Off the top of my head...

Russell Shepherd
Mettsiah
Anthony Jennings after Arkansas game

and now Leonard Fournette.

LSU fans are destined to be forever disappointed.

That defensive end that looks all muscular yet only has 3 or 4 career sacks.

The Anthony Jennings hype died pretty fast after the bowl.

LSU fans aren't the ones that claimed he was the next Adrian Peterson. That was the recruiting services, but please carry on with your shitty thread.

Dude, the MEDIA hypes these players.
Rivals, ESPN, FoxSports, Scout, and local newspapers, sites, TV and radio, and message boards, etc.
'Mettsiah' was drafted by an NFL team, Shepard is a free agent, and Fournette was the top-rated high school recruit last year - but the media hyped him.

Fans just hype the already hyped - by the media.

LSU had SEVENTEEN players leave for the NFL the last two years. I suppose the NFL teams signed these players because of what the FANS think ??????????

Great athlete stuck in a shitty offense with a horrible QB his entire time here.

Mettsiah


Turned out to be pretty damn good once he got experience and a good OC.

quote:

Anthony Jennings


Jury is still out. Hyping him after 1 drive was dumb. Dismissing him after the Iowa game is equally dumb. Let's see what he does when he has had a full offseason getting reps with the first team.

quote:

Leonard Fournette


By all accounts the hype is accurate. Dude is a man amongst boys. SEC is fricked.

better than saying that our players suck, and infinitely more fun than not saying anything at all (will leave that to others like tennessee). i guess we're just stupid for being happy and/or excited.

Are you really a Tulane fan? If you are, you're on the wrong board. This is a sports board.

You're acting like LSU fans are the only people that get excited about players with potential

eta: and are you really confused as to why people would be excited about getting the number 1 prospect in the nation
