I mostly tweet about LSU football/basketball, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and poker. I once won the Flamingo 9 pm poker tourney 3 nights in a row without chopping!

HANAGRIFF: One of One A year ago, LSU didn’t want Will Wade.  More specifically, former Athletic Director Scott Woodward didn’t want Wade—now the Tigers are turning to him as the fastest path back to relevance in a program desperate for life. With built-in advantages, proven SEC success, and unfinished business... COLUMN($) ➡️ tigerbait.com/s/8094/hanagri…

@RamrodSb @Cauble @lsukent He coached at LSU for 5 years already. We’re very aware of what we’re getting with Wade.

@Cauble @lsukent Yall are going to go wild during game 1 when he gets a tech while up 20 on Grambling State. "That's that Will Wade bravado!" you'll say. Let me know if you want to know how the rest of the story goes.

@TrippBuhler Woefully underutilized by McMahon. Was hoping and remain optimistic Wade’s talent evaluation aligns with mine and he runs it back next year under a competent regime. He should have been playing 10 min+ a week game.

Well hurry up and continue breathlessly worrying about Will Wade. I’m sure Gainey appreciates the pathetic diversion presenting as a loser jilted ex instead of supporting him. I think it’s hyper important someone asks Gainey about Will Wade during his introductory press conference.

Justin Gainey is set to become the next NC State men's basketball head coach. Wolfpack AD Boo Corrigan wasted no time making the move following the abrupt departure of Will Wade. Here’s a look back: 247sports.com/college/north-…

@LupusBeowulf @PackInsider Better to spend your energy suing Wade, fantasizing about hiring the guy who he replaced as an assistant, and then focusing on next year’s team if you still have the mental resources. I think they call that misalignment.

The NC State Board of Trustees has announced it will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday, March 31 at 3 p.m. The meeting will be with the University Affairs Committee "to consider a personnel matter." 👀👀

@MERKE15 @davidwwilson @RCorySmith LSU hired character guy and former successful midmajor coach Matt McMahon and that turned out great for LSU basketball fans.nothing like winning less than 25% of your conference games.

@DSJburnerv2 A reason to thank Wade for improving NIL and notoriety. Your point is valid except it was Wade who chose to leave not the opposite. Between NIL and the buyout, Gainey way better financially set up than if Wade had never come.

3D chess by Boo Corrigan: Use Will Wade as the drummer boy to raise as much NIL $ possible then replace him with a guy who actually knows how to build a roster. Absolute cinema.

@JR__3 @davidwwilson @RCorySmith What’s the point of having contracts if you’re not going to enforce them? All he had to do was follow the protocols in the contract, he chose not to, so there are consequences.

@davidwwilson @RCorySmith I agree. The play here is tantrum like a baby and not think critically. Be as reactive and as emotional as possible. Def don’t move on. Gainey probably prefers this to drag out bc he wants justice too.

@JR__3 @RCorySmith I doubt many future coaches of the character we want to hire will care one bit. If they do, they’ve self selected out of our consideration pool.

@tuffycentral Schertz likely uses you as stepping stone if he was successful. Gainey better for longterm longevity with success, but if he sucks, it’s going to be a painful 3-4 years.

Justin Gainey has already raised more NIL than @Coach_WillWade That being said, what was Will Wade good at?

@big_boy_burns @Blitzer_8 @Coach_WillWade If you equal that bar next year with a first year coach it would be a win imo. I hope he doesn’t fall flat on his face like Matt McMahon did at LSU and usher in years of irrelevancy. That’s what happened to LSU post Wade.

@LupusBeowulf lol on keys to the offense. I hope you like a high pick and roll and then confusion to follow if that doesn’t work. That was the majority of what he ran. Hopefully another coach will be in charge of rebounding, hustle, and conditioning.

Crazy thought: I love the idea of hiring Matt McMahon under Gainey and giving him the keys to the offense. He’s available. He’s been a head coach. He had great offenses at Murray State. Yes he failed at LSU - but it was because of NIL disadvantages and bad injury luck.

@LupusBeowulf Also, I’m sure the last thing McMahon would want to do is follow Wade again.

What a simpleton take with NIL and injuries being the lone cause of his failure at LSU. He was 60-70 over 4 seasons playing cupcake nonconference schedule and 17-55 in the SEC. He won 3 SEC games in conference the last two seasons each. By all accounts, a nice guy, but a bad fit at LSU. The former athletic director who fired Wade and was motivated by hubris to cover for himself floated low NIL as the reason for his failure. This was supposedly addressed for the last season until the losses stated accumulating again and then NIL was again offered as a scapegoat. McMahon was unlucky with injuries the past season losing his pg and best players, but the die had already been cast from previous 3 seasons of complete irrelevance. He very well may be a great assistant coach and have success as a head coach in the future, but he was completely over his head and failed miserably at LSU.
