In a timely manner.


Tweet

quote:

Can't remember a more serious Travis Etienne in media availability than today. On Orgeron expressing regret this week over his recruitment: "I can't find validation in that because I'm not out here looking for validation from other men, honestly."



SIAP

Look, I understand that he was upset he wasn’t the first choice, but he did get an offer.

O admitted to making a mistake.

Sounds like he’s still got something against O after these years.

He Needs to let it go
I think his decision worked out great for himself and what he's accomplished there

So he’s a whiner, just like his coach.

Got it.

Sounds like he's confident in his own abilities and doesn't need outside validation, IMO.

I didn't take it as a shot at O.

ETA - I can't find a direct Q&A, but apparently a reported her to tell him what Orgeron said. He wasn't already aware of it. I'd imagine the reporter asked him specifically about validation, hence the response.

Turns out we didn't need him. Seems we've done just fine.

The funny part of all this is Clemson offered him after we did, and he chose to go there, yet is upset we didn't offer him sooner

Well, it worked out just fine for him. Most people have been overlooked at some point in some way. I’m sure my wife’s first choice would have been Brad Pitt, but sometimes you just get what you get, and don’t pitch a fit.

I think it’s the media making it more of a big deal than what it is. Kind of like the so-called death threats their family has received.

I could be wrong, but I thought we offered before Clemson did. Now obviously it was late in the process, and he was in state so I can see how he would feel slighted, but let’s not act like Clemson knew all along what a diamond in the rough he was...

He's just being a bitch at this point, we offered him before Clemson.

Eaux didn't make a mistake. That ship had sailed before Eaux had the authority to offer.

Hopefully that decision maker isn't making decisions anymore at #LSU

Sounds like he's one of those Doug Baldwin types who is going to find disrespect where there isn't any in order to motivate himself.

Much like Najee Harris did, I expect him to have a great game. I also expect him to lose like Harris did as well.

How in the world is this quote being "salty"?
quote:

"I can't find validation in that because I'm not out here looking for validation from other men, honestly."

Sounds to me like he's happy where he is and isn't worried about what happened in the past. Definitely not a shot at LSU or O.

What do you people want him to say? That he wishes he would be at LSU right now and shite on Clemson?

It is pitiful if he still has regrets after all his success at Clemson. If he is using this "slight" as a way to get up for the game, something must be wrong with his motivation.

He was in BR 4 days before he signed his LOI to CLemson. He had his chance to sign and didn't. His choice.

ETA: both sides are fine and we got to witness CEH which is probably more fun than Etienne.

Oh good lord, these people are latching on to anything that gives them victim status to amp up for the game. Does one really need motivation to get more up for a National Championship?
