LSU losing Landon Collins or Bama losing Jameis Winston?

Looking at the reactions I'd say Collins. LSU fans are quickly becoming more delusional than Alabama fans.

Strange to see the two teams in the national title losing the top player in their respective states.

Collins said he has his mind made up for a long time. We'll see what happens with Winston.

I wouldn't call anyone's choice of a school to go to as an "upset". It is one senior in high school picking where he wants to play ball and go to school. Louisiana students shouldn't feel expected to go to LSU anymore than Alabama students shouldn't feel expected to go to Bama. Or AU.

I think the baseball angle softened it for us. We all thought for so long he was definitely going MLB. Now that there's a chance that he plays baseball and football at FSU, it's just a minor disappointment.

Take baseball out of it and throw in an announcement like LC's and it's a toss up.

I would say Collins. Nobody really seems to be biting their nails over Winston. I know I don't really care if he goes to Alabama or FSU. No offense to the kid, of course.

I'd say Collins too. Landon and his GF had to take their Twitter accounts down. Some of the LSU fans are taking it too far. The shitty ones on our side and on LSU's side make the rational fans look like shite

That's pathetic. Not only from a moral standpoint, but also from a logical one. If there was any chance the kid might change his mind, those assholes are doing all they can to screw it up for their own team.

Yeah, you could see that some of the Twitter handles wasnt set up for trolling either. Most of them had profile pics with websites for work and everything. Most had lots of followers too.

I felt sorry for his GF. She replied to a lot of them and was asking people to leave her alone.

Believe it or not, that's their intentions. At least for now.

"WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU SO MISERABLE TO WHETE YOU CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO BAMA. "

That will show him.

Well, according to some people on the LSU recruiting board, they wouldn't want him even if he changed his mind.

We both know they would welcome him back with open arms. They said similar things about Hill and probably Eugene back in 06 when he verb led to Michigan.

It's a fickle fanbase. I think mama wins out. I've heard stories of mamas in LA having shoes with GPS tracking. The kid will start walking turn the corner and that shoe turns the corner with him. WHAPP !!! IN THE FAAAACE

100% on this. Dont want him, don't need him, he is dead to LSU now. I hope the offcially resind his offer right after NC game. Why dont one of you do an Ohr and just adopt him, I will throw in a beauful Siberian Husky that showed up day after Xmas too. I will bring him too you.

We just want him to leave....really please come and get him. Offer his dad a job or something. We don't care...

But I hate to tell you Fisher is all over South Alabama and I already know two big prospects that he has in the bag. Little Nicky better start spending some more time down here, and you may be on the other side of this next year.

Well if your insiders let you in on this, it's obvious that isnt true.
