re: TCU's Devonte Fields will suit up against LSU

The only reason that this is an issue at all is because TCU's Coach made comments about Hill, which were turned into a national news story that portrayed LSU and Les Miles in a negative light, even though The game hasn't even been played, and Jeremy Hill hasn't even stepped foot on the field.
Why do you hold anonymous LSU fans on the Rant to a higher standard than Patterson?

I mean, if anyone gave the greenlight for speculation and moral grandstanding about whether a player was going to play or not based on an unclear suspension status, it was Gary Patterson.

GP answered a direct question and said that he would never put a player suspension up for a team vote. When he was asked what he thought about the Hill situation, he said he took it as a sign of respect, because if y'all were playing some cupcake it would likely be a nonstory. He was right on both.

This whole thing was blown way out of proportion from the start by the media, simply because it's the off-season and they try to make a story out of every little thing they can. The fact that people are questioning either coaches' integrity is laughable IMO. I just can't wait for actual football to be played so we have something of actual substance to talk about.
