LSU/UL NIT matchup

[UncleCajun]

The nothing to gain argument is about their pride and ego, not basketball. It’s just like any other basketball game, you can gain a win, which is a win (not a loss), or a loss (which is a loss).

The nothing to gain argument is further struck down using all of Wades numbers (which he conveniently had memorized for the post game conference, as if it wasn’t preplanned or anything). What it comes down to is they are scared what a loss would do to their pride

Since you enclosed Wade's memorization of the 3-year rolling RPI, I will reiterate he miscalculated the Rolling RPI - it was 127, not the 138 he reported to the press, and next year it will be 110 - you won't see this in TigerDroppings or the Morning Advocate - want to guess how many LSU beat writers followed up on this?)

which by coincidence I guess is the exact rolling average of Houston given by Wade - 127. WOW

I was there... Robe's team caused nothing... We had dared to beat them and they had to come back and win two... which they did... Walley Pontiff, glorified in tiggger country, throws a bat into our dougout... Robe, like Marlin, simply stood up "for the name on our uniforms.. That's what Marlin was doing... Probably not a popular opinion on RP at the moment, but Marlin rose quite a few notches in my book by standing up to the bully..

And that's what they are.... Forget this "big brother" BS... Big Brother implies family... they are not my family... They are the 15 year old 180 pound fat boy in the 5th grade bullying his classmates

Robe don't buy-in... Marlin don't buy in...

I believe it was Arron Hills bat that went into the dugout.

First of all... we (the UL fan base) haven't been the least bit obsessed with playing LSU. Marlin has requested being scheduled, and that was all he noted... they aren't interested. As for Wade and the SEC rolling average RPI... it certainly is a guideline for scheduling. It is what they've been consulted to do in order to maintain RPI. But to pretend it's a hard and fast rule... is bogus. Some of the scheduling deals were done years in advance of the meetings. RPI can plummet in a year. It can skyrocket in a year... or even mid season.

If we cannot get a home and home... I wouldn't bother. And it isn't going to happen.

But one thing to say about Wade... I remember when Skip Bertman started scheduling us in baseball. I was already living in BR. There were influential fans furious that he "showed us respect". Bertman... a great coach and man... also an egomaniac... told every one of them... including Joe Dean... to Please and let him decide who he plays. He chastised LSU fans for worrying about who LSU plays... especially "ULL". He had the iron stones to play and take it like a man. And the greatest sports dynasty at LSU existed under him. Wade is a punk. He's a child punk. We gave him the stage to act like a punk... and he did it. He's no Skip Bertman. And although I know what's he's accomplishing in recruiting... I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he doesn't ____ in his own mess gear before his time at LSU is done. He's a punk. And punks are going to punk more than once.

So why does LSU baseball play at in-state schools? Seems to work out just fine for them. Meanwhile, Wade is ordering his cupcakes from out of state.

Because... in the extremely simple math of RiverRanchRat...

Bertman >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wade

Also, LSU baseball has way more gonads than LSU basketball

Many more games to play and need for midweek short travel scheduling opportunities

UL has more regularly been competitive in baseball as opposed to basketball

[LaCajunsFan]

Called a time out to talk $***, and then he turned to the crowd and said F*** them F*** them, and then Will Wade showed his _____ in his press conference. Show the real class from LSU.

We need to do everything we can to compete with this so called Flagship University.

I give Marlin a lot of credit in his post game, he said “he will run his program , and we will run ours.”

Just to confirm, huge butt Wade not only turned to the crowd and waved his arms, he also was saying
'F*** them F*** them' ???

And was it the students that were booing our cheerleaders and throwing things at them? I have a friend ..... from the other side ...... that is denying those things. I saw him waving his arms like a maniac, but did not hear him say that. Is it on a clip? Thanks.

I believe it was Arron Hills bat that went into the dugout.

You are correct. I was there. Aaron Hill threw the bat at the Cajuns dugout... intentionally. It all started when LSU hit a homerun and stared into the Cajun dugout. His next at bat, he was plunked for it. All normal baseball. But Aaron Hill gets up to bat and slings his bat... and don't let anyone tell you it wasn't intentional... I was there... and I replayed it to many LSU folks with a doubting mind... the footage wants to be hidden. Hill takes a step back to make sure he's in perfect position to toss the bat at the dugout... as he doesn't even take a good cut at the pitch... allows him to sling his bat at the Cajun dugout. That was the classless move of the game. Don't let anyone... including this RiverRanchRat character... distort the facts. Aaron has even laughed in the company of others that were praising him for the deed. Pitchers plunk hitters that celebrate. You DO NOT intentionally throw at bat at the dugout of the opposing team.

So this guy could definitely play for Will Wade if he had any eligibility left!!!!
