if Jacobs got busted for weed, I'm not sure what else you want the coaches to do. I mean they kicked the best player on the team off, doesn't that send a strong enough message?

the academic suspensions are still somewhat mind-boggling. I've seen it happen to 1 guy like RJF, but damn 4?

Yeah, with pot I don't know what the answer is. I guess the question was partially rhetorical, partially pleading. You'd think by this point it would be obvious we're not cutting slack in that department.

Its on the players. We have one of the best academic centers in the country for our athletes. They have unlimited resources. There is no reason for them to be failing classes

How many of these fricks have to get kicked off the team before they realize that miles doesn't frick around?


That's exactly what I was just thinking. Where do they get the stupid idea, "Oh, I know that people get suspended/kicked off the team all the time for this, but maybe THIS time, they won't find out." How stupid.

I think that even if it was legal, team would still make it against team rules. At least for a few years.

This has been a seriously crappy year for keeping kids on the field. I know I'll get called a negatiger for this, but can't Les and the coaches do more to keep them on the right track?





It is a privilege to play at LSU not a right.Kick their dumb a$$ off the team.

The support system-like any system-is only as strong as its weakest link. You may want to admit you don't know WTF you're talking about. Because its obvious you have an opinion reached with no knowledge of the situation.

No not a "negatiger" ....a good perhaps. WTF do U want the coaches to sleep with these guys? 19-20-21 year olds I get it, but at some point these young men need to realize right from wrong and make the right decisions. Don't care how many get suspended or kicked off the team...never sacrifice standards for a W

Maybe they need to go back to the Athletic Dorms with GA's living there, curfews, room checks, etc???
As long as they don't wind up being five star resorts like OU had in the 70's.

Does anyone know any reason or is all of this just the usual BS? Never know around here.

I'm not talking about Nic Jacobs here. Just referring to the other 4 players that were suspended.

And you may know something that I don't, but all I'm saying is that when they have advisers, free tutors, class checkers, and mandatory study hours, they shouldn't be failing classes
