Nothing against Jennings, he's got a great attitude and work ethic, by all accounts.

But, he had an entire season and for whatever reason it just didn't work.

While that certainly was your right, you might the only fan in history of college football to give up their tickets after their team wins 89% of their games the 2 yrs. before, goes undefeated to the SEC for the 1st time 50+ yrs,, and plays in a NCG.

That's a awful big chip on your shoulder. What LSU football team did you follow before that caused you to be so unhappy with the 2010-2011 teams???

Where do people get this? Recent events suggest otherwise.

And since his reinstatement he's seemed pretty lackluster. I guess he only has a "great attitude" when he knows he'll start.

His first two and one-half years at LSU.

More recent events support it.

It's amazing how much YOU think you can glean from two minutes of video.


You don't have to bash Jennings to support Harris. You know that right?

Kind of like how Jennings supporters made up crap about Harris being lazy and a headcase to support Jennings? Works both ways. The difference is one has evidence to back it up, the other is just hearsay.

Charges dropped at the request of the victim and inconsistent and contradictory statement provided. We only heard the "victim's" side of the story. Now we hear that the "victim" provided inconsistent and contradictory statements.

Are you offering this statement to excuse your bashing of Jennings? That's bullshite. Take responsibility for your statements.

And don't lay this bullshite at my feet. I never said that Harris was lazy or a headcase. I think Harris has talent and has improved tremendously from last year. He might very well be the starter this year.

To clarify, I don't have anything against Anthony Jennings as a person. We all make mistakes. And it WAS a mistake otherwise Les wouldn't be imposing internal punishment. He doesn't come out of this squeaky clean. The way some people on the rant go on and on about his great attitude just irks me because the same people can't bring themselves to say the same about Harris. ...and you're correct in saying I shouldn't put you in that category when I haven't read all your posts. I respect that. It sounds too much like these people are just trying to make themselves feel better by pulling things out of midair. And I know the practice vids are very short, but IMO they're pretty telling.

"I'll start next year." -Jennings after bowl game. That didn't help. We'll see just how great his attitude is if he's on the bench. And if it is, all good. I'm just skeptical so far as to whether his work ethic/attitude is truly genuine, or based on the condition that he's starting QB.

I don't give a flying flip who starts in Sept.. I will leave that to a coaching staff who gets to see the 2 guys 24-7 in practice and who is paid millions.

Having said that and not excusing anything, Jennings being "arrested and charged with possessing Jennings' stolen laptop" is pretty amusing in my book.

Mett could easily pass Flynn up this year if Mariota shits the bed, which I expect he will.

Looks like he is going to die on the Brandon Harris sword like he did Jordan Jefferson.

pocket presence. thinking on your feet. making the most of broken plays. Leadership. Mett was tough, but he lacked in all of these.
