Doesnt matter. We still continue to lose the PR battle.
At this point, we are about to get enough bad press we will end up letting TCU get Allen

I mean frick LSU, who is running this shite show?

The florida debacle, they were the dicks, yet we come out looking like assholes, and we are the ones that get two straight future road games out of it


The band debacle. We make this big statement that no other full band will be allowed in tiger stadium. We get negative press, and clearly we have no fricking person ready to say why we have good reason for this, and we cave and say ok we were dumbfricks bands can play


Now this shite.

Probably something they didn't anticipate becoming a big story. That was a miscalculation.

I agree that you should clear the air and let it be known why this is happening, unless other coaches have dirt on O for doing the same thing.

There is plenty more. We are horrific at controlling the narrative, even when the truth is on our side

LSU blocking Allen stems from what the Tigers staff believes was the recruitment of Allen before the player left LSU or discussed his transfer with the LSU staff.

This would be in violation of the NCAA rule on impermissible contact.

"An athletics staff member or other representative of the institution’s athletics interests shall not make contact with the student-athlete of another NCAA or NAIA four-year collegiate institution, directly or indirectly, without first obtaining the written permission of the first institution’s athletics director (or an athletics administrator designated by the athletics director) to do so, regardless of who makes the initial contact," NCAA rule 13.1.1.3 states

It seems we are in the right here. And Willie Allen isn't even upset per him. Seems he and O have a good relationship.

But someone needs to step up for LSU....uh Joe?

Dude, I get that. My point is we suck so much arse at PR, that even when we have the high ground, we come off looking like the assholes.

It has been consistent here recently

What needed to have happened was that at the time Allen announced his intentions to transfer, a "source" within the athletic dept "leak" to Dellenger that Allen can transfer to any school outside the SEC except for on unnamed school that contacted him while still a part of the program.

Maybe we don't want to start being a feeder program for TCU after Diarse amd Willie Allen. "Hey you don't start at LSU by year 2, come over here to TCU" You know theyd be just fine cultivating that.

I'd be ok if we had an internal policy of only allowing 1 transfer to a specific P5 school in any 2 year period.

Let as many FCS and G6 kids go wherever they want, but LSU shouldn't be investing in kids to have some other P5 start reaping the benefits.

Looks like some folks are down voting any suggestion that LSU handles its PR battles in a less than perfect manner or that we sometimes look bad...

If TCU was trying to recruit him while he was on the Tigers roster, this puts Gary Patterson in the same category as Roy Williams, who was probably trying to recruit Lester Earl while he was still at LSU.

Les firing, Coaching Search, Ed hiring, Craig & Juluke firings and this satellite camp business.

Is there any way we can blame Joe Alleva for these things?

Damn dude or chick, don't take this shite so personal. It will be alright.

Who the frick cares? The only reason I would even slightly be against the ban is that I don't mind the other universities spending money to transport the whole band for such an insignificant amount of time to play and perform. I would rather have bands than piped in music but you get that anyway.

Now this shite.


frick yeah, 24/7 365 frick yeah. frick Bellmonte, Texas and TCU. The only thing is that these guys will now know to make sure the LSU coaches don't know what has been going on illegally.

I remember when Lane Kiffin was at Tennessee and stated that "bad press is better than NO press". I thought and still do think he is an idiot but by god, after seeing news on every message board/sports site every day I realized the guy had a point.

The publicity Ole Miss is getting right now is BAD, real BAD. The publicity LSU is getting is trivial and successfully getting LSU's name out there and isn't costing anybody a fricking dime.

Read elsewhere that it was TCU who recruited him off the team. If that's really the case then screw them. Pretty dumb of them knowing LSU could block it and it screws the kid who got misled. But LSU will be painted the bad guy here.

Who cares, I mean really?

That's beta level worrying what everyone thinks of you.

People talked shite on LSU before this without merit, doesn't change anything.
