Auburn and Tennessee are both football schools that are competitive in baseball and basketball . That’s what this whole topic is about and what people can’t seem to realize LSU can also do instead of picking baseball or basketball . It’s not a either / or it’s a want to be good at both which is very achievable while still realizing football will get most of the attention

The only part of the fanbase that wants to “ignore basketball “ are the baseball first fans . They view it as a legit threat to their prize baseball program . At some point our administration is going to do the obvious thing and do what every other school in the SEC has done and start investing tons of resources into the basketball program . It makes no sense not to , with the conference now becoming the premier basketball league in the country . Most good schools realize you can be good at all 3 of the major sports , and we have it easy as we are already established in baseball, which is the most difficult to get going as it has by far the least amount of interest in most fanbases. But the fact is we have a small portion of the lsu fanbase that wants a bad basketball program and was glad to see Wade get fired and is OK with McMahons results bc the threat of basketball becoming number 2 is over for the time being . At some point that will change , it’s just a matter of when

It actually wouldn’t be an embarrassment at all . Most teams have higher expectations than NIT , and there were numerous teams that declined last year . It gives you a chance to start figuring out your roster for next year and finding out who is coming back and who is not . What’s more embarrassing is having guys know they aren’t coming back and deciding not to play and losing by 30 to a nobody . It’s time to end this season and figure out what next year brings

Chest , Vyc miller , Mike Williams are long gone . Chest isn’t hurt

Heard from multiple reliable sources vyc miller and chest wont be back next year . So im skeptical of how hurt they actually are

Chest would thrive in a system like Houston or A & M . He was recruited hard out of high school by Houston and also is from New Orleans and went to the same prep school as Chris Cenac . Wouldn’t surprise me to see them come after him

Rob miller looks like a different guy . Really like his strides this year

Oh it means a whole lot as long as the same guy is in charge , money won’t mean much

Oh I totally agree , I’m just saying the as far as I’m hearing the staff thinks they are getting next year

The talent is more than fine . One thing’s McMahon has actually done a good job of is getting players . The fact we have been this uncompetitive is worrisome and proves McMahon maybe can’t handle a job like this . I think we need to move on after this year , but I do think we have been coached a better these last couple games . Still don’t think it’s enough to warrant another season
