You can’t honestly make me think Yorke won’t crush one onto Nicholson before the year ends.

I Missed These Midweek Meltdowns
Posted by tadelatt on 2/24/26 at 9:57 pm
I’m feeling so nostalgic. It feels like Paul Manieri came back and was coaching us again.
Remember those days? When we would lose midweek games and posters would meltdown trying to convince fans that they were watching the end of LSU baseball or that we wasted money on stadium additions that will destroy us now that we lost a game on Wednesday night to La Tech
I miss those days

Even with those accolades, LSU fans will never cheer for Gators. When Alabama and Florida play each other I put on ESPN8 and watch Dodgeball
Quick question: after really watching dodgeball today, How the frick do these guys make these teams and end up on ESPN? The games are mostly them not dodging the ball or not even knowing that you have to catch it with your hands not your body.

How can you consistently bring in talented recruits, be ranked in the top 25 and yet still end up this bad? Coaching

LSU hasn’t missed the NCAA tourney for 5 straight seasons since 2010-2014
This year will be 5th

I have played basketball and then coached it my entire life. It’s mathematically impossible for LSU to be this bad when we have Top 25 Recruiting Classes and Transfers. We get more talent than most of the SEC schools that have more wins each year than we do.
It’s coaching. His style doesn’t match the way we play down South and it’ll never work

Let’s not forget the classes he has signed…
2023: 47th (2 4-Star)
2024: 14th (3 4-Star)
2025: 32nd (4 4-Star)
So it’s not bad luck. He is bringing talent in plus this isn’t even including the Transfer Portal

Yeah, plus he can either quit coaching or once he signs elsewhere, we deduct that new contract from the buyout. Mitigation clause

Yeah but that ain’t your Gen-Z Vols.
Besides, they play #2 UCLA, Arizona State and Virginia Tech next weekend. (16-2 combined records there)
But it’s still good that Kent State won cause we haven’t played anyone yet lol

They don’t have a choice. If you coached 12-Year Old All-Stars and had these numbers the parents of the kids would petition to keep you from entering the parish.
We would be better off with no coach

It’s just not working out. LSU made a mistake and it’s time to pay him and move on. LSU will not fold if they have to pay that man his remaining

His Contract Buyout Terms (thru 2028-29 season) says that he gets 80% of his Annual Base ($400k) plus 80% of Supplemental (Climbs to $3 million in 2028-29) so estimates are around $7.5 to $10 million.

To prove it, a report in 2024 ranked just college football schools by NIL money they used
NC State - $218 million
LSU - $618 million
NC State - $218 million
LSU - $618 million
NC State cannot compete with LSU in NIL

I just think a lot of keyboard coaches and Monday morning managers love to question pitching.
Last year was rare, so was 2023.

Wade didn’t ruin anything at LSU. He was changing the culture.
Do you honestly think John Calipari got all those kids to commit to play for him because he was KENTUCKY?
It helped, but he was better at not getting caught.
Will Wade got treated shitty. LSU should have had his back but instead tried to save face to protect a basketball program that is a perennial 15-1 before SEC play
Not only that, they suspended him in 2019 when we just won the SEC and were a 3 seed fo the tourney. They fricked him over cause nothing happened with that case until 2022. They panicked and then got him to redo his contract and reinstated him.

To be fair, the SEC is a slugfest with 75% of the league ranked. They don’t need to play powerhouses to start the season. It would be fun to see but Houston and Rice are nowhere near the caliber of SEC talent. It also is only one game so the RPI bump is minimal either way.
Good example…Milwaukee is 0-4, Nicholls is 0-6, Indiana is 1-4, our RPI is 110, SOS is 212
We are ranked 1 across the board and will be until we lose a couple games
