re: New stuff from Will Wade wiretap

Puck you fussy- every top recruiting school in football and men's basketball is cheating like a moflo, and that includes coach O the great (who I LOVE now because he has shown he can win it). This ain't mayberry anymore, dipshit.

I read the article so y’all don’t have too. Notable parts:

This is added to the OP

I watched an advance copy of the movie this week.

The audio—some of which was not entered into federal court and has never been heard before—will provide pertinent, first-hand information for NCAA investigators working to finalize cases involving LSU and Arizona. Much of that information comes from the mouths of the coaches themselves. That’s a significant development. Then it will be up to LSU and Arizona to decide how they want to justify the continued employment of Wade and Miller.

“Who does a majority of the talking in the calls? It’s not Christian. The coaches are asking him for help, talking about who they could make offers to.”

This film is the first time Dawkins has been interviewed about the scandal. He is cocksure, unvarnished, unafraid and compelling on camera. He also says Wade and Miller are flat-out lying about not paying their basketball players, or doing business with him.

Dawkins on Wade: “Just the audacity, you’ve got to take your hat off to him, bro. … Will Wade is definitely a f------ gangster for what he did.”

It should land especially heavily in Baton Rouge, where Wade has evaded direct questions about what he says on tape for more than a year. When he met the media at Southeastern Conference spring meetings in late May 2019, the questions about the “strong-arse offer” tape were met with a weak-arse response: ”I have not heard the recording, so I don’t know. I don’t think any of us have heard the recordings.”

Now we’ve heard the recordings. Among the coach’s comments: “I was thinking last night on this Smart thing. I’ll be honest with you, I’m f------ tired of dealing with the thing. Like I’m just f------ sick of dealing with the s---. “I went to him with a f------ strong-arse offer about a month ago. F------ strong. But the problem was, I know why he didn’t take it now, because it was it was f------ tilted toward the family a little bit. But I mean, it was a f------ hell of a f------ offer. Hell of an offer. Especially for a kid who is going to be a two- or three-year kid. I’ve made deals for a lot of players who are as good as him that were f------ a lot simpler than this.”

Great.
Do you "love" Louisiana State University?
Do you "love" what our university stands for?
Do you care about the reputation of our university (including the faculty, staff, and students)?
Why....Why.....Why would you want what HAS/IS happening to the Houston Astros, happen to LSU?
What is a "trophy" worth if you cheated.......nothing.

Please go eat a bat in Wuhan, you fricking chode.

Our idiot fanbase doesn’t even bother to game out the logistics and practicality of their own accusations. They’re so addicted to the drama and scandal the facts become irrelevant in servitude to the narrative. It’s no wonder why so many fantasies and made up stories thrive and become accepted as fact here.

So your theory is that Will Wade

No, I don't have a theory. However, there are MANY people who know a lot more than you and me about this crap who are convinced that WW was paying players.
We have not seen the HBO special yet. So I cannot conclude anything about the intentions of HBO.

ou guys can’t help yourselves from feeding your own demise.

That can possibly go both ways.....It is possible that blindly defending unethical behavior is feeding the demise of the program.

Yes

You keep using buzz statements like this without actually defining anything.

What does LSU stand for exactly? How does Will Wade impact that compared to other great universities? Let’s use UNC, Miami, USC, and Duke for comparison proposes

Of course. As someone who now lives across the country, it is as good as it ever gets. How is Wade hurting that? Do you think It’ll hurt you in a job interview?

Another terrible analogy. But I’ll already trade the memories Wade has brought for any punishment brought our way for doing what CLEARLY is a common practice (if guilty) among other fine institutions like UNC (much, much, much worse than these allegations).


You’re an embarrassment to not only LSU but to the state of Louisiana. Your repeated BS on this is clearly agenda driven. Instead of supporting the rebuild of LSU basketball and adding to the excitement, you’re pathetically trying to divide and tear down what was a dead program just a few years ago while attempting to use a false moral high ground over any actual substance.

As a Tiger living 1300 miles away, I’m grateful to Wade for bringing other Tiger fans and their friends together for something other than football games. Bye

And now we have this fallacy rearing it’s ugly head. Bravo
