AM I the only one missing where Alabama "embarrasses" LSU every season? Sure they beat LSU six straight but "embarrass"???

These kids are scared to challenge bama so they join them why not create what bama has for your own home grown state just said I would never turn down anow opportunity to put my state on the map Leonard made the right decision for that he will always be loved and welcomed here at LSU.

Or maybe they see that LSU has squandered many of its top prospects and they want to play for championships. It's hard to argue against playing for bama.

baobabtiger: Squandered!? Are you high!? LSU prepares guys to be NFL stars and to have NFL longevity. Saban might get you a college championship, but most of his kids see maybe 4 yrs in the league. Trent Richardson is a prime example. If I was a 4* recruit and LSU offered me, I'd sign on the spot. Because I know that LSU will prepare me for the league. LF7 understood that. LSU has more players in the league than any other school in the country, 3 years running. And they'll have more first rounders than any other school in the country this year. A lot of these kids don't look at long term. Those that do, choose LSU.

Well, it's the 70's and 80's and 90's all over again. If Les Miles would have hired a worthy OC and let him do his job, LSU would not have lost 6 games in a row and would have at least competed much better in the 2011 NC champ game. Fact is, kids want to win a NC, who doesn't? And they know it won't happen at LSU. Saban didn't tear the damn fence down, Miles did with his arrogant and hardheaded refusal to hire a worthy OC and let him do his job. It will take a coach the caliber of Saban to change this shite back. It will take a coach who can prove on the field he can win a NC at LSU. Once that happens these Louisiana kids will go to LSU. If Oregeron can't go out of state and replace the players Saban is taking from the state, it's all down hill from here. LSU should have taken Saban back when he decided to leave the Dolphin's. So what if Miles had a good record in 2005. It was only BC of Saban. Oh well, shite, maybe LSU should go back to annual games against Tulane. Maybe one day LSU will get a coach who can do what Saban did when he was here and the dude will stay 15 years and do at LSU what Saban has done at Alabama. The players are here, they just don't want to go to LSU and get embarrassed by Alabama every frickin year. Can you really blame them? They know where the crystal ball will be, and that ain't Baton Rouge!

Saban owns Lsu. He put the fence up and has torn it down. Lsu got screwed the moment he went to bama and firing miles years too late didn't help matters.

This has more to do with Coach O firing BDP, who was the leading recruiter for Allen.

He's probably one of 10 four/five star LB'ers committed to BAMA....last I seen only 3 get on the field at one time.... but hey you get a ring (Trophy) for participation... sounds familiar.... it's never over till signing day... chill.....

You must not see well since they play a 3-4.

The day after we name O HC. That's another message, just like when Moses committed the day after we fired Miles. The Bama bag men do this for that reason.

Well that explains it. Former Saban player. A lot of those players put him before LSU.

IMO Randall is the only reason he held out so long from committing to Bama.

This makes me sick to my stomach. This one really hurts. You cannot lose kids of this quality to the team that keeps kicking your arse every year. The results won't change unless this situation is put to a halt. It's pathetic.

Maybe lsu shouldnt gove HC jobs to 55 year old dline coaches. This is the most unqualified hire in big 6 history.

Why go some where that's building? When you can walk into bama and get a ring(s). I understand.. great for Chris.
