@jontweetssports Coach O and Coach Les won at LSU. Reasonably decent recruiting and football runs itself. I’m not as optimistic about Wade but LSU finished bottom of the conference 3/4 years and still turned a profit. The only year Wade missed the ncaas was the year the tourney didn’t happen.🤷‍♂️

Will Wade is 5-8 in NCAA Tourney games. Lane Kiffin has never coached a CFP game as a head coach. Both have been head coaches since their early 30s & have won nothing to warrant this kind of money. Good luck, LSU.

The Will Wade debacle has brought UNC Tar Heels fans and Duke Blue Devils fans together in defending NC State.... Never thought I'd see such a beautiful sight ➡️ Momentary truce 🥲

Regular reminder that America has no *national housing shortage* in the diffuse, location-agnostic sense You need a house <$120k? We've got millions The regulatory shortage is *inherently spatial*: It is exclusively in zoned urban areas near good jobs & good amenities

@frankiesfight @KaareJohnson They’re called midges Termites live underground, not in water.

@KaareJohnson Yikes. You have termites swarming now?

Lots of little bugs on Lake Pontchartrain at night time. Got clocked last night coming across the Causeway. Going to the North Shore during daylight hours, not a bug on the windshield. Coming back at night, got shellacked. After my washer fluid ran out I barely made it across the bridge being able to see through my windshield. When I pulled into the Exxon station on Causeway at West Esplanade, there were a dozen other cars already pulled in, drivers scraping bugs off their windshield. Crazy amount of bugs

@PackInsider Keep thinking

Thinking about the Will Wade situation. The national media is ripping him. The coaching community is ripping him. His narrative is collapsing because his timeline doesn't hold up, and because he's likely had his old house on hold for 3 years. His public image is taking a beating. And every parent of every kid being recruited to LSU is going to see this. What type of recruits are actually going to commit there after this? Sure, you can try to buy your way out of it, but you're still going to end up with guys willing to trade loyalty for cash. Build an entire roster of that type of player and yeah, you make the tournament, but you'll never sniff a trophy.

@steve_hanke @TweettheSouth Nationalize it

President Trump says that “we don’t need the Hormuz Strait. We have so much oil, our country is not affected by this.” TRUMP = CLEARLY UNHINGED = HAS LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY.

@joeovies Escape to a superior conference.

Resignation email aside, I can tell you with extreme confidence that Duke & UNC factored into his decision to escape back to LSU.

@brianonorio Not sure “our coach left for a worse program in a worse state with less money and less opportunities,” is the flex you think it is.

Want to be fair to my newfound LSU following. Here’s a comparison of NC and LA: Barbecue v. Crawfish: Q wins Per capita GDP: NC Academic rankings: NC State Hoops Natties: NC State Electoral votes: NC Beaches: NC Mountains: NC Mud puddles and oil refineries: LA

@SpicyNachos86 @NickStevensHS “Football school in a football conference.” Check the year bro.

@NickStevensHS Could not handle a real basketball environment so he crawled back to a football school in a football conference…such courage 😒🙄

One thing that has become clear about Wade: he’s not fearless. His antics are an act. He’s all bark, no bite. He ran from the challenge of going head-to-head with Duke & UNC. He quit by email. He wanted somewhere with less pressure to win. He got it. NCSU will be better for it.

@WJOX945 @3ManFront This the dude who punched a lady?

Coach Wimp Sanderson didn't hold back 😂 @3ManFront | #CollegeBasketball #CBB

@BarstoolPack @wallaceh22 I’m not sure “your program, school and state suck but we lost our coach to y’all anyway,” is the flex you think it is.

@wallaceh22 LSU does have lots of MBB natties… right?

Absolutely surreal The NCAA will do NOTHING

@WolfpackMav says a lot about your shit school don’t it

LSU Athletics uses the state Governor to pull strings and also fund their programs. They are currently $200 million dollars in debt. All of this while Louisiana is one of the most high poverty states in America😂

@lifeofschneids The gambit is to have a successful athletic department. 3 or 4 years of post season success will grow the pot exponentially. As an alumni, I’m torn. I’d rather donors put money into the academic facilities. But I also don’t think national opinion should dictate what LSU does.

@lifeofschneids The Gov didn’t agree with Woodward. But Woodward wrote the contracts for the old coaches…so maybe you don’t agree with him either? Woodward also fought back and refused when boosters and the Gov wanted to hire Wade 12 months ago. There’s more booster $ out the door.

Sure, add another $6M to that $200M because your Trump loving idiot of a governor didn’t like the former AD’s politics. You keep electing incompetent assholes who spend their time cosplaying as college athletics power brokers because states like MA, NJ, WA pay Louisiana’s bills.

@Burke_Franklin_ He’s releasing us from a prison sentence

Will Wade being greeted hugged and celebrated at the Baton Rouge airport like he was just released from a 12 month prison sentence Cmon man 😂🤣

😅

The thing about Hemingway’s prose style is that it’s great when he does it and sucks when anyone else tries it

@souljagoyteller Yup.

I’m so used to US politicians pretending to be powerless that this feels like a headline from another universe
