Your boy J-Roy drops a positive report regarding the basketball team and the fact that they are playing together on a volunteer basis on campus in July and some of you feel the need to drag it through the mud and put a negative spin on it. I can't imagine that those kids would appreciate your response to the news that they are hooping it up together and getting comfortable with each other - not to mention that Davis is showing off the results of what has obviously been a great conditioning program over the last few months.

Some of you wouldn't know good news if it punched you in the balls - some of you are the most negative losers on the planet and the fact that you are associated with LSU sucks. It takes effort for anyone to be that freaking negative at every turn...

i agree. those hardcore, negative posters (in the middle of the offseason) should either just kill themselves already or find another team to be a "fan" of.

The big huge guy was probably Magnum Rollie:

I suspect that if Thomas and Mitchell can contribute, that we can be a tourney team again:

My prediction is that we will see the REAL Darrel Mitchell this year too, as he will drop that inconsistency.

Nope that wasn't magnum rolle, he may have been out there, but this guy was a tad small than big baby. Maybe Kentrell Gransberry?? I really don't know, he wasn't wearing LSU clothes with the rest of them.

I am also pretty sure Ben Voogd was there.

Mitchell, Lazare, Davis, Fleshmen, Thomas, Temple were definitely all out there.

You missed my point. People complain about coaches. That's OK. It happens everywhere. What gets old is the constant bashing. The thread starter was about seeing the players and how they looked. If you want to start another thread bashing Brady, go ahead. I will ignore it. This thread was a good one yet the critics have to throw in the Brady reference where it doesn't apply. I commented on it. And you disagreed. Fine. It still gets old.

Exactly...this is the reason I quit coming to the board. Every post was used to bash someone in one form or another. You want to bash start your own post. Oh...tried to give you rep points but it said I have to spread it around before I hit you again... :lol:

Back on topic...I've seen pick-up games in the past and they always look impressive. Especially to a 6 foot white guy who can't hit a 3 without pulling a back muscle.

Baby losing 20 lbs sure is music to my ears... We need him to pull overtime duties without Bass this year.

Exactly... why can't we have a basketball question/statement without it degrading into a debate/insult-a-thon over whether you like Brady or not?

If someone asks a question about the quarterback or the running backs, the first response normally isn't something like "Les Miles sucks." Why do people feel the need to say something like that in EVERY basketball thread?

I think Davis will be an animal this year.

Of course, those guys looked good just playing ball on their own. Keep those images in your mind, then compare them to what shows up in October after a few weeks of 'Brady Indoctrination.'

They will be Brain washed by Brady!! :hihi: :lol:
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm trying to be humorous here, its a joke lighten up!

To answer Mike D's question.
LSU football is successful now days and have proven themselves.
I bet people were cracking jokes about LSU football when they were
real bad, people were all over Dinardo just the way they are at Brady.

LSU basketball is just mediocre at best and is unproven.
Brady should have one of the best teams in basketball.
People on this board make excuses why he can't put together a top notch
team, this is LSU and not North Carolina.
Sorry, but if we can get players like Brandon Bass and Stromile Swift that
proves that we should be able to get better players to surround them.
Any good or great player would love to play with these guys because
they will in return make them better players and get them better shots.

I do hope this team will have a great year this year but we'll see! :redface:

I'd like a link to that quote.

Here is your link to the quote. I have posted the end of the article if you are not able to pull up the entire article due to it being a pay site. It was an interview done a few weeks ago with Skip Bertman.

Truth be told, how much is this all really about John Brady's personality or lack there of one of friendliness with the fans and media?

"You're right. A lot of people have a misguided view of John. Number one is that he is a nice guy. He's not a kid, he's 52 years old, he's a wonderful father, and he's not a bad guy at all. He has many, many friends I promise you that will say what I am saying. When you are with John you don't feel anything but comfort. He has done something in the past that I think has been at the forefront of the perception of John and that is on the basketball sideline he has been very emotional and has shown an angry side at officials or situations. I think that I did that too in baseball. But I was in the dugout. I think Nick for sure did this and was caught on camera many times. But it doesn't really matter if you do it in the football stadium, because nobody is watching you. But in basketball you are out in front of the 10,000 or so people and you are on camera when you do it. You have to go overboard to be like some of the coaches do in the College World Series do now. If you sit there emotionless like Joe Torre when in reality your gut is killing you. John did me a favor and did himself a favor and last year he did a much better job than that. John Trelor has added a lot, Nikita Johnson has added a lot to our coaching staff. I think the blend is better. It is only there second year together. I like that too."

It may be only the second year of them being together, but Brady is approaching a decade as the Head Coach at LSU.

"Your right, he has been there for eight years. That depends on whether or not you say that the first three years don't count. But then again, if you throw out those three years, like the third year where he went to the Sweet 16, he has got nothing."
