So who cares about what an 18 year old decides on where to go to college? It doesn't affect my life one way or the other.

Well...I keep on telling myself that but can't help getting pissed off/happy as hell when an 18 year old kid decides on going to LSU or not. Then soft logic sets in and tells me that a few hotshots will set your program up for some BCS bowls.

Thoughts?

I wish I didn't care as much sometimes but its really so hard when you love LSU as much as everyone on this board does, well mostly everyone.

Why do we care for sports in general? Its entertainment. It feels good to have bragging rights.

Recruiting is the part of the football season that is suppose to be "boring" and not looked at by fans as much. But with all of the recruiting sites, the recruit rankings etc.. Fans have grown to love the recruiting process.

It also shows where your program can be 3 years down the line. So the real question is.. why would u not care about recruiting.

I find myself doing the same thing. I think we intend to pay more attention when we have great classes coming in like this upcoming class. I have never been more exciting about a class than this years. This class will be one of the best ever for LSU. Good recruits = winning games!

Who cares about... say reality TV shows? There is as much drama in blue chip recruits visiting schools and narrowing their choices as there is in the Bachelor or in American Idol. But in recruiting, fans have a vested interest, as the quality of recruits is a credible indicator of how the team will do in the following years.

Something to talk about after football season is over and before March Madness gets cranked up.
