Where is all this money that made Lane choose LSU?

That was all the talk and Qb is critical, we need at minimum 2!

I don't know anything but this:

Lane, his GM and his staff are working on everything, leaving no stone unturned. They have a plan. They have an idea how they will distribute the bucks. They know a helluva lot more than you or any jackleg on this forum.

Sit back and watch. As former Tiger great Marquise Hill (RIP) once said, "If you're scared get a dog".

You mean like 2004 when Saban had to start Melvin Hill because MM decided not to come back.Yea 5 losses after a championship year.

---

We were 9-3 that year. He started Marcus Randall but had Jamarcus and Flynn as backups. Marcus was overwhelmed in his first start and the defense played like shite. Marcus had some decent moments.
However we came within a whisker of beating an undefeated Auburn team and the Iowa loss was a blown coverage.

Don't post if you don't know your arse from a hole in the ground.

Why would we? He has absolutely zero ties to LSU or our interests.

Not knocking the kid, but there are lots of players from Louisiana who play ball elsewhere.

It remains to be seen if the Commission will have any teeth.

Many are just overlooking that the women’s game has grown and there are more quality teams and thus more parity. There are only two perennially elite programs: UConn and S Carolina. Everyone else is fighting for third and the number of those teams is getting larger.
We caught lightning in a bottle in 2023.

I think they are overreacting as well.

Earlier folks were excited because this looks (looked) like Kim's best roster. As a result the expectations grew greatly. A loss at home to a good team and a road loss to a good team have dampened that exuberance.

It's a classic case of a huge letdown from perhaps unmerited expectations. Mulkey has her philosophy of prepping her team with weak competition and it's worked well for her. Plus, she only had two bonafide contributors in Johnson and Williams who had played a lot together so maybe she needed the weak OOC to mesh the newcomers together. They simply hadn't faced great competition and it shows.

As others have pointed out our inside game is pretty weak thus far. Koval looks slow and not very athletic. Fulwiley is a very good player but she's not carrying a team on her own. Richard isn't quite there yet.

When expectations are high and the results don't come it makes for catastrophe syndrome.

Sorsby was blown away by Texas Tech’s facilities and appreciated the culture set there by the coaching staff.

Yeah, the $5 mil had nothing to do with it!

Are You Surprised?

I am only surprised that Parker would hit the portal. He seems talented and that Kiffin would have wanted to keep him. I thought he should have a lot more playing time than Brown and was the most capable receiver to replace Aaron Anderson when he went down.

Why is CoachMc considered such a great coach on TD?

Now you're just making shite up.

It didn't seem like such a bad hire back then when the program was likely viewed as a toxic landing spot for almost any coach to consider. Still, no one was doing summersaults with his hire.

As for his prior accomplishments you could have said the same about Wade when he was hired. Their records prior to LSU were comparable and Wade took over a good VCU program from Shaka Smart.

In hindsight, McMahon has obviously been a big disappointment even considering the shite show he inherited. He hasn't proved to be adept at recruiting, portal and the lack of talent has been noticeable. His personality is drab. I have to think there was some reason why he wasn't let go earlier. If the big hoops boosters wanted him gone he would have been toast.

No one thinks he will survive this year without a tourney invitation assuming LSU boosters will pay his buyout and spend big bucks on the right hire. It's hard to see prospective coaches lining up to come to Baton Rouge.

Everyone wants to see the PMAC packed and a return to a deep tourney run. No one thinks that will happen under McMahon. This is his best team and we should support them. HIs future will all play out at some point.

You’re wasting your efforts. Most of those dudettes with “Mc” crap are social inept, immature douche nozzles. The McMahon lynch mob can’t just let it play out.
