    I don't fell confident but LSU has come on strong as of late. This was before they lost the WR coach to ASU. He is a potential wild card right now along with Gay, Chaisson, and Bryant.

    Don't need a study to know that a lot of black families still have animosity towards the flagship school that once upon a time would not allow them entry. That's becoming less and less of an issue as time goes on though obviously.

    I'm sure families with less pigmentation have animosity as well for whatever reason they may have. Loco is speaking specifically about black families though and he's not wrong.

    But that's true of every flagship school in the country. Including Alabama.

    So they are going to the school George Wallace stood in front of to block black students from entering.

    You're missing the point and making a false equivalence. He mentioned LOUISIANA kids that have no loyalty to LSU, many of whom come from families that despised LSU because of past wrongs. That discrimination doesn't exist anymore, but it wasn't replaced by loyalty to LSU, so yes, Bama and the ghost of George Wallace's past are in play. And a lot of them still choose to commit to LSU even with the purple and gold confederate flags...

    It's a good thing for the Tide that there are no confederate flags in Alabama. :rolleyes:
