I know it is for the good of the team that any individual player's contact with the media is carefully meted and monitored. Youthful emotions and exuberance can easily result in a widely-proliferated sound byte that's either individually embarrassing or detrimental to the team.
Although there is no specific blanket NCAA policy in place for student-athletes - players know that (especially during the season) their Myspace and/or Facebook status have recently been joined by upstart Twitter on the "Off Limits" List.
It would stand to reason that there are also rules in place which discourage/prevent/prohibit(?) players from voicing themselves freely on a site such as this.
That being said - I would love to know what the players think of their fanbase's disposition and it's effect on current and future Tigers. If a current player (whose identity would be verified/name withheld) were willing to post an "Open Letter to All LSU Fans" and provide some firsthand insight - it may help unify the fractured Tiger following.
I'm sure individual players (and recruits) are affected to varying degrees on different levels - and we the general public for the most part know not what we do when it comes to E-xpressing our E-pinions... If somebody that actually tapes up on Saturday and steps on the field cares to clue me in - I'm listening.
