re: T-Rant has been pretty comical lately.

Most of the posters on this site are kids, it's obvious. They want to make impulsive decisions and they think that they will pan out without any tough times lol. Then, once that doesn't work out for them after 1 season the way they would like, they will want to make another impulsive and stupid decision...etc. It really is funny at times, but it gets really annoying too.

Should I post the definition again, or will that one time suffice?

They want to make impulsive decisions

Like hiring Orgeron the day after Herman asked for more money? That kind of impulsive decision? I think most of the posters calling for Orgeron's head were staunchly against that impulsive decision and wanted a full coaching search.

It's your show, buddy.

Lately???

Yeah, but it's true.

I would tell them there was a 45 year span between 2003 and the previous title- but I don't want to cause another Jonestown (Google it, if needed). :rimshot:

Then what's the point of coming on here and bitching about CEO every day?

There's not. I come here to try to get the news of the day. Instead, I see the same recycled threads and arguments and bitching. This board hasn't changed in months. Kind of a shame that I have to go to the secrant to attempt to have a civilized discussion. But the precedent established by the children on this board has dictated that if you aren't screaming and crying then you will get downvoted and/or are an O apologist. I was against the Orgeron hire, am still against the hire, but, like you said, also know there's nothing I can do about the fact he will be the head coach come September. So what would be a better use of my time? Bitching day after day after day, or maybe find something else to do until football season and then hope things work out. If they do work out great. If they don't work out, he'll be fired. A lot of people would probably serve themselves well if they took a break. But you're 100% right. This board has become an embarrassment. I live in Nashville. I can assure you LSU is not viewed as an embarrassment outside of Louisiana.

Recruiting doesn't have a lot to do with being taken seriously vs convincing the parents/guardians that their kid is in good hands and letting the kid know that this is the best place to develop his skills. Also, have to be EXTREMELY hospitable (I.e. fake laughs, eating badly cooked food, etc.) Don't know if Aranda is quite cut for this yet.

As a parent if my kid was highly touted I don't know that fake laughs would suffice. I would prefer a straight shooter with obvious intelligence and the coaching wits to teach my son. Being an introvert myself I've learned the skills that don't necessarily come natural to me. You can learn small talk but you can't fix stupid.
Not knowing if Aranda is cut out for small talk is 1000 times less of a gamble than giving the head job to a proven loser.

Well you see, a discussion about LSU Athletics on the rant is truly a far cry from an actual adult discussion. Over the past years I’ve learned this and that’s why I visit this page for entertainment purposes only.
