I have become a huge fan of this dude...he is freaking hilarious. Someone who can take what he has been through and turn it into a comedy routine is worthy of a Glad to see he is home and tweeting.

I know some of you guys on this board know him...and I know he is a poster and what-not...but how did he become an LSU football fan? I don't know the connection...and sorry if Germans...

Pretty sure his dad used to come on business trips to Baton Rouge and would always pick up LSU gear for him. He wanted to play baseball at LSU, but Smoke fricked it up (I think).

Pretty sure that's what he said on the OT a while back.

Hey cuz, I thought he was bigger fans of Patrick Coogan and Kevin Shipp. Maybe it was just me.

For fans of teams other than LSU this is going to sound like he started hitting the pipe. Which is probably true but not the reason he didn't go to LSU.

i believe he signed out of high school as a 17th rounder and decided to go pro, dont think many coaches could stop that.

Funny. But to be fair, Smoke did that to half his team at some point in the season.
