____ ___ I am going to use my failproof comment after the atrocity I just witnessed. I will wait until tomorrow to comment. One thing I can say now that I know will not change by tomorrow, ""The biggest monster and source of anger in this matter is the ncaa."

From TigerDroppings...

Reporter: Coach, what was the idea behind that last time out at the end of the game?

Wade: Well they don't get a chance to play us much, so I figured I would let them enjoy it a little bit.


____ LSU

This ____ right here is why you CANT lose that game..

I don't know what Marlin did or what Wade may have done. Did see Wade throwing F bombs, at the crowd I guess.

Both my wife and I saw that as well. Rather revolting.

First half, I think it was definitely coaching. The commentators mentioned it lots of times. We had very poor spacing and little movement on offense. Now, maybe that was just the team not rising to the moment, I don't know. But we made adjustments after half and every bit deserved to be in that game.

Anyone who doesn’t think coaching was our issue in this game doesn’t know what the ____ they are looking at..

[Cajunsmike]

we missed a lot of FT's tonight.

Only missed two. We just did not get there often enough.

[SlickRick]

Thats all they hire.... friggin (want to say the other word) douches.... This is why I didn't go tonight.... when their crowd started chanting LSU reject at a young man.... well I may be in the local jail right now..... Frig LSU

Which player were they saying that to?

Any one who says ULL has a stuttering problem

but the point is the game was not in Lafayette. we need to win games. period, no matter where they are played. to suggest we need to be at home in order to win is not good enough

The point is the game SHOULD HAVE BEEN in Lafayette. Our team worked all season to get shafted by seeding in the NIT. If this were a regularly scheduled game in Baton Rouge, sure. You've got a point. But guys like Washington, Bartley, and Stove busted ___ for years, and definitely all season, to be in a position to host LSU or some other major program in the Cajundome, to have that opportunity to play them in a place where you finally have the advantage, and it gets stripped away.

There were issues, I'm not saying this game was totally decided by being in Baton Rouge. Maybe the game is played in Lafayette and LSU still comes out with a 2 or 3 point win. But in a game where one bounce of the ball can decide victory or defeat, every advantage you can get counts, and that we're never in a position to use those advantages despite spending 30+ games this year earning them because the NCAA is inherently slanted to favor power schools with the most financial backing is why we're talking about what we're talking about.

Actually 4 - 15 for 19

[ultracajun]

I'm sure pull-up boy Will Wade will get a good talking to tomorrow about how he made too much out of this game.

[VObserver]

This ____ right here is why you CANT lose that game..

That is also why you don't talk trash before a game. Marlin gift wrapped this game for LSU by being classless and talking ____ in the media for the last week.

looks like it was actually 4. but that's a lot less than what I was feeling at was at the time. prisoner of the moment I guess
