And the son picks Alabama

[cajunhawk]

She obviously doen't want him to ruin his life by playing for a jerk like Saban.

Or she is just a selfish self absorbed waste of space who is only thinking of herself and how this affects her. Moms these days aren't like they used to be.

It's very simple. His girlfriend is going to Bama to play basketball. Mom doesn't really like the girlfriend.

I believe that there is a modern term to describe her more succinctly, but I wouldn't stoop to such levels...

This mother has a TON of class & knows what's good for her idiot son. You guys ever hear of the saying mama knows best? There's a reason for that.

That "Class" really comes through on the video....

I think its a private matter between the mother and her son, but I wouldn't call her actions last night class. I've never seen a parent not support their kid in the public arena like that in some time. And LSU fans are not doing themselves any favors by some of the things that were said on web sites or tweeted last night. They need to remember that other potential student athletes are watching their actions.

And really, does Collins make or break either schools class this year? If LSU wins the national championship Monday, they have three more weekends this month to find another talented athlete to take his place. It's not that hard when you are National Champions. I'd trade Collins for a national championship every day. JMO

She is just mad she won't be getting treated like LSU royalty in her hometown. I can hear her now..."Landon...you know what dis mean to me socially!! I won't even be able to get a table at Bingo now!!"

I feel bad for that..but it's prolly true.

i'm with 'hawk; with the boy at lsu, she'd be a big shot at home. not now she won't. maybe she can follow him to t'loosa for prestige, but i have a feeling he ain't wantin' that.

From now on she will just be that Collins woman who can't keep her son under control.

there was the same kind of turdish fan reaction when mcknight put the usc hat on his head, but it didn't adversely affect lsu's future. tigers got a championship while joe was there, he got nothing. tigers a step away from another c'ship, and will be pre-season 1 or 2 in '12. i think the anti-collins posts and tweets are stupid, but they'll amount to nothing at all.

Kyle, Saban is a jerk but everybody loved him while he was being a jerk at LSU. The guy came in and turned around a program that hadn't won a national championship since 1959! He pushed for facility improvements like the Student Academic Center, Stadium Expansion and even donated some of his own money. He maybe one of the biggest jerks in coaching period, but he made LSU football relevant again (meaning a top 10 program). Without him, LSU would not be where they are today. Those are the facts my friend.

I agree it's a private matter and she has good reasons to be upset. But there's no reason for her to embarrass her son on national TV. He's going to have a rough few months ahead of him. And his mom not supporting him will make it even worse.
