Yes, one way to look at it. Sort of that 'big fish in a small pond' kind of angle.

The paraphrased "got it" response. It's in the pile with: Thanks for playing.
Color me shocked.
So using your logic....
I said what I said. Don't paraphrase and melt.

who act like this is just some horrible job are pathetic. Just because LSU has a bozo AD who's made shitty hires doesn't mean the job itself is bad. The right coach could win and win big here.
1. The SECN contract is the most lucrative in the nation. The money it provides to the schools is not strictly earmarked for football. Football will always be king in the SEC, but there is more than enough left over to pay a great basketball coach, upgrade facilities, etc.
2. The same recruiting advantages LSU has in football are there for basketball. I know this might come as a shock to some, but the state of Louisiana produces a lot of good basketball talent. As of opening day this year there were 11 players on NBA rosters born in Louisiana. That's the same amount as WA, PA, GA, and MORE than FL, NJ, VA, MO, etc. Pretty remarkable when you consider most of the states tied or ahead of LA have populations double or triple LA. Only Indiana produces more NBA talent per capita (unless you also want to count DC and the fact that ND has 2 players relative to an incredibly small population)
LINK
In addition to the fact that LA produces more than its fair share of great players, Baton Rouge alone produces an inordinate amount of good talent.
LINK
The link above is two years old, but still pertinent. At the time of the article Baton Rouge was T-7th in terms of NBA players. Only NYC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and Philadelphia had more. BR was tied with Seattle, Memphis and Baltimore, and had more than Houston and Atlanta. Doesn't sound like much until you realize BR is the 93rd largest city in the US. That list doesn't even include Damian Jones who is also now in the NBA.
BR routinely has top 100 players just about every year, and that's not even the largest city in the state!
LSU has money, tradition (ex: the 4 best scoring season by class in NCAA history are solely held by LSU players Maravich and Jackson), and most importantly, proximity to a lot of talent.
Maybe if LSU and its fans would stop looking at the basketball program as some poor insignificant step child rather than the monster it as the potential to be, we could actually get somewhere.
There is a TON of potential here (just like there was in 1999 when Saban was hired). Someone just has to have the confidence to sell it!
Hell of a post right here.

I agree, Mizzou is the better basketball program.

I'm willing to bet you haven't fully moved on either....despite the fact that things....as of now...appear much brighter for the team and there seems to be a renewed spirit of optimism.

It's the better job. In no way is Mizzou a better program than lsu in basketball.
Lsu has one less elite 8 than Mizzou has sweet 16's.

Because of coordinators. Not because of our head coach.

LSU is an elite athletic program at a very desirable national university. LSU has struggled to build a first-class basketball program due to a history of careless coaching hires.
Missouri is a mediocre athletic program thrust into a conference filled with elite ones, at a university with an historically strong academic record which is currently in tatters due to a surrender to cultural Marxists. Missouri's attendance and booster support is in deep decline as a result. Missouri's basketball history and emphasis has been good in the past, but Missouri is currently on probation and has been awful in basketball since joining the SEC - when it joined it was supposed to improve SEC basketball rather than occupy the cellar.
The only reason there is an argument about whether LSU is a better basketball job than Missouri is that LSU hasn't chosen to be. As soon as that choice is made there will be no comparison between the two.

It seems like Mizzou's program went downhill ever since they joined the SEC.

Yeah posting actual FACTS about miles tenure really means I haven't moved on from him getting fired.
I'll never stop posting actual facts about Saban's tenure either, I guess I'm not over him leaving either. Hey Mac won 1 sec title,oops I must not be over him leaving.
If we are being honest here more posters arent over Miles having one of the most successful tenures in SEC HISTORY than there are posters not over him getting fired and by a massive margin.

Red is a decent poster. We just disagree on some things. I dont know your post history with him so maybe you have had a different back and forth.
