What a load of BS. Come on, Alt, this is nonsense. Most fans just see a scheduled game and aren't as into the semantics as you are.


You just proved most fans are stupid. It literally says EXHIBITION on any schedule you look at.

Doesnt trust wade, what will we ever do!

nothing... b/c what i think, just like what you think, really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of LSU Basketball, or bigger picture, in life...

so don't take opposing opinions on this board so serious, my guy... seems it hit a nerve

no one said that it's a game that counts... but if we had to cancel/forfeit/choose your word b/c i don't care about the semantics of it, etc... that would be a pretty bad look for LSU

shite, that's embarrassing in a fricking Rec league, much less major MCBB

Do you really think LSU would cancel an exhibition game? I have no doubt he will field a team for exhibition games or regular season games. If the roster is good enough to compete in the SEC, that remains to be seen.

Do to the timing of his hiring and late start recruiting, I will not freak out if the team doesn’t win to your liking this year. I wouldn’t take that as a sign at all that Wade can’t win here. He’s already shown us he can.

I was one that wanted to give McMahon a fair shot. He got it and didn’t produce. I wasn’t in the camp that we had to replace him with Wade, but now that we have I think he needs to get a fair shot and will ultimately win.

This thread turned out exactly how I thought it would when I read the OP this morning.

no, but it sure would be nice to see what the frick we ACTUALLY have as far as a team goes...

for this season, i have my doubts... in the future, possibly... actually, probably... but this season, yeah, i have my doubts

pre-NIL Wade vs. NIL Wade, at LSU, remains to be seen... i'm willing to give him a shot, of course, but like i said before, he hasn't won me over yet... i remain VERY cautiously optimistic

i agreee he needs a fair shot, and that i'm willing to give him... can he win games? yeah, i've seen that... i even said as much, that he's had some success here before... but that was then... this is now... and if we can't do like Alabama, Auburn, etc, and essentially become both a football AND basketball school, then to me, that's a faliure... i want to compete in the NCAA tournament and have deep runs, not just win games for the sake of winning games... running roughshod in the pre-conference games is great and all, but i'd like to be able to compete vs. the best in the SEC and then in the tournament....there's no reason why LSU shouldn't be able to... they've entrusted Wade the program, so let's see how he does...

Been reading your post last few days. Man just stop it. Not sure if you are JJ fan or last shitty basketball coach, but stop. I am sure we have a full roster or close to it. Please become a fan of another university if you feel this strongly about WW.

game is 6 days away, LSU site has 4 players listed, Wade claims 15, yet no one other than the 4 on LSU's site, have been named/identified.... would be embarrassing as frick to have to forfeit to McNeese b/c we don't have enough players


You guys are idiots.

Wade had already addressed this. We already knew Santos was going back to Europe. Wade said we have 15 not counting Santos practicing. We all already know who those 15 are. He also said there were about 4 of those that we were still waiting to find out about there eligibility and we know exactly which 4 those are. So we know that once season starts we will have between 11 and 15 players on roster. Why would we have to forfeit anything.

Wade specifically addressed this in his press conference. He said "no matter how our roster looks, we got five guys, we are going to go play the game. We're not going to chicken out"

You'll get to see that on November 3rd...when the games actually count. Everything else is practice

The irony in this statement is thinking that paying blue-chip players wasn't the norm before "NIL" was allowed. Wade won at LSU at a time when top players were being paid by everyone. That's essentially why AAU basketball exists. It's a marketplace for top talent.

Some folks maybe didn't see the presser, some have anti-Wade agendas, some are trolling. But for the rest - you summarized it perfectly.....R-E-L-A-X.

Yes, Will has said that he has a full roster, but he's not known as a liar.

On the mobile app if you click on the game it says Exhibition. On the mobile web site the exhibition games are in a separate section at the beginning marked Exhibition.
