MBB Final: Louisiana 73, GSU 84

[Scott Malkinson]

Sounds like Marlin needs to learn to shut his mouth unless his team can back it up. How many times has he opened it and looked like a fool when he cannot deliver?

My GOD, how can we not move on from this idiot?

He should have been terminated after saying something like that. You insulted a top 15 team who funds 80% of the athletic department.

Well, if there were any resemblance of fans who might've been on the fence with the program; they definitely jumped off after that statement.

No excuses for saying something like that.

When Dimond sports are taking in double the revenue as your basketball programs you have a huge problem

They should take 80% of his salary and move it over to Napier’s

Basketball is dead in the Deep South.

Basketball is dead in the Deep South.

So is the excitement and passion our fans have for our program (outside of a handful)

Every other team in our conference plays in the same region as we do. Making the tournament final once in 11 years has nothing to do with basketball being dead in the Deep South as much as it does us underachieving and being average. And the last time I checked, our coach said himself that the SBC West is tougher in basketball than in football (LOL!!!!- SBC West teams went 2-6 in the conference tournament).

The spin and propaganda wore itself out two years ago. Now, it's free entertainment for the majority of the fan base to laugh at.

Yep. This season was not the first time, and he's in the end had failure right after running his mouth. Keep it shut and worry about your job.

Last financial report I looked at did not indicate that diamond sports were taking in more than men's basketball. Do you have some data you are referencing or are you just assuming?

No its not

[Big Buds]

No its not

If it’s not it’s damn near on life support. There is nowhere near the support or interest there was twenty years ago. On the other hand, college baseball has sky rocketed in that timeframe.
