The truth couldn't help you. You could never understand.

Honey Badger is a great kid. You could never repay him for the joy he provided Jwodie and Cajunjj on Saturdays and throughout the fall. He got a "scholarship" for books and tuition. Wow! Big whoop. He then enjoyed life like a regular student and you somehow feel he cheated you from watching him perform. Pathetic

You didn't address what I said whatsoever. Instead you just went on with more baseless drivel. I'm a big Badger fan, and hope he does great in the NFL. You can say he's a great guy all you want but ultimately he was incredibly selfish in making the decisions he made in ignoring the rules and constantly failing drug tests despite repeated chances. Aside from any stain on the University or the program, he was ultimately selfish in letting his teammates down by not being on the field last year with them. Hell, he's admitted himself how stupid and selfish it was to do what he did - read the ESPN article.

He had MULTIPLE opportunities, thus your "treated unfairly" argument holds no water. He, like many others, (hopefully) has learned the hard way. He was not just a regular student, and you can't be dumb enough to not understand this.

Rules are in place for a reason. These are polarizing athletes that represent the university in the media on a national level. It took NUMEROUS failed drug tests for LSU to finally say enough is enough. It took him getting kicked off the team to learn his lesson and he STILL was doing drugs. When you play in a sport that tests for drugs, and you make the decision to do drugs, that's your own idiotic fault. He risked millions of dollars for it. Hopefully he's grown up because he's one of my favorite LSU players all time to watch on the field.

Hey tigafan89......my child's 1st year at LSU, I was all in at close to $36k. Having a scholarship would be an honor. Some kids these days just don't get it.
