Are you telling me a child didn't do what some adults were hoping, and now they're "MELT"ing? Strange times we live in, man.

Aww. Mom wanted him to stay home. She handled it well.

WirelessMike•65 months

Handled it better than Landon Collins's family did back in 2012. Nice to be on this side of it this time, though. I haven't forgotten how much it sucks to have a great recruit pull the rug out from under you.

Brady said over the summer, “Get your popcorn ready!” No one believed him!

Who is your QB next year?

Alltheway Tigers!•65 months

Who is your QB? Fromm is prob gone and your best QB is playing at another school. LSU loaded at WR, most of OL is back and a great set of RBs. QB position isn’t too shabby either.
