McDonalds is about the only job they will get with a degree from Bama here in LA. If they go to LSU, they are hometown heros and people will remember them years from now when it comes time to find a job. If they want to sell insurance, medical supplies, cars etc...that diploma and pictures on the wall of them sacking a quarterback, catching a ball, crossing the goal line etc has value when people walk into their establishment. Now a days, it's who you know more than what you know. In Louisiana, LSU players know everyone. Bama players...well they can wear their NC rings and people will look on them with disdain. That's just the way it is.

Every player listed will make more in a year than you will in a lifetime.

Y'all need to get over yourselves.

Shitty mindsets like this are why some continue to leave the state.

And lol at this hometown hero BS. This sounds like something that Miss. St fans would say.

I met quite a bit of Bama graduates in Louisiana and all of them had good jobs. Hopefully you are still in high school.

+1 Louisiana is such a provincial state with a single P5 football power/program. Leaving the state absolutely reduces their attractiveness in the job market, should they elect to return to the state - they pretty much have to make the NFL or get a degree in a high demand field (Accounting, Engineering or maybe healthcare related, etc).
