Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

You'll have to scroll to the top of the page to see the article. Here's his quote:
"The SEC has a rule that you have to play teams with a three-year rolling RPI. Who in here knows what ULL's three-year rolling RPI is? 138 - I'll save you the research. It was 138 going into this year.
"We have a home-and-home series scheduled with Houston, who was 127, better than ULL. We have a home-and-home scheduled with Memphis, 114, better than ULL. We have an upcoming series with VCU (Wade's previous coaching stop), 25, better than ULL.
"To talk about us being scared to start home-and-home series and playing against people is crazy. It's crazy. We schedule better teams than them based on the SEC scheduling formula"

Yet the SEC allows LSU to schedule Alcorn, Samford, UT Martin, UNC Wilmington, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston and N. Florida along with Michigan, Notre Dame, Marquette, Houston, and Memphis. UL scheduled Iowa, Clemson, Ole Miss, Richmond and Wyoming, along with Louisiana College, Nichols, McNeese, LA Tech, Savannah State, Loyola New Orleans, and SE Louisiana. He ridiculed our non-conference schedule, yet LSU's is not much better and certainly no one knows how those teams will perform when scheduled. The real schedule difference is in conference, SEC vs. SBC. He had to be freaking out with a one point lead and 1:30 left in the game. I would imagine a lot of pressure was put on him to NOT lose this game to UL. When it was clear he was going to win, he released the pent up tension and started his tirade that carried into the press conference. What a d-bag.

I guess Ole Miss doesn't have the same rules this year.....or Georgia last year.....or Alabama the year before.

Re: Will Wade blames the SEC for not scheduling us
Using Wade's "mandate" from the SEC, for future scheduling, at the time of his assertion, our three-year rolling RPI, including this year, is 110, not 138 - better than Houston and Memphis who get home-and-home - pretty sure he will need another excuse not to schedule Louisiana. Seriously, this is not a man of class.

If true; Knowing the roadblocks is half the battle.
Re: Will Wade blames the SEC for not scheduling us
Well, LSpoop is on peoples radar for that class of recruits coming in. No one going to tell me there is not funny business going on. Wait until other CUT THROAT sec coaches find out.. Lsu wont last because better cheaters wont stand for it.
Re: Will Wade blames the SEC for not scheduling us
Be careful. Emmert and the NCAA may get so mad at LSU that they put US on probation.

We catch the lies, but LSU and local fake media put their spin on it and nationally it is seen and accepted from LSU's spin and not ours.
