And we hung his name/number in the stadium for Christ's sake!I am sure some of you cheered when they hung his name. I know i did.

Point being, those acting as if LSU's image is tarnished forever might be overreacting just a little bit. Pump the breaks a little. Yes it sucks now, opposition will get its lulz, but I doubt it will be THAT big of a deal.

THUGI'll boo him every time I see him in Tiger Stadium! Hell I'll boo him if I see him in the streets. I'm a lizard LSU fan and I demand all players and alumni carry themselves to a standard akin to Jesus!

Unfortunately, I do. I'm only 44 - the older generation probably remembers him with a little more fondness.

If Mathieu (particularly, as he has the most robust fan following and is my favorite player on the current team) stays out of trouble, continues to play well, regardless of whether or not (or how many) we win the next 6 or 7 football games - and goes on to do the things he is supposed to - I'll have signficant trouble remembering:

Rant Meltdown 2011 - Part II: Smoke on the Bayou

Just as the memory of the original: Rant Meltdown 2011 - The Beatdown at Shady's - is already starting to fade with the 7-0 start.

I think of the student section waving $20 bills at him when he was introduced before the Ole Miss game in 1988. He had been released from jail in 1986, but we all thought it was "too soon" to introduce him at a game...

Yes, I do and he was also a family friend who got very drunk at my wedding rehersal dinner. All my friends now call him J. B. (jail bird) for short. Nobody's name should go on anything until after they are dead.

Way, way wrong example


Read Billy Cannon's life story before you post ignorance ion a message board. Cannon's life is not one these kids want to emulate, and Billy would be the first to tell them that.
