Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

[zephyr]

Who said anything about a home and home? Marlin just said we should play..

Well, Marlin kind of did. This whole thing started when he mentioned that they haven't played here in 73 years and that we should have hosted this game over LSU. The assertion is that he was insinuating that they were scared to play us in Lafayette.

There are voices and there are voices in ones head. Wade was listening to the voices in his head. Inner dialog some call it.

Be careful not to quote the voices in Wade's head.

So far, he’s been caught in about 36 lies..

The boy is a petulant child.... We are in his head and he does not have the maturity to act like a P5 coach... Mark this post... In 3 years a&m@br will be on probation for recruiting violations and Willie boy will have been caught with an intern

That’s assuming.. Weasel Wade did what pu-cees do.. He took a comment draped in facts and twisted it into something that would offend A&M nation.. Probably voted Hilary.

Probably. A&M is priming itself for a bit let down in basketball. The SEC coaches are going to abuse his ___. He’s too immature to be successful at a high level.

For various reasons I think this SEC Composite RPI requirement is a huge revelation.

Wish Benson would hire a consultant to get this league out of the dumpster..

Benson knows full well what scheduling requirements need to be made. The sad truth is that there are too many presidents, AD's and head coaches in this league who, if I may quote Lesticles, don't have enough chest to do it.

BMag, could we ask the MVC for basketball only membership? Just an idea..

FOOTBALL: AAC
BASEBALL: SEC
BASKETBALL: MVC or A10
SOFTBALL: PAC12

It could happen..

I have been communicating with a LSU beat writer in New Orleans who was kind enough to educate me further on the SEC part in Wade's remarks - the SEC does have a mandate about scheduling - SEC placed 8 teams in NCAA following this mandate. SEC hired former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese as a basketball consultant, who devised a plan of non-conference scheduling standards. Wade has the option to schedule Louisiana, he chooses not to

You should then ask the question - why did LSU schedule Samford, Tennessee Martin, UNC Wilmington, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston and N. Florida? That is comparable to the teams UL scheduled - LA College, Savannah State, McNeese, Nichols, Loyola New Orleans and SE Louisiana, something Wade ridiculed.

From an upgraded scheduling standpoint, LSU scheduled Michigan, Notre Dame, Marquette, Houston and Memphis while UL scheduled Iowa, Wyoming, Richmond, Ole Miss and Clemson. Hardly much difference in scheduling OOC games. The big difference in overall schedule is conference games.

So, LSU can play the likes of Samford, Tennessee Martin, UNC Wilmington, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston and N. Florida, but can't play UL because of our RPI? Total BS!

FUPA has a press conf at one. Hopefully, it is to talk about Utah.
