What you said. ALL of those guys were higher rated than Gibson.

Also John Williams and others. Rudy Mackilin was ranked sky high, but was probably before "modern recruiting."

Howard Carter, Livingston. The list is LONG of stud basketball players we've signed here over the decades. We just haven't had the coaching to go with it. Now we do, and it's gonna be GLORIOUS over the next 10-15 years in BR, along with what Kiffin is about to do as well.

EPORE, you seem to have a contact close to the basketball team.

Is there anything definitive on who we have eligible? Do you have a specific number of guys that we still need to get eligible?

Also, is there any truth to the speculation that we aren't announcing the full roster now so we don't provide ammo for the usual dipshit writers who can't wait to jump all over Wade?

Me and the son are driving Friday evening from VB, VA. Staying in WV Friday night, then driving on to Lexington Saturday morning.

Another "Tiger fan" who prefers losing to having Wade as HC. Congratulations.

Because you're a loser, just a fig.

They were on all through the 80s as well.

One of my most hated announcers, and who I'm positive is a major league turd in real life, is former cubs announcer Steve Stone.

A couple of his gems:

"Paul Bunyan in RF for the Phillies has a VERY WEAK arm, so Sandbergh should score easily on a ball hit out there."

"Usain Bolt who has average speed, is running at second for the Phillies, so he'll have a difficult time scoring on anything hard hit to the outfield. "

Yep. I've been a Tiger fan since 1977 and with rare exception, Lexington has been a nightmare for LSU football.

Even our wins there always seem to be squeaked out at the end.

I'm not sure the SEC has much leverage at all. One of our biggest allies is TWO HEARTBEATS from assuming the presidency. I'm fully aware that Johnson has dozens of more pressing matters than LSU's situation, but I'm sure he has staffers (possibly even provided by LSU) that can work on this, then he can rubber stamp it if/when needed.

I am leaning towards believing that LSU (supposedly currently negotiating with the SEC to settle this mess), is allowing the SEC to puff out it's chest a little bit as a face saving measure that ends with nothing of significance being done to LSU.

There is ZERO CHANCE the conference (unless Sankey/SEC are stupid), want Johnson, Kennedy or Landry unloading both barrels of what can be done to the league, particularly in discovery/congressional hearings. That's one of the reasons that expelling LSU wasn't happening from the start. Along with the Mickey Mouse influence as well.

Also, I think Wade's level of confidence "we'll see how this plays out" on the Luis eligibility matter, is where it is because pressure is being put on the NCAA/SEC behind the scenes for a favorable Luis ruling. Mainly, don't make a rule that interferes with Luis playing at LSU, if it's ultimately decided he can by the courts.

BTW, it doesn't appear that the NCAA (though they have filed counter suits) is in the business of making rules that go against established court rulings. The SEC (fear/hatred of LSU among its members) has up to this point been in that business.

I think our administration/slash political allies are DONE with the selective enforcement directed at LSU while other schools play QBs in their 6th year (SEC didn't fight that ruling), and the Bama GLeague dude from last year with Bama not being threatened by the league after that situation.

I'm just trying to read between the lines. I don't think I'm far off base with the above.

You're 100% correct. We had liberal "men" running things at LSU who bent over and took the SELECTIVE enforcement doled out by the NCAA, and to whatever extent at the time, the SEC.

We don't have thst problem currently.

She can't.

Statistically speaking, it's not.

Or did I miss the press release announcing the MUTIPLE YEAR, MULTIPLE BILLION dollar contract that was signed to broadcast college baseball?
