🏀 🔥 Hot Seat 2026 : Will Wade back to LSU?

All I know about this story:

• They aren't winning.
• The coach went on some rant last week
• He was fired.

Another note on this one...before UArk finally settled on Cal, Tang was in the mix for that position. As I recall he ended up getting a raise, or an extension, or both because of their opening in Fayetteville. While I watched that job opening I didn't pay much attention to him as a candidate.

Fired for cause and Tom Mars enters the picture; again.

I saw a comment this morning that caught my attention. We have talked about the blue bloods of basketball for years. The observation was about blue bloods who, coincidentally, sport "blue." It was mentioned it's the first time since the mid-50's at least one of these teams—Kentucky, UNC, UCLA, and Kansas—aren't in the Sweet 16.

Wow, that is an amazing stat! The true blue bloods of college basketball and they do not make the Sweet 16.

The sordid tale of LSU football, the Louisiana governor and a yearslong feud

Even for Louisiana, a place with a history of jarring political acts and unusual public behavior, Gov. Jeff Landry’s unfurling this week has been a bizarre jolt. But the state's politics have long been uncomfortably intertwined with LSU football.

Now. Weigh it with this.

There's only one blue blood; Duke. It's reported they have more invested in their roster than the other teams in the S16. I don't know if that is accurate.

There are no Cinderalla's.

It's not the same game.

It absolutely isn’t the same game anymore! We have an organized farm system to go along with the G-League.

Wade, Kim Mulkey and Lane Kiffin, what a bunch of egos to TRY to manage.

Casey. I recommended this idea to a guy that's in OK...he's in the shirt business as well.

"The Baton Rouges" is something I caught earlier today...that's a shirt. Put "Gueux" behind it at a light transparency...
