re: According to Twitter the team understands these 3 made a mistake...

See, here's how it works. The University, the football team and the fans are all one unit. What fans do has the potential to reflect poorly on the football team and university. Taken to the extreme, see what kind of press LSU would get if a gang of roving fans jumped on the Auburn fans and beat the crap out of them during the game. What the football players do can either bring honor to the university or reflect poorly on the university and the team's actions should affect any caring fan. It works both ways. I pay my money and time on LSU football every fall. I get to enjoy the highest of highs and experience the lowest of lows. For me, LSU football is a high priority in my life. I am the only one who can decide what my priorities should be. There are surely other LSU fans who are not affected one bit by an LSU loss, much less by illegal behavior by an LSU player. I am not that guy. No, none of these players came up and spit in my face. Yes, I am personally affected by the LSU football team.

Yes but they still have to be held accountable for their actions.

And they are.

Reading the posts in here, it is obviously present in our fanbase.

Some of you want to crucify them

I'm reading stuff like this alot. Where is an example of some wanted to "crucify"?
Geez, being disappointed in players behavior is a normal human emotion. Just like it would be with your children. Their still your children---you are just expressing your disappoint in them.

If there are a couple of people who want to crucify the players, ignore them. And let up on the people expressing their disappointment.

unlike these three i was not a memeber of the LSU football team when i was younger. THEY ARE! They represent LSU on and off the field. They are in the middle of one the best seasons LSU has ever had. And theyve already dealt with off field issues before the season. You would think they would have enough sense to know not to put their teams chances in jeopeardy. AT some point theses players have to grow up!!And Miles has to at some point say enough is enough. Making excuses for them doesnt help. They arent kids anymore. Its time for them to start acting like it!

Keep in mind these years will be remembered for a long time. They may not be high school kids, but they are not far removed from it. They are still maturing, but some of you act like they're supposed to punch the clock like some Fortune 500 employee. This is not an excuse for violating team rules. They are supposed to work hard, get the grades, but also enjoy the experience. Some of the best times in college were hanging out with my friends. If you're having fun in college, you're probably finding some mischief.

What are the times you remember from college? You and the guys studying at the library? Really?

It was a mistake. They know it, and will learn from it.

What am I talking about? That you dont know shite, so STFU.

Here is what is KNOWN/CONFIRMED (everything else, including your mouth garbage, is unconfirmed bullshite slander):

BATON ROUGE — The widespread national news Wednesday that key LSU football players Tyrann Mathieu, Spencer Ware and Tharold Simon were suspended for Saturday's Auburn game went unconfirmed by LSU coach Les Miles Wednesday night, but he did say he was looking into a disciplinary issue on his No. 1-ranked team.

"I certainly understand the interest surrounding what seems to be news," Miles began at his regularly scheduled Wednesday night news conference. "The problem with that news is it's internal discipline and internal function of a team. I'm not inclined to be forthcoming in information. I am not reactionary to needs of media and things external to this building. When there's information that I can share, I will."

Asked to confirm if Mathieu, Ware and Simon were suspended, Miles said, "No, cannot confirm that."

GET YOUR SHITE STRAIGHT

Am I disapointed ? yes

Did I smoke pot as a young man in college and beyond ? yes

Am I an old fart ? yes

They will learn from this mistake and move on.
This is not the end of the world or the season.
