The fact that you were obviously a big dopehead in college doesn't qualify as an excuse for this "kid" or any other one.

Why attack me? This statement is completely false. I was not a "big dopehead" in college, but I did plenty of things that I look back on as completely stupid. You've never done dumb things that could have gotten you into trouble? Please just stop.

Yes, what he did was stupid. It was illegal, and he deserves whatever punishment comes to him. I was simply stating that this could happen to a disturbing number of college athletes at any time.

I don't think that he should be given the death penalty for this incident, like you seem to. Let's at least give him a chance. Maybe he learns from this. I for one hope he gets his head on straight and makes better decisions in the future. Until he makes a lifestyle out of his bad decisions (like Perrilloux) lets cheer for the kid and hope he uses the ability he has to do great things.

True, but they're still just kids. I want to see them make the best decision as well, but this just doesn't always happen. Hopefully he learns from this and has a great career.

How many of you could have gotten caught in college with pot and been arrested for the same thing?

it shouldn't even be illegal, and many studies show the effects are much better than alcohol


Kids? No. Last time I checked, 18-year-olds could vote. The fact that you were obviously a big dopehead in college doesn't qualify as an excuse for this "kid" or any other one.

i can promise you over 1/2 of the LSU team could get caught on these same charges. Not a big deal at all, but people like you will make it one
