This is going to be like Drake Nevis vs. our scout team OL...because that's what Allen ran when he was here.

Sounds like a real dick.

You didn't get to go to your first choice...so fricking what. There are plenty of people out their that had to "settle" for their second choice (school, job, spouse) and made the best of it and were ultimately happy. Sounds like you pouted and stewed over it while at LSU, which probably reflected itself in your attitude and performance, which is likely why you never saw the field.

Glad you ultimately got to go (and play) where you really wanted, but I am sure there is a kid out there who would have appreciated the scholly and opportunity you pissed on at LSU.

Sounds to me like this kid always had a hard-on to play for the Aggies, and nothing LSU could have done, even offering him a scholarship that A&M wouldn't provide... would have changed that.

Mostly likely came to LSU thinking he was too good for us. He apparently left that way, too.

Either way, no big loss.

Yeah, nice revisionist history from him in this article.

He committed in April of 2005... a full 9 months before signing day... but yeah he just had to "reluctantly accept that offer at the last minute cause his top offer wasn't there..."

Also his quotes from the Rivals article about his commitment talking about how much he had waited for an LSU offer because he "always wanted to go there."

It's a good story-line but the guy wasn't trying to run smack talk against LSU.


Regardless of his intentions it comes across as derogatory to LSU and is defiantly locker room material, especially throwing away LSU stuff.

Drake will kill this chump.

It's obvious that he is mad for not getting to play here. A&M hasn't been relevant since the 90s and nobody outside of Texas cares anything about them. Their history and tradition is meaningless to anyone else but them. A bunch of guys practicing yelling? Gay. No cheerleaders? Gay. Gig em!?!! Gay. Congrats on making a bowl again. But you're still the Ole Miss of the Big 12.

Gonna have to disagree with you Chazz. A&M was selected to play in the Cotton over Mizzou, and Okie St because we are relevant. Have we sucked? yes. But we're still a big draw.

Looking forward to Jan 7th.

Eh, A&M is still irrelevant, come talk to us after another couple of years like this.

That doesn't prove you are relevant nationally. It just proves that you are more relevant than those two schools...which isn't saying much. OSU and Mizzou? Really?

Plus, A&M was likely picked over OSU and Mizzou because of the amount of alums in the DFW area....and the fact that you haven't been to a decent bowl game in quite some time. This ensures the Cotton bowl being sold out.

After reading that article I had to laugh.

quote:

"Their loss," A&M linebacker Michael Hodges said of Allen's move from LSU, "was our gain."


How is him transfering a loss for us?

quote:

"There's nothing like Kyle Field on a Saturday," Allen said. "The tradition here is second to none. Don't get me wrong, LSU has a good crowd and good fans and a good atmosphere. But I wouldn't compare it to Kyle Field. We have the best student section - it's great."


Wow, just Wow

You guys are really butt hurt over nothing.

OMG.. a player for another team thinks his student section is better.. shocker.

OMG.. a player on his current team thinks it's their gain he's on their team now.



Move on...

I don't think anyone is upset by his comments. He is a nobody who couldn't hang here so he went to a lower level school to play. The A&M fans seem to find every thread possible to defend themselves in. It's like the greatest case of penis envy ever outside of Lafayette.
