Vandy is also currently good at all 3, cusp of playoffs, tourny team and baseball is good.

Texas tech if we go out of sec- playoffs, good basketball and baseball

WRONG! Tennessee has 1 championship in Baseball and ZERO in the others in since God knows how long.

Florida Bball Title last year. Football and Baseball has been a while. 2017 in Baseball which was in a different era.

Texas, possible, but otherwise has not done it. But still No Championships.

Again, tell me 1 that is at an Elite Level, especially in this current era, in all 3 Sports?

You Can't Because it doesn't exist! Give it Up Bruh! LSU DNGAF about Men's Basketball and any Decent that has that is not Blind can clearly see that. Even Wade recently said the same.

Vandy has had 1 good year in Football in Forever. Baseball has not been at a Championship level since things have changed in this era. Basketbal is Mehhh most years.

Texas Tech, like Vandy, had their first good year in Football in forever. Baseball is Mehhh on a good year with Zero Championships in Basketball.

Oregon outside of Football is not competing for anything Nationally.

It's not LSU, it's the donors. If the donors don't approach the AD with checks and a plan, nothing will happen. Do the major donors have the appetite for another buyout this academic year? Are there enough basketball only donors to foot the bill?

The AD's job is to squeeze every cent out of the donors. Definitely shouldn't be waiting on them to approach you with the money.

According to our announcers, we still have a chance to make the tourney

A bit silly to only include titles as being good especially considering how flukish a basketball title is because of the tournament.

Can we compete at a high level in all 3? Yes it’s being done in our conference.

Aggy is spending on every sport but failing. The harder part is finding 3 great to elite level of coaches.

Verge is better at this than Scott, imo. There was always something about Scott that seemed fake.

Basketball unlike baseball being good helps to pay for itself because of the revenue you can generate and you just can’t do that in baseball. We can be good at all 3

Florida was in title series against LSU 3 years ago. So they are competing near the top. But football can't get going there. Been a while

Basketball still generates revenue even when you are as bad as us but only because of tv deal. You give baseball that same tv deal and it would turn a profit.

WBB being a big money loser is crazy because of tv deal and the little expenses a bball team has but despite its lack of actual interest it’s shoved down everyone’s throats.

Fact is we could be good at them all if we have the right coaches

Exactly UF has been elite at basketball and baseball. Yes they had the title in 17 but they have been in the cws over and over like you said got dick stomped by us just three years ago

They have sucked at football but that isn’t because they refuse to try it’s because they hired shite arse coaches

Oh I 100% agree, we're actually leaving money on the table perpetuating this state of ambivalence regarding the sport. Mascona's sources who are telling him it's too much money....I hope they are not the real decision makers like he purports them to be. And I don't think they are.

But anyway losses like South Carolina, Miss. St. and Georgia at home, embarrassing losses like that - I would think would make it very difficult for Mascona's sauces to win out in this one.

I expect Vandy to come down to Earth very soon. I think the football team will have a tough time repeating their recent success of the Pavia era. I think the finish below .500 in the conference in basketball this year. Baseball will probably be solid.

Not really. Game 1 could have went either way. Then they skill drug us game 2 and we returned the favor in game 3

Rousse also hired The General, then McNeese won 29 games, made the tourney and won a game to final 32.
People say they didn’t play anybody, that’s the same thing they’re saying about SEC teams that have wins over LSU for four years- we are the nobody on everyone’s schedule.

They found money to give MM for NIL since he wouldn’t raise money on his own. They should shake the same trees to end this bullshite a year or two later than it should have ended.

I mean admin can ask, but they are likely going to be asking the same people who are currently paying BK $800k per month, as well as Kiffin and his new offensive staff, as well as the the highest paid coordinator in CFB, as well as the entirely new roster they just bought. So yeah, they can shake those same trees, but there’s no guarantee that those trees have many leaves left at the moment.

Might want to check your timeline. If you said the AD hired Wade then okay, Rousse was at McNeese when Wade was hired, however he was not the President at McNeese when Wade was hired.

7/1/2024 Rousse hired as the eighth president of McNeese.

3/12/2023 Will Wade hired as BB coach at McNeese,
