LSU Enthusiast James Carville Has an Interesting Theory about Alabama and the SEC
Political commentator and strategist James Carville was invited to the set of ESPN College Gameday on Saturday in Baton Rouge.
This may have been ill-advised.
The LSU alumnus is quite fond of his Tigers, as well as saying literally anything that pops into the old noggin.
Here are his unfiltered thoughts on the Devin White suspension.

That wasn't exactly subtle, although ESPN did hand Carville a live microphone and ask him about the Devin White suspension in Baton Rouge.
The resulting soundbite was inevitable.
The Worldwide Leader was compelled to apologize on the air.

For the uninitiated, here's the play involving LSU stud linebacker White that earned him a suspension for the first half of the Alabama game.
That was an eggregiously bad call, but does if prove collusion between Alabama and the SEC?
Carville seems to think so, and he said as much in this op-ed for a Baton Rouge newspaper.
Just to be clear, though, the Crimson Tide doesn't appear to need much help at the moment, as the much-anticipated showdown with LSU became a 29-0 bloodletting.
That's just not fair.
In the meantime, Carville will continue his other active investigations, including one that places Nick Saban on the grassy knoll and on the set of the fake moon landing simultaneously.
Well, consider that case closed.
