...and acknowledge they are only human and made a bad decision. They even go as far to say they forgive them and can't wait to see them back. It's a shame some of you idiots can't do the same.

You made mistakes when you were these kids age it just wasn't amplified cause you aren't on a national stage like they are. Some of you are pretty hypocritical sitting in your glass house criticizing them.

Let them learn from the mistake and move on but all of your energy should be focused on supporting those who are playing this Saturday instead of spending all day harping on what may or may not have happened.

I like the fact that Randle and Shep are stepping up as leaders and showing support for the 3 in question.

I can see the difference between my childhood and theirs.

Can you?

Forgive and move on. That is the only path for this situation.

I do understand your point and it is well received; however, do you think at some point in the chase for the highest position possible for the quest of a National title, it might require more dedication and focus? When do we say enough?
I will pull for our Tigers always, but you can not help but be concerned. I understand mistakes. We all make them. At some point you need to commit to the task at hand. Seriously.

The fan base didn't make a mistake. The players did. Sheesh, this is like watching a child play the blame game after doing something stupid. The fans don't owe the players anything. Those future millionaires need to man the hell up and stop being little girls

Sad that they didn't learn from the multitude of other College Football suspensions that have happened this year including those on their own team.

Support should follow from their fellow players. I say if you can't handle the pressure(of being #1 and all eyes are on you), get off the stage. It takes more than on player to make a team. This team is stacked.....NEXT player step right up.

LSU has 85 scholarship players and only 3 are involved in this incident.We need to back and support those who have followed the rules and let the 3 involved suffer the consequences of their poor choices.Apparently these 3 didn't learn anything from the earlier incident involving LSU football players.Choices have consequences be they good or bad.

Good to hear that the team is forgiving these 3 men (they are not boys as many of you want to label them) for consciously choosing to break rules that they signed on the dotted line to live by when they were selected to have the HUGE privilege of playing LSU football.
Glad to know that the team doesn't feel that these 3 men have let them down tremendously and perhaps hurt the Tigers chances at winning another National Championship.
Happy to know that the reputation of this fine institution is of no concern to the players and is not taken into account in light of this, and other, "mistakes"
Glad to see that there is little accountability by the leaders on this team for their peer's selfish behavior, and anything goes with these guys.

No wonder this shite keeps happening.

Here's the world you live in

2:00 News breaks of the possible suspension
2:00:30 "hum, that is a bad thing"
2:01 "Oh well, boys will be boys. I remember when I was in college".
2:02 "Ware, Mathieu, Simon (sob) I love you man."

My point: getting past this does take a little time for most people. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.

Also, it is possible to begin the process of forgiving somebody, still being pissed at them and wanting them back on the football field. I would question anyone, football player or not, who has completely moved past this.

You my friend are the hyprocritical one unless you have fully forgiven every single person who has ever wronged you in any way. On the other hand, maybe you are that kind of guy. If you are, I commend you.

The argument doesn't hold water because I didn't get a free education from LSU, I'm not getting national publicity and awards weekly, and I never had a chance for a multi million $ contract to the NFL. The bar is set higher for these guys, it is what it is and they have to accept that responsibility.

That said, I am not hating on any young man who makes mistakes, I certainly made my share, but it should not go unpunished.

Thanks, stout. Sometimes you can be a dick on here, most times not. This is one of those "not" times. I appreciate all you said.

Even go so far? Wow. Can't wait to log on here next week to see what the next fine young man who gets suspended does.

But I'll keep in mind "they are only human".
