re: Y'all happy now?

if you are willing to talk trash to someone by text, you should be able to say to his face, and deal with the consequences. otherwise, it's pretty chickenshit

How the hell is it justified to "label" an entire fanbase on the actions of maybe a handfull.
The texters are probably college students.
What do you expect? It is the time of life to be "in your face." Be "radical"
I have seen tons of well wishes extented to Tebow and his injury from LSU fans. Why isn't this the story.

One drunk in a church...and thats who everyone talks about.

Seems like no more effort than going to the press about it.

I personally would rather see these dipshits exposed, if people really are texting "threats" to other players.

This again. It's overkill to tell the police or press the numbers, but not overkill to run to the press to talk about it in the first place?

If it's not, it'll shut that shite down fast. If it's LSU fans, shame on them and a big frick YOU for making us all look bad

So which one do you think is more likely?

Florida players scheming together to make us look bad in the media OR some LSU fans doing what they've been doing for 3 years now?

ETA: if you're more upset at Rome for generalizing us all as a "fanbase" like we are all alike than at the people actually doing these childish pranks then oh well. Rome is still right.

You edited this before I responded so I'll take this here.

I'm not upset at Rome at all. I have no concern at all for what the guy says. I don't listen to him or watch his show. What he says about LSU, her fans, or any other sports topic for that matter does not effect me in the slightest. Until this rises to the level of something actually happening (a real threat, etc) then it's simply drama to give reporters something to gab about. No thanks...

I'm actually more upset with LSU fans who seem all to eager to automatically throw the entire fanbase under the bus any time someone makes a claim. Look...I'm VERY tough on LSU fans. I absolutely HATE a huge amount of their boorish behavior, and have on numerous occasions put myself between a poor acting LSU fan and a visiting fan when I felt it was appropriate. But I'm not willing to autmatically believe each and every claim made by anyone is a position to bitch simply because they make them. I've also seen far too much ridiculously cordial behavior from my fellow LSU fans to toss them all under the bus with the bad.

Any negative fuel will be exploited by ESPN you can bet your money on it, but they are also good on covering up other things when it concerns their biases.
