Well shite man, our gun toting players were recruited by LSU and are from Louisiana.

I rather enjoy both guns and drugs. Why would I care if some football players do the same.

If they are arrested for breaking stupid laws, like those prohibiting arbitrary lists of specific guns and drugs, not sure why I would care about that either.

Now, if the players actually hurt anyone like they do at Tennessee and Baylor, that's another story. I'd probably just find something else to do with my Saturdays.

You wouldn't have a team at all. One or the other would catch everyone. Hell, Tebow is from Florida so odds are better than 50/50 that even he owns a gun.

Well plenty of LSU players have been arrested in the past few years and or kicked off the team for drugs and shite. So how are you liking that bad rep with no championships?

Just off the top of my head, didn't LSU recruit Jordan Jefferson, Jeremy Hill, and Ryan Perriloux? And while Jonathan Taylor signed with Bama after being kicked off of UGA's team, LSU recruited him and offered a scholarship as well...

Pot, meet kettle...

I am talking about recruiting athletes that win you championships but also give your school s reputation of guns and drugs and arrests.




LSU does this every year without the championships. Sad, really.

Outside of ivy league schools the football world shares these issues. Plain and simple, u can't recruit just the fine citizens of this country and be competitive. Why? You'll get a different answer based on who u ask.
We all could do that and we'd also fire coaches every 3 years.

If this was possible to recruit kids that would never have any issues then the army navy game would be 1 vs 2 every year. No, unfortunately I wouldn't trade and neither would anyone else...If they are being honest.

How would I know? He's been dead for over 30 years. Dude died when I was a baby.

I will say this, according to the rant, Bear was a drunk and a cheat, so now you want me to think he wouldn't allow drug and gun culture?

Also, drug and gun culture does not define Bama. WINNING defines the Bama program. You know that and you hate that, which is why you're trying to trot this narrative out.

I guess you're done bitching about Florida, and ate back to your usual routine of being our bitch.

Now get your arse off the computer and go make Nick and sandwich.

My bad, I thought you were talking about hiding behind the logistical inconveniences a hurricane brings to avoid a possible conference loss while every other team in the foreseen path of said hurricane finds a way to play their games, including two women's teams from the same school.

That's just sad, LSU has no integrity, and not only will they not get a championship, they won't even get to play for it.
