re: Wilson Alexander Report: Austin Thomas is Returning to LSU

Never understood his role or why he was so heralded

Yeah, I chalk it up to the fact that some tidbits of info on here echo randomly and become amplified more than others... depending on who hears it and starts parroting it.

Nothing against Thomas. Just seems like he came to the foreground due to involvement with a couple of recruiting wins, like JaCoby Stephens. One person says he was important in this case, someone repeats it, the next person has now heard he was important twice, then it becomes he was always important, another repeats it, etc. In his case, his drama with job changes gave more mystique to his rep on here.

But it happens in good and bad ways on here all the time... The Rant at times reminds me of the scene in Fight Club, when the first goon thinks, in death, members of Project Mayhem get a name, and his name was Robert Paulson. Then another guy repeats it till it takes on its own life...

Yeah, this is how the Rant seems sometimes with the way some narratives grow legs.

Anyway, I'm sure Thomas is qualified for whatever role he gets. And I hope he's a success at it. But I'm with you... there was a silliness to it, like the silliness around the Binder / tBinder.
