Great player, blast to watch, and gives my team a great chance to win.



this. I remember awhile back when someone posted the article about his life growing up and he's doing just fine considering what his childhood was like.

Excellent analysis.

i hate like 75% of the fans we have. If you hate TM7 then F you. Don't follow the Tigers.


Then you're probably also hated by 75% of the fans we have, which says a lot about your own character. If you can't stand the Tiger fans so much, then follow another school and be a part of another fanbase. No one asks you to be a part of us with your hatred.

That being said, I personally have no problem with TM7's tweet either. As long as he can back his arrogance and trash-talking up with great performance and proper behavior on and off the field, then he can be the TM7 he likes for all I care.

We've been respected because we did things the right way and as a team. I don't need to see or hear him talking trash after every single play on national television making LSU look like a Thug U


Talking trash is apart of the sports culture. Larry Bird was one of the greatest trash talkers of all time, so does that make him a thug also.

You accept him? If so you're an idiot. Dude has this country all screwed up and it's not getting any better. The sad thing is the stupid people in this country will re-elect his dumb arse. We'll be a third world country soon enough.

How can you not like Tyrann? He plays with the heart of a gladiator and he ignites the team, the fan, and the state with his play.

I bet all those white racist folk don't have a problem with Eric Reid


So everyone should be dress right dress and nobody should have their own mind or personality. Reid and Matheiu are two different people with two different personalities.

Bread

Maybe you would want more fans to be like you; which would be a shame.


If jeremy shockey played for lsu, and crewe spoke the same way about him, you would care less.


Seems that you are turning this into politics, which you said you hate to be associated with but evey post here, seems to contradict that.....including starting the whole comparison of tm7 to obama.

Getting offended on the rant won't win you any cash settlements here, son.

TM7 is a baller on the field. Nobody said he needs to run for governor or Pres. Be glad he's own our team, and pray for him if he is making wrong choices.

Im so tired of all the pussies talking about his twitter. That is how he plays, with an attitude. I like that he talks as long as he backs it up on field. Its 2012 people talk shite!!!

Can u imagine Prime Time's Twitter? It would cripple the net. I think HB is just a guy that likes to hear himself tweet. I know his upbringing, low key recruiting/lack of D1 attention and naysayers give him the needed chip and edge he plays with. The other part of him needs to accept the fact that he is a special player that has special ability to change the complexion of a game. There are position players, and there are football players. Guys like Clayton, Reed, Hester, PP. HB is a football player. Would be successful at almost any position because of God-given ability and want (SIAP). He only has to prove to himself.

I'll be honest, if he wasn't a Tiger, I'd hate him.

For the most part, this is well stated and accurate IMO.

Mathieu tried so hard to get SOMETHING going in the NC game it took about 7 Alabama players to bring him down on a punt return.

How can you NOT like that?

I like him because he's a Tiger. I can't stand players that run their mouths like TM7.......play the fricking game and shut up.

That article is a joke. I'm guessing that guy would have said the same thing about Muhammed Ali regarding his banter and mouth. He used it to defeat his opponents psychologically. Mathieu does the same thing and I can see how he angers his opponents, but isn't that exactly the point, to defocus the other guy from executing.

Yes it is. I love his swagger and this is American the last time I checked. He can tweet whatever he wants to, & it's none of my business.
