re: Is there a reason the Etienne's hate LSU besides offering Travis late?

Travis was never coming to LSU. I remember his recruitment well. Early, early on, he had a list of top 7 schools; none were LSU, and none on that list had even offered him yet. In fact, Clemson offered AFTER LSU offered and he had no problem with them slow playing him. And LSU fans were generally fine that he chose Clemson, if was the “real Death Valley” comment during his commitment reveal that cemented his fate in the ire of LSU fans. They just are not LSU people. Not totally uncommon; not everyone in Louisiana is. But Travis not coming to LSU is on Travis, not the coaches.
