You can say this or that but that beat everyone that season with a mediocre defense.


That LSU defense didn't even sniff mediocre. If they had, who knows what the outcome may have been.

This is probably our last chance at a win for a few games. Next two are @UF @Arky.



Yep, really needed to have 3 wins minimum before those games if they expected to have a shot of being solidly in the tournament. Now I think they either need a McMiracle finish to the season to be any better than an iffy bubble team. And more likely, they will not even get an NIT bid.

Honestly, I do not really want another season like this, so I think I would prefer that McMahon is gone regardless of whether he makes the tournament. Of course, you know me, my inner sunshine pumper may take over if the team goes on a run. I'm just tired of being let down, even if there are good excuses for some (definitely not all) of the letdowns. But I still find myself incapable of pulling for the Tigers to lose.

:cheers:

Here is a chart of the SEC teams' NET rank data in ranked order, and a second of KenPom data in ranked order, for anyone who is interested at the relative data and rankings.

If the drama at OM wasn’t resolved in time, does he get an extension of sorts, since he declared his intention to enter well ahead of the deadline, ya reckon?



He had until midnight to notify the school that he wanted to enter the portal, as I understand it. He did that. The school not submitting it is a whole other issue.

I read that the deadline to sign to a school is based on the Spring semester enrollment deadline by the college where they mutually agree to sign.. Otherwise, they would have to enroll in the summer semester.

Not sure what the deadline is for the LSU Spring Semester?


The deadline to sign is whenever, but to participate in spring practice with the team, you have to be enrolled. LSU has three spring semesters. The regular spring semester and the first accelerated spring semester have a deadline of January 22nd, I think. The second accelerated Spring semester has a deadline of March 20th, I think.

Jeff Landry is from St. Martinville, and his wife is from New Iberia. I don't think either has ever lived in Lafayette.

And she is definitely more attractive than that lady :lol: :cheers:

Can't wait for baseball season! See you in the game threads, my man.

I do wonder how this works mechanically, because the NCAA says they have to enter his name within 48 business hours. But the portal closes in 4 hours.

Does he miss out on the portal and have to unenroll?


You can't enter your name; the school has to. I think you simply have to notify the school you wish to enter the portalby the prescribed date and time. I think.

That would eliminate a lot of our high-profile athletes and a large chunk of the team. :lol:

bullshite!!! The best fundraiser is winning championships….


Is that why Oregon has so much money? A&M? You need to think more rationally. This is something Woodward excelled at. Not just here. I know you hate Woodward, but it can still be true that he has always been an exceptional fundraiser; he has tons of contacts with deep pockets, and he is very good with people who donate, on a personal level.

He was generally well-liked by the high-dollar boosters. Fortunately, so is Verge, probably even more so.

Plus, how many championships did LSU win during his tenure? I think 6, 4 by folks he hired, though one was an elevation of a coach that was on staff before he got here.

It's OK to think Woody needed to go because he made some hiring mistakes that should have cost him his job, and still acknowledge what he did well in other areas.
Agreed. Here is the original from back in Ed O's days at Ole Miss

:lol: I almost posted that one.
My concern was only that Woodward was probably the best fundraiser we had had in that office. He had connections and could ply money out of them. Elevating Verge was a good move, though, because he has moved in those same circles for years now, and he is probably on par with Woodward.

There is a lot more to being an AD than hiring coaches; most of it is not very visible, though. And hiring coaches is what will get you fired quicker than anything except maybe embezzling funds or the Edwin Edwards doomsday scenario of getting caught in bed with a dead girl or live boy.

Most folks have moved on now; you probably should, too.

I would imagine you have to wait out the spring semester and enroll in the summer which means you wouldnt be going through a lot of offseason workouts and spring practices but I could be wrong



Not really, they can enroll in the second accelerated spring session by March 20th. I think the last date for the regular spring season is January 22nd.
