geez. Go WATCH 1 & Done.
When you’re insinuating being paid to go to a school, that’s bad mouthing it. When you say you didn’t go to class, that’s bad mouthing it.

Alum

There are high school kids who come to LSU for a week in the summer for 4-H Short Course who are more deserving of that title. They put in more academic work for sure.

Alum -a graduate or former student of a specific school, college, or university
So now bein a student at a university for less than a year makes you an alum?


It has always been that. Though mistaking the term Alum to mean a graduate is fairly common. I made the same mistake for years until someone took the time to correct me.

Calling him an alum is a stretch. He spent more time in my house filming his Showtime special than he ever spent in an LSU classroom.

Nop. Still not behind him.
Most can’t stand what he did.

Had he kept his mouth shut, people would have supported him.
If he didn’t want to be “forced” to go to college, he could have went overseas a for a year. He CHOSE to come to LSU, then talked about how he didn’t go to class, was offered cars, watched, etc WHILE IN SCHOOL.
WTF.

Students that went to LSU for one semester and drop out to be an oil baw do not get LSU alumni stickers on the back of their trucks near the nuts.

LSU gave us alumni stickers in our packet when we graduated.

Yeah, you're not an alumni until you get your stickers from LSU.

Ben Simmons hurt the program. Wish he was never a tiger. We got worse from him being here and just now starting to turn it around.

It takes a special kind of stupid to blame the program tanking under Johnny Jones on the best player we've had in decades.

Yea, Ben Simmons didn't bring national attention with his play, brought the PMAC back to life, and lead the team in nearly all statistical categories
