1.fanbase

The fanbase only cares abt football and baseball. They will come sell it out one time a year against a big opponent and if we lose their gone. The dude dressed up in a gah damne general suit just to
try and get fans in the stands. I mean how much does LSU have to win for the fan base to buy in?

2. LSU officials

LSU basketball is at least 3rd in priorities in terms of sports. Pmac is outdated, our facilities suck arse!! Look at the rest of the sec and what there doing (auburn, Alabama, Arkansas) all new facilities.. when you INVEST into winning your gonna win. Nope we would rather add 5 mill to our football program whose barely made it to 6 wins the past two years. LSU basketball is on the back burner and it’s obvious. I mean rightfully so since our fanbase isn’t as bought in and it’s all about the money.

Which brings me to my point on some of you clowns saying we can do better than wade?? Can we really tho, after what I just stated above? Believe Wade wanted out anyway, was tired of the lack of support from our officials and the fanbase. Imagine going to the tourney for 3 years in a row, winning an sec title, finishing top half in conference every year and then going to practice in your shite arse facility and you look across the street at a mult million dollar facility. Would that piss u off??

Now Can someone come into this basketball program and consistently make the tourney and recruit top talent like wade did? Past history deff screaming NO!! Wade made the tourney 4 years in a row, sweet 16 his second year after inheriting a team who went 2-16 in conference (worst LSU conference record ever) finished top 4 in conference the last 3 years (only team to do so in the sec those 3 years) Won an sec championship! John brady only made the tourney 4 times in 11 years. I would say improvement right?? He brought a CONSISTENT winner which we haven’t had since dale brown. It’s baffling to me that all you fans think LSU basketball is juggernaut and that we’ve been underachieving lol. shite we’ve been underachieving since Daddy dale l, he couldn’t win with nba rosters lol

He cheated and there’s no denying it, but he did some special things in those 5 years with a handicapped program and weak support system. Get ur fingers crossed because I just don’t see how Scott is gonna find better. Back to tuba player days we go

Also piss poor decision by Scott to fire wade a week before the tourney. Basically threw in the towel and told our kids to kick rocks. All for what?! To save a few dollars (for football) and save some scholarships for our shitty team we’re abt to have in the next few years lol. That was wrong

Bc we think 1 sweet 16 appearance in 5 years is worth recruiting violations.

Summary of what you said...lack of administrative support is the reason.

30 years ago LSU baseball was a joke. Nobody attended the games nor could care less about the sport. A man named Skip Bertman came along and won a boatload of titles. LSU became a baseball school.

One day LSU will hire a great coach for basketball. Win a bunch of titles. Then turds like you will talk about how we are a basketball school and how LSU will never be a baseball school!

Should be high up the list:
Students
- spirit hands and hand waving distractions on our own team shooting free throws. IQ as low as our PGs.

It pissed me off when Wade, who had been paying players out of his personal account, using a phone to text kids about money, known to be recorded talking about paying kids money, goes and tells the media that our facilities are in disrepair.


There is enough fan support for LSU basketball.

The fans showed up to watch a team that grossly under performed this season.

Wade has set this program back years now with his numbskulled violations. Literally mind numbingly dumb behavior. Now WE, the fans of LSU have to deal with the fallout.

Wade acted like a prima dona too. He stuffed the admin when they wanted to talk to him. He was reportedly aloof to others in the admin including Woody.

So good riddance. LSU will clean it up. All you wade fans will be gone soon anyway. LSU forges ahead.

LSU was on it's way to sustained basketball success for the first time in decades. The problem is definitely the administration at LSU just doesn't care enough about basketball to invest real money in it

Never? We’ve been one before. With the right pieces we can be one again.

I don’t want LSU to be a basketball school. I just want them to regularly be at the top of the SEC regular season, win the SEC tournament every once and a while and make a run at the final four every 5 or so years and walk away with a title every 8-10 years.
