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"

I give Wade a credit and a pass on this excuse. It opens a door across the board.

Marlin, you get the inbound ball.

Have to wonder if our 3 year rolling RPI of 138 that he refers to is the same excuse P5 schools also use in not wanting to play us, as Wade says the SEC won't allow them to. 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.

These were the our final RPI's (as per the NCAA archived data) for the last three years not counting this year.

2015 123
2016 145
2017 114

I would guess that would make our three year rolling average 127 and not 138, but maybe I'm not up on the new math they are teaching the youngsters these days.

Somebody needs to ask him what Alcorn States rolling RPI average is.

He may be talking about rolling RPI for Home and Home series.

According to Will Wade he had never heard of us until a few days ago.

I blame that on the Advocate's use of fake names.

I know I may be offending people with this condition, but Will Wade seems to have Asperger's syndrome.

When u going to be a smart -zz, you need to be smart. Wade said they scheduled Houston with a 127 RPI, BETTER THAN ULL. O oh.

[31Ragin97]

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

Oops

[ManAboutTown]

He may be talking about rolling RPI for Home and Home series.

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

[Million$Mullet]

Just saying maybe that’s what wade was insinuating since everyone wants to say what Bob was insinuating. I don’t give a ____ what fupa will says. They will make any excuse not to play us on a regular basis. Home and Home or not

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.

Not surprisingly the Baton Rouge media and New Orleans media along with folks in those areas are taking the Tigers point of view. Maybe that is because those media outlets are not reporting profanity was directed towards the Cajuns bench during the late timeout. They also are not reporting their fans called Stove and Bartley LSU rejects after they fouled out. If they knew those two young men they would be embarrassed for not wanting them in their group. I hope they reject a couple more like that and send them our way.
