this is ridiculous. how many of you have spent the holidays thousands of miles from home. sometimes its something you have to do. im 2,000 miles away. moved here because in the long run it'd be good for my career. its a sacrifice you make in hopes one day you make it and it pays off. doesn't mean i can't be sad or upset when christmas day rolls around and i'm spending it at work. get over it.

he had the opportunity to play at lsu. and took it. doesnt mean he can't get sad and homesick around the holidays.

Joxy...with all due respect

You don't go around saying this is the biggest mistake of your life. Barksdale could have simply said it sucks to be so far away from home at Christmas.

And BTW...I'm not buying this hacker thing. Twitter has basically proven to be something some people cannot handle. Their perception of who reads what, and how quickly it spreads is miscalculated. My guess is...he screwed up bad....and he probably doesn't hate LSU as much as he made it sound.

i think you forgot where you are, this is TigerDroppings.com and this is the Tiger Rant forum..Just Saying..

It is quit possible that he did it out of frustration and didn't mean a word of it. I'm sure nobody on this board has ever done that

I haven't been keeping up with this much except to know that it happened. But I wonder if the Barksdale thing is similar to what happened with "Mike the Tiger"'s Twitter page.

Expecially since a couple of people have pointed out that he either changed his screen name or had more than one. Wonder if someone was just posing as he said. Article above makes it sound like it is possible and that was before the "Barksdale" tweets (??).

I don't know but I am inclined to believe him especially considering he has been a pretty standup guy since coming here. Never any word of him being a problem and especially not a "cancer" like some Rantards chose to say.
