That's bullshite that Rasco wouldn't want to play for LSU. He better stay his arse in Louisiana.
I appreciate the sentiment. And despite the actual numbers, the perception that ECA and JCC coaches hate LSU has, in my limited experience at least, been pretty accurate. Hell, I know more Texas A&M/Dallas Cowboy fans from north Louisiana than I do LSU/Saints fans!
Regardless, what happens if Rasco does cut-and-run to the Criminoles or, even worse, Tejas? Do we then go after Lavelle Lincome (JC)? Put the full-court press on Clowney? Somebody else? Forget about getting another DE this year?

From the newspaper article:
My initial thought was, if his dad was there to bail him out of jail after each of the four arrests, where was the Dad before the kid was cuffed? But the coach is certainly right, too: there's only so much assistance and guidance you can give a child; at some point they're on their own and need to make correct decisions. Four arrests in six months: agravated assault; underage DUI; contributing; theft? This is beyond tragic. What a sad waste of ability.

"He’s no longer a member of Benton football," said Benton head coach Caleb Guidry at practice this evening. "People usually get three strikes. He got four. I’m in the business to try to help kids, but they have to try to help themselves too."

Just out of curiosity, what were the State of Texas and the Commonwealth of Virginia both doing in 1861-1865? That's right! Fighting for the Confederacy! IT'S OUR HISTORY, DAMMIT -- OWN IT! IT'S TIME TO BE PROUD AGAIN!!!
And as far as the awesome moniker "Zach 'General' Lee," that ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Just a thought: ya might want to get rid of the ridiculous sig-pic of that criminal arsonist Sherman and come on in for the big win, yankee-boy!

Hell yes!! I'm not uncrossing my fingers 'til Wednesday's announcement, though. Phillip Ely and Stephen Rivers: two bad-arse Southern-boy athletes who are, even more importantly, students of the game! And they more-than-likely will get to develop behind Zach "General" Lee, too!! This makes all the QB stress worthwhile; I think we've finally overcome the Perrilloux nightmare and are back on the right track, boys!!

I'm confused: Do the UW students refer to themselves as "Dawgs" too, or is that simply license taken by one poster here? Of course, I understand that a Husky is a breed of dog, but that d-a-w-g spelling is meant to mimic a Southeastern drawl . . . a locale in which Washington is noticeably absent. Ya just really don't hear much of that twang in the great-and-rainy Northwest, ya know? :lol:

Ely IS NOT COMING HERE. Don't know why people keep listing him.
Is this your opinion, or do you have some info to share? It seems perfectly feasible to me that he would come here; i.e., Rivers' committment is a completely different animal. Absent evidence to the contrary, I think he's leaning to ye olde purple and gold!

Don't count us out [for Robinson]: Mama is on our side, and mama usually gets what she wants.
This is actually the best news I've heard re Robinson in a long time; maybe ever. I'd assumed his family was casual or even indifferent to his choice of schools, as long as he followed the modern mantra "what's in HIS best interest (for early playing time, TV exposure, future dollars, etc)." I feel MUCH better now knowing that mama wants him close to home at LSU, rather than two states away . . . stuck in suburban Opelika.
Goddamn, I hate those frickers.
Remember Cassius Marsh last year? He LOVED us, wrote "LSU" on his eye-black patches at the Army AA game, screaming "LSU Tigers, Baby" on the sidelines when the camera was on him, inter alia? Well, he's sho-nuff out in Westwood, wearing that phaggoty baby-blue and sparkly-gold, 'cause MAMA made a call to Rick Neuheisel for the purpose of keeping him home. Just one example among many of how it's worked against us for many years; maybe this year we get it working in our favor for a change!
'Bout damn time!

6. I don't really know any programs who have a real experienced back up to step in if their starter goes down. I would expect any team(including elite programs) to be fricked in that situation. I think a program is extremely lucky to survive it. I don't see why anyone thought we would be any different.

That ordeal with the recidivist Perilloux fricked us good for a couple of years -- we're just coming out of it now. And no way Coach Miles would've taken the heat he's been taking if RP wasn't such a damned criminal.

Yeah; you're right about Fleming -- no way around it. It must be later than I thought: can't believe I left off Jermauria and Odell!

In order of importance (at least to me):
OT Greg Robinson
DT Mickey Johnson
QB Phillip Ely
ILB Travis Hughes
DE Jermauria Rasco
WR Odell Beckham, Jr.
S T.K. Fleming
CB Floyd Raven

I've asked that question before myself; the most common answer I've received was that LSU "quit calling him." I have no idea whether that's truly the case or not, but I certainly agree with you that he's a "damn good" quarterback. Wish we'd kept the heat on him.

If Rivers is from AL why did he not have offers from Alabama or Auburn?
Not sure, but neither did his older brother. Auburn got Kiehl Frazier earlier, and Alabama seems well-situated at QB, so maybe it's a numbers thing. Also, Stephen's dad, a Mississippi State alum, coaches his team; maybe some animosity there? Who knows for sure? I'm just glad we got him!
