There is a website called Tiger Droppings, where a few thousand LSU fans gather each day to post emoticons and anonymous opinions. Back in March, a poster started a thread titled, "Mo Isom is a buck-90????" Apparently, TigerTaterTots couldn't believe Isom weighed 190 pounds.

It took one minute for the first reply: "Don't care. Would hit it." Eight posts later, someone rekindled a longstanding message board debate: Who's hotter? Isom or Erin Andrews? Two pages passed before the first picture of Isom in a bikini, five pages before someone casually suggested date rape. "Mo is a great girl with an amazing life story," wrote one poster. "She is gorgeous and way too respectable to have people shallowly critique her looks." Two posts later: "Does anyone know her bra size?"

The author is not being intellectually honest. You can't claim that LSU fans merely distilled the entire issue into a question about Mo's attractiveness just because you choose to ignore the threads on the actual sports part of the website regarding her potential football prowess.

That thread was on the O-T. Of course it's not going to have anything to do with her football abilities.

I understand why he chose that particular thread and how it fits the article's context. But to say that it was the only type of discussion that was had on the subject is disingenuous.

Besides, there are WYHI threads for any female that shows her face on TV. It has nothing to do with LSU fans trying to tear down their athletes.

Btw, I just read the article and I've got even more respect for Mo. She has overcome a lot in recent years. I hope she's good enough to make the team. If not she's still a great tiger and a great person

And, regardless of how upset that author is, she's still SO fine.

Wow... not too flattering of a portrayal, but honest I suppose!

If you google "WYHI", most of the results are from the OT.

Hmmm... seems odd that TTT would get the national media nod again
