to make the tournament in year 3 because yall didn't have any faith in your guy to get that job done. I have never seen a group of fanboys believe in their guy less than yall.

In short, STFU about WW. He was a good coach while he was here but now CMM is the guy in charge. Talk about him. Talk about his program. Stop ruining every thread with your insecurities abut Will Wade.

Find a post where I mention Will Wade outside of explicitly saying “I haven’t mentioned Will Wade”.

Bro, you are delusional. People were calling for him to be fired midseason last year. I repeat — we could’ve justified a McNeese board last basketball season.

Sorry you’re upset about the egg on your face. You know this thread has become a cesspool when basiletiger is getting upvoted in a basketball thread — after a great win all this dude can say in the game thread is “NIT bound again!” 100 different ways.

Now you STFU :)

Damn, you really are defensive of WW aren't you? Posters last year wanted MM canned the whole year yet those of us who supported the coach and team were annoying? Sorry for celebrating that the coach got us back to .500 in conference and pulled in some solid recruits, including flipping Vyctorius from Oregon. Real annoying stuff.

But I guess you deserve points for not being one of the many posters who claimed that McMahon rebuilding a program was old fashioned thinking and that a decent coach could come in and wave a magic wand and build a top team from nothing with an NOA hanging over his head.

Seriously, if you don't see why some posters want to rub it in a little this season, then I guess you are a secret Wade nut hugger in denial. Especially if you feel the need to respond to every post calling true fans assholes and the like.

This idea that you have to champion for one and hate the other is stupid.

I agree and never suggested otherwise. You’re strawmanning me to argue an entirely different point. For the record I fckn loved Wade at LSU.

quote:

---

I am glad he got it turned around but don't act like things were going smoothly at that point. People want every coach at LSU fired every time they lose. I'm not saying thats a good thing about our fanbase but don't act like thats something that was unique to CMM.

---

This is the point. There are people who understand the scenario he stepped into & watch all the games / follow the program closely. None of those people are surprised by this year’s team — we will likely be even better next year.

Then there are people who decided the guy was shite because we had a bad first season. It may be his first P5 job, but it is not this guy’s first rodeo.

People ignored injuries and external circumstance in year 0, ignored winning games we had no business winning last year, ignored the buzz on the recruiting trail last year, and continue to ignore all the observable signs of good coaching & a healthy upward trending program.

I’m not saying you’re doing this, but I am saying that people stanning McMahon weren’t just doing it for the hell of it.

Optimistic but waiting for SEC games to start.
