shite talking plays into. No denying that. But guys like Dylan Moses don't really talk shite but still the threads about him on TD get insane.

It's not that he talks shite, but more about the way he's handled his recruitment. At least we know now that he's most likely headed to Tuscaloosa so we won't be blind sided in a year

that because of

1) hype
2) he literally went to school on LSU's campus
3) his Dads recent comments (and past comments)
4) Bama

I'll never understand someone living in Bama making fun of someone living in LA, or someone living in Arky making fun of someone living in MS, and so on


Yep.

FWIW I never made fun of Louisiana or the south in this thread.

My point is you rarely if ever see fan bases from other Conference states that get so angry at recruits who leave. As if Louisiana kids owe the LSU fan base something. It's so weird.


Because we believe if we scorn the ones that leave the state to the point of absurdity, kids will think twice about taking the money from a division rival.

I honestly can't remember, but they weren't exactly favorable towards LSU, which is why people melted

And he also said that Dylan would be at LSU as long as Les Miles was the head coach. I believe he decommitted shortly after that

Rarely do you see other fan bases rubbing nuts on opposing fans, killing trees on their rival school's campus, housewives starting brawls in the stands of bowl games and kill each other (on multiple occasions) over a football game.


Someone should tell them it's just a game

All that is right on point.

It sadly has nothing to do with the topic of this thread and the only reason you posted any of it is because some part of what I said was true. True enough to make you to feel defensive about it and post some shady shite done by others in order to lessen the embarrassment you feel about your own in this instance.

Was it his truck or a rental truck?

Still not anywhere near as bad as threatening to kill the kids like Bama fans do their players.

Definitely not as bad as death threats no. That's an astute point you made there.

Well every fanbase to a points melts when losing high rated players. The CamRob stuff was because he was taking shots at them. Bama fans would be all over a LSU player if they done that too.

If they start hunting players down or making the comments directly to them for no reason then I can see a problem.
