After the video of Tony throwing the ball to fans was posted at VQ, somebody responded and said, "Wow he's grown violent and is throwing projectiles at fans, that can't be good." I had a good chuckle. Laugh to keep from crying.

He's on campus.

If Chris Low said it, it's almost certainly true. The way some of you hang on every word uttered by people with "sources" around here is pretty funny.

Embed them here, or? Lots of paraphrasing going on.

I'm gonna need some concrete evidence that donors and Danny are not in lock step before I go down that road. The conjecture is coming from all sides right now, and probably 0.2% of it is credible.

The way you've written this makes it seem like Danny is angry with the mega donor and former player. I'm guessing you meant the opposite. Right?

No, nothing new under the sun. Anyone acting like they know anything with certainty is lying.

Well, the alternative—not showing up even though there's been no announcement—would be a sh*t show.

My (extremely uninformed) take is that, if he stays, some things about the way the program operates and is resourced will change. That only makes sense if he turns down a potentially once-in-a-lifetime offer to manage one of MLB's most storied franchises. Given how long the previous contract...

I mean, you have just as much reason to take the "glass is half full" approach. Information gaps cause many people to assume the worst possible scenario.

When the hell did we start using LSU fans' feelings as a barometer for anything?

Says who? Rick has about 10,000% more genuine character than Bruce does, and I highly doubt he'd be selfish and/or arrogant enough to force a pick on Danny White. If he thinks Gainey deserves to be considered, I'm sure Danny will include him in the interview process, but there's no chance he...

Uh, that's the point. Danny's much more likely to hire someone in the Kim or Josh mold than the Bruce mold.

Take a look at Kim Caldwell and Josh Heupel and tell me how close they are to the "let's hire a 65-year-old near the end of their career" template you're laying out. Less than zero chance Danny's dumb enough to hire Bruce.

You all want our AD to hire a 65-year-old retread instead of finding some fresh blood? That's some nonsense. Our program is probably one of the top 10 strongest/most successful in all of college basketball at the moment, and we've got a brilliant AD who has more history with basketball than any...
