re: PREVIEW: LSU vs Iowa State 3/18 6:20pm TBS Milwaukee

Just realized the regional is in Chicago

Might have to go up if we get there

When the season ends, that will be the start of lets get rid of Beth. You got to have someone to bitch about.

Real excited about this game. I expect tigers to own this matchup from start to finish. 5 or 6 minutes in they don’t render the lead.

Surprised there aren’t many threads about this game. Do people not much care anymore? I’m kind of stoked to see how we do and see how motivated the players are

It is a bittersweet feeling. On the one hand you are excited for the tournament. On the other, it is difficult to have a lot of hope for success when the AD pulled the rug out from under the team with the ulterior motive of trying to ensure limited success and prevent favor being curried for the HC he was eventually going to fire. It is even more bittersweet knowing that with a loss the entire program will be torn down to the studs and the period of KNOWING your team will be competing in March will come to an end.

Ignorance would have been bliss for the fanbase should Wade still be coaching. We wouldn't have known Woodward was going to fire him immediately after LSU's tournament run ended. So there would be a ton of excitement today. Now, it just feels like the program is sitting in the electric chair with Woodward waiting for the go ahead to flip the lever.

We are going to have a front row seat in seeing woodward try to build the basketball program. I have awful reservations about it. The dude got frustrated at Wade asking for better facilities constantly.

The more time that passes the more we see the weakness or the flaws in his personality. Dude didn't have the balls to fire Nikki Caldwell, fired Wade over the phone, didn't tell the team about firing Wade, let Orgeron punk his arse and mention the buyout 3 times when woodward "fired" him, made awkward jokes about him and O being besties and how they will still fish together.

Like bro. Just fricking come out and stop being a bitch and get to the point. There was no need for the "we are exhausted by the negativity" press release. It shows a weak leader. Just fricking say "We thank Coach Wade but his contract states that Level 1 NOAs would lead to firing with cause even without LSU accepting responsibility." Instead we get the weak bullshite "exhausted of negativity."

It is when I jumped off the woodward boat officially. I was pissed at firing Wade but holy frick that statement has me incredibly worried for the future of this program.

Yep depending on sanctions at least Wade would have left the program with good bones if a coach can salvage it.


That is why I think Scotty needs to get the hire in as soon as possible. Work on keeping Murray/Miller and then add a few transfers to be competitive next year.

Right? What negativity ? Outside of a handful of Rantards the only “negativity” came from the journalists who threw the same shite against the wall for THREE YEARS before anything of substance emerged. Scott was all for letting O see out the last 6 weeks of the regular season as attrition continued to mount but couldn’t wait to get rid of Wade before the tournament. Shallow.

Where’s everyone watching the game?

What time would that match-up vs. Wisky be ?
