A guy who’s posted nearly 5k times on an internet message board in 8 months is calling other people losers and betas

As a man that has been in leadership positions for a very long time, I understand that things are not always as they appear. I am NOT a MM fan, but I also realize that LSU has not supported him the way other SEC teams have supported their coach. He has been successful before, in the NCAA tourney and I believe is a good x and o coach. Unfortunately today's game is about jimmy and joe. I put myself in his shoes, and I would be pissed that I haven't gotten the support in terms of NIL. I don't care what you say, if you are getting outspent 4-1 on NIL by almost the entire conference, John Wooden isn't winning. If MM was fired tomorrow I wouldn't care. Today's game is about $$...which sucks. Yes, I'm an old man 58, but I also have a brain to be objective and understand there is ALWAYS more than meets the eye. I haven't seen any poster on here that is a staunch MM defender, but rather objectively realizes that he hasn't been playing on an even playing field. Now, come on back with your bs response, followed by madpunk saying I, or anyone that disagrees, just doesn't understand basketball. I don't live close anymore, but I used to have season tickets from the late 80s for about 10 years, so I got to experience the fun years. You guys worship a guy that has never coached in a sweet 16 game (I could be wrong not looking it up). Have a good day, I have work to do.

I would think a leader such as yourself would be alarmed at the leadership problems surrounding the LSU men’s basketball program. Surely a leader like yourself would understand this program has more problems than NIL. Interesting alpha take.

I would venture to say that between football and basketball, its clear scott and our athletic dept in general wayyyyy under estimated the impact of NIL. They thought placing an ad in times square to show they were embracing it was enough.

Meanwhile, scott was still operating under the old ways of doing things, allocating most of the money to coaching salaries and facilities. By the time we realized the ground had shifted under us we were wayyyy behind in getting our collectives going.

Had we understood the shift in dynamics between the portal and paying players, you don't give an unproven coach like MM 7 fricking years, even had the NCAA slammed us that's just stupid. The mid major coach flop rate is pretty high, if MM balked then move onto the next, nothing on his resume screamed we needed to be aggressive.

Scott and LSU are willing to take the heat with this NIL bullshite, but its really a collection of failures that have us stuck in this position they should admit to.

I literally looked up to God today and said thank you that my son did not turn out like these little sky screaming pussies, that are entitled, zero work ethic, lazy, beta/soy boys that are in fact straight up low iq pussies. There isn't a single alpha male that would spend all day every single day crying about the same fricking shite....that just isn't happening.

“I think it’s very realistic,” McMahon said when asked if he could be in the NCAA Tournament next season.

What a timid, weak response. I remember in Wade’s introductory press conference he flat out said that he was looking to add to our Final Four appearances number. That was very encouraging to hear at the time and we were well on our way to that imo.

This “I think it’s very realistic” answer inspires no one. But hey, McMahon is such an ace recruiter right? Since he has more money now, I expect him to land Donovan Dent now. Good luck, Matt!

No excuse not to be in the tournament if we buy a team for next season.

We have bought a team the last two years and they weren't good. It's not like this nil is new
