It's the one he got when he promised his team he would get one if they made some milestone - maybe the NCAA BERTH. I think it's something with the state of Louisiana and maybe a 🌶 or a 🔥 Flame.

People talk about hate. That was hate.

Yup. Darth Vader level of hate.

Still remember the time Lamar was out of time outs so Tubbs got the refs to look at nails in the floor supposedly coming out. Paschal then pulled the same move when the ball was ready to put in play. Classic Blackham.

Of course, that was small-time basketball back then, kinda like those Shipley teams that Willis said wouldn't even get a whiff today from the NCAA's.

I wonder how many fans were in Blackham the night Tubbs pulled that one? You recall?

Capacity. Lamar had the three stooges...Davis, Key and Olivier.

Our at large team, nope, would not make it today. UTPA, Stetson and teams like that would kill our SOS today. That’s 4 games not counting the non D-1 games that would be SOS killers. We passed the eye test back then.

I’ve posted my position twice...last year’s brackets. People have their opinions set and nobody is changing. Akin to piz zing into a box fan.

Who they were yesterday, much like us back then is entirely different from how programs perform today. They were much better then, than they are today. My opinion is that same UL team, along with Marquette, Georgetown and a few others we defeated back then were much better during those eras'. Georgetown was much more a national power during the John Thompson era than what they are today. While I agree under today's system that UL team wouldn't sniff an at large invitation, it certainly would be better than every team in our conference today including our 27 win team last year. JMO

So since I’m supposed to bring all of the negativity into this thread, I will say this.

Tonight sucked. The end.
