re: One thing that the McMen cannot deny is that excitement around the program is non existent

The problem is you are dealing with children on this site. If you mention Bruce Pearl they'll say " well he didn't have the transfer portal then" but the truth is he was an established nationally known coach and it STILL took him 4 years. Then they bring up Mizzou coach. Oh he's so great he hasn't won an SEC game this year. Last year we never even thought we had a chance to win an SEC game. This year we are in just about every game we play and had a chance to win 3 other SEC games including 2 on the road against good teams. But the children on here refuse to look at that as improvement. They want it now like the spoiled girl on Willy Wonka. And if they don't get it they cry and bitch every week. It's really hilarious. I'm not saying Mcmahon is a great coach or a great recruiter. What I am saying is I'm giving him the same opportunity I have given every coach that LSU has ever hired over the past 50 years. I don't care if there is transfer portal or NIL. He gets a few years to show he can do the job and if he doesn't then they can replace him but as if any known successful coach was going to come here after Wade and the possible sanctions? You have to be a world class idiot to believe that.

Delusional McNugget huggers have to support their man no matter what the results show.

Why do you turn everything into an us vs them? It's as though you need victories in your life and you'll take them by proxy because you can't earn them on your own.

Who in here is bringing up Will Wade? Oh, right.
The OP typed started an entire thread with Wade's dick in his mouth.

I have excitement foe the program but as a realist, I also was planning for it to be a couple years before Men's basketball is back. I'm going to start really paying attention next year.
Oh, you had realistic expectations!?! fricking liberal.

Posters who expect instant success and pine for a former coach aren't adults, much less LSU fans.
What ever gave you the idea that LSU Fans act like adults.
NECK is adult behavior?

There is growing interest as witnessed by the 15 threads after every game. It will continue to grow as the team improves, which is clear to everyone with eyes that aren't covered with tears.
Does the home attendance reflect the an increased interest in the product?

The Wade fanbois are holding back the program

The issue is that we have 2 extremes that won't give the other side an inch.
Of the two 'extremes' that you mention, the one that loves Wade is much louder than anyone defending McMahon.

There are plenty of fans in the middle that loved Will Wade but also want McMahon to succeed.
That's me and I wish those still hanging on to Will Wade would just let it go already. I would be happy to have Wade here, but he isn't. That is the past and sometimes this board is like hanging out with that pathetic buddy that can't fricking get over an ex.

The average attendance throughout Wade’s tenure and McMahon’s 1st 2 years are almost identical.

Thats not true. They are both loud af. You just aren't bothered by the McMahon supporters so you don't hear it as much. Both sides bother me so I hear and see them loud and clear.

Right cuz everyone demanding O get fired prior to 2019 held the football program back from having the greatest team of all time in 2019. I hate to break it to you but fans don't actually impact shite. Wins and losses are all that matter. If McMahon had a 20+ win team out on the court, he would have a full arena and no one would even mention Will Wade. He doesn't so the place is empty and people want a winner.

I've been called every name in the book by some posters recently without any regard to the actual truth. Doesn't matter that I have been an LSU Basketball since I was a kid and started watching Dale coached teams in the late 70s and forever since.
Doesn't matter I watched through "Draconian Sanctions" and some posters know my dislike of John Brady at the time and the roller coaster.
Doesn't matter I thought Trent was actually a good hire and saw that end terribly. Doesn't matter CJJ was a terrible hire and I'm still rooting game in and game out. The Ben Simmons year here was priceless.
I didn't know Wade more than he coached at VCU, after Anthony Grant and Shaka Smart.
Point being, apparently I'm a Wade nut hugger for the 80 IQ assholes that have a much larger agenda than I do. I'm also gay with other other posters because I agree with their takes at times.

Literally no one here has compared LSU to Kentucky or Duke, or held LSU to that standard
But you told me:
quote:
UConn signed two additional players beyond their 1 top 100 guy. Villanova signed another player in addition to their two top 100 guys. Same for Baylor and Houston.
So instead you're holding them to the standard of 4 programs who have all had more success in the past 5 years then both Duke and UK. But you knew that already
You completely missed the point dude. He is not saying that LSU is as good of a program as UConn or Villanova. He is saying that those teams aren't wildly out recruiting us, they are getting MUCH better results with similarly ranked recruits.

BUT the NCAA in all their wisdom said that NC should not be put on probation because OTHER students were able to sign up for that imaginary class...thus the BB players were given no special treatment.
That is the NCAA following its own rules. Athletes can take any class with any grading criteria so long as it is available to the general student body.
quote:
That was ludicrous!
In one respect it certainly was. But the rules did not account for a class you could sign up for and get an A simply for signing up that was offered to all students.
quote:
Here is the proper ruling. ALL the "students" involved, players and non-players, get expelled!
The NCAA has no control over what the University does in these situations. And only the University can expel students, the NCAA can only rule on a student's eligibility. Under the rules at the time, that was perfectly legal. And why should any student get expelled for taking a class offered by the University? The students didn't create or offer the class, the University did. Maybe the real solution was to fire the people who orchestrated that whole situation.
