re: So why is Shea Patterson picking OM?

Not related....but close to the family. Great family and a great kid. I'm an LSU fan who would love to see him in Purple and Gold but I also see the draw to ole miss for him. Shea Patterson is an awesome kid and has done nothing for some people to talk shite to him or say he has no chest....he didn't make this a big deal or circus. Media and fans did. He's the hardest working high school QB I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of em. I hope a year from now things change and he is signing with the tigers but if not Im still a Patterson fan and will cheer for him all season until he plays my tigers. Then he will just have to be tiger bait lol

Not entirely true, but let me state that I don't have any resentment towards Patterson. The whole thing about his recruitment is how he is using his signature to leverge his brother's career seems a bit selfish to me. If your brother does not deserve or has not earned the position he is using his commitment to get him why does that not warrant the chest comments people have been making? A young man should learn real quick that you have to earn your own position in life grind for what you are aspiring for. His brother is not setting that example for him. He would jeopardize the development of his teammates just so his brother can get a position he didn't earn?
