We are now finding out that Les Miles wasn't what we all thought he was.

it's so funny because MOST people who were either around the program or were running in the uhigh circles knew this stuff. I had tons of friends who were at Uhigh with his son and EVERYONE over there knew he had a secret appartment where he would get with other girls lol.

Obviously there seem to be other things that we didn't know, but the "banging co-eds" stuff wasn't a well kept secret.

So, I get that LSU, in an effort to correct some past mistakes might have changed some policies. It was actually a very smart move. Problem is sometimes when correction done it turns into over correction. (Guess on my part)

I just think being so stringy on weed is dumb. Obviously things were a little different in 2012, but it will be recreationally legal nationwide within the next few years if I had to guess. It's already decriminalized in LA.

My problem is how some LSU fans (and fans of other teams) react when a player transfers.

People (in my opinion) are more upset in the manner in which Gilbert went about doing this. He (seemingly) quit the season early so he could skirt a suspension. I think there's a TON more to the story that we'll never, and don't have any business doing so tbh, find out.

Then, LSU did everything they could to help him out and welcome him back with open arms and he seemed to lead the school on. It is what it is at this point. The portal isn't going to change any time soon, so there's no point in getting really bent out of shape about it. LSU will actually get some major benefit from the portal this year at LB and DB, just as we did last year at LB and the 2 years before that at QB.

Fans are dumb and will always be irrationally butthurt

Shocked me. He seemed to be a quirky old grandfather type to me.

Maybe. But, he's a kid. An immature kid. He probably has never been taught responsibility. Now days people teach and value the ability to get out of trouble and skirt responsibility.
Society values not following rules.
