Seems odd

The team he actually played for isn’t even melting

when you say melt, do you mean point and laugh? because LSU is pointing and laughing.

I think it's just the 'Bama obsession. I mean, they're still not over Saban leaving, and that was 20 years ago.

Maybe because it's fun to point and laugh at a guy who transfers to a division rival only to fall flat on his face!

I'm not of fan of ricks, but I don't really understand the 46938 threads here about him.

No it’s the quitting in his second season, saying he wasn’t shutting it down to transfer but did, asking to wear #7 and then trolling LSU fans about it, talking shite leading into the Alabama/LSU game, etc. It has less to do with Alabama and way more to do with him being a prima donna. He could have gone to Ohio State and would be receiving the same treatment.

Should change your name to tigerfaninc since you only post about LSU.

That or seek help.

It’s cute that you truly believe this.

There would be half the threads or less if he went to OSU.

You would have to be a fan of a football school to understand.

Did you forget Arik Gilbert? Did he go to Alabama?

Great example! There have been significantly less threads about Gilbert than Ricks. Both had a lot at first, but Ricks has had substantially more Rant “staying power.”

He hasn’t been talked about since November. The draft was today. How tone deaf are you?

While extensive research isn’t available, a simple search of the Rant yields the following available data (cuts off at 10/31/22):

Gilbert search: 6 pages back to 10/31
Ricks search: 16 pages back to 10/31

Who’s being dishonest?

Edit: before you claim “draft bias”, know that at least 10 of the Ricks pages were prior to 1/1/23.

And Gilbert has been in the news and transferred again in Jan 2023.

It’s ok, you can admit the obsession. We all know it’s true, and admitting it is the first step to recovery.

Why did other fans melt about LSU players not getting drafted? Seems like there is melts all around over here not just LSU fans.
