My punishment would be making them both sit down in front of the computer and read all the bullshite threads here on tigerdroppings starting with the rant and ending with the political board. That'll teach em!
What a great moment of levity in an intense rant!

Well- if i was getting my entire education paid for to do a job (which is the case here)---and i were lectured EVERY DAY (as defensive players are) that the second infraction always draws the penalty (It happens to them all the time)- AND you know the game is WON with the stop-- then no I would not react like that.
I also think TJ was over-reacting....Did you actually watch the play. I saw no fingers going into his eyes like you and he protray. I did see some exchange of words but no "eyeball extraction"/ poking. Please send a link to the video you are referring to

Ahhh yes- but you had me going so much that I couldn't help it.Now I shall go punish myself by poking my eyes out and cutting off my fingers....
Nah- I'll just give myself a big hug.
PS- you are fun (albeit annoyingly insane) to debate. But until your love fest with Miles is brought under control, it will be too damaging to my health.

In a game that was won by 1 point on a TD pass with 21 seconds left, that swing is more than enough to say that it could easily have made a difference in the outcome. The fact that we could have won anyway or could have still lost without it does not mean that his "mistake" was did not make enough of a difference to change the outcome of the game.
that didn't cost the game. Neither did Johnson's PF.

Seriouly, we are presumably older and wiser, and have hopefully learned a bit over the years about self-restraint and the consequences lack thereof can have not just for ourselves, but others as a direct result of our actions as well.
Young student athletes are often still learning these lessons in the hard knocks of sports. You can preach and teach at young people all day long - you know this - and they mean well ... and then somebody pokes 'em in the eye and they react in a boneheaded manner in heartbeat.
That's the bane of youthfulness - you know, like the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Johnson learned a hard lesson I doubt he'll ever forget, especially because it is a lesson that most likely cost him and his teammates a win in the last game of the regular season.
Mine came to us a little later in life than most people get them, and they've come in all shapes and sizes with distinctly unique personalities. Why on earth they do some of the things they do and have throughout the years is something I have to reach far back to my own childhood and teen/early twenties to have an iota of understanding for.
Kids will be kids and young student athletes will be young student athletes at the most inopportune times, won't they?
It's life and it's painful sometimes. But isn't that what parents always say about sports? It teaches our children life lessons, how to win and lose? That sort of thing? He's not my kid, but Johnson learned a very hard lesson Friday ... he's had to face his teammates in the locker room, on the trip back to BR and he'll be facing his classmates and the public as he moves about campus in the coming weeks.
If nothing else comes of it, let us hope those two young men learned lessons they and their team will profit from in the future.

I find your incessant use of the paragraph disturbing.

In a while, I've been a member here since 04, you certainly have made valid points in your lifetime but you aren't football savvy if you feel personal fouls should lead to suspensions.
Secondly, although each penalty was dumb in terms of intent, neither warrant long term losses in playtime. LSU had their chances to get off the field regardless of penalties. The rant is obsessed with blaming referees for our losses.
We lost as an uncohesive unit. It's been our flaw since the Florida game.

On the lighter side...might I suggest anyone who pokes himself in the eye probably would be better served removing all his fingers?

It beats heck out of trying to read one of those run-on paragraphs in 4 point type.

Indeed. Intense discussions at times, but LSU fans are LSU fans, even if I might not want all of them for next door neighbors all the time.

Given my profession, we should probably explore that, but as my [alleged] disturbing use of the paragraph doesn't disturb me, it's just not that interesting. ;-)

O, get a grip, ;-) if you need your bipolar meds refilled, you'll have to see my spouse for that. I'm just a lowly DSW/PhD, he's the one with the real clout.

Yea, guys that commit stupid personal foul penalties get suspended all the time.
What a bunch of crybaby fans. If either committed two personal fouls a piece, then you MIGHT have a case. But to call for a players suspension over one personal foul call because you, a fan, are upset that your team lost? Sad.
