If this is accurate, I smell Collis trying to leverage this hire. Johnny played for a great HS coach Dale Skinner, and was coached and recruited by Rick Huckabay at LSU (who was an assistant to Skinner), so he’s from a decent tree, but I don’t like it. For one, Johnny is 64 and on the downhill side of enthusiasm and energy.

Yep, 20. That’s not coaching, that’s not talent, that’s pure desire or lack thereof. Johnson and Williams were both 6-15….40% which isn’t terrible but Flaujae’s shot selection was very poor just like it’s been in pretty much every key game this year. And the last play, all Flaujae had to do was square up and play D, don’t go for ball fake…..but she did and overshot her position and left the girl free.

I shared your reply with my buddy and he said the same thing:

I noticed this phenomenon the last few days. It’s dead slick where the oil is. Even with a windy chop. Fn weird

This drone video was taken by my buddy in Montegut who is an oyster fisherman. There was hardly no media coverage of the spill until he shared this video and others, and his guys first hand accounts Drone Video of Oil Spill with NOLA and BR media.

LOOP first said it was 12k gallons, then after a couple of weeks I read 31k gallons. It seems like the media coverage is getting more attention to the spill and clean up efforts. Shrimp larvae (on top of water table now) and oyster harvests could be impacted.

In this day and age, there is no excuse for a HC for not promoting your program, both locally, regionally and nationally. What has MM done along these lines? Dale Brown, love him or not, did more without social media that MM did with the world at his fingertips. I obviously don’t know him, but I know his results and they squarely suck.

General Wade is hopefully advancing his flank position toward the Bayou.

His youngest son is making the doc, which looks pretty good from the trailer (link below).

He’s interviewed some former Redemptorist teammates of mine. The story of him at Marshall was pretty crazy, especially involving Tom Curry.

Scales left in 80, the year before. From Carter High in Dallas. He was fun to watch.

Ron was a very good recruiter but he definitely was not the technical type coach the others were.

He had Jack Schalow, Tex Winters, then Homer Drew, then Rick Huckabay, and later Gary Duhe. Brown obviously wasn’t an XO nor a game coach and he wouldn’t have had half the success he had without these assistants. And to those who don’t remember, weren’t around, or deny his success. One of his first teams was with Eddie Palubinskas, Mike Darnell, John Enquist. They were sub mid pack record wise but he put a good product on the floor. Then he really started hitting on all cylinders when my teammate Howard Carter was a sophomore in 1980 with Macklin, Sims, Leonard Mitchell, Huck Martin, John Tudor, and Cookie Man. 17-1 in SEC and 31-5 overall, and a final four berth, finally to be taken down by the great Bobby Knight. That game was Huckabay vs Knight in XO and game coaching and Knight was better. But Brown assembled that team.

Then the next final four team with Redden, Blanton and Derek Taylor, another Redemptorist boy.

Bottom line and moral of the story. You can’t win with a passive, sluggish, probably a great guy but not enthusiastic at all coach. You need a spitfire who believes his own schtick. Dale Brown had most of what’s needed because he knew he needed the good technical assistants. And at this stage of his young career, Will Wade has what it takes even more so. Rouse knows that and hopefully he can throw the cast net well enough to bring the General home.

All income over $600k is taxed at 37.5%, add that to the 14% in CA and other states and they will be paying over 50% income tax. Welcome to communist shitholes; every one of them.

Better than his last outing but he’s still pitching to the equivalent of a BR HS All Star team, at best. Moment of truth comes this weekend.
