Just blows my mind how Louisiana kids would want to damage the flagship University of his home state, by playing Saban's games. Kinda like putting a knife in the back of your own family? That's what Robinson, Moses, Jones, Allen, Mathis, D Smith etc. have done.

Here's a little secret. Many black kids in LSU don't really give a shite about the "home state school". They just support the best/popular school. At the moment that happens to be Alabama. That was the case in the late 80's/90's when everyone was either a Miami or Florida St. fan. Now, you see more "Bama fans" in LA than ever before. I have several black friends who 10 years ago couldn't even tell you who Alabama was playing on a given week. Today they are "die hard" Alabama fans touting "their" national titles, etc.

Many of these kids are from poor backgrounds and they just see college as a necessary stepping stone to NFL millions. They choose where to attend college based upon who they think is best equipped to get them to the NFL riches. For many, that's Bama.

They don't feel they are stabbing their home state in the back, because there was no sense of loyalty in the first place. That's not a knock on the kids (who am I to tell someone where they should attend college), just a reality.

Yeah, Jamal Adams and Patrick Peterson are the worst! How dare Burrow put a knife to the back of Cinci!

You’re projecting your thoughts onto these kids. They have zero loyalty to LSU or this state. They are all about themselves. The sooner you realize this, the less you’ll get worked up.
