Ricky Blanton is one guy who never gets enough love when people talk about all-time great LSU basketball players.
I would sub Kenny Higgs for that. LSU's all time assist leader and No. 7 all time scorer.

examples?
Hell many, many folks here were consistently opposed to Obama and his policies - very passionately so - you could pull up many, many examples of it with a simple search of this site.
And those same folks were able to support Olympic athletes with no problem.
That was my point. Ain't a president that ever has been that has not had vehement opposition to some policies and by literally millions but that really should and for most does not have any affect on their ability to pull for their country's athletes in the olympics.

I think
I see my post has probably been misinterpreted and misunderstood by some.
I manage to pull for my country in the Olympics whether I like the President and his policies or not. I was commenting in response to Hill's comments as to how anyone could - it's easy - people have been doing it since the Olympics began.

Politicians can bug off for all I care but there's some statistical evidence of this and this isn't the only one (focus on the poll not the associated post). If you Google around you'll see a marked difference in political ID and "patriotism" and how each side handles being "out of power" and their feelings about the US generally.

LSU beat #1 Kentucky 1978
has to be one of, if not the, best games in LSU history.
When all 5 starters fouled out and Andy Campbell had to come in in OT- it seemed like we would come up short.
Scales, Macklin and Martin- those were the days-
That was the watershed moment for the Dale Brown era. Before that - Dale's first 5 years were pretty mediocre and most flat out bad. This game showed we could compete and we did compete fiercely with Kentucky for the next 15 years.

Been going on forever, large portions of the population have not liked every president that ever was elected. It's pretty basic and simple actually, not hard to understand are manage.

The NCAA just chooses who they discipline, for whatever reasons they have. Most likely by protecting their cash cows, and swatting down anybody threatening to take the top players from those cash cows.
This ^^^
Duke bought Zion's Mom a $900K home in Durham and everyone knows it and pretends it didn't happen. Self had damning text messages talking about paying a player $100K and as many Level 1 allegations as LSU did. Two Face Roy and North Carolina participated in a years long academic cheating scandal that was proven to have happened right around the year they won a national title.
I'd add the Florida coach who just won a national title was stalking co-eds and sending dick pics and other things before he even won a title, that were IMHO much more egregious than offering money to players and he's still working.
I could literally go on and on about the double standard and the protecting of the cash cows you allude to.

Either way: on a scale of 1-10, I'd rate the importance of "Location of 1st Press Conference" at Negative 2.
Bringing some excitement to a program that hasn't had any in a long time IMHO goes a good way. Location in a vacuum I'd agree with you. But location as part of a presentation to bring some excitement to the program I do think can make a difference.
I think if you don't think the ability to bring excitement at a press conference and create that excitement at a press conference does not translate to bringing excitement to recruiting and motivating and other aspects of the program that are positive, I'd give you an argument on that point.

Whose fault is that. Did McMahon schedule his own fricking introductory conference? Some of you people just look for shite to criticize.
I'd be willing to bet - No. 1 - WW's presser location - WW had something to do with how it was presented. And I'd be willing to be CMM did not even consider such a thing.

cWoodward sat on his big fat arse and let Florida hire Golden about a week before he settled on McHallman.
I think it's been discussed in this thread or another, but McMahon had a better resume than Golden. Not trying to defend Scott but that's a fact.
Now maybe Golden interviewed better when he wasn't sending pics to co-eds I don't know but if you just look at the records and where they coached and what they did - most would have picked CMM over Golden.

We've been soft for 4 years - that's indisputable. I tried to dial it back this year because I've harped on it ad nauseum, but it really is IMHO the biggest recurring issue with is teams, and it affect about every aspect of the game outside free throw shooting.

We've hashed this out over the years, but I will say, getting KJ to follow CoachMc should have meant something. Instead 2-16 SEC. He wasn't nearly as hamstrung as people want to state.
We're - I am - tired of the excuses. The rope is long gone.
Yeah, I never did buy the year zero stuff - there are some that did and still do - o.k. - I disagree but I can at least listen to the arguments - I did and have and I still disagree.
But we've had 3 years since

Fair enough, he had opportunity to re-recruit others besides those 3.

I think there are things where it's worth standing up for. Golden's stuff was EXTREMELY creepy - and pretty easy to prove. But they chose to stand up for him.
I would not be surprised if in a few years he strays off the path again.

his board would have been in total melt mode if Golden was hired over McMahon. Please tell us what in comparison of their records at the time would have made you hire Golden instead of McMahon.
No doubt. Also, it is curious how little blowback Golden has gotten for his stalking and creeping on the Florida campus, some pretty damning and easily verifiable stuff too. Especially in this day an age.

I think Mascona's source or sources are one faction. I think he is misreading or being mislead about them being the driving force here.

14... and there will be some angst and hand wringing at some point in the season - always is - you can count on that, but in the end we should be well positioned for a CWS appearance.

I remember it well - it was being played on a tape delay in prime time - we did not know who won, it was a different time for sure.
Then Channel 2 sports reporter at the time Andy Leopold comes on in the middle of the game and tells everyone watching the USA won. Not turn down the volume if you don't want to know or any such warning. Folks were phoning in violent threats to the station the rest of the evening.

We had 0 scholarship players coming back. He took over an empty roster.
I guess technically that's true, but he had the opportunity to re-recruit them all and eventually 3 of them returned to the fold as well as I think 3 of his players from his team at Murray State that had gone 30-3 the year before.
His recruiting class and portal classes combined ranked LSU in the top 20 - so the severity of the situation he took over is and was IMHO overstated - as was the still used year zero term. LSU was actually picked in the pre-season that year 8th or 9th by multiple outlets.....so folks who do that kind of thing for a living did not see the situation the same way as many.
