@@bbickham5715 I know who won't be there.....Angel Reese!!
I'm not Angel's biggest fan if y'all this team is gonna make a deep without her yall are sorly mistaken 😂😂
The race is not given to the Swift and fast it's the ones who endures to the end
LSU in for a beat down when they face the Lady Gamecocks
You said what now ?
@@raemonaetv2941 I said what I said
they play way better without angel reese. the energy is different. no hate to her it’s just an observation
That’s what happens when people not chasing stats or trying to be the hero or think they’re the star look shaq-Kobe post three peat, some positive examples the spurs and warriors dynasty or the bulls dynasty. They have a lot of talent I’m sure they know that just people need to know their roles and know it’s a team sport for a reason.
Flau’Jae 😂😂….italian?
Keep it cute about Texas Southern in these comments.
I'm from New Orleans but I like TSU too ❤️ I've been a y'all campus a few times!
Y'all are awesome 👍🏾😎
Im Jackson State but I support all HBCUs❤️
Do they really need Angel Reese?🤷🏾♀️ I think NOT! She’s acting really stupid these days. Seems like she’s lost sight of her goals. She’s shooting herself in the foot.
Many people have hiccups in their life. Hopefully she gets it under control soon.
Who the hell is Texas Southern??? Why don't they just play high school teams.. it be about the same 😂😂😂
*SWAC BABY. Southern University plays LSU in football all the time.*
@@thatguybill34 . . . All the time? I think once. Baseball often though.
It's helps the lower schools get funding so schools agree to it for the payday basically lol
It’s a university.
@@BrandonByrd-zn1jzthey aren’t “lower”. They’re smaller D1 colleges/universities.
