re: NIT forecast this morning (March 16)
Posted by rthomas628k on 3/17/24 at 7:08 pm
Man, all the hostility on W. Wade vs McMahon!
I kinda like to go with the “fan of LSU” vs. any 1 coach.
WW may be the better fundamentals coach, but he sure shite the bed on how he handled other aspects that go along with being a good BB coach!!! Such as: how to handle recruiting nuts & bolts...

re: ND forums are ablaze. For your viewing pleasure.
Posted by rthomas628k on 11/29/21 at 11:36 pm
Those old enough to remember the 1969 LSU season (& 1970 New Years Day bowl bids) would submit that poaching away ND’s coach is small retribution for what Norte Dame costs us that year.
Those not old enough to remember need to read up on it. And then run it by the butt-hurt ND fan blogs for comm...
re: LSU v. DePaul BB 1980
Posted by rthomas628k on 3/12/21 at 10:53 am
True. And even since 1981’s loss to Indiana, there’s been at least 3-4 others (and maybe more) where LSU BB team lost to ultimate National champions. 2 that come to mind would be Louisville in 1986 and N. Carolina in what, 2007/8! (The dreaded 8th seed awarded to ranked team who won the SEC regular ...
re: PP7 asks Saban about The Pick that Never Was
Posted by rthomas628k on 3/12/21 at 10:27 am
It was a bad call on the part of the review personnel, very bad. The ref on the field; can’t hardly fault the guy too much on a bang-bang call that really is/was a call where 2 ref’s were needed in order to make a call at all.
That is to say, no way 1 ref can watch for components of a “catch”, w...
re: Just went nuts for CEH
Posted by rthomas628k on 4/23/20 at 11:35 pm
And consider, even before the shocking pick as the 1st running back taken in the 1st round, he was routinely graded ahead of Cam Akers.
I wasn’t an Ed O. hater by any means, but had my doubts. One of the most impressive statements he ever made concerned the Akers/Etiene debacle that wasn’t, wher...

Well I gotta settlement check for $250,000.00 some time back with a good p/I lawya. The money was nice and all but it won’t bring my tooth back!!!
That was a skit from SNL back in the late 80’s/early 90’s. shite that was funny. Sad, but funny. ...
re: Does Ricky Blanton Jersey eventually get retired?

No offense but the Q almost smacks of racism, and Im a white dude!
Loved R. B. as much as the rest and the win against K. in Atlanta for the final four trip was special. But I can rattle off so many other guys who were superior BB players: I’d put Vernell up there ahead of R. B. , porn star or no...
re: When were you 100 percent certain they were winning it all?
Posted by rthomas628k on 1/24/20 at 6:35 pm
At about the 9:00 minutes left mark of 2nd half last Monday. I looked at my son and said “I think they’ve given up”! Talking about Clemson. I think we had the ball then.
But I was extremely worried at the 17-7 juncture and again at the 2nd half after they promptly held us; scored not only a conv...

re: If the LSU teams of 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2019 played each other in a playoff, who wins?
Posted by rthomas628k on 1/11/20 at 10:22 am
I’m gonna answer this around 11:00 pm Monday night.
Although I think this team is legendary in every respect, I think this opponent is equally as daunting. Even more so than the “2 Apple Bites” Bama team of 2011/12.
That’s the bigger question.and subplot by my way of thinking: “had this coac...
re: Who would go to game alone?
Posted by rthomas628k on 1/11/20 at 10:08 am
Excellent post and discussion. And very relevant to many of us.
Like another poster, gonna use the 2003 Arkansas game as a corollary.
I went with a group of people who had tickets but I didn’t. Figured I could find a loose one at stadium for reasonable $$$!
Found one, but it was not easy....
re: If we are truly an elite program, losing a coach isn't a big deal
Posted by rthomas628k on 1/11/20 at 9:45 am
Every accolade the guy gets is duly deserved. But the truth is, he’s likely the most easily replaceable coach on the staff. He can pass (a pun coming here) the offensive playbook off to an equally capable replacement with a damn jump-drive and a 45 minute chat at Starbucks.
What we don’t want is ...

Is it too late for us to cut him from the team! Slacker (and I realize we’re both just messin with the issue)
However, somewhat lost in the shuffle, is the quality of play by the wide receivers all year long in snagging balls that weren’t perfectly thrown. Usually underthown balls, but not alway...

He is the "Vernel Singleton" of LSU Football.
Good shout-out. Now, he just needs to don a Poki-Man band aide, or similar, on his ankle or somewhere to complete the transition.
(if you're too young to remember or know who Vernel was, he played on the Shaq and Chris Jackson BB teams.

And I want Cade York to finish on a tear, making 12 of 12 field goals against AR and ATM, including a long of 57 yards +, and win the "GROZA AWARD"!!!
Am I being greedy?...
re: Saban is a piece of trash.

Pretty long chain of posts and I've not read all. But it seems that if Nick had the opinion espoused, then all the more reason to not have the guy in the game under the circumstances. Failing a decision to yank 2-A at the critical juncture, you at least have him simply hand the ball off or run some ...
