By acting like the sky was falling? Calling him a traitor and never to return to the state again? 

I get that it sucks when talent goes out of state, but you guys act like you own the rights to any player in LA. Maybe it's LSU sidewalk fans that only do this but a large portion of you guys take things a bit to personal/serious.

False premise, as usual. LSU recruits great prospects at WR. It's perhaps our most consistently talented position outside DB. The sky wasn't falling when Speedy chose A&M,this was a narrative entirely fabricated by A&M fans so that they could claim some great victory since they never did it on the field and had no legitimate means of backing up all the loudmouth trash talk they'd been throwing LSU's way. It was incredibly transparent.

A&M wanted to get in on the "LSU fans are melting over instate recruit" bandwagon that Bama had a legitimate case on. LSU melted over Collins and Robinson. And to a lesser extent Greg Robinson that went to AU. But not Speedy. But Aggy needed to create the idea of a melt to validate their great "victory" over LSU.
