You’ll get a lot of downvotes because you’re being critical of the team, but you’re right!


There is a difference between critical and negative. Most of you “critics” act like LSU is the only team with flaws. There’s no super team this year.

If it comes out that the league has been actively rigging the draft / player trades / etc, what happens to the value of those teams. If I'm the owner of the Pelicans, I probably have $1 - $1.5 billion reasons to keep my mouth shut and just go along.


Alternatively they could sue to recoup lost revenue/value :dunno:
Of course that’s just the owner what about the GM coach scouts that get fired? Why wouldn’t they say anything, ever?

:lol: that’s not exactly how it works and 3 of the last 4 teams left are Minnesota, Indiana and OKC/Denver.

As always something like rigging the NBA draft every year some one would leak it

According to goobers on the internet it’s “known” :lol:

Of course we all know that


:lol:

Why would the teams that lost out go along with it?

Also it’s amazing how it’s only the drafts where the top pick worked out never the ones it didn’t

If the 3 seed beats the 4 seed people cry conspiracy:lol:
So what would show it’s not “fixed”? someone has to get the #1 pick. Seems like there is a narrative regardless of who get the pick. Also no one has ever been able to explain why they “fixed” it for San Antonio to get Tim Duncan rather than Boston :lol:

The vast majority of baseball sportswriters are extreme leftists soyboys, if anything this will make them more adamant to not let Rose in.


I realize facts are nothing that matters in Trumpland but Rose signed an agreement to be banned the writers had nothing to do with it.
Funny I did not hear any Pelicans fans claiming it was “fixed” when they got Zion :lol:

Ive never seen any conspiracy theorists explain why the 1997 lottery was rigged to get Tim Duncan to San Antonio instead of the freaking Boston Celtics :lol:

Cotton Bowl works too, closer to SMU. We have not played there since 1963.


LSU played Texas in 2003 Cotton Bowl in the Cotton Bowl stadium

If you don’t think we would be in worse shape without the Shough pick, you are being exceedingly egotistical.


This “thought” process shows a stunning lack of any kind of critical thinking. Like it never occurred to you there are alternatives beyond just drafting Shough at 40 or not drafting him at 40. You are just lapping up what is being served. First of all we can’t possibly know if the Saints are better or worse off with Shough because we don’t know the alternatives, they could have drafted someone else or signed or traded for a veteran.
How does Carr retiring make picking an older QB that’s been injured a better value? I would have preferred waiting on a QB. Sanders fell to the 5th would not have wanted him earlier but damn the 5th? Ewers went in the 7th, Howard or McCord all fliers worth taking over Slough at 40

Other than last year when injuries derailed the season it is correct. Had Carr not been injured in Green Bay or Grupe made the FG Saints re in and Baker boy is home in January.


I always forget the Saints are the only team that has injuries :lol:

Put another way the roster master GM Mickey assembled could not even make the playoffs with one of easiest schedules in the league in one of the weakest divisions ever. :casty:

My word are some of so intent on your negativity you can’t see the forest for the trees :lol: playing this game would do nothing for LSU except hurt their RPI. However the game is being canceled because of the weather. It’s really easy to say they should risk it when you have zero responsibilities

You know what makes your RPI drop? Losing a series to an unranked team whose fanbase blows more than just bubbles


If you are going to troll at least understand what you are talking about. Texas A&M has an RPI of 35, Grambling 276. We dropped from 8 to 9 but looks like that’s because Oregon St moved from 10 to 7 not because we lost 2 to A&M. #7 Clemson and 9 UNC also dropped 1 spot.
