re: Beckham and Landry speak out

Mathieu has been tweeting about. So has Simon. Ware hasn't yet.
The other players tweeting: I'm sure there is some backlash. There has to be. Don't throw it back in the fan's face. The players did wrong. Are the fans supposed to say " hey great maybe you'll learn the 3rd time!!"
Hell no. Like I said our fans will always support our players on the field. But you can't support actions like this.
Perfect example is cecil Collins. Many LSU fans would call him the best RB at lsu they have ever seen. It doesn't change the fact that he is a freak and has a sick sick problem off the field.
Truthfully none of them should have any say about it, as I said in the other thread. They shouldn't be allowed to tweet at all at this point. It is clear the team has zero leadership. The closest is Shepard. Reading his comments tells me he is really the only one that gets it.

no, you don't have to support it, but is it really necessary for people they have never even met and never will to go out of their way to point out what they did? something they're very aware of. if les miles, their parents, their team mates, or the university want to ream their arse for it, then they absolutely have the right to and should if they feel the need to. but there is a difference between not supporting what they did and making hateful remarks on a facebook/twitter to a kid you don't know that happens to play for the football team you like. some people need to grow up. it's actaully pathetic. no one supports their actions or thinks they shouldn't be punished, but let them and the team deal with.
can you imagine if every time you slipped up in college and had thousands of people telling you what a piece of garbage you were? is that justifiable behavior? i'm sure all of y'alls parents told you at one point two wrongs don't make a right. well, being an a-hole to a 19 year old college kid you don't know is pretty wrong and isn't going to make the situation any better for anyone. and many of the same people doing this were probably the same ones jerking him off last week because he entertained you on the football field and made your saturday more enjoyable.

Other than puffing your chest out to say "our team is better than every other team in the country," what else do we get out of it?
Believe me, I love being able to say that.

All that nonsense you just typed is exactly why they shouldn't be on twitter. It's a 2 way street. If you aren't allowed to interact at all, none one will get butthurt. It's clear most of these 18-21 yr olds do not know how to handle themselves.
Btw I have been following their twitter all day and it is 80% positive and about 15-20% negative.

The success or failure of the whole LSU football program rest on the shoulders of athletes and their ability to wholly dedicate themselves to the TEAM; if they blow it, it all comes tumbling down.
I could understand screwin around in the off season...or a mediocre season. But when this team is on the verge of one of the biggest college games of the decade, and all of the sacrifice of players and fans is on the line...what on God's green earth would not inspire a player to step up and deliver. On the field or off.
Miles needs to deliver a MAN UP speech to those who apparently aren't up to par, in the man up category. They will hate themselves for the rest of their life, if they blow this chance for all concerned.
That said...we all face our limits. We love you guys...love the team...love the fans.

Those two freshman, esp. Landry just need to shut up and stay out of trouble. We were LSU fans before they got here and will be LSU fans LONG after they've gone. It's not about them, it's about LSU. We support them all, just hate their actions sometimes.

well that's an issue all to itself. you're not going to find many 18-22 year old college students, or hell many people period, not on some form of social networking site. can't really blame them for being on social media just because they're athletes, whether you personally think they should be or not. there are tens of millions of people using those sites. and are you saying it's not pathetic to take time out of your day to tweet at someone you don't know to make a snide remark. come on, you know that's pretty immature and ridiculous.

Everyone supports the players.
It doesnt mean we should also support their stupid decisions off the field.
It would be refreshing for once for a player to accept what they have done and not throw it in the fans face that they "dont support them". What a goddman cop out.
Sorry, I am not going to feel sorry for you. You go to LSU for free. You get help in school because you play football. You get to play in front of 95k people that love you. If you do something wrong, don't twist it and throw it in my face like I dont support LSU football.
Did most people make mistakes as a kid? Sure. But i am the man i am today because I owned up to them. Did my parents yell at me and disagree with the things I did? Sure. Did that mean they didnt love me still? No.

Where the frick are you getting this? Can't you understand the difference in being disappointed in their actions and calling them garbage?
I truly believe that if the response from the players had been something along the lines of "I'm sorry for letting down my family, team, coach,..." rather than making excuses and trying to project the blame elsewhere, the vast majority of fans would not have reacted in the way that you ridiculously refer to as calling them garbage.
We'll all be screaming for the Tigers on Saturday and will hope the lesson is learned by those players that will be watching this week.

Hell, just logically think about it, you think Landry and Beckham are just making those statements with zero basis or reason to do so? Of course not, something happened to get them thinking like that, no?
You don't possibly think that 18-19 year old men/kids can possibly have a screwed up perspective of what is happening and the reaction to it?
Nah, can't happen. I am sure there are some idiots saying stupid stuff, but most of the disagreement with what happened is warranted. Three players screwed up, and the team has to pay for it. Maybe some of their energy should be spent on preventing their own team mates from making decisions that adversely affect them.

Of course it's immature; but as I said in another thread, anyone can tweet atca public profile. A 14 year old kid from Wyoming could be bored at recess calling TM7 a dumbass and laughing with all his friends. Doesn't mean it is all LSU fans

I support the TEAM as a whole and not individuals on the team. Yea I was young and made mistakes but they weren't televised to the intire nation. To get a college education and all I have to do is play football in front of a national audience each week and possibly make millions after I leave the school. I would make sure for that short period of time I didn't do anything to bring embarrassment to me or the University that is providing me with that Opportunity.
As a long time TAF member i feel I have the right to bitch and complain about anyone I feel is disrespectful to the Team, University and people like me who contribute there money to the University.

Most of us in the mid to later part of life know that Wisdom comes from making Good Decisions - Good Decisions comes from Experience - and Experience can be a result of Bad Decisions. This is the good news for all youth that have made some not so good decisions (including any of the players on our football team). Good for those players speaking out in support of their brothers - they should. They should also hold each other accountable and I trust that Coach Miles will do what is appropriate.
Let's leave this thread and move on to a discussion about X/O's for the AU game!

WTF? When you do something stupid it's natural to be judged as stupid. I'm sick of people who screw up whining about being "judged." That's life buddy. You and I make judgements about people every single day.
Don't want to be judged as a self-centered numbskull, don't act like a self-centered numbskull. Fairly simple, really.

don't care what they did, that is not something that should come with the territory of dealing with the consequences of your mistakes, and a mistake that is fairly common among 19-20 year olds. these players are still just kids and are going to screw up, but they don't need the entire world letting them know that by way of inflammatory, immature remarks from people that don't even know them. what kind of loser feels the need to do that anyways?
If they were just common 18-20 year olds, then they wouldn't have football scholarships at LSU. Common 18-20 year olds don't get to play in front of 93,000 on Saturdays plus a nationwide audience of millions more. Common 18-20 year olds aren't getting full tuition, room and board, free trips to all over the country, treated like royalty.
There are "common 18-20" year olds in this country that aren't acting so common. They're spending months at a time in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of them are coming back with injuries and missing limbs. Some of them aren't coming back. Some of them are older and went to LSU.
Spare me the "common among" bullshite.

Typical Rant.
I never even have my thoughts in what they actually got I'm trouble for, and yet you're responding like I did.
I never made any mention of the offense, if you didn't notice.
