These kids don't owe Louisiana anything but I don't like them going over there either but it's their decision

You're embarrassing me right now.

I completely agree. Even to a point where if they are heading to Ohio State, Michigan, ND, OU, and even Florida State I'm ok with that. But don't say you grew up an LSU fan and it's down to us and Bama. Get lost is 100% correct. But here's the thing I've learned over the years. In this scenario, it's about a 95% chance they are all Bama and just softening the blow. So I don't pay any attention to the "it's between LSU and Bama" crew. And when it actually plays in our favor (LF) it feels awesome.

Some people would rather be followers than leaders, sheep than wolves, jump on the bandwagon than building your own legacy.

don't worry. Yaw Yaw is gonna build a wall around the state

We just have to up the ante A little and our compliance office to cool in a little bit! A lot of money is pulling these kids To Bama

You honestly have no idea what being a Tiger and playing for LSU is all about.

i suspect you don't either.

i do not understand why some people believe if you are born and/or raised in the state of LA, you owe it to the rest of the residents of LA to attend LSU if they can play football.


don't get me wrong, I'd rather see guy with Moses's, Allens, and Harris playing for LSU vs. Bama. but it isn't anything personal if they don't.

It's real simple. You can stay home, play for LSU and have a nice career winning 8-10 games a year and go to a mid-tier bowl every year. You will not have a chance to play for a championship of any kind. You will get to the NFL if you're good enough and you will be on TV a lot. For most Louisiana guys right now, that's enough.

Or, you can go a few hours away, still be close to home and be guaranteed that if you stay 3-4 years, you will play for multiple SEC titles and at least one national championship. There is a great chance your face will be splashed all over magazine covers and your life story might be told leading up to a title game. If you're a QB or running back, a Heisman is very possible. I mean, I get it. I hate Bama but I can see why a kid would want those things and it just so happens the only school in the nation which guarantees all of it is close to Louisiana and actively pushes for Louisiana players. LSU just doesn't offer any of that right now. Until that changes, this will keep on happening more and more.

Bama knows how to recruit Louisiana athletes
