re: Private school kid from Texas being bullied for selecting LSU as his top school

If he's really truly excited about going to LSU, then he should. I can't imagine being that happy about something, but being talked out of it by an ignorant high school kid. His schoolmates' opinions won't count for shite in about six months.

Which is why I was shocked when I started hearing him talk less and less about LSU. And it's not just one kid, it's several and also his college counselors are encouraging him to "reach higher" to put it nicely and they really got in his head which is not hard to do ... he's your typical very impressionable 17 year old kid that what's to be accepted by his peers.

I always thought LSU had a good reputation so this was a bit of an eye-opening experience to me.
