People always have choices. Some have more than others, but we all have them. Whatever choice the OP made to leave LA, it's silly for him to criticize others for doing the same, and to project his "state first" attitude on them.

I get what you are saying and I agree we should not project our feelings for LSU onto kids, but this is an apples and oranges comparison. My dad was transferred when I was a kid. If he had the same opportunities to stay in La he would have. Technically he could have quit and taken a lesser job but that's not a realistic choice for someone with kids to raise. In this case, the choice is the same. All Alabama has as a football program over LSU is more recent additions to the trophy case. Now obviously its Robinson's life and he made the choose he thinks is best for him and that's fine. But its not the same as the choices other La Ex Pats have to make.
