LSU takes care of their own. There have been plenty of talented LSU players that have had career ending injuries, only to have our Alumni network help them fulfill their dreams in endeavors beyond football.

I'm not even talking about the do-nothing sales positions where they make 150k a year and just take out clients, wear their SEC or National Championship rings.

Take Craig Loston for example. He had the worst turf toe I've ever seen. His big toe would swell up to the size of a friggin grapefruit. He got a little bit of run with Jacksonville as a free agent, but I don't think he was in the league long enough to get retirement benefits.

Nowadays, he runs a non-profit facility for youths with substance abuse and mental health issues and makes a real difference in the Houston community where he's from, and much of the backing for that came from our alumni network, and there's many, many other similar examples. If you ever go on their website, everything is in purple and gold.

Going to LSU is a 40 year decision, not a 4 year one. All these Louisiana guys would do well to come home, even if it is only for one year. We take care of our own.


ETA Loston's Facility is called Steps toward the Future. A shoutout is well deserved. I have so much respect for people who earnestly try to make their communities, and the world a better place.
