some gems on Tigerdroppings,
this is a response to another LSU fan who believes the CR commitment is not a big deal:
"Yes, of course, your position is quite rational. When a team that is already ahead of us on the field, has three NC's to our zero in the last four years, and has beaten us the last two times we played, takes the best player in our home state - the third best player in the nation and one we admittedly offered and wanted -- that helps the LSU program. Naturally, that is the proper conclusion. One would never conclude that losing five star in-state recruits to Alabama is simply a bad thing. That would be insanely honest. "
here's another one who posted on the huge loss of CR to Bama:
"I simply can't agree with that. Whoever LSU signs to replace Robinson will be a lesser ranked player, less desirable even according to our own staff. Bama gets an incrementally better player, LSU gets an incrementally worse player. Over time, expecially in a series that has been markes by close games, those incremental differences translate to wins and losses.
In short, it would have been better for LSU to land Robinson instead of Bama. Anyone would agree, I think. And as a rational, objective fan, when something occurs that hurts LSU and benefits Bama, I get disappointed. "
:BigA:
