You’d should. He attended LSU for more years than half of the die hard Tigers that post here

Didn’t he basically quit before the season was over?

He wore the jersey, recruited for LSU and sweated for us. Not his fault CJJ was awful.

But that means someone who attended LSU for 1 day qualifies as an alum. What is nonsense, as much nonsense as it is to consider Simmons an alum. He was barely here, rarely attended class, and left as soon as he could.
I'll continue considering the definition to mean a graduate of a school.

loved watching ben play in the Purple and Gold. It's not his fault johnny jones is a horrific coach. He put up amazing stats for a freshman and knew he would be special in the NBA. The fans trashing him are pathetic. Geaux Ben congratulations.

Someone who's here 3 years, probably so. But someone who attends for a semester or two? No, I don't consider them an alum.

here's the kicker though. Many fanboys who went or have been going to LSU for 2 semesters then flunk out don't consider me (a SLU alumni) a true LSU fan because I didn't go to LSU at any point. Those same fanboys are the ones hatin' on Simmons.

My point is that students, previous students, or alumni who designate true LSU fans as those who attend the University should be the first to be cheering Ben Simmons on as a great Tiger doing great things. Not the case, imo...
