Blog post here from And The Valley Shook

LINK

I love this blog and the guys who write for it. I was somewhat shocked to see this posted but it's a pretty interesting topic. I know more than a share of LSU fans who can't stand Mathieu and it's always seemed odd to me.

Personally, I don't care about his twitter or his trash talk or this that and the other because he makes big plays. If he wasn't and talked like that I'd be pretty disappointed.

Sometimes I get frustrated, like that play against Alabama, but damn the guy is a ton of fun to watch and so important to parts of our team. I'd rather the guy be who he is and keep making big play for LSU, than be a nobody.

I realize this has been hammered out here already but I figure a blog post that sums it all together wouldn't be bad.

haters gonna hate. Tm7 is a beast and he can back up any trash talking he does. Unlike Andre debose at Florida who tried to out trash talk but was highly unsuccessful on the field.

Reading about his past and what he has come from, I can't not like the guy. He's self made success. I don't mind the talk either. I don't really agree with the article but I think it's an interesting position.

A big % of LSU's fan base are conservative white people who have about 0% in common with TM7. Most of these people cant even accept Obama as president and hes a much more clean cut and sharper guy than TM7... LSU football creates cultural blurs unseesn in everyday society. The fact that dude is praised buy 92,000 hunting , fishing, republican, purple and gold confederate flag flying people is a modern miracle.

I am sure that Tyrann is truly upset that this no name writer doesn't like him. Perhaps said writer could just not follow him on Twitter. Seems like he is a hater that was looking to fill a blog requirement.

I follow very few football players on twitter, they clutter up my feed.

I just don't get it. I hope Paul Crewe shuts up soon so we won't have to listen to his BS anymore. As a TRUE fan of LSU football, how can you not like Mathieu? He plays the game with everything he's got while adding some extra swagger that most don't have. He may get carried away sometimes, but I love his passion and enthusiasm for the game. If an LSU fan doesn't like him as a person, that's their choice. IMO, he gives this entire LSU team a confidence I don't think I've ever seen before.

Exactly, if you don't like what he's saying on twitter, stop following him!

NO NO NO..............you know who is hard to like?


BLOGGERS
...............frick those guys, dudes always writing shite thinking their opinions mean something. It's worse than fricking twitter because it's planned , proofread, and intentionally derived.

If there is one portion of the population I find hard to like it is these self-perpetuated BLOGGERS.

What he does doesn't bother me, and I'm not an lsu fan. It's blown out of proportion these days with all the social media websites around. Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson both were the exact same way, only they didn't have twitter or ESPN to cover everything they said

This makes a TON of sense.

You can say the same for a lot of major universities and pro sports teams.

In my opinion, you can't help to route for the little guy amongst a game played by giants. I can't stand the trash-talking but it doesn't stop me from pulling for him. IMO, the blogger is a bigger problem. So what if you don't like him. TM7 is a tiger. As long as he isn't killing dogs or other wierd and crazy things I will support him.

Looks like ATVS is needing more content for its site. Stupid opinion piece by a writer we've never heard of nor care about. Congrats dude for that filler article.

What exactly does this have to do with TM7? Are you implying that people who disagree with you are bigots somehow. Unless TM7 is a socialist who disregards the constitution, I see no comparison.

I like TM7.... Obama, not so much.
