...and acknowledge they are only human and made a bad decision. They even go as far to say they forgive them and can't wait to see them back. It's a shame some of you idiots can't do the same.
You made mistakes when you were these kids age it just wasn't amplified cause you aren't on a national stage like they are. Some of you are pretty hypocritical sitting in your glass house criticizing them.
Let them learn from the mistake and move on but all of your energy should be focused on supporting those who are playing this Saturday instead of spending all day harping on what may or may not have happened.
I like the fact that Randle and Shep are stepping up as leaders and showing support for the 3 in question.

I can see the difference between my childhood and theirs.
Can you?

So what's your point? It was a bad choice no matter how big or small of a spotlight you are in. Some of you want to crucify them. I understand being disappointed about it but just put into perspective that they are kids and making mistakes are part of growing up.

Forgive and move on. That is the only path for this situation.

I do understand your point and it is well received; however, do you think at some point in the chase for the highest position possible for the quest of a National title, it might require more dedication and focus? When do we say enough?
I will pull for our Tigers always, but you can not help but be concerned. I understand mistakes. We all make them. At some point you need to commit to the task at hand. Seriously.

The fan base didn't make a mistake. The players did. Sheesh, this is like watching a child play the blame game after doing something stupid. The fans don't owe the players anything. Those future millionaires need to man the hell up and stop being little girls

I won't speculate on their thought process for doing it but we all know sometimes we make quick shortsighted decisions without thinking of the consequences.
I hate that it happened in such a great season but one thing about it, and Shep Tweeted this last night, is this team knows how to overcome controversy and obstacles. I have no doubt this will bring them closer for the Bama game if reinstated by then.
My whole point is that if the whole team all the way From T-Bob, BWing, RR2, etc are all showing support for them right now then shouldn't the fans be doing the same instead of tearing them down?

What exactly is the fan base looking for from these kids? I would bet you won't get a public statement to the media as it appears Miles has shut down that option.
And to your point about the fans not owing the players anything, what do the players OWE you? Is the #1 ranking and undefeated season (so far) not enough?

Sad that they didn't learn from the multitude of other College Football suspensions that have happened this year including those on their own team.

Maybe showing signs of responsibility in their tweets instead of crying about fans. The "us against the world" mentality is stale. They effed up. Man up to it and stop acting like the fans have played any role in your screw up.
If they want to tweet or participate in social media, they need to realize that people are reading and show signs of maturity and responsibility.
