They violated team rules. They didn't accidentally consume substances, they knowingly did it. The knighting going on for these players is fricking pathetic.

Agreed.

The entitlement of these kids is sickening.

Rueben,

Here's the problem pal.

The only reason you or any other player is getting praise or shite from the fanbase is b/c you represent the school that we all love and support.... way before you were alive.
Way before you were playing pewee, jr high or high school football
Way before you were even considered a recruit.
We will all still be here when you and the rest of your teamates are not.
What you and the rest of the 100 plus letterman, redshirts, greyshirts, walkons, scout team and future potential recruits all need to realize is, this Univerisity and its football program are much bigger than yourself or any other player.
It's a privlidge that you were blessed enough to be able to not only be offered a scholarship to LSU, but to be a standout player on the team.
If EVERY player had this attitude we wouldnt be having this conversation right now, nor would this team be dealing with these "distractions".
Be a leader. Set the example.

Thanks,

I support the team and I support these guys cleaning up and getting back to beat the Gumps!

It's a joke that pot is illegal... but it is and I am disappointed that they engaged in activity that could hurt the team.

But let's not get holy than thou on the pot issue... and there's been a lot of that.

How does being treated like murderers for doing something almost everyone their age does qualify as entitlement exactly?

Murderers go to jail.

Kids who smoke weed and blow opportunities get ridiculed. If they don't like it, turn down the scholarship and the celebrity status and smoke all the weed they want!

Answer the question, how is that ridicule entitlement?

They clearly knew the consequences for what they were doing. It's the rule. Period. Don't bitch about enforcing them. And they're not being treated like murderers. That's a bit over the top.

Rueben Randle didn't frick up anything. His friends and teammates fricked up and if anyone has a right to be raging lunatic mad it's him but he isn't. So maybe those of you who do absolutely nothing for the team shouldn;t be either

The entitlement is the attitude of we should be able to do whatever we want(brawl, smoke illegal substances) and yall(the fanbase) shouldn't say anything about it. Just be quiet and support all of us, even if what some of us are doing is detrimental to the team you support

Maybe those of us who graduated from LSU, send our hard earned money to the TAF and pay state income taxes that provides for LSU's fricking EXISTENCE would like the players who represent our alma mater to use their fricking heads.

Until you do all three STFU, kid.
