Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team The Big XII is just an all around hateful conference (not the only one mind you), but the fact that Oklahoma St is a tiny program that managed to hang around with the big boys incited some reputation by rivals that it was because Miles allowed bad apples etc.

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team I can't comment on the hate because I don't what you're talking about. I think you are right on in that Okie Lite, a "have-not", has been able to beat the big guys once in a while. That never makes you popular with the "haves".

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team Did it ever come out what Nick Child did to get kicked off the team? Did he end up playing anywhere else?
