Damn straight. McDs paid you. You owe them loyalty.

always find it comical that a board full of adults that have quit multiple jobs and left multiple situations for situations that better suited them, lambast kids for doing the same.


I’ve been at the same mill my entire career

And won’t be leaving unless they make me!

Translation: I’m mad that talent keeps leaving LSU because our program and coach are dysfunctional

Young athletes now can just decide to move on with no just cause. It promotes quitting and taking the easy way out.

Commitment is no longer honored today, and I am not surprised.


Oh geez. You should be able to transfer between schools if you want to.


People take a job and they do not like it and they use websites like indeed to find another job. Young adults initially go to one college and for some reason they do not like it there so they transfer to another school. Athletes using the transfer portal is basically the same thing. The only problem that I have with it are players that get benched a few games into a season and then redshirt and transfer out because they got benched.

that just means they overestimated the level they could play at. We can’t all play in the SEC. some of us have to go to the Sun Belt or SWAC to play

LOL....I'm am NOT aiming this at LSU. Players come and go, and we have benefited from this as well. I just feel that "commitment" is no longer valued in this country, and the portal is an easy avenue out.

WOW, I had no idea this topic would get so much attention...
good conversation.

Thanks for the reply.
