If you give a crap about LSU and their players why is this even a thread??? And to talk about what he was or was not at LSU... He has a NFL contract now and does get playing time, so he must be doing something right! Some of these arguments are absolutely ridiculous. If you are honestly a true LSU fan you should NOT spend your time talking trash about current or former players. I don't understand this logic.
Not on the record, Rex Ryan was passing through after visiting with his brother in Nola. The current Dolphins' and former Tigers' were the only ones who made the trip from Miami, no other employees. It was a "recruiting" visit.
I read one article that stated Cam Cameron called EVERY NFL team in the league, and the ones most interested in LC more than once.
Im sorry but this has to be the silliest damn thread I have ever read, especially since it is dealing with a murder investigation. What adult post on a message "na-na na-na boo boo, go stick your head in doo doo. I know something you don't know & I'm not telling, but my information is most likely correct." "Hey so in so give me your email and we can see if our rumors match."
Not one bit of the this investigation makes any sense, but neither did taking 49 pair of Jordon Jefferson's shoes make any damn sense either. From the information that has been given to the media, I do not believe anything can be assumed. And to say he should have done this or he should have done if he was innocent, is so silly.
Are any of you guys that are posting he is going to straight to jail, not passing go, not collecting $100, credible? Where are you getting your information? I don't mean names... But is it word on the street? Or do you have a friend, who has a sister, that has the hots for a jailer who overheard something? Are you on bike patrol? Or did you just have a dream about this last night while staying at a holiday inn express?
I knew some of you could not resist talking about JJ and his football skills or lack there of... I did not go there!!! I just want to know where all the TD posters are that were so awesome during that fiasco.
Okay, so I'm not going to lie... I became obsessed with TD during the whole Jordan Jefferson bar fight debacle. Like him or hate him, whatever your opinion of his football playing ability, you would have to agree he got a royal screwing by the BRPD. While he was being nailed to the wall, the media was very happy to report every little negative & at times false information.
Day after day, and many times throughout the day I would visit this site for believe it or not, the most current & accurate information there was available. There was some honest investigative, sometimes really humorous reporting happening. (Not that I believe there is one thing humorous about La'el Collins' situation!) Pictures & videos were taken & posted all throughout the entire ordeal. I was very impressed with not just the information but correct information y'all had.
I get JJ was charged with felony battery & this is a murder investigation; but if La'el is only one person of many that BRPD wants to speak with, then why can't anyone find who the others are? How do they know the suspect asked to use her car? How do they know she refused? Did they steal her car afterwards? Was her daughter home & witnessed this horrible crime?
Where are all you investigative reporters that got me hooked on TD the last time BRPD had an investigation involing a LSU football player? I need you, I'm desperately seeking your reporting skills. Help us out that don't live down in the Bayou!!!
And yes, one of the ones, I'm speaking of had the chicken/rooster head on his media pass.
Fact remains the same... NO other name has been mentioned to the media!!!! Surely, BRPD have gotten in contact with everyone else they want to speak to or they are in process of doing so at this time.
However, I don't see a scrolling message at the bottom of my television with names of people staring please contact BRPD at your earliest convince, we want to speak with you.
Who are the others? Why was his name the ONLY one "leaked"? It makes no sense! One has to believe his name was leaked by BRPD.
And like Jordan Jefferson or NOT; that kid got a royal screwing by BRPD, and yes there was some major grandstanding the entire time during that debacle!
I have a question... I have searched & searched but canNOT find any other names besides La'el's, for people the BRPD are wanting to speak with in connection with this investigation. Plenty of sources have cited BRPD want to speak with numerous people, well who are they? Why only "leak" one name, if you want to "speak" to "many"? Is it he was about to be drafted in the first round of the NFL draft & the others are just ordinary run of the mill joe blow citizens?
I'm not being a smart@ss!!! I'm honestly perplexed why we know his name & no other names. Do any of you know the CORRECT answer? Or is there a correct answer?
This is the same police department that charged Jordan Jefferson with a felony for a fight in a parking lot of a bar; in which they seized 49 pair of his shoes for evidence, including the ones he had on the day of the "search & seize"! 49 pair!!! And after all were "tested" for evidence none were presented to the Grand Jury!!! Oh speaking of the Grand Jury, they said not enough evidence for a felony charge of battery. And this dragged on for how long, before he could return to the normalicy of his life? (If innocent, La'el does NOT have the luxury of time on his side.) I'm just saying!!!
There is so much sepulation... I have read articles that have stated the baby is girl, other articles state a boy, some state she was 7 months pregnant, others state 8 months.
My thoughts are if he had nothing to do with it; the timing is very unfortunate for him. And I have faith things happen for a reason & God has a plan for him.
If he is involved, geez, why??? He was about to be drafted in the first round. It is not uncommon for players to have babies out of wedlock. Pay child support, raise your child be there as a dad, & continue life.
No matter what, a life was taken! A mother taken from her kids, a daughter taken from her parents, a sister taken from her siblings, a relative taken from her loved ones, and a friend taken from ones who loved her & this is horrible! While people debate semantics on this message board a family grieves for a loved one. May The Lord watch over the family mourning the loss of the loved one & also watch over La'el Collins and his family because either way this goes they too will need your comfort, peace, & guidance.
Oooohhhh I see, said the blind man! I just assumed... But that is what happens when one assumes! But the Kid still has skills!!!
Fournette has been posting pics of himself with R Sherman & another with M Lynch "Beast Mode". I don't understand how he was out in Arizona this afternoon, then at the game this evening????? The kid has skills, some serious skills!!!!

Do they not get new gloves every week, if they want them? Those gloves are given away after games. Most players have several sets of gloves in their locker/cubby. And LSU doesn't do this as much, but other schools have different uniforms, some every game, my understanding is... They keep those jerseys. I know some schools even get two jerseys for bowl games & the players keep both.
Basically, someone is making a mountain out of a mole hill. And to call someone a thug or a criminal because of this... Walk a mile in their cleats... Before you judge!!!
Outside the realm of music, Hornsby is a regular basketball player and an avid fan of the sport.[15] As such, he can frequently be seen at college basketball games around the state of Virginia.[6] He is also a friend of former St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, and attends games in St. Louis whenever he can. Their friendship led to La Russa introducing Hornsby to jazz bassist Christian McBride, which then led to the formation of The Bruce Hornsby Trio (along with drummer Jack DeJohnette) and their first album, Camp Meeting.

Hornsby and his wife Kathy have twin sons: Russell, who runs Division I track at the University of Oregon, and Keith, who played Division I basketball for the UNC Asheville Bulldogs[40] from 2011 to 2013. In June 2013 he transferred to Louisiana State University.[41] They were named after musicians Leon Russell and Keith Jarrett, respectively.... So says Wikipedia!
Watched him play this past year... And the kid is flat out legit!!! He is from Gladewater, TX. Any of you know where this is??? It is a very small town in the Piney Woods of East Texas. Gladewater plays against schools such as Carthage, Gilmer, Kilgore, Chapel Hill & Henderson, all of which just rotate State Championships, year after year, respectfully!!! Not just for this kid, but for his entire town, this whole recruiting thing is a big deal. For fans of different schools it is easy to sit back & judge him, say tacky things about him, but it is his right to change his mind every day, heck every hour if he wants. I want nothing more than to see him in Purple & Gold, playing for the Tigers, but being from East Texas and from one of those towns, Carthage, that he dismantled, I wish him nothing but the best at whatever school he decides to play for, he is a great kid, both on & off the field. I do hope he gives LSU a second look.

Gladewater also used him as a FB & not just in the jumbo pkg! The dude is a beast!!!! He went both ways the night we played them & was still going strong at the end of the game. When he carried the ball, he was unstoppable; just carried kids draped on him.
I'll take Bridgewater every day of the week and twice on Sunday over Mettenberger. Bad coaching, sorry clock management, whatever you want to say... Mettenberger sucks, he is one of the ones, that has smoked a little too much wacky weed. He looks totally lost on the football field. Give it up, as long has he is the starter, LSU will not be playing for a national championship, just like as long as Romo starts in Dallas, no Super Bowl for the Cowboys!!

Oh my geez... Holy Horse Doobers!!!! :banghead: :banghead:

No, No, No! Please people quit!!! There is no more to the story.... The dude can't play in the SEC, Butler JC yes, but this isn't JuCo, and Dorothy aint in Kansas anymore! Give it up, suck it up, and move on.
We can recruit damn good QB's we just can't develop them once they get here.
Remember, once there was time we used to recruit the top place kickers in the state and nation, they would get to LSU and could NOT kick their way out of a wet paper sack.
Now, the Voodoo is on our QB. :rolleyes:

The week before LA Tech's QB's was 44-of-58 for 449 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. He carried the ball 9 times for 26 yards, third on the team in rushing for the night. Against the very same defense!
So if there was ever going to be a break out game for Mett, this should have been it!!!!
I worked in the recruiting office for Coach Nader many moons ago. I also had cousin who recently graduated from LSU, who also worked in the football office. She worked for three different coaches before graduating... Monken, Peev, then Chavis.
Both of us are from Texas, and attended the game Saturday with PSA's (Prospective Student Athlete or Recruit), both of us wore our Purple & Gold, while the recruits did have on A&M attire or neutral clothing. Everyone we came into contact with were very nice to us, from the recruiting department, to the fans in stands, to the NFL players on the sidelines, to A&M players & Coaches after the game.
Basically, I have no gripes. We had a great time & LSU won. Even in the stands surrounded by all their fans when LSU pulled ahead and we went crazy, nothing, they just laughed.
My only complaint was I got so tired of hearing the QB called by his first name!!!! Not really a true complaint!!!
I was on row 1 behind the A&M football team, and it was very loud, especially during 3rd downs for LSU!I think it just depended on where you were sitting. Most annoying thing to me, was hearing all their fans call the qb by his first name. "Come on Johnny, Great throw Johnny, Way to Johnny..." Never before had I wanted our defense to take someone completely out of the game, like I wanted him out of the game.

re: Watch out for Shep

Posted by Rodeopope on 10/17/12 at 10:38 am to
As a senior, the 6-1, 179-pound Shepard rushed for 1,946 yards and 28 touchdowns and threw for 1,843 yards and 20 touchdowns. Shepard also led Cy-Ridge to a 17-5A district championship in 2007. Alongside Matt Barkley, Shepard was considered the top quarterback of the high school class of 2009 by both Rivals.com and Scout.com before converting to wide receiver upon arriving at LSU.
Although Shepard was heavily recruited by Texas and received interests from Florida, Michigan, and USC, he announced his decision to accept a scholarship from Louisiana State University on March 3, 2008. He committed to LSU since he believed he would get the best chance at playing quarterback there. Texas told Shepard that if he didn't win the starting job at quarterback, then he could play other positions. USC likewise found him to be a Reggie Bush-type player in their offense.

He graduated in December 2008 to start his college career a semester early. Shepard stated that he intended to learn the team's football system during LSU's spring practices that year.
He played in the 2009 Under Armour All-America Game on January 4, 2009. As of March 2009, he was ranked as the #3 Athlete on ESPN150 for the high school class of 2009.

Mettenberger attended Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Georgia. As a senior he threw 2,106 yards passing with 19 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was ranked as the 11th best pro-style quarterback recruit in his class by Rivals.com.

What is the size of Texas? What is the size of Georgia? RS was rated #1 QB in the nation by both Rivals & Scouts coming out of high school and the #3 Athlete. Not only did RS throw for 1800+ yards, he rushed for 1900+ yards. So don't say the guy can't play football; just call it for what it is... The coaching staff has not utilized him to his maximum ability!!! A complete and utter waste of God given talent for whatever reason.

For those of you who were so pissed when Miles played JJ in front of Lee. Same concept, who the hell knows why he does some of things he does. Because he is the head coach, because he can... Most likely so! But don't say RS isn't a good ball player because crazy les doesn't play him!!!! Assinign and Bu11shit!!!
