What the frick are you talking about? Have you ever taken a trip outside the bubble that is SE Louisiana??

Every single time I travel, and say that I went to LSU, if they are a sports fan, they say the 2011 team with Tyrann was the most exciting thing they have seen in sports in a long time. They never have harped on the negative side.

It's funny how you side with Jamarcus, when he was drafted, and literally fricked the Raiders out of millions, yet Tyrann was "selfish as @#$%" and you burn him at the stake for it. You don't think Jamarcus was a bit selfish when he was lazy?

I think you are applying a double standard when you are talking about Jamarcus and TM7s leadership. When TM7 was at LSU, he was a damn good leader. He led one of the best defensive cores that we've ever had at LSU... to say otherwise is just ignorant. I hate using the cliche term, but that D had so much swag because of the way that he led things.

I hate that people on this fricking board persecute and judge someone that made mistakes in his young adult life. None of you know what pressures he was under. No one knows what he was facing, his mental state. No need to kick someone that has already fallen. Support him like his teammates have, like the coaches have, like the athletic department has.

I'm assuming that you say Patrick Peterson is one of our best ambassadors for LSU right? Well, why can't we follow his lead. He has picked TM7 up out of his darkest times. If you can't forgive him for his past actions, than you are weaker than most of our team and coaching staff and whoever else.

Keep your head up TM7, once a Tiger, always a Tiger, no matter what.
