We don't "throw a Hissy Fit" we're what you call "Fisticated" "WE HAVE A CONNIPTION FIT"!!!

Ive never really cared about the whole "LSU players to Saints" controversy... Mostly because no one is upset that only 54% of this LSU roster are native Louisianians.

I suspect, and this only my attempt to apply logic to not drafting instate players if that is indeed a practice... Having a 250-300 mile DMZ for drafts helps to ensure that when draftees show up, they can focus and dont have hometown baggage on their mind...

This is true. The further away from their "homies" or "posses" the better for some of these players.

never saw the connection / issue and chalk it up to coincidence

for every case made for the LSU guy we missed you can look at 3 we skipped and got a better player. And you can say the same thing about every player ever taken.
How many LSU guys were taken before Brady lasted until he 6th round, or Colston in the 7th, or Nicks in the 5th?

I will say there some pretty funny posts on that Twitter feed.
