I’m trying to figure out what the difference is but I just can’t put my finger on it.

I believe it’s fan and geographic bias. WH is legacy player…emotional attachment. WH is born and raised Louisiana player…emotional attachment. So when fans emotionally invest in a Louisiana legacy player as the 2nd coming, and he pivots, it’s really tough to swallow for lots of fans. We are seeing a dichotomy of reaction: either “piss on him and ole piss, hope he fails” or “have sympathy, doing what’s best for him, good luck.” Both are ways to cope with the disappointment of a highly touted native son abandoning his perceived LSU legacy before it had a chance to grow legs.

Straw man argument.

If Walker Howard was LSUs STARTING QB and was tampered and poached by Alabama, the reaction would be the exact same as it was to Eli Ricks.
