My daughter likes calling herself the honey badger when she wants something and always says, "I'm the honey badger like LSU and get what I want!". It's pretty funny. Every time she sees a LSU highlight on TV she asks if that is the honey badger. I guess I'll rename Eric Reid the HB this season so she can have something to look forward to.

My kids are in their early 20s and think the marijuana rule is ridiculous. they think everyone does it. Although, they do realize that the rules exist are are very dissapointed in TM but wish him the best...Yes, this is really their words.

I'm 28 and have the same reaction

Won't say that to my 5 year old, but that's my feeling more or less.

I told my 7-month old son. He just smiled and went dookie in his diaper, so I guess he is okay with it.


Mine only spit up. Guess he doesn't love the game as much as yours.

My sister stated "Why do my favorite players keep getting kicked off the team?!"

She was a Jefferson fan last year.

Why do you say this like your kids are saying a shocking thing? The marijuana rule IS ridiculous. Nearly everyone DOES do it. And Tyrann made terrible decisions.

It is amazing to me that some people just don't understand how many college kids smoke weed.

75% of the Oregon Ducks football team would be kicked off if they were treated like TM7.

Rules were set forth so it's his own fault, but the rules are dumb as shite.

And I say this as someone that has taken one hit of weed in my entire life.

Just read one of my son's Facebook Status. He's a HS Football player and said that he used to admire TM7 for overcoming a rough childhood and proving haters wrong, but to waste the kind of talent that he (my son) prays for every night just tears him up.

My daughter, a Sr at LSU, texted me today that maybe now this frees up some financial aid she needs for her last semester, lol

My son (15) plays cornerback and had his picture taken in TM7's locker a couple of weeks ago and he was upset about it.

It was a good time for the high school head coach to point out that following the rules is for everyone no matter how good you think you are. Good teaching moment.

I know there's tons of speculation that Miles had absolutely no say in Mathieu's dismissal, but if he did, I think/hope this is a point where, amid the way JoePa handled his situation, many fans can respect and accept Miles as a great coach.

I don't have any kids but I told my 5 year old cousin who's a big LSU fan and he asked if TM cared.
