we play a ton of players on our defense and i bet chavis could find a spot for all of them.

if les was to let hb7 back then im sure it would be an all out battle in the spring and he wouldn't be handed his spot back.

this is still a rumor and even if les and lsu agreed to let him back he still has to prove he can stay off drugs.

Mathieu could stay at LSU and pay tuition, but Alleva said that was unrealistic.

"He's not going to stay in school," he said.

if this is true, then it says a lot about his relationships with his teammates, coaches, and the school.

It would be easier to transfer down to a smaller school, play right away and then enter the NFL draft... and I wouldn't blame him at all if he took that route.

But if he makes that commitment to clean up, sit out a year, and play again for LSU, more power to him, and I would have the utmost respect for the tougher road travelled and his place in LSU football history.

I am just guessing but I think they told him he was suspended for a year and pride got the best of Mathieu. He was probably mad and said f-that I will just transfer. Now that he has had time to think about it and/or seen what type of facilities these FCS schools have he has come to his senses.

Let him sit out a year.

Hopefully that turns into half a season

Sounds like he may be rethinking his decision to transfer

he just wants to use best of the facilities. when the pro day comes he'll participate and bolt for NFL. that way he gets to practice with the best, get the best exposure from nfl scouts and use the great facility we have. no way he sticks around for a year doing nothing. his mind will change when the agents come running around.

That's just it, future... TM has already established himself... Quite nicely at that.

I couldn't imagine the first time he suits up for McNeese, and it hits him "I was just playing for LSU...........and a Heisman finalist". Ego or no ego, that would be tough to do.

Coming back, cleaning up, and sitting out for a year to earn his spot back is a lot harder than enrolling at McNeese, instantly becoming their best player, and dominating.

LSU is my favorite team in the west. I, like many UGA fans, knew we were in for a long night.
