Wake up.........'CHAMPIONSHIPS'! Multiple CHAMPIONSHIPS!

1 in the last 4 years BayouTiga. That means that 3 other teams have the same amount over the same period. Bama is a hype machine that spends more money than anybody and is willing to do anything to stay on top. I could understand LA players leaving the state if LSU was a below 500 team and could not field a competitive program. I will never understand why any LA kid would leave for Bama. Make no sense from any perspective, playing time, winning or business.

I hate to say it, but it's the Bama name.

Would have been nice, but I much prefer Wilson and Shevlin.

One thing he will never be able to do is tell his kids he played for LSU!! Louisiana bred and proud!!!

KennabraTiger•87 months

Of course he did

TKLSUMD•87 months

Oh well. Life goes on. I prefer to have kids that want to play for LSU instead as their first choice.

The dreaded triple post

Guess I was wrong on that one! Well, anyone that grows up in Louisiana and would rather play for Alabama than LSU ain't right in the head! Show some pride! I don't know how things will go tomorrow, but if we don't get another recruit this year, fine by me. I want to thank our 21 committed players for manning up deciding to come play for the Tigers! Your lives will be changed for the better!

Good luck coming home after football

I am a huge LSU fan! Having said that, you peeps need to get a grip with reality that Bama is a cut above LSU right now. Until we beat their gump asses, Bama will continue to cherry pick LA. Wake Up!!!

LSUAlum2001•87 months

If there were stud players in Alabama, and they were down and we were up, we still wouldn't get them to come here.

Whynotme•87 months

The truth hurts!! I agree. Beating Alabama is the only thing that can solve this. nothing else!
