      - He's about as thin skinned as you can get...even changes Usernames when the heat rises above 'warm' [NT] - TyroneIrish - 12:47pm 1/2/26
      - Are you suggesting they beat Georgia primarily because of using a coach committed to LSU? - Hensou - 11:45am 1/2/26
        No I am saying that it was hardly "not in their best interest", since they are in the semis [NT] - Chris94 - 1:01pm 1/2/26
        That's not proof that he should still be there. - Hensou - 1:29pm 1/2/26
