re: Have I ever been as emotionally invested in an LSU player as a pro..

Just to play devil's advocate, had Bert Jones been drafted by the Saints, there would have been many down here invested in him 'as a pro.'

Cam led his college team to a NC, then ended up playing a few hundred miles to the east away. Alabama has no pro team, they pull for the Saints, Titans, Falcons, or Panthers.

Even though Archie played at Ole Miss, all Saints fans and most Saints fans who were LSU fans, loved him.
