quote:
bensimmons25: I want to thank everyone who has supported me during my time at LSU, my coaches, my teammates, the administration and especially the fans. Even though my time at LSU was brief, I know I have found a second home and will always be representing the gold and purple wherever I am. THANK YOU #lsutigers #LSU

Ben, please take JJ with you. Now he can help you in the NBA. You need him!

broadcaster•110 months

Why is everyone down on Ben? The only real thing he did wrong was quit in the TexasA&M SEC Tournament game, sure he could've been more aggressive is some games but that's not his game we're not used to seeing overseas players. Shaq in his prime would not have made the tournament with this team and coaching staff. this kid will get to the NBA and do very well and he always will represent Louisiana State University as long as he is in an NBA lineup

atltiger6487•110 months

so "overseas" players aren't aggressive? Where do you come up with this nonsense.

C3W•110 months

Although I enjoyed the preseason hype... Glad he's gone now. Tired of hearing about him.

This is why the 1 year rule need to be done away with. What on "God's green earth"does one year in college does? Absolutely nothing but forces kids to waste a whole year in college. It's not his fault but the flawed system created to create more revenue for the ncaa.

Deafdome•110 months

Agreed

atltiger6487•110 months

The 1 year rule is the NBA's rule. Has nothing to do with the NCAA.

therealchampion•110 months

The 1 year rule has everything to do with the ncaa. The ncaa approached the nba about the rule change, and the nba powers to be agreed.

Cheesy Beaver•110 months

No, thank you Ben! Thank you for being an absolute disappointment! Would do it again.

Rakim•110 months

Dude just go... Feels dirty like a one night stand.

Deafdome•110 months

Best reply ever!

Deafdome•110 months

Time for the walk of shame!

Deafdome•110 months

Probably getting LSU confused with Monteverde Academy. His time with us was so brief and upsetting. He just wants to leave it in the past without the lose of fans.Dont hold it against him he left with nothing to lose only to gain. Why stay one more year and risk coach JJ ruin you more than he already has.

atltiger6487•110 months

""gold and purple???" What team is he referring to?" Who are the two idiots who downvoted this? It doesn't get under your skin that he referred to us as "gold and purple?" To me, it shows how very little he knows or cares about our university.

lsusportsman2•110 months

Either you're the biggest pussy in the world or the biggest retard in the world. Which is it?

atltiger6487•110 months

in reply to lsusportsman2, I'm fairly sure I'm neither a pussy nor a retard. I'm just a guy that understands Simmons didn't give one single frick about LSU. I think it's crystal clear. Really amazed that others can't admit that to themselves.

atltiger6487•110 months

"gold and purple???" What team is he referring to?

themunch•110 months

thank you man

All the Simmons supporters in here need to realize this "classy post" followed him deleting everything LSU related off of his IG account. Yeah, the kid is all about the purple and gold.....

LSU Patrick•110 months

How dare he. It's clear just from reading these comments just how supportive the LSU fans have been of him lately. :rolleyes:

tigerfan5803•110 months

He has literally two pictures on his IG. One is of him in his LSU uniform. Shut the frick up.

DuckSausage•110 months

He deleted all pictures except for 2, which happens to include an LSU pic...

pellietigersaint•110 months

classy instagram post. leave it to the idiots of td.com to turn it into a bitch fest. I am baffled how quickly people turned on this kid. Good luck to him!

Tigers4Lyfe•110 months

If you're baffled you haven't been paying attention.

pellietigersaint•110 months

@tigers4lyfe Watched every game..........every one. went to every home game minus 3. been very attentive. attentive enough to know how absolutely shitty a portion of this fan base can be. the kid was railroaded by PG who was pissy that the attention wasnt on his supposed "breakout year" and was mired by a coach who if fricking clueless

Tigers4Lyfe•110 months

Ha ha....no, I mean if you're baffled about td.com participants turning it into a bitchfest then you haven't been paying attention.

AustinKnight•110 months

Sorry I'll always have a bad taste in my mouth thinking of him and his one season. Also saying Gold and Purple tells he was about invested in LSU and much as going to a few easy classes out of respect to himself and University.

TNG8r•110 months

He could care less about the fans.... He was only there bcse of $$$ and had to play one year.

Jon Ham•110 months

Doesn't know the difference between gold and yellow? No wonder he's a college dropout.

pellietigersaint•110 months

you sound like a jealous bitter hater. Its not his fault you live a miserable life

Tiger Nation 84•110 months

Purple and gold bro

TigerWise•110 months

Purple and gold

Brummy•110 months

He's Australian, so everything's backwards, just like the toilets.
