Quote ESPN's Joe Schad is reporting that Mathieu would like another shot at LSU. According to ESPN, Mathieu would like to remain in class at LSU in 2012 while paying his own way in hopes of returning in 2013 if it can be worked out with the school. The ESPN report says the idea would have to be approved at many levels and that "it is being discussed." ...

I am sure he would be "paying his on way."

Plus, he knows LSU is where he needs to be and he can still play football in 2013 and even 2014, if necessary. The SEC gives him a huge amount of coverage for his skills. :dog: Title: Re: "Tyrann Mathieu would like to return to LSU" Post by: SUPERCOACH on August 13, 2012, 01:21:49 PM I guess the Randy Travis thing didn't work out.

A year without football is a pretty stiff punishment. If TM can get his life turned back around in a postive way let him back on the team next year. Forget about the Bama-LSU rivaly for a minute. This is a 20 year old kid struggling with a drug problem. I hope he gets himself clean and comes back strong.

It sounds like he has figured out that McNeese State is not going to give him the exposure he needs, plus his potential draft status will take a nose dive with drug issues. But if he turns things around, then there's money to be made. So, I'm not convinced it is a character change instead of a money thing, but whatever works. I do hope this was the wake up call he needed.Title: Re: "Tyrann Mathieu would like to return to LSU" Post by: ricky023 on August 13, 2012, 02:29:33 PM This could be a good situation for all parties if it works out.

Pray for him and let's hope can overcome this with Gods' help. RTR!

The first thing he will have to do is get over himself about how important he is before he can tackle the other issues.

We have plenty of 20 yr olds getting their butts shot at around the world! He's got brains.he has just "chosen" to do things different and not abide by the rules.
And I'd like to know who's holding a gun to his head? Plenty of 20 yr olds would give their left one just to suit up and sit on the bench, and this dumb*** "choses" to brek the rules. Sorry, a 20 yr old is NOT a kid..and don't start whining he is from a broken home, didn't have a Big Wheel when he was 4 yrs old, bla, bla. PLENTY of kids are from broken homes, etc. etc. and chose to live life according to the rules! Yeah, ok, there is forgiveness...but don't forget there are also "CONSEQUENCES!

No surprise there. 3 strikes and you're out is pretty much SOP in any situation.

As a soldier when I was 18, I was still a kid, but with huge responsibilities. It's a fine line, but the military makes you grow up, college keeps you as knuckle-headed kid. :dog: Title: Re: "Tyrann Mathieu would like to return to LSU" Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 13, 2012, 07:34:45 PM It appears that his request to remain at LSU has been denied. Wow! I think he must have been a constant pain-in-the-petunia with several other "incidents" and they finally got tired of his antics. :o Title: Re: "Tyrann Mathieu would like to return to LSU" Post by: McBaman on August 15, 2012, 11:49:55 AM This story/situation keeps dragging on including comments from LeSmiles yesterday (I think it was yesterday.) If TM stayed at LSU, gotta presume he would hang with friends on the FB team, and gotta believe that would be a distraction for the team. If I were Les, I'd want him gone.
What I don't get is why Les keeps referring to a guy who failed drug tests as "a quality individual."
