    ouch...


    I like how the only trouble any LSU player has gotten in has been from defending a women's honor.

    Says a lot about the players IMO

    Yeah, and he's about to be 21. Slap him on the hand and move on.

    Wasn't a big deal imo, but 6 offseason arrests doesn't look good. LSU had a guy busted for roids and a guy in a bar fight..they don't look good either.

    eh...yeah... and I did it when I was 20 years old too.

    know what the difference is?

    a. I wasn't stupid to drink out in the open public.

    b. I never got caught.


    So like dhead said, move on. but I was just making a reference to ALL the teams getting into trouble on their teams, not just georgia.

    from personal experience last year...the Athens police are jerks when it comes to open containers.

    I give Richt credit though...he does punish/kick off players...something Fulmer rarely if ever does
