And the son picks Alabama

[CajunFan3406]

Is there a link to what's being discussed here? I'm assuming Landon Collins chose Alabama over LSU and his mom was upset about it

There's a video at the beginning of the thread. But yes, you're right, and the piece of trash that is his mother said, "I feel that LSU is the better place for him to be. LSU tigers #1. Go tigers."

I'm on an IPad, and see no link. Is it a YouTube video? If so, I'll just search.

Yes YouTube

What I just learned SEC recruiting 101: LSU pays the parents, (with a check from Texas) Alabama pays the Athletes ("A A") directly with a check from New Orleans.

This is the CLASSIC House Divided.

That video is pretty bad and I feel for the kid. How a mother could act that way on national TV is beyond me. I will definitely be pulling for Collins at Alabama.

Found it. Wow. So much for being supportive of your kids. I bet she'll accept anything he gives her should he become an NFL player though. What a piece of garbage.

And yes, I now have a new favorite (non Cajun) player. Geaux Landon Collins!

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.

That's terrible.

It's an 18 year old kid going to college. I can't believe anyone would do anything but clap and support him. And for the fans in the background to boo, terrible.

His mother said this morning on talk radio that she is not signing the papers.

Holy crap. Is he 17?

[VObserver]

If Landon is 18, she doesn't have to. He can sign for himself.

He is 17 right now, don't know when he turns 18.

His birthday is next Tuesday.

General consensus is that he's chasing tail to Tuscaloosa. I'm sure thats a factor, but its not like he's choosing Ole Miss over a national championship team. He's not exactly settling for a lesser program.
