re: Perspective for some of you weak minded turds who will melt down

quote:

When it comes down to it, it's still just high school kids choosing where they want to play a game for a few years. No reason to bash a young guy or other people based on that decision.

---

Not only that, but there are only so many positions on a team, and only so many scholarships to give out.

This is not the days of the Bear signing 100 kids.

I really am afraid that this board will focus more on the recruit we miss, rather than the 4 we gain

which is incredibly sad

There's a poster on 247 that has been melting down since CRob and Hootie picked elsewhere. He's already completely trashed Frank Wilson and the staff for losing them saying they've been outworked and basically said that Frank Wilson isn't a very good recruiter if he lost out on Speedy.

He's absolutely trying to lead a mob on that site and it's pretty pathetic. I honestly can't believe he's allowed to still post.

nice perspective. what there's 125 FBS schools? I think I remember someone saying 247 only gives out 32 5*'s?

For LSU to get 4 from LA (maybe 5 of 6 btw) today, 1 more in Adams, to add to the 1 we have (should at least be 2, prolly 3: Quinn & Voorhies) for something like 6-8 of those 32 is flat out crazy by normal football standards.

had a guy here last night saying LSU needs to clean house if Hootie goes back to Bama without LSU eagerly pursuing him.

Is this how you acted when you asked a girl out and she said no

options....

1-retreat to a corner, assume fetal position and begin to cry

2-melt down and bitch incessantly while blaming others

3-understand the bitch made a big mistake and go find yourself a smarter woman.

Who exactly will you be irritated with? The recruit? The LSU coaches? The recruit's parents? The coaches of the school that they select? I am sure that all of the above are concerned about your irritation.

---

does it matter? does my irritation cease to exist because an LSU coach isn't concerned about it?

You can act like a 5-yr-old and say, "meh, we didn't want Fournette anyway since he now has decided to attend Bama," but you are only fooling yourself.

The more emotionally mature way to handle it is to acknowledge the disappointment, not act like the expectation and hope never existed. Just juvenile thinking, imo.

And, for the record, I'd bet LSU coaches *DO* care that they lost out on a stud. Do you think they have the same approach as you? Just ignore it, or say it didn't matter because "we don't want a guy who doesn't want LSU?" No! They are going to try to assess what they could have done differently.

You are like the guy who gets dumped and says you never liked her much anyway -- instead of maybe taking a hint and bathing more or brushing your teeth.

you are a full rantard/retard. the coaches work their asses off to get the best players that they can. you sound like a chicken little, sky is falling vagina. sure, i will be disappointed if we don't get all of the recuits we want, but at the end of the day, if they say no, it it time to move on immediately and work with the the players that actually chose LSU and WANT to be a part of this program.
