I am really sad that I won't get to watch one of the most exciting players in LSU history, and really sad that TM7 made a decision(s) that cost him a chance at the NFL this season and affected our national title chase.

but i'm proud that Les Miles has the stones to kick him off the team, if he was really breaking team rules.

after seeing what's happened with coaches all over the country recently, including Penn St. It makes me think the LSU program is in good hands.

LSU's defense was fine without Mathieu last year, and no doubt, there is an athletic cornerback ready to play the wildcard role in the defense.

As for TM7 I hope he turns it around. He was one of my favorite players to watch all time, and is one of the most instinctive footballers i've ever seen.

Sad day.

We knew this after the Perrilloux incident in 08

I guess but nobody wins in the end. Program still takes a blow. Coach takes a blow. Player takes a blow.

Les Miles is a great man, no doubt. Best coach in LSU history. Major props to Les.

I'm gonna stop short of praising Miles on this one right now. This was a school and team rule he broke, so if he was kicked out of school, it really had nothing to do with Miles.

I'm quite sure Les didn't have much of a choice.

Major props to Miles he put the team first before an individual. As far as Mathiew is concerned what a freakin dummy.

The young man has apparently made many mistakes, and he did not learn from them. Miles has obviously worked with him, and I have to respect Miles for this decision. I wish that I had the God given talent that Mathieu has; I would not have wasted it.

If the violation was multiple failed drug tests he violated University policy, if that's true Les had very little wiggle room.

Minimum as per LSU policy is one year suspension from athletic competition

It's a good and fair policy but Les' hands were tied if it was drug tests
