Have LSU fans stopped to consider that their shitty discipline and culture were to blame for whatever perceived personal shortcomings these athletes have?

But go off.


So how is LSU's "discipline and culture" to blame for someone selling Gilbert a bad bag of weed?

He’s not talking about Ricks. He’s talking about Gilbert.

Try to keep up.

It’s clear the kid left because Kelly was bringing in a culture of responsibility and he wanted nothing of it. Now he’s at another culture of responsibility and he wants nothing of it. That’s not the culture’s fault, it’s Ricks’s fault.
What was the culture prior to Kelly being hired? Was that culture Ricks' fault?

Willie keeps putting up a "infographic" that forgets LSU lost to Alabama, Arkansas and Ole Miss last year (all top 25 teams) without Ricks. I can understand why he wants to forget that 3 game losing streak. And really... are you claiming LSU went 24-4 vs the top 25 in the last 2 years??? That is 28 games. LSU has only played a total of 23 games since 2020... So every game they played was vs the top 25 plus 5 extra games? (and if you want to throw in the Clemson game on Jan 13, 2020, that doesn't really help your case) Sure willie. He is special isn't he.

The culture was bad, and Rick’s didn’t care until it was clear that the culture would soon be changing. So, he went ring chasing to Bama, and when he got there it was a rude awakening, and, after an entire Spring and off-season, he still hasn’t assimilated. That should tell you all you need to know about this situation.

As far as Gilbert is concerned, I hope he gets better. Mental illness is much different than just being irresponsible and uncoachable. With the right supports in place, and ongoing treatment, Gilbert could be ok, and I hope he is.

That guy doesn't know what he's saying. Ricks was transferring no matter who the new coach was. I think he transferred because he wants the easiest route to a natty. He hopped on the LSU train when we were dominating, then moved on to the most dominant team in college football.

Time will tell with Ricks. It wouldn't surprise me if Saban is motivating the kid. Regardless of the occasional down season by Alabama standards and changes in the game, I am not stupid enough to count Saban out.

Football aside, I hope all people who suffer from mental illness have access to treatment. We've had a mental health crisis in this country for a while and there is a tendency to prescribe meds in lieu of actual treatment... and that is for those people who have actually sought help as opposed to just keeping it inside, self medicating, and/or doing some other self destructive behavior.

Also, really liked O. He met O when he was kid at a USC camp or something. He was at LSU to play for O more than he was to play for LSU.

Same with Gilbert and Joe Brady.

Who is Kevin Hagan?

I googled and all I could find was a dead actor and someone on twitter who says the voices in his head speaks Klingon.

what about the fanbases that give such a shite about a player that decided to transfer out? You're a hypocrite.

So you want to shite on LSU fans for asking about Ricks (and Gilbert) but in turn, you're probably one that shite on LSU because Ricks (and Gilbert) decided to leave.

Are we pretending that Bammers haven't spent the summer talking shite about Jahleel Billingsley and Agiye Hall?
