Just in the nick of time

Boy, it's a good thing Les Miles hired D.J. McCarthy as his wide receivers coach.

Now, the Tigers can get spring practice started.

Anything to push the LSU basketball team out of the forefront.

That team is going nowhere. Even the NIT is in jeopardy right now. But hey, most of the LSU fan base will be more concerned about spring drills anyway.

In all seriousness, whether it's John Brady or eventually someone new, someone has to change the culture in the state to where there is at least an acceptance and acknowledgement of basketball.

Even a Final Four trip last year didn't change that.

It's OK to be a big football fan. Just give basketball its space and pick up spring football when you can.
