Any chance they put this over the air on CBS or for free on Paramount Plus, instead of requiring the paid subscription?

re: Lsu is not good at sports

But they spend money like they are good at sports


LSU was once good at sports but then LSU got bad at sports and now LSU is spending money to be good at sports again.

Rich Paul


We’re just believing things this guy says nowadays?

It’s not like Maxey went 1 pick after the Pels selected Lewis. There was even another PG selected after Lewis and before Maxey.

12th - Tyrese Haliburton
13th - Kira Lewis, Jr
15th - Cole Anthony
21st - Tyrese Maxey

This was all just Rich Paul wanting to match up his client with who everyone thought was going to be the next big superstar in Zion.

The Pelicans are an easy organization for Rich Paul to throw under the bus.

Kids love it.

We’ve been twice with our daughters (Alex Box and Superdome) and they had a blast.

It’s not my cup of tea, but at the price point they are selling tickets and with the game clock, it makes for a great family outing that isn’t going to break the bank.

i was told that he had ancestral money


That was made up in college to give him cover for all of the money he was accepting under the table.

LSU only has two real national championships in football since they shot the first monkey into space


Which 2, in your opinion, are the fake ones?

I was just thinking this weekend about the number of vacations people seem to go on each year. Seems like people go on 3 or 4 vacations a year instead of just the one.

Winter Break, Spring Break, Memorial Day, Late Summer vacation, etc.

It’s clear, these days.

If only the selection committee cared about this, or anyone for that matter


They don’t.

It just would have made more sense for this thread to be started by any of the other number of fan bases that kicked LSU’s arse this season, instead of a Tennessee fan, lol.
Imagine being one of the only SEC schools to lose a weekend series to this awful LSU team…..

Worst LSU team since before the Skip era and still won a weekend series in Knoxville, lol.

I think most LSU fans understand what Coach O is. He's a very good position coach and recruiter, but not someone I would want to be the head coach of my team.


This. Not sure why it’s so hard for people to understand.
quote:

They don't like him because he didn't "suffer enough" as a skin on the wall for the media. When the story first broke in 2019, the media was going to "change college basketball forever". Less than two years later their crusade was rendered meaningless when the transfer rules and NIL became "legal". Because of that Wade wasn't banished to Elba forever like they hoped. He quickly popped up in Lake Charles and began having success once more.


This is the primary reason, IMO.

The Pat Fordes of the sports media world spent years on this huge cheating scandal thinking they had changed college basketball forever by getting a program like LSU to fire its head coach, only for Wade to end right back in same position rendering their years of work pointless.
quote:

Why do you think no other coach has done what Will Wade just did - sign a roster of nothing but 22-25 year olds?


Because there was not much of a proof of concept prior to Illinois, this season?

Think the average age of Illinois’ primary players was right around 22.
quote:

The NCAA announces that guys in their mid twenties shouldn’t be competing against 18 year old freshmen. The NCAA says they are changing the rule to address this exact thing before it becomes a problem. This new rule will effectively ban 23 year old and older players from college sports. The rule is advanced but not yet implemented.


I’m failing to see where Wade is breaking any current rules.

that was a pain to fast forward through looking for it. Starts at 1 hr 8 min in


The episode description has a link to where the actual interview starts, unless that’s only on the paid version that I have.

Wade went on a shopping spree in foreign pro-leagues to fill out his roster.


Wasn’t Illinois just celebrated on its Final Four run for the Balkan 5?

Netflix smashed the mma all time viewership record so I’m guessing they will be sticking around. With all the money they have been throwing around, I’m surprised they didn’t sign Conor.


Seems like they will do everything they possibly can to get Ngannou-Jon Jones.

MVP needs a good 2nd event to keep momentum going and washed up former UFC fighters can only do so much with one off events.
