Yeah, the Cubs had high hopes for him, the stuff was so good. But he just could not throw strikes.

Lol, nope, happily married for 44 years. There are things I love doing with the wife and things I'd rather not do, including spending hours shopping for clothes.
Same here, I've pouted enough the times way back when she tried to get me to go shopping with her that she found it very counterproductive to have me with her. It's worked out well for both of us ever since.

Best coaching job she has done since 2017..
I would agree, in recent years we have been regressing as the season goes, this season we seem to be improving.
Have not made the CWS since that 2017 year as you reference, and in fact have only made the Super Regional once in the past 4 years.
Pulling for Beth and the gals to make it back.

Yeah, I get the take that - he's right - we do want folks like him and need folks like him - but even in that context he proved to really not even be THAT guy. He should have stepped up and taken responsibility - and he didn't, therefore his little speech about honor, loyalty, code and responsibility ring hollow.
Killing a young man and covering it up and letting others take the fall for you does not save lives and strengthen a country.

Wade has much more money to shop with compared to Mac.....there are no excuses for not fixing the roster. Maybe Reece will be back.
Because he connected with folks who could help him fund the program in a way CMM could not an/or would now. For all the "CMM was not funded" I'll always follow that with CMM was complicit in that. Here at LSU for men's basketball you can't just be the coach, you HAVE to be the promotor and chief fund raiser.

You can’t blame Wade for the decision of the people that fired him to not give MM enough money to compete in the portal.
You can blame CMM for not actively fundraising to support his own program.

I heard they wanted Gene Hackman originally. I’m not saying that he’d be better, but I’d like to see the parallel universe where he does this role.
I have little doubt Hackman would have nailed the role as well. I agree would have been fun to watch them one after the other and see what two great actors brought uniquely to the role and to the scene.

The one thing off the court he has ever been right about and this is the example you pick? God damn right it should only be the Dale Brown Court.
Whatever anyone's feelings on this are - whether it should only be Dale, anyone at all or no one - I think Dale's reaction to it really surprised me - and I thought I knew and understood Dale about as well as any LSU fan out there. I honestly would have expected Dale to say something like, "I'd be honored to share the court name with Sue Gunter" knowing how Dale dealt with public things like this all his life.
But by all accounts he was really angry about it and that more than anything set off the chain reaction. He could have called off Brando and Collis and others......he didn't.
I, as with whether the court should be named after Dale in the first place, was pretty ambivalent about adding Sue as well. I would have slept well at night either way.

and if you recall there were some on the board who voted against Dale.
Oh absolutely, there was a reason it took so long to get it done in the first place. Dale was polarizing even at his height. The vindictiveness referenced in this thread was not confined to the NCAA and other coaches. There were plenty LSU officials who got a taste.

I think enough has come to light to remove his name from the court. Hope the new arena and Dale’s passing by then is the catalyst.
I was always pretty ambivalent about that when there were a lot of folks passionately stumping for the court to be named after him. I had no strong feeling one way or the other but some of the folks I grew up watching LSU hoops with were taken aback that I was not upset they had not done it.
I will say I was surprised to hear how angry he got when approached with the prospect of sharing the court name with Gunter. It on the surface seemed like one of the causes he would campaign for - as he often jumped in both feet for causes for the under-represented. I hear he was VERY upset.
I don't see them removing it as you say - but just as with doing it in the first place - could pretty much care less one way or the other. I'd be fine if they did and fine if they didn't.

I've met him numerous times, going back from when I was at LSU, to flying the LSU basketball teams to NCAA regionals, to being at his retirement celebration dinner in the PMAC, he's got a temper, and a short fuse, but the players loved playing for him because they knew he would literally go to the mats for them, and even though we only knew each other peripherally, he always treated me like a favorite son, VIP, and as if we were old friends, every single time I was around him
I met him a couple of times as a teenager, he was very gracious but I was a kid and a fan and he was good at turning on the charm in that setting.
The temper as you say, was real and it showed itself a good bit more than the things that came out publicly like the run in with the state policeman, the dorm showdown with Curley and the subsequent run-in at that a lady cop there, the reaction when they approached him about Gunter and he sharing the court name. The vindictiveness was real and could be pretty extreme and petty....the kind acts could be extreme too.
That was Dale.

But, as a person, he's been described by more than a few sources, back in his prime, as the most vindictive coach on campus. He basically went to war on Smoke, as a head coach, his jealousy being almost juvenile-like.
He allegedly kept a file in his office on almost anyone he had any sort of business with.
He did more good and kind and selfless things for folks than I'll ever do in my lifetime and he should be commended for that.
But yes, there are few folks that I've followed in my many years following sports that could be as vindictive as Dale - so you got both ends of the spectrum with him.
For those who have followed Dale from the beginning there is one common thread that drove him and made him who he was, and he constantly harps back on it - he did in the documentary - he painted his Mom as a very meek and humble person who was shite upon and taken advantage of by the system and by his father - and he spent his whole life fighting back against those perceived injustices done to his Mom by fighting anything that reminded him of it....and with passion and fire uniquely Dale.
As they say, passion is the true enemy of reason and that played out for Dale quite often.

Dale was awful on that.
Look, Dale was the only basketball coach I knew at LSU for my first 25 years of watching LSU hoops and his teams gave me some of my greatest memories in sports growing up and beyond.
But yeah, that show brought it all flooding back - the cringe stuff, the hyperbole, the exaggeration for effect, basically the Dale being Dale. I didn't come away telling folks - man - that was great - gotta watch it - like some folks did. I came away thinking that was the Dale I remember and I don't really want to re-live that. Just give me the on court highlights.

Yeah, I never was a big believer that Stans was a great bench coach. I think he was and is a bit overrated in that regard. Thought he was middle of the road average at best as an X and O guy.
