That's pretty cool, but I'm ready for this story to pass.

How original. Did it take you all morning to think of that?

Any time an LSU player is featured in a positive way in the media, I'm happy for the player and LSU. 95%of LSU fans feel the same way.

Troll job by ESPN?

The story is getting old here, but with the success the program is having I will take national publicity. This is great for the program!

For real? When was the last time LSU basketball got this much exposure?

It's been awhile. Andrew did a great job of representing LSU as he spoke clearly and with poise. He also looked good with scenes from his junior year to his much improved senior year. Showed him heads and shoulder above the band members in several runs. Collis Temple Sr was recorded as he recruited him as a jr where he left his band scholly to play b-ball. He also represent us very well.

The video was fronted by a few ESPN broadcasters playing in the Kentucky band with one doing the tuba. Temple mentioned after Andrew said he had never played basketball to encourgae him "you are 7'3" and you can walk -huh? And that height is a natural talent of itself, being the gist of it.

Anderew standing there with a basketball in his tuba kinda told the whole story...would have been funny if he tried to play it.

Good going starting center!

The story is getting old FOR LSU FANS. LSU fans can't seem to understand there's a bunch of people who haven't heard this story yet.
