I guess my point is that I don’t think Herbstreit is just trying to bash the program.
Although that may be true, he was certainly full of shite with the Clemson and Bama comparisons when they have had their own bigger issues.

Didn’t read. I don’t read his opinions.

OBJ was being a moron. Other than that, this has all been a big overreaction. Why can't ppl enjoy themselves after they accomplish something. Friggin smart phones and social media makes it a lot damn harder to have some fun these days. Jeez.

I understand that OBJ was doing some really dumb stuff. Maybe Burrow's comment wasn't great, but he was not speaking against LSU or the program. I think he was trying to say that what OBJ did wasn't the big deal that others were making of it. But what I don't understand, since I wasn't there, is what did any other player do that was unusual or over the top. Somebody please explain

They won't. I've asked several times in this thread for those complaining that our players were over-the-top, immature, etc. However, I've not had one response in regards to that. I thought maybe there was something I didn't know about, but there must not be anything since there have been no responses. And I know they aren't going to seriously try to mention the cigar thing because that is done all the time by players.

Everyone acting like he made some startling revelation in a sit down tell all with fricking Barbara Walters.

“Burrow’s comment about ‘I’m not a student-athlete anymore, yeah it was real money.’ If you care about the program, do you really say that,” Herbstreit said.

Burrow said it in a nonchalant way, because he was expressing his view that way too much was being made of the whole thing. At least that's how it sounded to me. Burrow has been nothing but class during his time here. His personality didn't change overnight

Or he is 23 and hammered with two hammered radio hosts. What planet do you fricking people live on? Also; shame on Herbie for calling it to task after all his shenanigans during and after college

And this is why what OBJ did and the way he acted makes him a shite stain. Everything that happen and said is directly related to his actions.
Something that amounted to a fart in the wind and now it’s headlines everywhere.
These kids are about to make millions and now we’re worried about essentially pennies to players that are leaving. shite the amount of free drinks they got that night exceeded what that drunked asshat gave them.
If he’d been handing out shoes or beats or whatever no one says boo but flash a couple benjamins and the holy rollers wring their purses.
It’s retarded

Nothing he said was wrong
His story is off base due to it really being about OBJ and not LSU.
The quote from Burrow has nothing to do at all with the real issue.
This story would not have been written if not for OBJ, not the LSU team; and I really doubt if it had been written at all if his sons do not play for Clemson.

They can go and die in a war, vote, etc, but some celebratory cigars and the sky is falling. horseshite

I have no problem with he said, OBJ made a mockery of the team’s celebration.

he did, but the problem is that kirk tried to take that and hold it against LSU as a whole. don’t shite on the LSU football team because one former player chose to act like an idiot. if you want to call him out individually then fine, but don’t try to take away from what the team just accomplished. the team was about their business from day 1, and they were right to carry themselves with confidence all year. herbstreit tried to shite on the whole football program for the act of 1 individual, which is complete bullshite. none of this will have any effect on our football team moving forward and for him to imply that is moronic. frick herbstreit and anyone defending his arse

Obj is practically a teenager emotionally. So him plus other teenagers about to win a national championship and him acting like a millionaire that he is .. not that big a deal

I don't think he was saying it against LSU as a whole. The team deserved to celebrate, no question.
It's easy to misinterpret what he meant but he's been touting LSU the entire season.
I have no problem with what he said. He's right.
Bottom line is he says none of this if OBJ doesn't act like an idiot. AGAIN.
Herbie sometimes shows his bias at times but this wasn't one of those times. He summed up what a majority of LSU fans also think.
He says none of what you posted if OBJ would've just acted normal but since he's gone pro, he's acted like a loose cannon. It's because of OBJ's actions, not anyone on the team, that has brought this to light. So if you want to be pissed at someone, be pissed at OBJ for starting this whole ordeal in the first place. None of this is even being talked about if OBJ wasn't there trying to put himself in the spotlight again. I'm really starting to think there's some mental issue with the guy. He knew darn well that stuff doesn't fly with student athletes yet here he is doing it.
Thanks to him, instead of celebrating what could very well be one of the most incredible college football seasons in history, we have this to focus on. Thanks Odell.

not buying that at all. could have easily condemned OBJ himself for what he did, but instead decided to take a jab at the LSU football program as a whole. bitch move on his part, point blank period.
