re: Jefferson is OUR only hope and OUR starting QB

To be sure there are a handful of posters who hold the views you describe. They are only a handful.

I would venture that the majority of LSU fans hold some or all of the following views:

1. They are disappointed that on the eve of an important season, the players would choose to go out drinking in violation of curfew. However, that alone is not a huge deal because boys will be boys.

2. However, the players--particularly the upper classmen--should recognize that with the fame and adulation comes the notoriety and that if things get out of control, they need to get lost quick. Can't have your name attached to an incident and in this day and age of camera phones, Facebook and twitter, you don't want to be caught in compromising positions.

3. Most importantly, we do not want players who would kick someone in the head while they are on the ground after being beaten up.

It's really #3 here. We're disappointed in JJ for #1 (but not too much), we think he showed lack of judgment and leadership for #2 and, if (big "if") he did what is alleged in #3, we believe he should no longer be permitted to have the privilege of being a member of the LSU football team.
