But you dickwads
I have a sports almanac and I looked it up and it says those guys are in fact dickwads

I like a good, civil, debate.
You've taken the position that LSU was the second lowest NIL funded team in the SEC last season, or at least one of the lowest funded teams, based upon the report that came out at the end of last season. Then you say...
You're correct. I don't have the hard data proving LSU wasn't one of the lowest funded teams last season. But the inverse is also true. You don't have the data that they were. The reason is because that data doesn't exist because NIL figures are based upon speculation and conjecture. I can't prove the negative with a "smoking gun" just like you can't prove the affirmative claim with a "smoking gun". So the debate is left to circumstantial evidence.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I appreciate your evidence that LSU was one of the lowest funding team is limited to: (a) the reports stating such that came out at the end of last season and (b) the hypothesis that the only explanation for all of the losing is a lack of funding.
I've given you circumstantial evidence/arguments to suggest reason for skepticism of the report (largely the timing and the source of the report.) But for the sake of discussion, let's take the position that significant NIL spending automatically = winning. That is the suggestion, right? That McMahon would have been winning for the last 3 seasons but for "LSU" not providing him with enough money to do so?
Taking that position and going across the street we recall that before this past football season much was made about LSU big NIL investment. One that resulted in LSU signing the #1 ranked transfer class (or at least one of the top 2 or 3 depending upon your ranking service). Yet, despite the significant NIL investment...that was much reported BEFORE the start of the season, LSU's on field results didn't correspond if NIL = winning. So there had to be some other reason for the insufficient results, right? Fans blamed poor coaching. Yet, somehow poor coaching can't be considered as a cause for losing in basketball?
That's where I think much of the argument lies. There seem to be a handful that refuse to consider maybe the reason LSU hasn't won is simply because McMahon is a poor coach. It wouldn't be the first time losing resulted from poor coaching. In fact, over the last several decades LSU has fired a LOT of coaches because they believed the insufficient results were due to poor coaching. Most recently 3 months ago when LSU fired the HC of (reported) one of the highest funded rosters in the nation.

Losers like you who have no life but to bitch and complain on here speak for themselves. And NIL has everything to do with winning these days.

Bill Parcells: "Your are what your record says you are."
Everything else is bullshite and excuses.
You are taking an extreme example of being at Southeastern. McMahon is at LSU, where Wade showed just prior to his underachieving arse taking over how it can be done here.
A few of you on here like to give out participation trophies, and that's truly sad.
If Randy Livingston hadn't torn his knee up twice, I TRULY BELIEVE Dale would have kept LSU rolling another decade.
But he did have the injuries, and what I TRULY BELIEVE would have happened doesn't mean jack.
What happened is what happened. Dale bombed out shortly after that, PERIOD.
By the way, as a young tigah in the 80s, I loved Dale Brown, and it still bothers me he didn't win at least one title. His best team was in 1981, and I also TRULY BELIEVE with a healthy Macklin, we win it in Philly.
Guess what?? It doesn't matter. We lost to Indiana. The result is the result.
One last thought: ain't in funny how the better coaches seem to have good luck, and the losers constantly get excuses made for theim???

this is not my position, nor was it ever, and if I said so (I don't think I did) I was mistaken.
my position is that I don't know the NIL numbers, I know what I have heard and I can neither confirm nor deny those numbers, and I have found your attempts to deny them unconvincing.
for example you claim that if the numbers were whatever, we would know about it. I dunno that to be true.

I don't claim to have any evidence. my claim is that neither of us have evidence.
unless we are calling the claims heard through media evidence, which I guess by definition it is, albeit not very credible evidence maybe. I dunno how credible it is.
again my claim is that I was told the NIL was low and now it isn't. its indisuputable that this is the claim we heard.
now, I also noticed that the team appears more talented. it seems possible this can be attributed to better funding. maybe not tho.
let me repeat, my claim is not that anything we heard about NIL was true, my claim is that your rejection of those claims is not credible either.
quote:
I've given you circumstantial evidence/arguments
indeed you have. I don't find it credible.
quote:

well for the sake of argument and your premise, that is the suggestion, but its not the argument I am making. I am arguing something you don't disagree with, that winning is easier with more cash. you may remember I made the example of the dodgers earlier, where my claim is not that the dodgers are the best coached team, but the best funded.
quote:

it can, maybe McMahon is shite. I don't know. I think most critics are not as sophisticated s they think they are and will also attribute errors to McMahon that are not valid, like claiming chest needs more playing time, when chest is actually a net negative that cant shoot and McMahon knows this better than fans do, being in practice and better at analysis.
quote:

not me I am exactly and precisely the biggest will wade fan on earth and have no particular affinity for McMahon. I just haven't found many of the naysayers arguments credible.
I read your points about Shea dixon and all that and I don't find it convincing.
I think everything about college sports just changed, and now funding is the most important thing. X's and Os are maybe less important than jimmies and Joes.

I know nothing about football but my smart friends told me the failure was based on hiring the wrong offensive linemen.

I am not making that claim.
I am now turning on the coach McMahon show. live from Thomas Jefferson ribs.
I hope he says DJ Thomas is healthy.

Remember a couple weeks ago where you replied to someone else saying ‘told ya’ in 100% the wrong context and then spent the rest of the thread trying to act like it didn’t happen?
That’s about to take place again.

Legitimately stupid people that embrace mediocrity in every facet of their life have to make up bullshite to attempt to distract others from their stupidity.

My point was we went 7-9 after Pinson’s injury.
