Not sure if I dig all the Fournette hype.

Dude is a straight up beast, don't get me wrong.

But, I always enjoyed LSU being the scrappy team where the sum was greater than all the parts. Hungry and under estimated.

Having a beast on the team with this much attention is just a different kind of thing that I haven't seen before for LSU.

Tyrann Mathieu was one thing, but this is on a whole other level.

Just thinking out loud this morning...

Fournette looks like a man among boys, ala Clowney as a sophomore.

LOL.....If Fournette had a season ending injury, I'm sure being the scrappy team would be nowhere near as enjoyable as what the Tigers are doing right now.

That would suck.

I guess I'm just trying to get used to this....

I understand your concern. Being a one trick pony is great as long as that trick/pony is still tricky and running. But, if you have no plan B....

Press clippings and sports stories can be the equalizer. Lets hope Miles is warning his team against listening to the hype. He is a force to be reckoned with though. Surprise team of the year so far(atleast for me).

Alls that needed to be said.

I'm not an LSU fan, at all. Ive lost more money betting against them the past decade then I care to recall.

But ride that beast to the SEC title game.

He's gonna take you guys there.

Enjoy it, brother .... they don't come around often and are to be treasured players, as long as they keeps they head straight and don't go all 'Leornard Fooball' on ya.

Fournette seems to be pretty grounded & handling it all pretty well ... so far.

He reminds me of Adrian Peterson. Peterson was Heisman runner up as a Freshman and should have won. That matchup with Chubbs will be must see tv.

Agreed. Like AD did for OU, Fournette keeps you on the edge of your seat every time he touches the ball. Similar running styles, similar characteristics. Has the power to run right over guys yet the speed to pull away too. Best young running back I've seen in years.

Every D on the rest of LSU's schedule has a target on Fournette now. Who wouldn't want to be the dude that levels him? It never happened to Tebow...but Tebow he ain't.

I wonder how Eric Berry would hit him?

I hate being the team and the team with the player that everyone is drooling over (Ole Miss, LSU, MSU OSU etc right now) really sets you up for failure.

Can't blame you TB, I'd love to have Fournette but one bad game and all the nonsensical people will have a field day

Wait until the NFL talk starts. I think Fournette and Miles Garrett should be allowed to leave. This is like the Clowney thing all over. That turned out to be a major distraction for Clowney
