re: How the tables turn

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.
