re: Woodward is killing my love of LSU athletics

Eye of the beholder I guess.

I see great hires in football, baseball, and women’s basketball.

Woodward is doing an excellent job as LSU AD. He’s Probably the best AD we’ve ever had here actually, and it’s not really close. I do agree he made a bad men’s basketball hire. It happens…No one bats a thousand on hires. I’m glad men’s basketball was the bad hire, and not football or baseball.

Anyone that thinks Woodward is a bad AD doesn’t have a clue how the organization works.

Will Wade, imo, is the best CBB in the country.

thanks Mrs Wade

but man want a colossal eff up for getting rid of Wade.

If only there was a valid reason like the coach was on tape openly violating what were at the time the rules

he also hired two coaches that won championships under his watch.

Three

Nah, there more action than someone throwing a ball every 30-60 seconds

College basketball is a terrible product. I’ll ignore your hyperbole but counter you with there being a whistle for every 30 seconds of game time. It’s only interesting because of the unpredictable nature of the tournament.

Based on your post, you just don’t like the sport of baseball in general. It has nothing to do with college baseball, specifically.

Let’s bring back Joe Dean.

LSU admin collapsed under media pressure to get rid of Wade.

Any school would cave when a coach is caught giving a player’s fiancé money from his and his wife’s own joint checking account. No coach would survive that.

Name another coach other than maybe Rick Pitino who could take McNeese to the tournament?

---

Dan Hurley, Bruce Pearl, Nate Oats and about 50 others . Someone from the Southland conference makes the tournament every year. He’s good coach and he’s done a great job there and I’m sure he will get another big job soon, but “best coach in CBB” is taking Wade tardism to another level.

Woodward has his faults, but he also hired two coaches that won championships under his watch.

He fell arse backwards into having the luxury of a HOF WBB coach in her prime who was not only a native of Louisiana, but had a son prominently attend the school.

Johnson is promising. There is reason to believe he’s going to be really good. But you can’t completely ignore the fact 6 of the 9 hitters in the NC lineup were veteran players originally signed by Mainieri. Last year there were only a few Mainieri holdovers and LSU and he tied for the fewest SEC wins over the previous 13 seasons. His best performance at Arizona was his first season with a lot of Andy Lopez holdovers.

This is the first year the teams is fully his. He can either put to rest any discussion that he’s only great with the benefit of another HCs players…or bring that argument out from just a whisper

College baseball moves entirely too slow. Plus half the teams they play don't give a shite about baseball. Half the SEC has glorified high school stadiums

You literally made all of this up in your head

quote:

Most of the best baseball players out of high school don't even go to college.

That was true 10 years ago. Not anymore. 9 of the top 10 (and first eight) draft picks this past year were from college baseball

The current LSU Roster may have 3-4 players tops that will ever sniff a Major League roster spot

This board isn’t like your post but it was spot on.
