And the son picks Alabama

[cajunhawk]

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.

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

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.

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

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.

This is really sad.

Especially because its going to follow Landon around for at least the rest of his college career. Every time he plays LSU the clip will air, and he will get questioned about it.

True Statement...With the help of Mark Emmert, he brought out the potential LSU fans always thought was there.

How sad for that young man........one of the happiest days of his life ruined by his low class mother

Yes the toothless, illiterate drunks we have all come to know and summarily despise.

I'm not so sure he still doesn't end up in BR. With your mom adamantly against your descision he may sway. I dont think it's right to attack his mom though for stating her opinion when the guy asked, yes she could have been more subtle. He plays in LSU a&m at BR's backyard. Of course she wants her soon close so she can she him play.

I wonder if Bama offered the GF a scholly just to sway Collins.

If my mom acted in such a way on national television, she would just drive me further from her.

If she felt that way, the proper response was, " I wish he wanted to go to LSU so he'd be closer to home, but it's his decision and I support him either way".

"LSU Tigers #1. Go Tigers"...not so much.
