7. The Tyrann Mathieu situation
Mathieu is back on campus and making sure he’s visible and doing the things normal college students do. In about two weeks, LSU coaches will start talking about how Mathieu will be back if he “does everything right.” About two weeks later, Mathieu will be allowed to practice with the team because he’s “doing everything we’ve asked of him.” And then will come the date at Texas A&M on the road against a dangerous passing team, and the Honey Badger will make his much-ballyhooed debut to get one week under his belt before Alabama comes to town a week later.

Fine, so that’s not going to happen and LSU as a school appears to be standing firm on its policy – remember, this is an LSU imposed sanction and not an NCAA one – but it’s the SEC and LSU is in the thick of a national championship chase. Don’t be shocked by anything.

Unless we are having serious problems with our secondary I don't know that I want that distraction going into Bama. The kid is an amazing talent I give him that and I absolutely hate not having him on the team but if that plays out he will have missed half a season of practice and then be thrown out there a week before the biggest game of the year. The game that will determine whether we play for the national championship or not?

Not even mentioning the media. The distractions for this game are going to be bad enough considering the LSU/Bama history, I don't think we need to throw the "return of the honey badger" into the mix. That just spells trouble imo.






All that said... No way in hell he comes back this season
