Where are the over-reactionaries who wanted Jones fired a couple weeks ago?

Will they come back and admit that maybe, just maybe, a team can improve over the course of a season and that December is just a tad early to pull the plug on the whole thing?

Nah...who am I kidding...this is the Rant!


All the pieces are finally in place and together for the first time...and these guys have finally realized that a little defense can go a long way. Time to go wreck some shite in Gainesville just after high noon on Saturday.

I was bashing Jones pretty hard but I think I did say that we should let him finish the season before we make any kind of decision on him.

It's not time to gloat.

I said if we dont make the tourney he needs to go.ill stand by it but hope like hell hes here next year because means we made it.

Whatever the meeting was could have saved the season..this defensive intensity is smothering teams. Amazing how good defense leads to better offense.

The losses to Houston and CoC are inexcusable though.

I didnt think he would get close to righting the ship but im so happy i was wrong.



True story...been having my seats for about 7 years now and guy next to us last few years texted after houston loss said he was done for year.
Ill give him credit because on first row of our section my 4 seats were filled and we hd 4 seats next to us...he hasnt made one game since road loss to Houston

Agreed...but some of those criticisms have been addressed and perhaps corrected...it just seems that those who criticize are nowhere ever to be found when the issues appear to have been fixed...or at least recognized. I know 2 games isn't a huge sample size...but it is a step in the right direction.

Everybody was bashing Jones, but we were playing pretty poorly

According to Rpi this is our best loss this season. Just saying.


But I agree the houston game was terrible

Our defensive effort has completely changed the last few games and it's making a huge difference. The criticism was fair. JJ has even been more animated on the bench and he needs to continue to be that way. They played with great effort on both ends tonight and deserved the big W.

I put the NC state and Wake game on the on court play not coaching. Shooting was horrible for NC state and no player nutted up and made plays against wake.

I can accept the Marquette loss even though we should have won without our Keith and Vic. Marquette just beat a really good providence team (ranked 8th)

Hi there.

I am not a JJ fan. Don't think I ever will be.

Wonderful win. And in my opinion a win that should have been a toss up . Yet we were a massive dog.

Our talent is rediclous. That's what all JJ "haters" have been citing.

I am thrilled to see this win and even though I know jones is not a great coach, I am happy to live in the moment, but the reality is this is not the coach that will lead us to long term success

I wouldn't consider myself the biggest Jones fan but I have to say I absolutely love where he's brought our program.

It was pretty frustrating early on, but this is a new team with Victor and Hornsby in the lineup.

LSU fans should support them. They are gonna be fun to watch from here on out.

tonight was nice, but you can't get those winnable games back.

He is a bad coach. Beating a young Kentucky team does not put you in the tournament.

Having said that, I love the players on this team. Blakeny needs to sit... what was he jawing about?!?

Kentucky is overrated. Deal with it. LSU isn't a young team. Simmons is a frosh, but Hornsby is a 5th year senior, same with Grey, TQ a junior, etc.

I am one of those.

Things are looking better, that's for sure.

Still a long way to go. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
