re: Wait, what was that you were saying CJJ haters?

Again, you keep acting like LSU is some perennial bottom feeding basketball program. It isn't. There is plenty of talent to be had here and much success in the past. Trent Johnson sucked. Johnny Jones won't be here much longer unless he can right the ship...they have put together a couple good games...let's hope it continues.

So there arent teams that rebuild almost every year?

You mean reload? This isn't the 90's, LSU bball is not Kenutcky or Duke

Rebuilding the LSU program is a tough job

I watched several runs deep into the trny by LSU....back to back.

---

When?

LSU hasn't had a year where they advanced in the tourney back to back years since 1986 and 1987

quote:

---

ts going to take more than winning a couple games to win over people like me. He needs to win trny games. Its not that difficult to finish in the top 70 in the nation. What do you do when you get there? Blow huge second half leads? Again...I admire your passion but JJ hasn't accomplished jack shite at LSU yet. Here's to hoping he does.

---

It is a process, and I haven't really defended JJ for this season.

We've improved every year, brought talent in, and got back into the tourney. We finished 3rd in the conference last year and almost equaled our 3 year total in conference wins from before he was hired.

SO FAR, he's met the rebuilding expectations and put us back in the tourney. Lets see what he can do this year to build on it.

I will never understand you fricks.

you don't understand people being frustrated at 9-5 with some awful losses despite having simmons and alot of talent?

quote:

---

LSU just beat the #9 team in the country, a basketball powerhouse that won the NC in 2012, was runner-up in 2014 and Final 4 team last year

---

uk was terrible last night. lsu did what they were supposed to do but, jones supporters are acting like lsu just beat last year's team. plus, vandy appears to be in a slump right now. i'm glad the team is moving in the right direction but, there's no reason to overstate the 2 wins.

quote:

---

It's a lot more important how a team plays in the SEC, in January, and February than how they play in December. Apparently, you are the one who doesn't know what he's talking about if you don't know that.

---

it's like you've forgotten 10 months ago. lsu's results were compared to teams with similar results. what got lsu in were the nice ooc road wins. dec matters and right now, lsu is not in good shape even after beating a slumping vandy team and super inconsistent uk team.

quote:

---

2-0 in the SEC with a road win at Vandy and knocking off #9 Kentucky is a crappy job?

---

yes. this season has been crappy even with this week. apparently you aren't aware of how bad it is. it's been reported in the national news multiple times what an awful job jones is doing and how he's squandering simmons. basically everybody knows about it except for you apparently.

quote:

---

Typical retard over reaction to a team just getting all its parts together

---

nothing i posted is not factual so it's stupid for you to call me names. moreover, this team might be "getting it together" but that might not be enough to make the tourney and that's what the discussion is about. they dug a hole so deep they might not be able to climb out of it. but keep your head in the sand.

Yes..if someone told me in 2010 that we won't win a trny game for at least 6 years...you damn right I would be disappointed..especially coming off 2006 and 2009. You need to let go of this back to back loss crap. It isn't as significant as you think. We didn't have a contender either year. Yay we got there one of seventy teams.

Go back and reread what I posted

i understood it just fine the first time.

quote:

---

His best attribute as a coach is his recruiting abilities, and you're penalizing him for it

---

no, he's penalizing himself and some people are calling him out for it. he trots out a respectable team for 2+ seasons and bumbles his way to ZERO tourney wins and alot of bad losses.

quote:

---

but the year to year improvement of the program, until this season, has been consistent with reasonable expectations of rebuilding our terrible program.

---

you and i see reality quite differently. jones has sucked. he hasn't won even ONE tourney game. NOT ONE. finally got in and blew a huge 2nd half lead against a better than average acc team. ridiculous. oh and the game before that, he blew a lead against a crappy auburn team playing it's 3rd game in less than 48 hours. i can't understand why people like you are giving him a pass for sucking.

quote:

---

He's done an outstanding job of bringing guys in, which should be applauded

---

lsu did not hire him to merely bring players in. that's a recruiting coordinator and he would be great at that.

quote:

---

This isn't 2006 where the talent was thrown into our lap.

---

you can say that if you want but, the last 2 seasons, jones has had very, very respectable talent. top 4 (13-14) and top 2 (14-15) sec talent. the results weren't even close to matching the roster. brady went to the final 4 with that team.

quote:

---

Most of those losses have come in the absence of 2 of our best 3 players

---

most of those losses came to vastly inferior teams that lsu should have beaten. look at the way lsu played with simmons on the bench. lsu should have played that way when they were out of the lineup early on.

quote:

---

There is no reason to shite on these big two wins either. It's pathetic.

---

i'm not doing that. i'm being objective that vandy is in a slump with an unimpressive record and uk is very inconsistent.

Lol sorry, two good games. Forget the 5 bad games, and I don't give a shite about an up vote or down vote. I am just voicing my opinion. I don't expect everyone to like what I say. Whether you consider yourself a sunshine blow hard, or a nega tiger, we all want LSU to win and succeed , so it doesn't matter.
