Default honey badger cut from lsu

for violation of team rules...one must assume, based on history, that he had one too many failed drug tests.

you'd think any players would take note of what happened with ryan perriloux a few years ago. les miles doesn't play, i don't care how talented you are.

hopefully tyrone matthieu learns from this, and moves forward...rather than end up like some other highly talented but ultimately stupid players.

It takes a lot for Miles to get rid of a star player.

You're right, 3 strikes and you're out for Les. I never thought Mathieu was much of a team player. Simon will come in and play a solid, less risky coverage. Someone will fill in as a quality returner. We always have several of those. Talented as Mathieu is, he is not irreplaceable.

Default In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.

LSU had telegraphed that Honey Badger was "on the outs". LSU had offered zero, nothing, notta, about Matthieu as Heisman candidate. Also, he did not appear at SEC meeting media event.

As Andy Warhol stated, "In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Mark Honey Badger expired.

Collins, Perilloux, Jefferson(should have been sent packing), Mathieu, I'm sure the list will continue.

In other LSU news, Jarett Lee throws for 200+ yds and a TD in limited action the other night, and Jefferson signed a contract and sent packing after one day. Les, Les, Les........
