re: Bacchus/Endymion

Both are great and are in a class above the other krewes . I think everyone knows it . They are different both are spectacular when someone sees one for the first time they know that that’s a different parade from a typical krewe I understand that other krewes have upped their game but I just think Bacchus and Endymion are at a higher level kind of like Tiger Stadium at night for a big game versus a random game against an FCS opponent
Moscona will spin it and say. I never said Wade wasnt coming. He is mad because Woodwards 2 most important hires were a failure

He will be fired. It has to be done will lose more money by keeping him and letting the second most important sport from a financial standpoint continue to struggle. Things can be Turned around quickly with the right hire and money will flow to the program

The direct flights are for the American hematology conference in December. They had this in 2022 as well.
This isn’t the 1980s. The ACC doesn’t have the money to compete long-term with the SEC in any sport Wade knows that I’m not saying he’s coming back to LSU but it’s crazy it sounds the LSU job is a better job because it’s in the SEC than North Carolina state is. Coaches know where the money is
MCMahon is gone. Lee Mallet and Rousse both want Wade. ACC while historically a great conference doesn’t have near the money the SEC has now and never will given the current landscape. It will be up to Wade to say no we shall see what happens

The story is Ed Muniz was at the River gate watching Bacchus in the late 70s with Blaine Kern and said that that’s what we need to do and then made the change from a small neighborhood parade that rented Carroltons floats to the super Krewe model
Sala is undergoing a reorganization under bankruptcy protection I am not sure they will survive it. They will be down to 25 stores nationally after this round of closures. They may not exist in 2 years

Orpheus is just as good as other 2 can’t give a specific reason but just not as big time

It was defined by Errol Laborde years ago but I think size and quality of floats quality of bands quality of throws etc

Bacchus/Endymion

Posted by Optimism on 2/10/26 at 4:00 pm
Yearly thread. Only 2 real superkrewes in my view
Both are great. I prefer Bacchus but understand the arguments for Endymion .
NAshville is pursuing MLB. PELs will sign a lease extension this summer and approve SKC renovations with Champions Square
For our sake and his sake he needs to play
Basketball unlike baseball being good helps to pay for itself because of the revenue you can generate and you just can’t do that in baseball. We can be good at all 3
Rousse wants to win in basketball I will be surprised if they don’t make a change
At this point school
Will lose more money keeping him than firing him. Mens BB is only sport other than football that makes money even with a terrible product. LSU can’t afford much longer for it to be irrelevant
The decision wont be made by Verge or anybody administration it’ll be made by the donors if there is enough money to get rid of him and pay the new coach and pay the players he’ll be fired. If they don’t think they have enough money they will retain him
He is ?? a starter on any team

We all love Jose but McGowins may actually be a find had he is on a full deal now. The biggest mistake Dumars made was not the queen trade it was signing Jordan Poole, but at least you got bay as a tagalong.
They are going to sign a lease extension later this year and renovate the SKC. The NBA wants to expand to Seattle and probably Vegas as that will be more money for owners Let’s hope the next owner is commited to winning
The Saints will always be the priority. THe Bensons deserve credit for saving basketball but now is the time to sell the team to Todd Graves
I’m not vouching for Dumars said he’ll probably be a failure. Griffin had six years never won a playoff series went through multiple coaches failed to take advantage of the Anthony Davis trade so he was a failure Ultimately, it resides with the ownership who don’t seem to be able to know what to do or really care. I am not sure Jerry West could have won with this ownership but the team isn’t moving it is just incompetence not a grand plan to move the team
Hayes was terrible. Kyra Lewis awful maybe his trades were worse than his picks. The ownership is awful but they are going to sign a lease extension with the state and renovate the SKC. I felt like Griff talked a good game but never delivered Dimars was left with a bad team let see how it ends up but probably will be a failure like all the others
I honesty think Grif was worse than Dumars. At least Fears and Queen can play. Grif had so many bad picks
I am guessing they use rhe 2nd rd picks as part of trade for Missi
BAcchus and Endymion are still worth it to see especially if you bring people from out of town who have never seen floats like that and Bacchus marching bands are top notch
DTat is nice for the satire. Iris and Tucks if weather is good are both enjoyable and have stepped up their game in last few years

Vegas caters to the high rollers Still busy with conventions. Gambling is everywhere now so it has lost some of its appeal as a unique Destination

We used to sell out the Superdome when Dale was coach. Back in the 1980s and early 1990s LSU basketball was huge We have the greater college basketball player ever as the namesake on the arena Invest in program start to win again and people will flock to the PMAC
If Landry gets the General back and Kiffin wins like we think he will Landry will come out looking good despite his methods. All the Woodward supporters have fled the board. I wonder if Moscona can still defend Scotty
Property and income taxes are the worst. The fact that property taxes can be raised on some BS assessment is insane should be frozen at the price at time of sale
I don’t care who fired Woodward but he needed to go. Now time to get a real basketball coach
