Sorry for the stress, muddbone. I think I may have said it before, but an immediate relative of mine played pro ball at QB. I was the only member of the family to be on message boards. All of the rest barely even read the paper due to the frustration of other people's idiocy from fans to reporters.

Anyway, there are great things about being online but there are also crappy things. Be prepared for the good with the bad. Just wait until your son gets torched for a touchdown and his school loses as a result, you'll see a level of vitriol you've never experienced from message board heroes.

I read people hoping my relative got run over by a bus and other death wishes as a result of his play. Good times. That being said, I still hang on the message board I joined for his team, despite the fact he's retired from the league for quite a few years.

Anyway, this phase will be over soon, and the honeymoon of whatever school your son attends will begin. Good luck to your entire family!

All due respect, but if he wanted to talk to Arkansas fans, he knows where you congregate.

Last time your fellow hog fans turned his thread into a shite show. We'd rather not see that here.

Have a great day.

Hog fan, your family member wasn't Aaron Brooks was it. I'm sure many saints fans felt that way at times. Lol.

In all seriousness though, I can't imagine the outside pressure your family went through or what current top recruits go through. It's easy to cast judgement from across the fence, but it's tough when your in the middle trying to walk through the mess. I'm sure you are excited that the end of recruiting is almost here.

I have NEVER, EVER heard, or read an LSU fan wish a player on LSU's team harm in any way, shape or form. EVER.
As angry as Jordan Jefferson, Anthony Jennings, Brandon Harris, or any other player in any sport makes them, there has never been death threats or wishing harm on them.
Don't put LSU fans in that shithouse with Alabama and the rest of the fan bases that do that.
