    Exactly. Maybe he just realized that competing for national championships was too much pressure for him and that he was better suited on a team that competes for 3rd place in it's conference. Good luck and goodbye more room for someone that wants to be a Tiger.

    Perhaps that is all it is. Don't suppose it matters other than the rumor mongering going on the internet. Ultimately it would appear he does not want to be at LSU and in that case, it is better for LSU and him that he is gone now.

    Welcome! I'm glad KW is a Tiger. It will be fun watching him add to his 1,331 career rushing yards (5.81 YPC), his 489 career kick return yards, and his 261 career receiving yards for LSU next season.

    Pratt was apparently expecting us to commit some NCAA violations in order to make him feel comfortable when things didn't work out as planned.

    While his actions were a bit flakey, I still wish him the best at Oklahoma St.

    It seems as if T. Boone Pickens was able to accomodate Mr. Pratt'$ reque$t$ for the $aid NCAA violation$.

    edit: I have no basis for saying this....it's more of a joke than anything...this post is not intended to spread a rumor.

    hmmm...exactly the kind of problems I was thinking could happen to a family man under pressure of being responsible for a wife and children.

    I see where in the Advocate his coach said "I got involved" and that he knows when the coaches at OK St. tell him something, it's true.

    Wonder what that's all about?

    Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Pratt explicitly said or requested us to violate NCAA rules, but he was upset that we weren't able to better accomodate him - the only way we could've done anything more would have been to break NCAA rules.
