    Human nature being what it is, we're all inclined toward a certain amount of selfishness. Within that, some have more self control than others. Maturity has quite a bit to do with all of this. They're young, many coming from economically tough areas, many single parent families, on and on it goes.

    To say these sports agents don't prey on these selfish qualities and life circumstances is naive. If the player is accountable, than why not the sports agent that certainly knows he's corrupting the player and violating ncaa rules. Lets reward them as well for their lack of character. I'm confident I can reasonably work up enough disdain for both sides to share the wealth.

    It isn't a big deal to put a prospect on a private plane and fly him to a basketball game weeks before NSD?

    no. they were best friends and went to the basketball game. the only reason it got attention was because their mode of transportation traveled in the air and not up 43. and if he wasnt black the message board warriors would not have cared. no auburn fans that knew them thought anything of it...and still dont.

    So the bigger question is this Dareus guy who is now suspended or whatever, what kind of a baller is he? Was he going to get significant playing time?

    An agent supposedly paid for him to get and be there or at least offered for him to be there, I think that might answer the question.

    Yes, and I can't picture us showing up in the equipment truck (which, btw, LSU has one of the finest looking rigs) saying "It only holds 2 people". That would be pushing the spirit of the rule...

    Dareus is the real deal. He will do nothing but get better. Dominating is what he can be.

    Is that a legal hit he used to take out McCoy? Looks like he is leading with his hat? I don't recall a flag...:huh:
