Sophser and the boot to Bama trend

He better play in the NFL and be set for life, because he will never be able to come home and find viable work.

He could always cut hair in Amite?

There you go, trying to pick specks out if fly shi.. face it most businesses in the state are going to benefit from the local hero not a player who lays it on the line for Alabama.

It just has the appearance of things we have all seen before. Apparently he told LSU coaches he wanted to play in college with his brother. So, LSU offers his brother a scholarship (the only school that has, as far as I know) but he still doesn't commit. LSU plays home game against UGA, biggest SEC game of the week, he goes on a visit to Ala instead. IMHO, he is all Ala, the only reason he'd consider LSU is his brother. But, if he really wanted to play in college with his brother, he'd of committed to LSU already. The writing is on the wall and most of us LSU fans see it. We've just moved on.

As bitter as we may be this just isnt true. Every kid should have the freedom to choose which school they want to attend without feeling threatened in any way. Some want to stay home and represent the boot/stay close to family and friends. Some might just want go play for the greatest college coach of all-time. Some might just want change of scenery.

Now if they were to lie to our coaches and "flip" the night before signing day and/or have a last second $ultimatum$ then the hostility like some have, I'd understand the hostility.

Sospher hasn't been leading LSU on like others have and I respect that

Yes, I don’t think anyone is saying he can’t get a job in LA. What is being said, is that barely anyone will give a shite that he was a football player for Alabame. No path will be set up for him, no doors held open for him, no perfect opportunities will find him.
To your point, someone will hire him, the same way they hire other random people that apply for positions with a given company.
AND, let’s face it, he’s gonna need to be just as qualified as the other applicants to get that job.
Spend a few years at LSU leaving it on the field and when the time comes, doors will be open, paths trimmed and lighted for convenience and we’ll all be jealous! Lol.

shite is real and your kidding yourself if you don’t believe it.

Oh, I thought we were talking about him having an advantage in getting employment? Sure, he can absolutely get a job in LA regardless of where he plays football. I just thought we were talking about real life and if he’s not an nfl player for long or at all, he could always find the “perfect employment opportunity” that fit him here in his home state. Cuz, that is real.

Yeah, you’re actually correct. Someone did say that, and I was wrong for not pointing it out as well.
You two, you know, the guys on the extreme right or left of every controversy should get together, have a few beers and nit pick each other. Y’all would love it, or at least you would, maybe..

Yea I completely understand that notion. Other guy said he wont be able to find viable option.
My view:
Top in-state guy and picks LSU over Bama, their life immediately becames a gravy train.

have career-ending injury: you'll still have a ridiculous amount of opportunities regardless of qualification.

Even if they played in NFL, successful or not, they'd immediately have connections 99% of people don't have, whether it's to start a business or sell insurance, etc.

Was just saying they shouldn't feel threatened.

Regardless, picking LSU for guys like Sospher:
best free insurance policy ever.
