re: Javien Toviano Arrested

Posted by DocBugbear on 7/22/24 at 4:24 pm

I agree that the allegations are very troubling. All I've been saying is that we should wait for all the facts to come out before deciding he is beyond redemption. Sometimes things look horrible in the early reports (as they do here), but when the full story comes out it doesn't look nearly so hor...

[quote]Didn't you admit that you have never met Toviano before? How would you possibly know this? Is it because you talked to the 9th grade English teacher at his high school?[/quote] That same source told me that LSU was one of Toviano's two favorites in May of 2022 when everyone else thought he w...

No. I'm saying there are good people that make mistakes and commit crimes to become criminal. They make amends and pay whatever price is needed and return to living a life without any further transgressions. There are other people that just make bad choices all the time and end up lifelong crimin...

I'm merely pointing out that there's a difference between someone that can't keep out of trouble and someone that is generally a good person that makes a really bad mistake. The latter will...

Whenever a player gets arrested, there is always a shortage of information, and there are always people that assume the worst and fill in the blanks. Some of you (that have likely never even met Javien) have already compared him to Cecil Collins. I would urge everyone to have a little patience and...

re: What is the vibe at LSU right now for FB recruiting?

If he signs elsewhere, then he's over-rated. Funny thing is, this seems to be back up by statistics ...

re: Re-watched the Cecil Collins games

If only Cecil could have kept his arse out of trouble. 4 games. 72 carries. 596 yards. That's an average of 18 carries for 149 yards per game (8.3 yards per carry)....

re: dammit! i can't help hoping Emery can live up to the promise

Posted by DocBugbear on 6/22/24 at 3:50 am

Best case scenario is that he knows this is his last chance to earn a chance at the pros, and it lights a fire under his arse. Then we will see what he can really do, and he had a lot of potential coming out of high school. Maybe... Maybe... he can be that guy at this level. Worst case scenario,...

re: Why would Emery come back to LSU?

Posted by DocBugbear on 6/9/24 at 5:56 pm

[quote]Why would Emery come back to LSU?[/quote] He's got one season to make a big enough splash to get to the pros. LSU's RB is thin, and they have a top OL in the country. So, he's gonna get some chances. If he delivers on the chances he gets, then he'll get even more chances. If he looks good ...

re: TX is Now Our Biggest Threat to Louisiana Recruits - True or False

Posted by DocBugbear on 6/4/24 at 1:37 pm

Texas is doing what A&M recently did, and I expect they will see similar results. They had a good year and are desperate for more. So now they are trying to buy players to push the team over the top. But you can't buy a team. They're bringing in the most entitled players. They won't have chem...

[quote]It's not light. We've been scared because of the last 2 years, but that is not the norm. Let's just go to 2020 and 2021 where we didn't have QB that ran much. We used 4 RBs total in 2020 with the 4th RB only getting 5 carries. In 2021, we used 6 RBs, but the 5th and 6th RBs totaled 3 carries....

Posted by DocBugbear on 5/16/24 at 1:39 pm

Four is a little light, but I'm sure there are a couple players in other positions that could step up in an emergency. Plus, I expect we'll take a little pressure off the run game by using quick screens. Should be effective as Nuss has some zip and can get it out there quick and Lacy can pick up s...

re: Dominick McKinley interview

Posted by DocBugbear on 5/15/24 at 5:48 pm

I am not too concerned. It's May. He's aware that his weight is an issue, and if he's speaking about it in an interview, that means he intends to do something about it. He has plenty of time to work on it and correct it. He was a monster at the end of last year. He has the opportunity for s...
