sorry salivating Big Sky coaches, Honey Badger to McNeese St

[NAUGUY6615]

he would have loved Flagstaff. Smoking weed in high altitude gets you twice as high.

 

[GrizLA]

hmmm, doesn't UM play McNeese next year? This guy is a junior..hmmm I notice Weber plays them this year, I think I saw that someplace. UM does not need a guy like this period. Enough is enough.

 

[NAUGUY6615]

he plays one year at McNeese, transfers back to an FBS school for his senior year. Or just comes out for the draft after this season.

If he transfer back to an FBS school he would have to sit a year, and that is if he had a redshirt year available.

You would think he would want to be on a winning team. Not to say us, but A winning team.

Say like, oh LSU! :lol:

And who whom who cares?

Not confirmed as far as I can find.
Probably negotiating how much advance notice he gets for his drug tests

Can't say this hurts my feelings. The SEC irritates the shit out of me and I don't like any of the teams down there so this is all fine with me.

I'm sure he would be a force at FCS level but he was schooled in the National Championship game against
Alabama.....a real embarrassing performance.

Yep, as noted in this article http://espn.go.com/college-football...hieu-dismissal-deprives-sport-exciting-player

FWIW, it has been confirmed that Mathieu has talked with the McNeese coaching staff, but it's not a given he will be going there. Mathieu would certainly be a scary defender at the FCS level, but why would the school want someone around who can't stay away from drugs? (I know some out there don't consider "weed" a drug in the usual sense, but it's still illegal and its use grounds for dismissal.)

The ESPN article contains this quote: "For the team, we lost a quality person," [LSU Coach Les] Miles said. "We enjoyed working him. He was a great teammate. I think he gave us a lot of examples we can learn from. I think he is a quality, quality guy who had a behavior issue. That's it. Certainly the overview of his time with us is positive."

Question: How is a person who repeatedly breaks the rules, and therefore lets the team down, "a quality person" and "great teammate" :?:

Because he is a quality person and great teammate. He just smoked too much weed which doesn't make you a bad person or bad teammate. Les Miles isn't stupid, he knows that over 80% of college football players regularly smoke weed.

Don't know where you got your nice, numerical statistic -- 80% -- since I haven't heard anyone has taken a poll. While I have no doubt that many college students -- including football players -- do smoke weed, I rather doubt the figure is that high.

But that's not the point. If you're too arrogant to quit breaking the rules -- or at least tone it down so you don't get caught -- you ARE a bad (stupid, at least) person and a bad teammate.
