re: Why do LSU fans defend Fournette with such vigor?

I believe this is the phrase that most other fans are bothered by, "once in a generation type player". For some reason to me personally if you are going to put that kind of tag on a player before he even sees the field it's going to raise some hackles, especially when the rest of the football world just doesn't see it.

For the most part I think he was a great ambassador for the school and did much better than average, I did loose a little respect of the Sterling T-Shirt but that is the only negative I can recall.
