Sorry...fighting in a bar parking lot was not a part of my "normal college experience"

So you are telling me that 5000 LSU students have done/experience something like what Hill did in that video? That number is just a tad high I think...

frick yes they should be. Jeremy Hill is getting for free something I had to work my arse off for: a college education and a place to live. If he is put on this campus to represent LSU, then he damned well better act right and not embarrass the school.

This "boys will be boys" and "normal college experience" horseshite has really gotten old. There is NO excusing what he did.

Well that is grossly inaccurate. Sure, he has the god given talent that put him in the position to earn his athletic scholarship.

However, he has to work his arse off to maintain that scholarship by attending workouts, practices, film studies, and probably some team mandated volunteer work. All while maintaing a passing GPA.

Sure, he may not have been held to as high of academic standards as you to receive a college education, but to imply he didn't have to do any hard work is a joke.

I love this "he is gettin paid" routine. LSU Football gives excess funds to the Academic part of the University. LSU is one of only two universities in the country that do this and take NO state money from the university. JH33 is just one of the pack mules that makes this happen. So are you paying them enough. There are people out there who think not and have filed suit to have the TV revenues split to the players. Additionally, he is prohibited or restricted from employment while he is on that scholarship so spare the "he gettin paid bullshite"
