no criticism allowed of any coach wearing purple and gold.

All our coaches are perfect!!


Did I say this? There were some things that weren't great, and some things that were. It's the first game of the damn season, and LSU won easily. Maybe just pump the breaks a little.

You've literally completely written off the defense in their first game without 2 of our better players and an entirely new scheme, but yeah, totally chill...



Some people will just always be miserable

Didn’t say Wade sucks or that the team sucks, I’m saying they look exactly the same as they do every year. Nothing more nothing less. Y’all need to take it easy

Except they dont, completely new defense this year if you paid attention at all, or to what Wade said all offseason either.

Also, again, the defense hasn't been bad every year like you keep saying.

In 2018-2019 kenpom has our defensive eff. in top 60 out of 351 teams.

Didn’t write them off, I’m saying they are what they always are. Didn’t say the team sucked or they wouldn’t do anything. In no way did I come off like I was mad or anything, yet you keep saying I am. Take your own advice and chill

And after Taylor and KVB were added to the starting lineup we were top 20.

Defense got a lot better near the end when Wade put Gaines and Cook in.

This looks like a Pelini defense lol

The Defense would probably give up 81 points to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville in football as well.

You literally said see you in February when they still suck, what else would you interpret that as?

And for third time the defense hasn't always been bad under Wade here. You're just flat out wrong there.

But they’re not always the same. The 2018 defense was outstanding after the rotation was set, last years D struggled with injuries and a lack of size. They were completely different in style and production.

But but but Will Wade is bad. He cheated.

These same posters seem to completely forgot how historically bad we were defensively in JJ’s last year.

The 2018 defense wasn’t outstanding...at all. Much better than last year? Yes. Outstanding? No. Of the top 30 teams, LSU was the third worst defensively. It’s why Michigan St. absolutely carved them up in the NCAAT

This was a bad team LSU played tonight. In 14 years of D-1 competition SIUE has NEVER had a winning season. And for a team whose HC said they placed more emphasis on the defensive end in the offseason than ever before, they just came out played their worst defensive opener...by far...of the Wade tenure (feel free to check the stats)

Can they improve? Absolutely. I think Leblanc by himself will do more than Wade can ever do. But past results don’t give you much confidence they will.

That’s not being unrealistically negative. It’s looking at 3 years of data

It's because they weren't around.

Besides the obvious trolls, it's a double-edged sword. Heightened expectations for the program lead to newfound expert "fans" that know better.

Given the choice, I'll take the ignorance to go along with the success.

Smart is lazy on defense, he could be a lot better than he is.

“Good” is relative. Was that team good relative to SWAC and MEAC teams? Yes.

We’re they “good” relative to power conf teams? Not really. For example, that team was the 8th best defensive team in the SEC. They would have been 8th best among Big 12 teams. 12th among Big 10 teams. 10th among ACC teams. So Wade’s best defensive team was below average among power conf teams.

That dude is stating a fact, nothing ignorant about his statement. Tell me when has the defense been great under WW? He didn’t say WW was terrible as a coach, just that the defense has been.
