Nice article on Paul Byrd's son.

It might seem like dog-bites-man news that the son of one of LSU's more successful former stars is bound for Baton Rouge. And Grayson Byrd doesn't camouflage his affinity for his new home whatsoever.
There is more than a legacy connection involved, though.
"This is where I've always wanted to play," he said. "I committed in the spring of sophomore year because I wanted to make sure it wasn't a dream that I would wake up from. I went to a camp and the LSU coaches really liked me and when they offered me a scholarship, I was ready to jump on it.
"My mom is from there, my dad played baseball there, that's where they met. It's been a really big part of our lives for a long time, and I've imagined myself in purple-and-gold my whole life."

"Javi told Grayson 'Look around at all these stands. When we play here, they're full of people. We lead the nation in attendance, and playing at LSU is a really big deal. We have to win here to keep our jobs because of how much interest there is and how many great fans we have. And because of that, we're interested in you not because of who your dad is but because of who you are,' " Paul Byrd said.

So the players come here because of our fans. Yet our fans want our loudest fans to be quiet and not be attention whores. Makes sense.

I'm not sure why I thought this thread would make it to at least page 2 before we either cannibalized our fans or talked about PEDs, but I was wrong.
