Ok couple of things:

Ben talked a bunch of shite about us.

Tyrann admitted his mistakes, apologized and became not only a huge brand ambassador but donor.

No one hates Ben but he never embraced us so we never embraced him.

Ben has on multiple occasions showed LSU love on social media. The pettiness towards Ben Simmons on this site is embarrassing. Sure he would have preferred to go straight to the NBA (his life long dream) and make millions of dollars. What an a-hole.

This is the key.

A good example is Joe Burrow. By the end of last year, everyone loved him. He was P&G through and through and was (and continues to be) 100% committed to this team.

I never got that from Simmons. LSU always just seemed like a means to an end to him. Nothing against him, but he’ll simply never be a fan favorite because of that.
